presents the customer with a non-binding invitation to order products and/or services or to make use of consulting services.
By placing an order via
www.menetsattel.ch
, whether by telephone or in writing, which includes accepting these Terms, the customer submits a
legally binding offer to conclude a contract. When an order is placed via the online shop, Menetsattel sends an automatic "order confirmation"
by email, which acknowledges that the customer’s purchase offer has been received by Menetsattel. Orders that have been placed are binding for the customer.
The contract for a purchase of goods is concluded as soon as Menetsattel sends a written declaration of acceptance (by email, post or fax), in which the
dispatch of the ordered products or services is confirmed or if Menetsattel verbally confirms the order and in addition the entire purchase price has been paid by the customer.
The contract for the purchase of a saddle is concluded as soon as Menetsattel confirms the customer’s order orally or in writing (by e-mail, post or fax).
If it turns out after conclusion of the contract that the ordered goods cannot be delivered or cannot be delivered completely, Menetsattel is entitled
to withdraw from the entire contract or from a part of the contract. If the customer’s payment has already been received by Menetsattel, the payment will
be refunded to the customer. If payment has not yet been made, the customer is released from obligation to pay. When a contract is cancelled in this way,
Menetsattel is not obligated to make a substitute delivery.
The contract for a consulting service is concluded as soon as Menetsattel expressly declares acceptance of the order to the customer.
5. Payment possibilities
When purchasing goods the customer has a choice of payment options, as listed by Menetsattel.
Menetsattel reserves the right to demand payment in advance or a deposit or advance payment as well as to exclude customers from individual payment options without stating reasons.

per reminder and/or withdraw from the contract and/or refuse any further deliveries of goods or services.
6. Delivery, verification, notification of defects and return of goods
All stated delivery times and delivery deadlines are without guarantee.
Saddles ordered are delivered personally and are measured up and adjusted on site.
Other shipments are sent by mail or courier service to the address indicated by the customer
in the order. Upon dispatch, the benefit and risk are transferred to the customer, insofar as this is legally permissible.
If the shipment cannot be delivered or if the customer refuses to accept the delivery, Menetsattel can dissolve the contract
after notifying the customer by e-mail and after fixing a time limit, also charge the costs incurred in the process.
The customer is obliged to check the delivered goods immediately upon receipt of the shipment and to notify Menetsattel
immediately in writing by letter or e-mail of any defects for which Menetsattel provides a warranty.
Goods are returned to Menetsattel at the customer’s expense and risk. The customer must send the goods to Menetsattel
in the original packaging, complete with all accessories and together with the delivery note and a detailed description of the defects.
If the inspection by Menetsattel shows that the goods have no detectable defects or that they are not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty, Menetsattel may charge the customer for the work involved, as well as the cost of returning the goods to the customer or disposing of them.
7. Right of cancellation in the case of purchased goods
The customer is granted a right of cancellation for seven calendar days after receipt of the goods. The deadline is considered to have
been met if the customer returns the goods to Menetsattel within this period. The cancellation does not require a reason.
The exercise of the right of cancellation leads to a reversal of the contract. The customer must return the goods in their
original packaging, unopened and complete with all accessories and together with the delivery note. Returns to Menetsattel
are at the expense and risk of the customer. Any payment already made (excluding shipping costs) will be refunded to the
customer, if Menetsattel has already received the goods back or the customer provides proof that they have returned the goods.
Menetsattel reserves the right to demand appropriate compensation for damage, excessive wear and tear or loss of value due
to improper handling and to deduct this loss in value from amount refunded or to charge it to the customer.
No right of cancellation is granted if the contract concerns an item which is produced according to the customer’s
specifications or is clearly tailored to personal needs (e.g. all saddles).

the warranty for functionality and freedom from defects of the item purchased by the customer throughout the legal warranty
period of two years from the delivery date. It is at Menetsattel’s discretion to fulfil the warranty by repair without charge,
by replacement by an item of equal value or by refund of the purchase price. Further claims are excluded.
