1. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) of SwissExtract AG (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”) apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity.

2. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller’s online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by the Customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the Seller’s online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping basket and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.3 The Seller may accept the Customer’s offer within five days,

by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
by requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed the order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer’s offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.

2.4 When an offer is made via the Seller’s online order form, the text of the contract shall be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer’s order has been sent. The Seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the Seller’s online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the Seller’s website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by providing the relevant login data. 2.5 Before the order is binding, the Seller will make the order text available to the customer.

2.5 Before bindingly placing the order via the Seller’s online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.6 The German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.7 Order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct, so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

3.1 Consumers have the right to cancel the contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day on which the consumer or a named third party who is not the carrier takes possession of the last goods. In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must inform us of his or her decision to withdraw from the contract by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter or e-mail sent by post). To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that he or she sends the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period. Consumers:inside do not have the right to withdraw from contracts concerning:

Contracts for the supply of goods which are not prefabricated and for the manufacture of which an individual selection for determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.
Contracts for the delivery of sealed goods which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after delivery (e.g. quickly perishable).
Contracts for the delivery of goods if these have been inseparably mixed with other goods after delivery due to their nature.
In case of an effective revocation, all payments received by SwissExtract will be refunded. SwissExtract can refuse the repayment until it has received the goods back or until proof has been provided that the goods have been returned, whichever is earlier. For the repayment, SwissExtract uses the same means of payment that was used for the original transaction.

The direct costs of the return shipment shall be borne by the consumer:in. The return of goods that cannot be sent as a parcel (in particular plants without suitable and appropriate special packaging) will be sent by a forwarding agent and must also be borne by the consumer.

4. RETURNS

4.1 Returns to SwissExtract AG are at the expense and risk of the customer. The customer must send the goods in their original packaging, complete with all accessories and together with the delivery note and a detailed description of the defects to the return address provided by Alpinols.ch.

Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside Switzerland but the Client makes the payment from a country outside Switzerland.

Furthermore, this does not apply with regard to the costs for the return if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. In the event of an effective exercise of the right of withdrawal by the customer, the provision on this in the seller’s instructions on withdrawal shall apply to the costs of returning the goods.

6.3 If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer, even in the case of consumers, as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer commissions the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously notified the customer of such person or institution.

6.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has, with due diligence, concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier.

In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.
