1.  Applicability and scope

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter referred to as "GTCS") apply to all business relations between Foolfashion SA (hereinafter referred to as "Foolfashion SA", "we" or "the company") and the customer (hereinafter referred to as "the customer", "the buyer" or "you") concerning physical products (hereinafter referred to as "products" or "goods") and/or digital products (hereinafter referred to as "digital products") or both (hereinafter referred to as "products") purchased online via our website https://www.foolfashion.ch/en/ (hereinafterès dénameé "webshop" or "website").

The website and online store is operated by :

FOOLFASHION SA

Route Suisse, 26 in 1163 Etoy

CHE-173.836.199

Telephone: +41 21 808 01 11

E-mail: hello@foolfashion.ch

Individual agreements made with the customer take precedence over these GTC. No conflicting or deviating conditions on the part of the customer shall be recognized.

Foolfashion SA reserves the right to modify these GTC at any time. All changes take effect upon publication on the website. The decisive moment of applicability of the new GTC is the date of delivery of a firm order when purchasing one of our products.

Please read our terms and conditions carefully before placing a firm order. By placing a binding order for one or more of our products, you declare that you accept these general terms and conditions and the related privacy statement. You also declare that you are legally entitled to enter into binding contracts and that you are at least 18 years old.

2.  Conclusion of a sales contract

The presentation of the products in the online store does not represent a legally binding offer for which the seller is responsible, but merely a non-binding online catalog or an invitation to customers to place an order for one of our products in the online store. Foolfashion AG expressly reserves the right to make changes at any time and without prior notice to the products offered online and to the associated content, such as illustrations, product range, prices and descriptions. Images, representations, podcasts, brochures, advertising and any other information relating to our products are for information purposes only and are not binding on Foolfashion AG.

The customer can place a firm order for the products he has selected via our online store. The customer may also place the products he has selected in the "shopping basket" without this being considered a firm order. A firm order is considered to be any order that has been validly finalized, the last step being to click on the "Finalize order" button at the end of the order process. Prior to the final dispatch of an order, the customer may at any time change the data entered, identify any errors and rectify them if necessary.

An order confirmation will be sent immediately and automatically by e-mail to the customer. This confirmation e-mail contains your order details and the T&C that you accepted during the ordering process. The confirmation e-mail only serves to inform you that we have received your order. This automatic order confirmation does not yet constitute a sales contract. By placing an order, you confirm that you have read our terms and conditions and accept them without reservation. We recommend that you print out the terms and conditions and the order confirmation, or save them on your computer.

After you have placed a binding order, Foolfashion SA is free to accept it at its sole discretion or to refuse it by informing you by e-mail and declining all responsibility towards you or third parties. Any payment already made will be reimbursed upon cancellation of the order. Reasons for refusing an order may include, for example, the fact that a product is no longer available, that we have not received any proof of payment from the customer, or where there is reason to believe that the customer is acting fraudulently or in a manner that is criminally reprehensible in relation to the GTC or individual agreements, or for any other serious reason.

Once your order has been accepted, the sales contract becomes legally binding. Acceptance of the order is evidenced by the preparation of the digital or physical products.

Any commercial distribution or resale of our products is strictly prohibited.

3.  Availability and performance reserve for non-deliverable products

All information relating to product availability, shipment and delivery are general and indicative. They do not represent binding or guaranteed information. Any liability for unavailability of products is expressly excluded.

Our goods are available while stocks last. If Foolfashion SA becomes aware, during the processing of your order, that the products ordered are no longer available, you will be informed immediately. In this case, no sales contract can be concluded for products that cannot be delivered.

Our digital products are always available if they are offered in the online store. If Foolfashion AG becomes aware during the processing of your order that the digital products ordered are no longer available, you will be informed immediately. In this case, no sales contract can be concluded for products that cannot be delivered.

In addition, we reserve the right to limit the number of items that can be purchased by a customer. In this case, the customer will be informed by e-mail.

4.  Prices and shipping costs

Our products and prices correspond to those shown on the website. All prices are quoted in CHF (Swiss francs) and include the statutory value-added tax (VAT). The total price of your order, including all ancillary and shipping costs as well as the corresponding VAT in your country, appears at the end of the order process. Deliveries are only available within Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Foolfashion SA offers free delivery on orders of CHF 139.00 and over.

By placing a firm order, you declare that you accept the total price of the products ordered. Once you have placed a firm order, the price cannot be modified, except for shipping costs. In the case of packages weighing more than 10 kilos, an e-mail will be sent to you to adjust the shipping costs.

Foolfashion SA reserves the right to change prices at any time. Products will be invoiced at the price indicated at the time of the firm order.

5.  Terms of payment/Credit check

Orders are normally payable immediately.

The customer may use the means of payment indicated on the website or during the order process. These may vary from time to time and from country to country. In addition, we reserve the right not to offer certain methods of payment on a case-by-case basis and to offer others (depending on the customer's creditworthiness, in order to cover our credit risk). The customer expressly authorizes Foolfashion AG to carry out credit checks and to pass on any customer data to third parties for this purpose.

By choosing a payment method, the customer authorizes payment, either by providing credit card details or by communicating access data to a payment service provider. The customer authorizes Foolfashion SA to approve or receive payment by the chosen method. In the event of cancellation of debits, Foolfashion AG is entitled to reimbursement of the associated costs and bank charges. Furthermore, Foolfashion SA is not liable for any fees or other amounts that your credit card issuer or bank may charge you as a result of processing payment for your order.

If you pay using a credit card or an alternative payment method, we reserve the right to check your card's validity, limit and address details, and to ask the card issuer or payment service provider for authorization. In addition, you confirm that the credit card is valid and that the card details are correct. If payment is refused, Foolfashion SA reserves the right to cancel the order and suspend shipment of the goods. In this case, we will contact you immediately.

In the case of payment by invoice, the customer receives the invoice together with a payment slip when the goods are delivered, or by e-mail. Payment must be made using the payment slip attached to the invoice within the period indicated on the invoice. If payment is not made on time, Foolfashion SA is entitled to charge CHF 20.00 for each reminder, plus collection costs and interest on arrears as stipulated by law. If it appears necessary to take legal action, an additional amount of at least CHF 200.00 will be charged.

6.  Terms of delivery

Delivery is normally made via the Swiss Post AG delivery service. Foolfashion AG assumes the shipping costs for deliveries within Switzerland for orders over CHF 139. The desired delivery service can be selected online during the order process. Any resulting costs must be paid in advance by the customer.

Foolfashion SA is not liable for any loss of parcel during delivery or otherwise. Once your parcel has been handed over to Swiss Post AG, the carrier is fully responsible for the goods. In the event of loss or any other incident occurring during delivery, the customer must initiate proceedings with Swiss Post Ltd.

Products that you order from our online store and that we have in stock will be delivered to you within 2 to 5 working days after receipt of full payment. You can use [le numéro d’envoi] to track your order in real time.

When products are listed as being out of stock at the time of ordering, Foolfashion SA will endeavor to deliver them as soon as possible after restocking. Foolfashion SA will make every effort to meet the stated delivery times. However, Foolfashion AG is not responsible for delays in delivery, regardless of the cause. Should the delivery of your goods be delayed, we will inform you as soon as possible.

If delivery has still not been made [3] weeks after the initially agreed delivery date, the customer is entitled to cancel the order, except for special and/or customized orders. All other claims, in particular for damages, are excluded.

Order status: "Delivered" status indicates to the customer that the order has been processed at the Etoy logistics center.

Click&Collect: Click&Collect orders become delivered when the order is processed in Etoy. The delivery time is for the week following the order. (Ex: an order placed on a Tuesday will be processed by the click&collect center at +1 week) The click&collect center contacts the customer by telephone.

Cancellation is not accepted if the customer has not read the general terms and conditions of sale.
