Hereinafter referred to as "You";

ON THE OTHER PART.

ARTICLE 1. CONDITIONS FOR PLACING AN ORDER

1-1 Any person placing a private order on the Site declares that he or she is 18 years old and has the legal capacity or, failing that, parental authorisation to enter into a contract.

In the event that these conditions have not been respected in accordance with what is indicated in this contract and in order to resolve a possible dispute, We reserve the right to contact the legal guardian of this person directly. We shall therefore be entitled to demand payment of all orders placed by that person.

1-2 Any person placing an order for professional purposes on the Site declares that he/she is 18 years of age and has the legal capacity or, failing that, an authorisation from the company, organisation or any other related structure likely to employ him/her, allowing him/her to contract on his/her behalf.

In the event that these conditions have not been respected, in accordance with the clauses provided for in this contract and in order to resolve a possible dispute, we reserve the right to address ourselves directly to the person who has contracted this order and to demand payment from him/her on a personal basis, insofar as he/she has previously guaranteed us, by making the request to open an account, that he/she was authorised to contract in the name of his/her company or that of the company employing him/her.

ARTICLE 2. STAGES IN THE CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT
2-1 The information on the Site does not constitute an offer in the legal sense of the term, so that only the order placed between You and Us constitutes such an offer.

2-2 Any Internet user can read the general sales conditions on the Site. Consequently, any order implies Your full and complete acceptance, without exception or reservation, of the conditions set forth in this contract. These are also communicated to You during the validation process of each order, the registration of Your order being subject to their acceptance. Any person who has made a purchase on the Site therefore declares that he or she is fully aware of them and cannot deny this fact in the event of a dispute.

The general terms and conditions of sale in force at the time of the placing of each order are binding and may be subject to change.
In the event of a dispute, an amicable solution shall be sought and, failing that, any dispute of any kind whatsoever shall always be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the territory where ACCESSOIRES4X4.CH is domiciled and shall therefore be governed by Swiss law.
2-3 Upon acceptance of the general terms and conditions of sale and its validation, we will send you an e-mail confirming your order to the e-mail address you provided when creating your profile or during the ordering process. This e-mail constitutes our acceptance of Your order and thus forms the contract of sale between Us and You, governed by the general conditions of sale defined by this contract. We will then proceed to process it in accordance with the clauses of this contract.

ARTICLE 3. RETENTION OF TITLE
3-1 The items delivered to you will remain our property as long as you have not fulfilled your obligations to us and in particular the total amount of the invoice corresponding to the order you have placed on the site.

3-2 The responsibility for the risks of loss or destruction of these articles is however incumbent on you as soon as they are delivered, and this even if you are not yet the owner because you have not yet paid for them.

3-3 In the event of late payment, in accordance with the deadlines clearly specified on Your invoice attached to the items ordered at the time of their delivery, of their non-payment in spite of reminder(s) and in the event that no conciliation could be found, we reserve the right to demand from You that these items be expressly returned to us at your expense.

ARTICLE 4. PRICING POLICY
4-1 The prices displayed on the Site are expressed in Swiss francs CHF and in EUROS, including all taxes applicable in Switzerland, but excluding postage and packing. For all purchases outside of Switzerland, the prices will be expressed in Euros including VAT, calculated on the basis of European taxes according to the place of delivery of your order [Switzerland, Europe or in a country outside of Europe], excluding postage and packing costs.

4-2 The price displayed on the Site at the time of Your order is guaranteed, provided that it has not been modified (upwards or downwards) by the supplier between the previous order and Your order.

4-3 Due to the structure of the car accessories market in Switzerland and for reasons of commercial policy specific to each of our representatives, the price of a work may however vary from one representative to another. Consequently, it is quite possible that price differences, albeit minor, between the Site and other Accessoires4x4.ch sales outlets may be noted:

In the event that You have placed an order for car accessories on the Site with collection in a shop, You will consequently have to pay the amount of Your order, at the price indicated on the Site and which will be invoiced to You.
If, and only if, the accessory in question is the subject of a special promotion in that shop, You will be able to benefit from this discount on the basis of the price that will have been communicated to You beforehand on the Site and provided that this price has not already been the subject of any special promotion.
No quantity or special discount [student discount, discount for the personnel of member companies or those who have an agreement with Accessoires4x4.ch] will be granted on the site, as these are applicable exclusively in our shops and upon presentation of the documents attesting that you are entitled to them.
ARTICLE 5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY TIMES
5-1

Deliveries are only made according to availability and in the order in which orders are received. The seller is authorised to make deliveries in whole or in part.

Delivery times are indicated as accurately as possible but are subject to the seller's supply and transport possibilities.

Exceeding the delivery period shall not give rise to any compensation, deduction or cancellation of orders in progress.

However, if 3 months after the indicative delivery date the product has not been delivered, for any other reason than force majeure, the sale may be cancelled at the request of either party; the purchaser may obtain the return of his deposit to the exclusion of any compensation or damages.

The following are considered to be cases of force majeure which relieve the seller of his obligation to deliver: war, riots, fire, strikes, accidents, and the impossibility for the seller to obtain supplies.

The seller shall inform the buyer in good time of the cases and events listed above.

In any event, delivery within the time limits may only take place if the buyer is up to date with his obligations towards the seller, whatever the cause.

5-2 In the case of a multi-item order, you can choose the delivery option you prefer: a grouped delivery of all the items in your order or an ungrouped delivery of the items available at the time of your order separately from the items available later.

5-3 However, despite all the precautions we take with our suppliers to have the most accurate information possible about the availability of the items we offer, it may happen that one or other of them, deemed to be available at the time of your order, is finally unavailable, and we will inform you of this:

In the event that the item is temporarily unavailable, we will consider that your order is still valid until we are able to fulfil it. However, if the supply times for the items that make up Your order are not guaranteed by Our suppliers and it therefore appears impossible for Us to deliver them to You as soon as possible, We reserve the right not to proceed with the order and to ask You to re-submit it at a later date.
In the event of permanent unavailability [out of stock, no longer available, etc.] of the items that make up Your order, we shall be obliged to cancel it. Our shops may then make a recommendation of an article of equivalent quality and price that you are free to accept or decline.

5.4. Risks
The products are deliverable carriage paid by the purchaser or against reimbursement at the agreed place; in all cases, they travel at the risk of the recipient, who is responsible, in the event of damage or shortage, for making all necessary observations and confirming his reservations by extrajudicial act or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the carrier, within three days of receiving the goods.

ARTICLE 6. DELIVERY METHODS
6-1 Delivery options
On the Site, you can choose between the following three options for the delivery of physical products:

Grouped delivery of all the items in the order
The grouped delivery corresponds to a single delivery of all the items in your order, regardless of their respective availability at the time your order is registered.

In the case of grouped delivery, our order processing department will store the available items for you until the other items in Your order are received from our suppliers and we are able to ship them to You at one time.

This delivery option is selected by default during the checkout process. If You prefer to opt for unbundled delivery, You can easily change the default option at this stage to the one that suits You best depending on the urgency of Your order.

Unbundled delivery of items available at the time of order and then of items available later
Unbundled delivery is possible for any order of several items.

It allows You to receive quickly, according to the delivery method that you will have chosen, the accessories that We have in stock and then, in a second time and as we receive them from our suppliers, the other accessories of your order until you have been delivered of all the items of your order.

6-2 Delivery methods for orders
On the Site, we offer two shipping methods depending on the weight: Economy Shipping up to 30 kgs, above 30 kgs shipping via courier depending on the cost of postage and packaging they induce and the urgency of Your order.
