General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

§1 Language
Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

§2 Validity of Conditions
All deliveries, services and quotations provided by PET TRACER AG are subject to these terms and conditions, even if these are not expressly agreed upon for all future business relations. By ordering goods, these terms and conditions are deemed to be accepted. General purchasing conditions of the buyer are herewith declared void. Alterations to these terms and conditions are only effective if we confirm these in writing.

§3 Offer and Contract Conclusion
Quotations by PET TRACER AG in price lists and advertisements are subject to confirmation. PET TRACER AG will accept orders as legally binding only after receipt of full payment and written confirmation by PET TRACER AG. All information provided in our sales documents (drawings, illustrations, measurements, weights and other services) are for information purposes only and don't represent a warranty of characteristics unless these are expressly declared to in writing.

§4 Form of Communication
Usually, the ordering process and communications are affected by email and an automated ordering process. The customer has to ensure the provision of a correct email address for the ordering process to allow for the receipt of emails from PET TRACER AG under this address. In particular with the use of spam filters, the customer has to ensure that all emails sent by the salesperson or a third party, assigned to handle the ordering process, can be delivered.

§5 Service Charges
To operate the product "petTracer GPS Cat Collar", a subscription to PET TRACER AG is required.

§6 Prices
The prices specified in our order confirmation are binding. Prices are understood to be exclusive of all transport costs but inclusive statutory value-added tax unless agreed otherwise. If necessary, additional delivery and shipping costs are indicated separately within the respective product description. Any deliveries to countries outside of Switzerland may incur additional costs, which are outside of the responsibility of PET TRACER AG and payable by the customer. This includes, among other instances, bank charges arising from the money transfer (e. g. transfer fees, foreign exchange fees), or import taxes and/or duties (e. g. customs duties). Such costs may also arise with deliveries performed within Switzerland, where the customer, however, provides payment from a country outside of Switzerland.

§7 Terms of Payment
Invoices are payable net within 5 working days via PayPal or bank credit transfer, unless agreed otherwise. The delivery is not free, i.e. at the expense of the buyer by parcel post, unless expressly agreed otherwise. A payment is considered to be effective once PET TRACER AG has full access to the funds. Cheques are not accepted. If the buyer is in payment default, PET TRACER AG cannot guarantee the allocation to the appropriate production lot any longer. Deliveries take place upon receipt of payment. The production runs are limited, and any excess in ordering is distributed automatically in the order of arrival to the next available production run. During the period of the default, PET TRACER AG is entitled to withdraw from the contract at any time.

§8 Time of Delivery and Service
Dates and delivery deadlines are noncommittal unless expressly agreed upon in writing. The indication of certain delivery deadlines and delivery dates by PET TRACER AG is subject to the correct and punctual delivery to PET TRACER AG by its suppliers and manufacturers.

§9 Default in Acceptance
If the buyer refuses the acceptance of the goods at the time of delivery or after the expiration of an extension period, or if he states that he does not wish to accept the goods, PET TRACER AG reserves the right to refuse the fulfillment of the contract and claim damages for non-fulfillment. PET TRACER AG is entitled to claim compensation for damages from the buyer, either in form of a flat rate of 25% of the agreed purchase price or replacement of the effective damage.

§11 Transfer of Risk
The risk will pass to the buyer as soon as the shipment is handed over to the person executing the transport. In the event that the delivery is delayed or impossible for reasons beyond our control, the risk is transferred to the customer with the notification that the shipment is ready for dispatch. An assumption of the transport costs by PET TRACER AG, as agreed on an ad hoc basis, shall not have any effect on the transfer of the risk.

§12 Warranty Terms and Conditions
With the consent to the terms and conditions, the customer confirms to have read and accepted the separate warranty conditions. You can find the separate warranty conditions here: Warranty Conditions
