Prices
The minimum amount for an order must be €90.
The prices listed on the website are in EUROS not including Spanish VAT (21%). The VAT will be added to the amount of purchased products. For companies within the European Union registered for European VAT, this VAT will not be applied. Customers from outside the EU can buy without Spanish VAT. They do not include shipping costs or export costs (for countries outside the EC) which will be added to the price of the products purchased at the time of order processing.
If any other tax is applicable, this will be indicated.
Delivery and transport costs
Deliveries
The standard delivery time after receipt and payment of the order can vary between 2 and 10 days, depending on the service chosen and the country of destination.
Payment and execution of the order methods
The customer can pay the amount of his/her order in any of the following ways. During the purchase process the customer must choose the payment method:
- VISA or MASTERCARD credit card
All operations involving the transmission of personal or bank details are made using a secure environment, based on the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) standard security technology server. Any information you supply to us is transmitted encrypted through the network.
Also your credit card details are introduced directly into the bank's page, via the POS (Point of Sale) terminal and are not entered or recorded in any server of INSTITUTE BCN ESTHETICS SL.
When paying with VISA or MASTERCARD, you will always be asked for the following information: the card number, the expiration date, and a Validation Code that matches the last three digits of the number printed in italics on the back of your VISA or MASTERCARD, which guarantees more security for the transaction.
This payment method is valid only on the website.
When the purchase amount had been charged fraudulently or improperly using a credit card number, the card holder may demand immediate cancellation of the charge. In such a case, the corresponding debit and recredit entries in the accounts of the provider and the holder will be made as soon as possible.
However, if the purchase had actually been made by the cardholder and the demand for repayment was not as a result of the right of cancellation or termination and, therefore, the cancellation of the corresponding charge had been wrongly demanded, he/she will be obliged to compensate INSTITUTE BCN ESTHETICS SL for damages caused as a result of such cancellation
By selecting bank transfer, you will receive, along with the confirmation of your order, an e-mail with the bank details of INSTITUTE BCN ESTHETICS SL.
When making the transfer, it is very important to indicate in the subject the order number, as well as your name and surname, and make the transfer within 3 days after the date of confirmation of the order to validate this.
If you wish, you can send us the proof of the transfer by e-mail to info@institutebcn.com. However in any event, the order will not be considered effective until our administration department has confirmation of the transfer from the bank.
Please remember that the payment must be made in EUROS and that all possible exchange and banking commissions will be charged to you.
In the case of bank transfers made from outside of Spain, it is very important that, when ordering the transfer, always request your bank to charge the bank commissions and expenses corresponding to your entity at source. Otherwise, INSTITUTE BCN ESTHETICS SL may withhold the shipment of your order on account of not receiving the full amount thereof.
Any possible exchange and bank fees are for the account of the customer.
