3.5. The Customer’s order is deemed to be an offer to the Seller to purchase the Products ordered. The e-mail sent by the Seller upon receipt of the order and containing a summary of the same, does only constitute a mere acknowledgment by the Seller that the order has been received. The contract is considered to be concluded once the Customer receives a formal order and dispatch confirmation by e-mail, which should occur within forty-eight (48) hours from the receipt of the order by the Seller. This confirmation e-mail constitutes the Seller’s acceptance of the Customer’s order and the Seller shall be bound to sell and deliver the Products.

4.1 The retail prices of the products (hereinafter “Retail Price”) shown on the Website shall be expressed in CHF. The Website shall clearly indicate the Retail Prices for each product and the way to calculate the total price of the purchase. The total price of the purchase (hereinafter “Final Price”) will consist of the sum of the Retail Price and the cost of dispatch and delivery of the products by couriers and/or carriers engaged by the Seller. The Customer acknowledges to be aware that by confirming the purchase order he/she will be bound to pay the Final Price once the order is confirmed by the Seller.

4.2 The Retail Prices and Final Prices are inclusive of VAT and any other applicable taxes.

If, with the exception of promotional sales, the actual Retail Price, i.e. the price the Seller has decided to charge for a specific Product, is higher than the Retail Price shown on the Website, the Seller will contact the Customer to inquire whether the Customer wants to purchase the Product at the correct Retail Price. If the actual Retail Price is lower than the Retail Price on the Website, only the lesser amount will be charged and the Product(s) will be delivered.

5. AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

5.1 The Seller shall use its best endeavours to keep the Website as updated as possible with regard to the availability of Products and shall check, before sending the formal confirmation pursuant to art. 3.5, the availability of the selected Product(s). The Customer expressly recognizes the option of the Seller to only partially confirm the order, since it may, nonetheless, occur that some or all of the selected Product(s) ordered by the Customer are not available. In that case, the contract will only be concluded for the Product(s) actually available and confirmed.

5.2 Should some or all Product(s) ordered be unavailable, regardless of whether the Customer’s order has been already confirmed, the Seller shall without delay contact the Customer and only the available Products will be delivered. The Retail Price for the unavailable Products will not be charged.

6.1 Without prejudicing the Seller’s rights to allow and implement other methods of payment in the future to offer an even higher level of service to users of the Website, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that he/she may currently only pay:

a) Payment with invoice, sent with the products. In case of purchase on invoice, the purchase price is due on the day the customer receives the delivery. If the payment is not done within 30days after the delivery, the Customer shall be in default. In this case, the Seller reserves the right to charge the customer a reminder fee in addition to the invoice amount. Although no fee is charged for the first reminder, the fee for the second reminder is CHF 10.00 and CHF 14.00 for the third reminder. The unpaid amount of the invoice (including interest on arrears and reminder costs) may be assigned or sold for collection.
