In this way, your password is associated with your identity and User profile within the Website. You will only be able to carry out transactions if you have entered the Website using your secret password. In terms of the provisions contained in the Commercial Code, the use of this password allows us to identify you in the digital environment and to attribute to you the acts and transactions that you perform in the Online Store.

Information given to the User before the transaction. Before placing your Order, You may review the characteristics and specifications of the goods and the terms and conditions that are applicable to the purchase of the item (including the price, charges, payment methods, and special conditions that may be applicable to the delivery of the goods). This information generally appears on the information associated with each product. In addition, all purchases and sales of items are governed by these Terms and Conditions. Before placing your Order, our Online Shop will allow you to review the items you have selected, the quantity of products you have chosen to purchase and the address to which the delivery will be made, in addition to the total price to be paid and the taxes that correspond to the transaction.

Item Availability. Items displayed on the Website belong to our Online Product Catalog. Items are subject to availability and therefore may not be in stock at the time you place an Order. Please note that the fact that items are listed in the Online Catalog on the Web Site does not constitute a unilateral offer to sell these goods by OTSUKA. On the contrary, when you submit a Purchase Order to us, you are making an offer to purchase a certain quantity of goods from us. In the event that we accept your offer, you will receive a Purchase Confirmation data message. In general, if we do not have enough goods in stock or require additional information from you to process the transaction, we will notify these situations before sending you a Purchase Confirmation.

Buying and selling of items. The purchase and sale is perfected and binding on both parties at the moment you receive a Purchase Confirmation message from OTSUKA through the Web Site; generally, we charge your credit or debit card at the moment we issue your Purchase Confirmation.

Risk of loss or damage to the item. You are responsible for the loss, damage or deterioration of your goods from the moment the goods are delivered. The merchandise is considered delivered when OTSUKA or the courier company makes it available to the addressee at the address established for delivery and when the addressee signs as receipt.

Delivery of the goods. The articles are delivered in the terms indicated in our Shipping Policy. OTSUKA does not assume responsibility for delays in delivery made by the courier company or impossibility of delivery when such delays or impossibility of performance derive from some fortuitous case, force majeure, contingency or health emergency and, in general, from any cause beyond the direct control of OTSUKA. In any case and only when it is directly attributable to Otsuka (not to the courier company), the maximum responsibility of OTSUKA for any non-delivery will be equivalent to the amount paid for the products acquired. In the event that the courier company fails to deliver the item in two visits to the User, or when the recipient is located where the forced occurrence applies, the item shall be held at a branch office of the courier company for 10 calendar days and if the recipient does not go to the branch office during that time, it shall be returned to OTSUKA without liability and without return or refund to the customer. The delivery will be agreed to the address registered by the User at the time of purchase. In the case of monthly or annual subscriptions, the change of address can be made during the subscription period, prior notice to OTSUKA. In the event that the updated address leaves our free delivery area, the forwarding of shipment to your new address must be paid. Said reissue has a cost of $ 100.00 Mexican pesos for each month remaining on your subscription.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders. The User and OTSUKA agree that OTSUKA shall have the right to cancel all or part of any transaction after the Purchase Confirmation and up to the time of delivery. In this event, OTSUKA will contact you and let you know that your order has been cancelled.
