General terms and conditions
18. September 2019

1. Scope

​

The General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTCs") apply to all orders placed via the Patike GmbH online shop (hereinafter referred to as "patike.ch") and all contracts concluded (hereinafter referred to as "orders").

 

Patike.ch reserves the right to change the GTCs. The valid version of the GTCs at the time of placing the order shall apply. It may not be amended unilaterally for the relevant order.

 

2. Offers

​

Offers are valid for only as long as they appear on the online shop and/or while stocks last. Patike.ch may change its prices and product range at any time. The images used in advertising media, brochures, on the online shop, etc. as well as all information about the products themselves are for illustrative purposes only and are non-binding. Only the specific information displayed on the product packaging shall apply.

 

3. Pricing

​

Prices are displayed in Swiss francs and include value-added tax (VAT).

 

The prices stated on the online shop at the time of placing an order shall apply.

 

Orders placed for additional products or services subject to charge, e.g. delivery, are listed separately in the shopping cart and on the invoice.

 

4. Ordering

​

The presentation of products on the online shop shall not constitute a legally binding proposal but rather a non-binding online catalog or non-binding invitation to customers to order a given product on the online shop. Patike.ch reserves the right to limit the delivery quantities of specific products and not to deliver orders involving exceptionally heavy or bulky products.

 

Placing an order shall constitute an offer to enter into a contract with Patike.ch.

 

Following placement of the order, the customer is automatically issued with a confirmation by Patike.ch, documenting receipt of the order. Customers may cancel or add to their order only until order processing commences at one of our logistics centers. Additions to orders are calculated on the basis of the original order value. Any special offers and discounts applicable at the time of the addition are taken into account.

 

Patike.ch may reject an order, either in its entirety or in part, without stating the grounds. In such cases, Patike.ch will inform its customers accordingly and refund any payments already made. No other claims shall be accepted. In particular, undeliverable products will not be delivered at a later date. Temporarily unavailable products cannot be pre-ordered.

 

5. Conclusion of a contract

​

A contract shall be deemed to be concluded when the order is processed at a Patike.ch logistics center. Customers will receive an order confirmation by e-mail as soon as the relevant order is ready for dispatch.

 

6. Delivery

​

Available delivery slots are displayed on the online shop and can be selected by the customer for delivery of the respective order. It is not possible to set a precise delivery time within a given delivery slot. Delays may occur and specific delivery dates may be blocked, especially on peak days with unusually high delivery volumes. Customers will not be entitled to claim damages or make any other claims in relation to this.

 

Deliveries cannot be made on Sundays or national or cantonal holidays.

 

If the customer is not present at the delivery address at the time of delivery and has not given any special delivery instructions, the delivery will be left at the front door of the apartment/house or the reception/entrance of the company. Depending on the delivery time frame, orders may also be delivered to a neighbor living in the same building if this neighbor's address and telephone number were entered in the customer's account under "optional details" before the order was placed. If the customer's letterbox is part of a letterbox system, delivery staff will place a collection notification in the customer's letterbox. The customer will then be required to collect the delivery at the specified post office.

 

Customers will be responsible for delivered products, even if they have not been received in person by the customer.

 

Delivery costs

The cost of delivery depends on the total value of the ordered products (minimum purchase value excluding delivery charges, deposits and credits). The cost of delivery stated on the online shop and delivery cost guidelines apply. Delivery costs are listed separately in the shopping cart and on the invoice.

 

7. Warranty

​

Patike GmbH guarantees the quality and shelf-life of its products under the following conditions:

 

Patike.ch can fulfill its guarantee through either partial or complete replacement by an equivalent product, a reduction in price or by issuing a credit note up to the sales price applicable at the time of the order.

 

Customers do not have a general right to return fault-free products that are delivered properly. Warranty claims are explicitly excluded for products whose intrinsic quality (for instance, their taste quality) does not meet the customer's expectations and for products ordered by mistake.

 

8. Complaints

​

Should delivered products exhibit clear damage to their packaging or contents, the customer must, without prejudice to his/her warranty rights, immediately complain to the delivery staff and refuse acceptance thereof. Customers are obliged to ensure that delivery staff issue a damage confirmation notification. Any transport-related damage must also be reported to Patike.ch immediately.

 

Customers are also obliged to check ordered products immediately upon delivery and store them correctly. Any defects to or deviations from an order must be reported to the Patike.ch customer care service of the day of delivery, by sending an e-mail to info@patike.ch. Thereafter, customers may only claim for hidden defects that must be reported to the customer care service of Patike.ch immediately upon discovery. The amount paid by customers for defective goods is credited to their account. Patike.ch reserves the right to request proof of defects.

 

9.Modes of payment

​

Payments must be made in Swiss francs.

 

Electronic payment

Customers may pay using credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) PayPal, Twint or a debit card. When paying by credit card or debit card, the amount is charged after the order has been processed at the Patike.ch logistics center.

 

Purchase on account

Refunds, credits and vouchers

If a customer is entitled to a refund or other or credit, the relevant amount is credited to the relevant customer account and can be used for purchases at Patike.ch.
