Your rights regarding Advance Purchase are the same as those for any other purchase at SCIENTIFIC COSMECEUTICALS S.A..

Items received into stock may be pre-allocated to satisfy Advance Payment orders and customers making Advance Payments will receive items in priority to customers on the Waiting List or customers ordering through the Site for immediate delivery. Please be aware that we may be unable to deliver selected Advance Payment merchandise due to production problems or quality check issues identified when we receive an order into stock.

Prices shown on the Site are in Swiss Francs and are exclusive of local VAT (outside of Switzerland) at the applicable rate unless you have selected an alternative country where VAT is not chargeable. All prices and offers remain valid as advertised from time to time. The Swiss Franc or Euros price of a product displayed on the Site at the time the order is accepted will be honoured, except in cases of patent error.

Product prices are set at the beginning of each season using existing currency exchange rates. These prices are subject to change if the applicable currency exchange rate changes before your order is accepted or the items are subject to markdowns at any time during the selling period.

Customers purchasing from a country served as « DDP – free domicile cleared excluding duties and taxes » and you will be charged for the items purchased and shipping costs (including insurance) only. Import duty or tax costs will be invoiced to you directly from the import broker / delivery company upon receipt or at the customs office, pending local regulations and practices.

An estimated cost for taxes and duties will be shown at the time of the purchase, but will not be charged by Scientific Cosmeceuticals S.A. However, these estimates cannot be taken as a committment on our part or that of our partners, and we recommend you contact your local customs authority to determine a landed cost price prior to purchase completion.

If you are a customer whose credit card is not denominated in Swiss Francs, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your credit card company processes the transaction.
