Article 1 - Application of the General Conditions of Sale
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale do not regulate IAF Network S.p.A.'s B2B business relations.
Confirmation of the order implies the Customer's acceptance of these General Conditions.
IAF Network S.p.A. reserves the right to modify the present General Conditions of Sale at any time by publishing a new version on this website. The applicable General Conditions of Sale are those published on this website at the time the order is placed. It is therefore recommended to periodically review these General Terms and Conditions of Sale as they may be modified over time.
Article 2 - Validity of offers
The articles visible on the site are available while stocks last.
Product availability refers to the actual availability at the time the Customer places the order. It is therefore to be considered purely indicative since, given the simultaneous presence of several users on the site, the products chosen may be sold to other Customers before the order is confirmed.
In the event that a product is sold out after purchase, in the case of advance payment IAFSTORE undertakes to offer a voucher or reimburse the Customer within 15 days.
Article 3 - Presentation of products
The products on sale are described and presented as accurately as possible.
Nevertheless, in the event of errors or omissions in this presentation, IAFSTORE declines any responsibility, for this reason and for the safety of consumers:
Customers purchasing food supplement products are invited to
Please note that the product images are purely indicative and illustrative; the packaging may vary without affecting the properties of the product.
The customer is invited to check the correspondence with the information given online before opening the packaging; if he/she finds any differences, he/she should contact Customer Service as soon as possible.
All catalogue products are stored in our temperature-controlled warehouses.
During the summer period (May-September) the bars are shipped in special thermal packs.
Our couriers, however, do not ship in refrigerated vehicles; therefore, these heat-sensitive products may deteriorate during transport.
IAF NETWORK S.p.A. will not be responsible for such events.
Article 4 - Product prices
Prices are presented in the current currency of the country selected during registration.
The amount of VAT appears when the customer selects the product.
In the event of changes in VAT rates, these changes may affect the final price of the items without notification to the Customer.
IAFSTORE reserves the right to change its prices at any time; however, the products will be invoiced at the price in effect at the time of registration of the order.
Article 5 - Non-EU countries
Prices for non-EU countries are indicated excluding VAT.
Shipments to non-EU countries may be subject to possible taxes or customs duties that do not depend on the will of IAFSTORE, but on external entities.
In addition, we remind you that the duties/taxes and/or the necessary documentation related to the delivery of a shipment are totally at the customer's expense, since he/she is considered as an official importer, with consequent acceptance of the laws and rules in force in the country of importation (country where you will receive the goods).
IAFSTORE is not obliged to verify customs duties, nor applicable taxes, nor any documentation that may be required.
Customs reserves the right to inspect packages without prior notice to the sender and/or consignee.
Article 6 - Order
The Customer validates the order via the instructions presented on the shopping cart page. Validation of the order implies acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale.
After confirmation of the order, the Customer shall receive a confirmation e-mail at the e-mail address indicated.
Article 7 - Use of discount codes and store credits
On the summary page of your shopping cart, you may enter any active discount codes, received via newsletters or displayed in our social networks, to obtain further discounts.
Store credits, on the other hand, are credited by Customer Service in agreement with the customer following any misunderstandings.
If you are in possession of a store credit, all you have to do is enter the desired products in the shopping cart and it will be automatically deducted from your order total.
Article 8 - Treatment of packages not delivered by our courier
These are packages that were not delivered to the final recipient and were returned to the sender.
-
Cause of package return: unknown consignee or non-existent/incomplete address
These are parcels that were not delivered to the addressee because there is a discrepancy between the address or name entered in the order and the actual address.
In this case, you must check the delivery data entered and, if necessary, correct them in your account in order to facilitate subsequent deliveries.
If different from the recipient's call sign, it is important to specify the call sign on the intercom and, if it is a business, to indicate it.
IAFSTORE reserves the right to proceed with reimbursement, if due, within about 10/15 from the return of the shipment, a timeframe that may vary depending on the technical-logistical timing of the warehouse.
-
Reason for return of parcel: "ABSENT / NOTIFIED"
These are the packages that were not delivered to the consignee because the latter was absent in all delivery attempts.
IAFSTORE reserves the right to proceed with reimbursement, if due, within approximately 10/15 from the return of the shipment, a timeframe which may vary depending on the technical-logistical timing of the warehouse.
-
Reason for return of parcel: "REFUSED"
These are the packages that have not been delivered to the consignee because the latter has refused them.
IAFSTORE reserves the right to proceed with reimbursement, if due, within about 10/15 from the return of the shipment, a timeframe which may vary depending on the technical-logistical timing of the warehouse.
-
Cause of package return: "DAMAGED"
This refers to packages that were not delivered to the recipient because the recipient rejected them as damaged.
In this case you must inform our Customer Service specifying whether you would prefer to receive a refund, if due, or the return of the products, if available.
If, on the other hand, you wish to receive a damaged shipment, you must accept the parcel, ensuring that the courier places the specific reservation, i.e. "damaged/wet parcel" etc., and take photographs of the parcel and products to forward to our Customer Service.
This procedure is required to ensure that the anomaly/damage file is opened correctly.

Also, Article 14 co.2 of EU Reg. 524/13 provides that: "Traders established in the Union, acting through online sales or service contracts, who have committed or are obliged to use one or more ADR entities to resolve disputes with consumers, shall inform consumers about the existence of the ODR platform and the possibility of using the ODR platform to resolve their disputes. They shall provide an electronic link to the ODR platform on their websites.
Therefore, for any dispute that has not been resolved directly with the Company, the Customer is informed that he/she can have free recourse to the mediation service set up by the European Commission, through the European online dispute resolution platform.
Website address: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/?event=main.home2.show
Before resorting to the aforementioned mediation service, the consumer must have already attempted to resolve the dispute directly with the professional by means of a written complaint or have made a complaint under the terms of the contract concluded with the professional.
