As part of the registration process, Users are asked to complete all compulsory fields; failing which registration cannot be completed.
Users guarantee and solemnly declare that all the information provided on the Site, in particular at the time of their registration or their order, is accurate and correct. They undertake to update their personal information on the dedicated page, available in their account.
All registered users have a user name and password. The latter are strictly personal and confidential and must in no case be communicated to third parties under penalty of deletion of the registered account of the infringing User. Every registered User shall be personally responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his or her username and password. The Company shall, in no case, be held liable for the misused identity of a User. If a User suspects fraud at any time, he or she should contact the Company without delay, so that the latter can take all necessary steps to address the situation.

Account deletion shall bring about definitive loss of all the benefits and services acquired on the Site. However, any Orders already having been placed and invoiced by the Site prior to deletion of the account, shall be carried out under normal conditions.
If an account is deleted by the Company due to a failure to comply with the duties and obligations set forth in the GTCSU, the infringing User shall be strictly prohibited from registering again on the Site directly, by using another email address or through a third party, without the Company’s specific permission.
5. Orders
All orders are payable in Swiss Francs.
Users may add Products to their shopping cart. They may access the order summary to confirm which Products they wish to order, prior to validating their Order.
They must supply an address, a delivery method and a valid payment method in order to finalise the Order and to effectively form the sales contract between themselves and the Company. Finalisation of the Order implies acceptance of the prices of the Products sold, as well as the methods and delivery times as indicated on the Site. Once an Order has been placed, the User shall receive email confirmation, sent to the email address he or she has supplied. This confirmation will provide an Order summary, as well as the relevant delivery information. Placing an Order constitutes the conclusion of a remote sales contract between the Company and the Customer.
The Company may provide the Customer with a reduction in price, rebate or discount for example, depending on the number of Products ordered or the frequency of Orders, under the terms established by the Company.
The Company may, as of right, and without justification, refuse any order or require full, advance payment, for example due to insolvency or past problems with a Customer.
6. Products and prices
The Products, the subject matter hereof, are those displayed on the Site and which are sold and potentially sent directly by the Company.
The Products are described on the corresponding page on the Site and all of their essential features are provided. Sales are valid while Company stocks last. The Company may not be held responsible for stock-outs or impossibility to sell a Product due to inexistant stock.
When a registered User wishes to purchase a Product sold by the Company via the Site, the price given on the Product page corresponds to the tax inclusive price, excluding delivery fees and takes into account any reductions applicable and in force on the day the Order was placed. The price given shall not include delivery fees which are provided, where appropriate, in the summary prior to placing the Order. If the total cost of the Products cannot be calculated in advance, the Company will send a detailed quotation to the Customer setting forth the price calculation.
In no case may a User request a reduction which is no longer in force on the day the Order was placed.
Products offered are those displayed on the Company website, while stocks last. The Company reserves the right to modify the product range at any time. Every product is presented on the website with a description setting out its main technical characteristics (capacity, use, composition, etc.). Photographs are as accurate as possible but shall not be contractually binding and are not binding on the Seller.
Furthermore, the Company shall not be held liable for damages resulting from improper use of a purchased product.
7. Payment terms
Depending on the nature and amount of the Order, the Company may request a deposit or payment in full when the Order is placed.
Payment can be made by:

- Payment application (PayPal, etc.)/li>
- Cheque (only available in certain countries)
- BVR : Payment slip (only available in certain countries)
- Bank transfer (Only for professionals)
Payment methods may vary from country to country, as well as the possibility of paying in instalments.
In the case of a partial or total failure to pay for the Products by the date stipulated on the invoice, Professional or Individual Customers shall pay the Company a penalty for late payment whose rate shall be equal to 1% per month of delay.
As well as the penalty for late payment, any amount, including the deposit, unpaid on its due date by Individual Customers shall produce, as of right, the payment of a fixed amount of 40 CHF by additional summation, due for recovery costs. In the event of prosecution, compensation of 150 CHF per order is payable in addition without further notice.
No compensation may be paid by the Customer between the penalties for late payment in the supply of Products ordered and amounts owed by the Customer to the Company for the purchase of Products offered on the Site.
The penalty owed by Professional and Individual Customers is calculated on the tax inclusive amount of the outstanding sum, and shall commence from the expiration date of the price, without the need for any prior formal notice.
8. Delivery
The Products are exclusively delivered within the geographic areas available on the Company Website.
The Company undertakes to make all material and human efforts to deliver the Products without undue delay. This timeframe may vary depending on the Customer’s geographic area, the delivery method chosen and the Product ordered.
If the delivery deadline has been exceeded by one month, except in cases of force majeure, Customers may request termination of the contract by registered letter or e-mail with acknowledgement of receipt, after directing the Company, according to the same terms, to make the delivery within a reasonable additional period.
In such a case, Customers will be reimbursed within 30 days if a payment has already been made.
Should the delivery prove impossible, due to an error in the address supplied by the Customer, the Company will contact the Customer as quickly as possible to obtain a new delivery address and any additional delivery costs shall be borne by the Customer.
Furthermore, the Company may not be held liable for reasons linked to a delay in delivery times:
- during periods of high demand, such as the Christmas holidays,
- for delays caused by force majeure, i.e., due to the occurrence of an unforeseen, unavoidable event, beyond its control,
- for reasons attributable exclusively to the transporter commissioned with the delivery.
The delivery is made, according to the Customer’s choice and the prices indicated on the Site: - by post to the address given by the Customer when the Order was placed.
- to one of the Company’s shops, selected by the Customer when placing the Order (option only available in certain countries).
- Ex-Works: to one of the Company’s depots. The products can then be picked up by professional Customers or their transporters, at a date agreed by the parties.

Express" or "Priority" deliveries, which require special handling, are not eligible and are always at full price, regardless of the order value.
