General Terms and Conditions of Sale<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Scope
These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all contracts for deliveries and other services, as well as contracts for work and services for productions and construction orders with Vertical Technik AG, Frenkendorf (VTAG). Other agreements, in particular other GTC, are only legally valid if they are acknowledged in writing by VTAG as an integral part of the contract. <\/p>\n

These GTC form an integral part of the individual contractual relationship between VTAG and the buyer. These GTC were provided or made accessible to the buyer prior to signing the contract, and the buyer fully acknowledges them by entering into the purchase agreement. <\/p>\n

Offers\/Quotations
VTAG\u2019s offers are non-binding. Information on dimensions and weights are approximate values customary in the company and the industry. Changes to products and services are reserved. <\/p>\n

Unfair competition
It is not permitted to use specific information from a VTAG quotation to obtain further quotations from competitors. This applies in particular to submitted documents such as the quotation itself or any plans, sketches, calculations, or execution proposals contained therein. This information may neither be shown nor handed over to third parties, nor otherwise made accessible to them. <\/p>\n

Conclusion of contract
The contract is concluded upon the buyer\u2019s acceptance of the quotation. VTAG confirms this by sending a written order confirmation. If the order confirmation does not correspond to the buyer\u2019s intention, the buyer must object within 5 working days of receipt; otherwise, the order confirmation shall be deemed accepted. <\/p>\n

Delivery times
Delivery times must be requested from VTAG or are stated in the quotation and\/or order confirmation. For larger orders, VTAG is entitled to make partial deliveries. <\/p>\n

Construction deadlines
Construction deadlines stated in the quotation correspond to the average expected effort and duration estimated based on planning or an on-site inspection. Schedule delays do not entitle the buyer to withdraw from the contract or claim damages. Delays will be communicated to the buyer as soon as they become apparent. Unless the start of work has been fixed as binding, it depends on the availability of skilled personnel and equipment. <\/p>\n

Buyer\u2019s obligations
The buyer is responsible for ensuring that, by the agreed start of construction, all necessary permits, plans, drawings, clarifications, etc. are available or have been obtained. VTAG may assume the existence of these documents and permits without explicit verification. Delays caused by the absence of such documents or permits will be invoiced separately. Additional costs depend on the number of workers and on storage, travel, and transport costs. A 230V\/380V power connection as well as a water connection must be provided by the buyer free of charge. <\/p>\n

Transport
Any agreed transport services are listed separately in the quotation and\/or order confirmation. Loading the goods on VTAG\u2019s factory premises in CH-4402 Frenkendorf is included in the prices. Transport costs, customs clearance and transport insurance, as well as unloading costs at the destination, are borne by the buyer. <\/p>\n

Force majeure
Delays due to force majeure release VTAG from its obligations. Any additional effort will be invoiced at a reasonable rate. <\/p>\n

Defects
Where possible, defects will be remedied by VTAG through rectification. Withdrawal from the contract (rescission) is excluded in all cases. <\/p>\n

Warranty and damages
VTAG grants a warranty of 24 months from the delivery date on the workmanship of the materials used by VTAG. If a maintenance contract starting on the acceptance date is concluded, the warranty period granted is 60 months. <\/p>\n

Excluded from the warranty are modifications by the buyer or third parties, normal wear and tear, improper handling, use of force, vandalism, and insufficient maintenance.<\/p>\n

Warranty obligations are not triggered by minor deviations from the agreed condition that are insignificant for the value and usability of the equipment. Wear parts, as well as products that the customer has assembled in part or in full, are also excluded from warranty coverage. <\/p>\n

VTAG\u2019s warranty services relate to replacement of the value of the goods, but not to labor and ancillary costs (disassembly, assembly, travel, transport, expenses). In cases where the buyer was involved in the installation in whole or in part, warranty services are limited to the services provided by VTAG itself. Repair work on equipment or systems not manufactured by VTAG is also excluded from the warranty. <\/p>\n

If the customer requires construction warranty insurance, a bank or insurance guarantee for 2 years (warranty period) or for any other period, the associated costs shall be borne by the customer.<\/p>\n

Liability
VTAG is only liable for wilful misconduct and gross negligence. In particular, there is no liability for lost success due to late delivery and completion or construction delays. The limitation of liability also applies to the conduct of VTAG\u2019s employees and auxiliary persons. <\/p>\n

If VTAG performs work according to customer drawings and plans, VTAG is liable only for correct implementation in accordance with those documents, but not for the correctness or suitability of the plans and drawings. Any further liability and claims for damages for any delays or lost profits are excluded. <\/p>\n

Accidents
VTAG assumes no liability for accidents arising in connection with the operation of products from VTAG\u2019s production. It is the operator\u2019s responsibility to ensure appropriate safety precautions and to ensure the maintenance of the facilities. If customer-side helpers are involved, the buyer is responsible for insuring these helpers. <\/p>\n

Prices
For orders from the catalogue or online shop, VTAG reserves the right to invoice the prices valid on the day of the order. Prices according to quotations are valid for 30 days. Prior sale, prior rental, or unexpected raw material price changes are reserved. Prices are in Swiss francs excluding statutory VAT. <\/p>\n

Unforeseeable circumstances
VTAG is entitled to invoice additional effort that was not known and could not have been known at the time the quotation was prepared. If the expected additional effort exceeds the quoted costs, VTAG will inform the buyer of the additional costs as soon as this becomes apparent. Additional effort will be invoiced at VTAG\u2019s agreed hourly rate per person and hour. <\/p>\n

Payment terms
All VTAG prices are non-binding EXW CH-4402 Frenkendorf. List prices do not include installation and transport costs. The order amount is due net within 30 days of performance or according to the terms stated in the quotation. <\/p>\n

For deliveries to private individuals, associations, and abroad, unless otherwise stated, the full order total will be invoiced in advance and is due for payment.<\/p>\n

Cash discount and discount
Cash discounts & discount deductions are granted only by written agreement. Unauthorised deductions will be charged subsequently. <\/p>\n

Late payment
In the event of late payment, default interest of 6% or the statutory interest rate is due from the due date. Reminder fees are CHF 50 per reminder. <\/p>\n

Retention of title & right of retention
The delivered goods remain the property of VTAG until paid in full. In the event of additional effort (e.g. return transports), costs will be invoiced according to effort. <\/p>\n

Conditions
Specific terms are required for different business areas and are defined in the form of conditions. These conditions take precedence over the GTC in all cases. <\/p>\n

Applicable Law & Jurisdiction
The legal relationship is subject to Swiss law. In international transactions, the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is not applicable. However, VTAG reserves the right to sue the buyer at their place of residence.<\/p>\n

Place of jurisdiction is 4410 Liestal<\/p>\n
