Part A — General Provisions

1. Scope

These GTC apply to all purchase contracts concluded via the online shops of Badertscher Tool AG.

The buyer's own general terms and conditions do not form part of the contract.

Badertscher Tool AG distinguishes between private customers and commercial customers.

2. Formation of Contract

The presentation of products in the online shop does not constitute a binding offer but an invitation to order.

By submitting an order, the buyer makes a binding purchase offer. The contract is concluded with the order confirmation by email or at the latest with delivery.

The seller reserves the right to decline orders without stating reasons.

3. Prices & Payment

All prices are in Swiss francs (CHF) including VAT. Shipping costs are shown separately.

Payment is made via the payment methods available in the shop.

In the event of default, default interest pursuant to Art. 104 CO is due.

4. Delivery & Shipping

Badertscher Tool AG delivers exclusively to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

For orders of CHF 500.– or more, delivery is free of charge. Below this amount, a shipping fee is charged.

Deliveries are generally made by DHL. Items 30 kg+ by truck. Risk passes to the buyer on handover to the carrier.

5. Retention of Title

The delivered goods remain the property of Badertscher Tool AG until full payment of the purchase price.

Part B — Voluntary Right of Return
