Offer and conclusion of contract
The offer is aimed at natural and legal persons. All offers on advertisements and price lists are non-binding. An order is only binding for koikichi.ch when it is confirmed in written form by koikichi.ch. Properties of the products offered may differ and are therefore only to be understood as guidelines unless they are expressly designated as binding.

Price
The prices are in Swiss Francs, including VAT and, if applicable, including an early recycling fee ("vRG").

Payment
Payment must be made within 10 days of the order unless otherwise noted. The delivery is fundamentally at the expense of the buyer, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
