Validity

The general terms and conditions apply to all sales and delivery transactions of WW Brandschutzfronten GmbH, unless a different individual agreement has been expressly made in writing in which the buyer's terms and conditions take precedence.

Conclusion, content and form of the purchase contract

The contract is concluded by the buyer's binding order, which is answered by the seller with an order confirmation. This confirmation is considered binding unless the buyer objects in writing within three days. A withdrawal of the buyer after conclusion of the contract can be associated with costs, in particular from the time of the provision of goods for shipment. Orders and confirmations can be made in writing, by telephone or by e-mail.

Prices and price changes

Unless otherwise stated, prices are exclusive of VAT, packaging and shipping costs (as well as duty unpaid transport abroad). The price calculation is based on the seller's confirmation date. After the contract has been concluded, official orders or circumstances that have arisen retrospectively may result in an appropriate adjustment of the purchase price, without the buyer having the right to withdraw from the contract.

Place of performance and transport

The place of performance is the registered office of the seller. The buyer bears all costs for transporting the purchased item to another location, including packaging, shipping and applicable fees. Deliveries are made at the expense and risk of the buyer, unless otherwise agreed.

Transfer of benefits and risks

Unless otherwise agreed, benefits and risks pass to the buyer at the latest when the goods leave the factory.

Delivery times and quantities

The delivery times stated in the order confirmation indicate the approximate period and only start after receipt of the advance payments, securities and clarification of significant additional technical requirements.

Right of withdrawal

The seller is released from his obligation to perform if delivery becomes impossible due to unforeseen circumstances. In the event of delay due to force majeure or similar events, the seller may withdraw from the contract without the buyer being entitled to claim damages.

Terms of payment and default in payment

Payment must be made within 10 days of receipt of the goods without discount, unless otherwise agreed in writing. In the event of late payment, the seller may charge default interest of 8% and further damages. In the event of default, the seller reserves the right to demand immediate payment of all claims against the buyer, to consider discounts granted on outstanding invoices as lapsed and to cancel orders for goods not yet delivered, without the buyer being entitled to compensation or damages. Costs for intermediate storage of the goods shall be borne by the buyer.

Default of acceptance

If the buyer does not accept the goods, he must still pay the purchase price. The payment period begins from the unsuccessful delivery attempt. Storage costs and interest losses are charged to the buyer. In the event of default of acceptance, Articles 91 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) shall apply.

Retention of title

The delivered goods remain the property of the seller until the buyer has fulfilled all contractual obligations. The seller can have the retention of title entered in the register. The buyer must store the goods separately and insure them adequately. In the event of default in payment, the seller can withdraw from the contract and reclaim the goods.

Complaints and warranty

The goods must be checked for completeness and quality immediately upon receipt. Note any transport damage and have it confirmed by the carrier. Report any defects in writing within one day. Defects do not entitle the customer to refuse acceptance or payment. The buyer is responsible for proper storage. Complaints about discrepancies with the invoice must be made within four days. Warranty claims up to the value of the goods in question. Samples provided are type samples.

Return shipments

Our fire protection fronts are custom-made products and cannot be returned. Unauthorised returns do not release the buyer from paying the agreed price. We reserve the right to charge the customer a processing fee for returns.

Supplementary terms and conditions

The delivery conditions, processing instructions and warranty exclusions in our current documentation also apply.

Applicable law/place of jurisdiction

All our business relationships are subject to Swiss substantive law, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction is 5600 Lenzburg.
