From the list below, select the TRUE statement(s) according to the invoice.

There may be more than one correct answer!

This invoice includes items from outside the USA.

This is a true statement. The invoice lists "Austrian Edelweiss Extract" and "African Honey-Bee Thorax". Something described as "Austrian" comes from Austria, a German-speaking country in Central Europe. "African" bees come from Africa.

Clients must sign for their purchase when it arrives.

This statement is true. The invoice states that "a signature is required upon delivery". To "sign for" an item is to write your name on a piece of paper as confirmation that the item has been delivered. A "signature" is an "autograph". Example: "I've been practising my new signature for after I'm married".

The International Cosmetics Supply Center will accept responsibility for all damages.

This is the only false statement. The disclaimer states that the company can make "no guarantee that your application for refund will be accepted".

Compensation claims must be made in three working days or less.

This is a true statement. We read that "No claims for compensation can be made after three working days". This means that customers must make their request for compensation in under three working days. "Working days" are the days when most businesses operate: Monday to Friday, usually.
