4.1 The contract is executed upon receipt by the User of an order confirmation email sent by the Supplier to the email address provided by the User. The User is required to retain the order confirmation email containing all the details of the order. 4.2 In the case of an online sale of the Products on the Website, the User shall create and sign up for a personal account, providing a valid email address (mandatory to submit the order) and a password. Already registered Users can access their personal accounts by entering their credentials. 4.3 In the case of a direct sale of the Products via email, the order is considered as placed upon request of the relevant billing details and sending of an order confirmation email. The order shall be processed only once the User provides the Supplier with the order confirmation signed in acceptance.5. Conditions and availability of products
5.1 The information and characteristics of the Products are available on the Website. UpSurgeOn undertakes to provide a detailed description of the items on sale, still considering that the technical specifications and images of a Product might be incomplete and not exhaustive or subject to amendments by the manufacturer. 5.2 Product availability in the Website only refers to the availability of the Product at the moment the User places their order. Therefore, it has to be regarded as a mere guidance because the Supplier may run out of inventory prior to the order confirmation (due to more than one User on the Website) or, due to an IT malfunction, the Products may be framed as available while they are not, for example because they have exceeded their useful lifespan. For this reason, UpSurgeOn reserves the right to check a product availability upon receipt of the order and, in case the product is out of stock, to communicate the new estimated delivery dates or agree a different solution with the User.6. Sale prices
6.1 All the sale prices of the Products (“Price”) are expressed in Euro and do not include VAT. If applicable, VAT shall be calculated when selecting the Product and adding it to the “basket”. 6.2 Shipping costs are not included in the Price. Shipping costs shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate amount of the ordered items. In the case of online sale, the aggregate Price shall become visible after adding at least one Product to the basket. 6.3 In the case of delivery to countries or territories outside the EU, the recipient might be required to pay customs duties and import taxes upon arrival of the Products. The recipient is indeed regarded as goods importer and as such they will be bound to abide by the laws and regulations applicable in the country or territory of delivery. 6.4 Any additional costs arising out of customs duties and/or import taxes shall be borne by the recipient. UpSurgeOn shall not pay these costs in advance and shall not be held liable for any customs charges. Should the User refuse to pay import taxes, the goods will be retained by customs. No returns will be accepted.7. Terms of payment and billing
