Applicability of the conditions

Offer and conclusion of contract

The offer is aimed at natural and legal persons. All offers on advertisements and price lists are non-binding.

Properties of the products offered may differ and are therefore only to be understood as guidelines unless they are expressly designated as binding. If a product is no longer available, koikichi.ch reserves the right to withdraw from the contract. Any payments made will of course be reimbursed.

Price

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

For deliveries abroad, additional costs related to transport, customs or similar may be incurred, which will be charged by koikichi.ch or the responsible body.

Koikichi.ch is eligible to request either a flat rate of 25% of the agreed purchase price or the reimbuirsement of the damage actually caused by the buyer as compensation.

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.
