Defined terms
All terms used in these Terms and Conditions shall be understood to apply to both genders and numbers as required by the context. For the sake of editorial simplicity, these Terms and Conditions use the masculine form by default to facilitate reading. This wording naturally also includes the feminine form and applies without distinction to all persons concerned, regardless of their gender.
The section headings are provided for convenience only and are not intended to affect the understanding or interpretation of the Terms and Conditions.
Scope of Application
These Terms and Conditions, together with the sales contract, form an integral part of the agreement between the Seller and the Customer. They apply to all legal transactions concluded on the Website. Any terms and conditions of the Customer shall not apply, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller.
In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the sales contract, the latter shall prevail.
The Seller reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. The version of the Terms and Conditions in effect at the time of the order on the Website shall be binding.
Products & Description
Although the Seller strives to provide the Customer with the most accurate and complete information possible, the images and descriptions of the products displayed on the Website or in the Seller's catalogs and brochures may differ slightly in color, texture, or size from the products actually delivered, particularly due to print quality, model changes, or the Customer's monitor settings.
All images and descriptions of products appearing on the Website, in the Seller's catalogs, or in the Seller's brochures are therefore provided strictly for illustrative purposes and do not constitute product descriptions, but rather statements regarding their quality.
Prices & Payment
Prices
All prices quoted by the Seller are denominated and payable solely in the following currencies:
- Swiss Francs (CHF)
- Euro (EUR)
- British Pounds (GBP)
- U.S. Dollars (USD)
All prices quoted by the Seller are final and include all applicable taxes (including VAT at the rate applicable at the time of the order), as well as packaging and shipping costs for the selected delivery method.
The applicable price is the one quoted by the Seller at the time the Customer confirms the order. The Seller reserves the right to change its prices at any time.
Prices
Payment Methods
For payments made by credit card or other instant payment methods, the amount is charged immediately upon order confirmation.
For payments by invoice, the Customer must pay the full amount within 30 days of receiving the delivery.
If paying by advance bank transfer, the Customer must make the transfer within 10 days of the order confirmation. Bank details are provided in the order confirmation.
Delivery will only take place after full payment has been received in the Seller's bank account.
Items in stock are reserved for the period specified above to allow for advance payment. If payment is not received by the end of this period, the reservation is canceled and the order is terminated without further notice.
Late Payment
In the event of late payment, the Customer is deemed to be in default upon the mere expiration of the payment deadline specified on the invoice (Art. 102(2) CO).
The Seller may suspend all further deliveries until the Customer has paid all amounts owed (including reminder fees, collection costs, and late payment interest).
Default interest at a rate of 5% per annum is due upon the due date without formal notice (Art. 104 CO). The Seller charges an administrative fee of CHF 20 per payment reminder.
In the event of unsuccessful reminders, the Seller may refer the matter to a collection agency. Collection costs shall be borne by the Customer.
Retention of Title
The products remain the property of the Seller until full payment of the price (Art. 715 CC).
The Seller is entitled to unilaterally request an entry in the register of retention of title for unpaid products. The Customer agrees in advance to sign any official document necessary for this purpose.
Prior to the transfer of ownership of the products, the Customer may not pledge them, assign them, or transfer them without the Seller's prior written consent.
Refunds
Any refund owed to the Customer under these Terms and Conditions will be issued via the payment method used at the time of the order.
The Seller will endeavor to process refunds within approximately 30 days. This timeframe is provided for informational purposes only and may vary depending on the payment method used and the processing times of financial institutions.
The Seller shall not be held liable for any delays in refunds attributable to payment service providers or banking institutions.
Product Availability
Information regarding product availability is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change at any time.
If an ordered product is no longer available, the Seller will notify the Customer as soon as possible.
Conclusion of the Contract
Ordering Process
By confirming their order, the Customer makes a binding and final offer to purchase to the Seller.
The Contract is concluded when the Seller sends an order confirmation to the Customer (summarizing the products ordered, prices, fees, and delivery address).
Cancellation and Modification of Orders
Cancellation by the Seller
After the contract has been concluded, the Seller reserves the unilateral right at any time to cancel an order that has not yet been delivered, without having to provide a reason.
Cancellation and Modification by the Customer
Before the order is shipped
The Customer may cancel or modify their order as long as the product has not been shipped by the Seller.
To validly exercise their right to cancel or modify the order, the Customer must notify the Seller by email or via the dedicated form on the Website before the expiration of the aforementioned time limit, using the contact information provided in Article 11.3.
After the order has been shipped
Once the product has been shipped, the Customer may not cancel or modify the order. The Customer remains obligated to pay the price and accept delivery of the product.
Cancellation Policy
Products must be returned in their original packaging, complete with all accessories, in perfect condition, and unused.
If the Customer cancels the order, the Customer is responsible for the cost of returning the products.
Delivery
Delivery Areas
Unless otherwise specified on the Website, products are shipped to the delivery address provided by the Customer when the order is confirmed.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated when the Seller confirms the order. The Customer is solely responsible for any failure to deliver a product resulting from the provision of an incorrect or outdated address.
Delivery Times
The Seller will endeavor to ship the products within an estimated 30 business days (non-binding), starting from the date of order confirmation or, in the case of advance payment, from the date of receipt of payment.
Transfer of Risk and Title
The risk of loss and title to the goods pass to the Customer upon the Seller's delivery of the goods to the first carrier.
For orders picked up at a store or pickup location, the risk of loss and title to the goods pass to the Customer upon actual pickup.
In the event of damage occurring during transport, the Customer must immediately notify both the carrier and the Seller.
Return of Products by the Carrier
If products are returned by the carrier following an unsuccessful delivery, the Seller will notify the Customer via email at the address provided when the order was placed.
If the Customer does not respond within 3 months of receiving this email, the Seller may cancel the order and retain the amount paid as a lump-sum contractual penalty.
The Customer shall bear sole responsibility for the costs and risks associated with the return, storage, and any subsequent reshipment of the products. The Seller may require advance payment of the reshipment costs prior to any reshipment.
Warranties
Seller's Warranties
The Seller warrants that the delivered products are free from defects that eliminate or significantly diminish their value or their fitness for the purpose for which goods of this nature are ordinarily intended (Art. 197 CO).
The Seller's warranty does not, however, cover the following:
- Normal wear and tear and natural aging of the products
- Damage caused by improper use, maintenance, modification, or repair of the products by the Customer
- Accidental damage to the products (drops, impacts, liquids)
Reporting Defects
The Customer shall inspect the products upon receipt and immediately notify the Seller of any apparent defects. Apparent defects include, but are not limited to, delivery errors, missing products, damaged packaging, or any other visible defect in the products or a failure of basic functions that can be detected upon first use.
Hidden defects must be reported to the Seller immediately upon discovery.
The Customer must notify the Seller of any defects by registered mail or email, specifying:
- The order number
- A precise description of the defect found
- Photographs if the defect is visible
Failure to notify the Seller of defects within the prescribed time limit shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the defects by the Customer, unless the Customer was intentionally misled by the Seller.
Customer's Rights in the Event of Defects
When a defect is established and has been duly reported within the prescribed time limit, the Customer has the following rights: The Customer may request repair or replacement of the defective product, with the Seller retaining the right to choose the appropriate option.
If repair or replacement is impossible or unreasonable, the Customer may, at their discretion, request termination of the contract or a proportional reduction in price.
Manufacturer's Warranty
Certain products sold on the Site may be covered by a manufacturer's warranty, in accordance with the specific terms and conditions set forth in the original documentation provided with the product or available from the manufacturer.
The Customer shall obtain information regarding the warranty terms directly from the manufacturer. Only the manufacturer is bound by its warranty. The Seller does not provide any warranty other than that referred to in Article 9.
Liability
The Seller is liable for any damage caused to the Customer intentionally or through gross negligence. The liability of the Seller and its auxiliary persons for minor or moderate negligence is excluded, regardless of the grounds for liability invoked, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The Seller disclaims liability, as well as that of its agents, for:
- Indirect or consequential damages, loss of profits, and unrealized savings;
- Damages resulting from a delay in delivery;
- Damages caused by failure to follow the instructions for use or installation, improper or non-compliant use of the product, or the use of incompatible accessories or parts;
- Damages resulting from force majeure (including natural disasters, fire, strikes, war, pandemics);
- Loss of data on the Site.
Miscellaneous
Partial Invalidity
Any provision of the Terms and Conditions that is, in whole or in part, inconsistent with mandatory Swiss law shall be severable, and any total or partial invalidity of such a provision shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the provision in question or of the other provisions of the Terms and Conditions.
In the event of the total or partial invalidity of a clause, the Parties shall use their best efforts to replace the invalid or unenforceable clause with a substitute clause whose content and meaning are as close as possible to the original intent of the T&Cs.
