Article 1 : Context

Welcome to our website www.alpaderm.com

You are using the online sales service of Alpaderm SARL (hereafter called “Vendor” or “Alpaderm”), a Swiss company based in Ardon, registered with the Swiss trade registry under license number CH-626.4.009.486-4.

The present General Terms of Sale is systematically displayed to every buyer (hereafter called “Buyer”) before continuing with the product ordering process on the Alpaderm Internet site.

The Customer, before ordering, declares to be bound in full legal capacity to the General Terms of Sale.

Any access, subsequent use or any order of one or more products on the Alpaderm website shall imply the Customer’s express and full compliance, without reserve, to the contents of the General Terms of Sale, which supersedes all other documents, such as, but not limited to, brochures and catalogues transmitted by the Vendor, which are for information purposes only. Acceptance of these General Terms of Sale shall have the same legal force and effect as the Buyer’s written signature.

By ordering products via this site, you confirm that you fully and unconditionally accept the General Terms of Sale.

The vendor is thus not obligated to take into account any contradicting conditions pointed out by the buyer, unless explicitly accepted by the vendor, regardless of when said contradicting conditions are brought to the vendor’s attention.

If the vendor chooses to grant an exception to the present General Terms of Sale at a given time, it does not imply in any way that the vendor waives the right to enforce said terms and conditions at a later time.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Article 10 : Delivery and shipping charges

10.1. In general

Products will be delivered to the delivery address indicated on the Buyer’s order form: accurate information is therefore necessary to ensure efficient transportation. All items purchased from www.alpaderm.com are related to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. The Buyer is responsible for verifying the state of the parcel and its content on delivery with the deliveryman.

If the parcel was dropped directly into the mailbox and is damaged, the Customer must go to his post office and institute a damage claim without opening the parcel. If that damage claim is not made the same day the parcel is delivered, the post office might refuse the Customer’s claim, and hence Alpaderm will not agree to send any replacements for the damaged parcel.

10.2. Shipping and Deadlines charges

Shipping costs depend on the amount of the order, weight of the parcel and the location it is delivered to.

Exact delivery prices are stated prior to order validation.

Orders are processed within 2 working days. The delivery time is that defined by the Swiss or French post office depending on the country of destination.

Potential delays should not give way to damages, deduction or cancellation of the order by the Buyer.

Alpaderm will decline all responsibility in the event of delivery delays, product loss, strikes, fire (non-exhaustive list).

10.3. Characteristic of Colissimo delivery

The products are delivered to the address given by the Buyer on the order form. A notice of receipt shall be signed by the Buyer. In case of absence, the Buyer receives a transit advice note from the deliveryman which allows him to withdraw the products ordered at the nearest post-office for up to fifteen days.

In the case of the parcel being unclaimed at the Post Office within the given time and subsequently returned to Alpaderm, the parcel can be reshipped in exchange prior payment of the corresponding shipment costs.

In case of returns by the Post Office with the mention “Not Known at this Address”, and if the products are in perfect condition for resale, Alpaderm will reimburse the Customer by credit card refund (total order minus total shipping fees). Alpaderm does not reimburse duties and taxes. The Buyer may then place another order using the correct address.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
