If provisions of additional agreements conflict with provisions of these Terms, the provisions of those additional agreements take precedence.

2. Binding nature

By registering on, accessing, or otherwise using this website, you agree to the conditions set out below. Merely using this website implies knowledge and acceptance of these Terms & Conditions. In certain special cases, we may also ask for your express consent.

3. Electronic communication

By using this website or communicating with us electronically, you agree and acknowledge that we may communicate with you electronically on our website or by email, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement, including the requirement that such communications be in writing.

4. Intellectual property

We or our licensors own and control all copyright and other intellectual property rights on the website and the data, information, and other resources displayed on or accessible through the website.

Unless otherwise stated, no licence or other right under copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property rights is granted to you. This means you may not use, copy, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, embed in any electronic medium, alter, reverse engineer, decompile, transfer, download, transmit, monetise, sell, market, or commercialise resources from this website in any form without our prior written permission, unless mandatory statutory provisions (such as the right to quote) provide otherwise.

5. Third-party property

Our website may contain hyperlinks or other references to websites of other parties. We do not monitor or review the content of other parties' websites linked from this website. Products or services offered by other websites are subject to the terms and conditions of those third parties. Opinions or materials expressed on those websites are not necessarily shared or endorsed by us.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. You bear all risks associated with using those websites and related third-party services. We accept no responsibility for any loss or damage of any kind arising from your disclosure of personal data to third parties.

6. Responsible use

By visiting our website, you agree to use it only for its intended purposes and within the scope of these terms, any additional agreements with us, and applicable laws, regulations, and generally accepted online practices and industry guidelines. You may not use our website or services to use, publish, or distribute material consisting of (or linked to) malicious computer software; you may not use data collected from our website for direct marketing activities or conduct systematic or automated data collection activities on or in relation to our website.

Participation in activities that cause or may cause damage to the website or impair its performance, availability, or accessibility is strictly prohibited.

7. Refund and return rights

7.1 Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period expires 14 days after the day of conclusion of the contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax, or email). Our contact details are set out below. You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.

If you use this option, we will promptly send you confirmation of receipt of such withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by email).

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

7.2 Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will use the same means of payment as you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged fees for such reimbursement.

If you requested that services begin during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount proportionate to what has been provided until you communicated your withdrawal from this contract, in comparison with the full scope of the contract.

Please note that there are certain statutory exceptions to the right of withdrawal and therefore some items cannot be returned or exchanged. We will inform you if this applies in your particular case.

8. Idea submission

Do not submit ideas, inventions, works, or other information that may be regarded as your own intellectual property and that you wish to present to us unless we have previously signed an intellectual property agreement or confidentiality agreement. If you provide your content to us without such written consent, you grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, store, adapt, publish, translate, and distribute your content in all existing or future media.

9. Termination of use

We may, at our sole discretion, temporarily or permanently modify or discontinue access to the website or any service on it. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or termination of your access to or use of the website or content you have shared on the website. You have no claim to compensation or other payment, even if certain features, settings, and/or content to which you contributed or on which you relied are permanently lost. You may not circumvent or attempt to circumvent any access restriction measures on our website.

Unless expressly provided otherwise in an additional agreement, our maximum liability to you for all damages arising from or in connection with the website or products and services marketed or sold through the website, regardless of the legal theory imposing liability (whether in contract, equity, negligence, intentional conduct, tort, or otherwise), is limited to CHF 100.

15. Force majeure

Except for payment obligations, a delay, failure, or omission by a party in performing or complying with any of its obligations under this agreement shall not constitute a breach of these Terms & Conditions if and for so long as such delay, failure, or omission arises from a cause beyond that party's reasonable control.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your breach of these terms and applicable laws, including intellectual property rights and data protection rights. You shall promptly indemnify us for our damages, losses, costs, and expenses arising from such claims.

17. Waiver

Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms & Conditions or any agreement, or failure to exercise a termination option, shall not constitute a waiver of those provisions and shall not affect the validity of these Terms & Conditions or any such agreement or any part thereof, or the right thereafter to enforce each individual provision.
