GTC

General Terms and Conditions

01. Introduction

The following General Terms and Conditions of Jakob Schlaepfer AG are valid for all products and services of Jakob Schlaepfer AG. The customer is any person (natural and legal) who conducts business relations with Jakob Schlaepfer AG.

(For simplicity, General Terms and Conditions are referred to as "GTC" and Jakob Schlaepfer AG as "Jakob Schlaepfer").

02. Scope of application

All business transactions are subject to the GTC of Jakob Schlaepfer. The present GTC are used for business processing and delivery. Conflicting or deviating GTC shall not be recognised unless Jakob Schlaepfer expressly agrees to this in writing.

03. Obligations of Jakob Schlaepfer

Jakob Schlaepfer has the obligation to provide their services professionally and with care. In addition, Jakob Schlaepfer finds it very important to offer the widest possible range at a fair price.

In Jakob Schlaepfer's online shop, the offer of products and services is aimed at (natural and legal) responsible individuals who are capable of acting.

04. No guarantee without information

Jakob Schlaepfer tries to offer their customers the best possible information about the product range and services. It is important to us that we present this information in a way that is as customer-friendly as possible. However, Jakob Schlaepfer does not guarantee any information about product range, availability, delivery times, services and guarantee conditions or duration. This information may not be construed as a guarantee. We assume no liability for the correctness, topicality and completeness.

05. Prices

For orders from our online shop, the prices offered at the time of the order apply. All prices are inclusive of Value added tax. The listed "fixed prices" correspond to non-binding prices in Switzerland. No liability is assumed for other competitors' prices or non-binding price recommendations. Jakob Schlaepfer reserves the right to change prices at any time.

06. Financial Statements

Product range, prices and services, which are published under the homepage of Jakob Schlaepfer, constitute an offer. However, the contracts are always subject to the (dissolving) condition of being unable to deliver, or an incorrect price quotation by Jakob Schlaepfer.

As soon as the customer places an order online, by e-mail, on the telephone or in the shop, this applies as a business decision or conclusion of contract. An automatically generated order confirmation by e-mail informs the customer that their order has been received by Jakob Schlaepfer.

Receiving this automatically generated order confirmation with the order number, is not a guarantee that the product is actually available or can be delivered. The order confirmation only informs the customer that the order has been received by Jakob Schlaepfer. Thus, a contract has been set up, which can be dissolved in the event of non-delivery. The occurrence of one of the above dissolving conditions (impossibility of delivery or incorrect pricing) dissolves the contract immediately and without the participation of the parties.
