Order process
The advertising of products on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat”; and your order for products constitutes a contractual offer. No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.
In order to enter into a contract to purchase products from us, you will need to take the following steps:
- You must add any the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout.
- If you are a new customer, you must then create an account with us and log in; if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details.
- Once you are logged in, you must confirm your order and your consent to these terms of use.
- You might be transferred to the online payment website, if you selwct online payment as an option for your payments, and they will handle your payment;
- We will then send you an initial acknowledgment.
- Once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.
We will not file a copy of these terms of use specifically in relation to your order. We may update the version of these terms of sale on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you download, print and retain a copy of these terms of sale for your records.
The only language in which we provide these terms of use is English, if it is not stated differently.
Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any input errors by reviewing the contents of the shopping cart. You may correct those input errors before placing your order by editing the shopping cart and updating your changes.
The products
Not all of our products are available to buy on-line. Products that have been selected to be sold on line are marked with a special symbol / logo.
Price and payment
Prices for products are quoted on our website. The website contains a number of products and it is always possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect. We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that a product's correct price will be stated when you pay for the product.
Due to sizes and weight of products listed on our site, in addition to the price of the products, you may have to pay a delivery charge, which will be as stated when you pay for the product. Please be atemntive, as the delivery cost in some cass mighty be the close to the product price, thus it can double product cost.
Payment must be made upon the submission of your order. We may withhold the products and/or cancel the contract between us if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds.
The prices on the website exclude all Swiss value added taxes (where applicable).
Payment for all products must be made by following the instructions on the website.
