4. Conclusion of contract

The offers and quotations of Medicor AG constitute an invitation to the customer to order or purchase products or to utilise services. Offers issued individually for the respective customer are binding for Medicor AG for the period of time stated on them. In all other respects, all offers, dates and deadlines communicated to Medicor AG prior to conclusion of the contract are subject to change and non-binding. 
The contract is concluded upon acceptance by the customer. The contract is also concluded when the customer is given ownership of the products offered by Medi-cor AG or utilises the services of Medicor AG.
If it transpires after conclusion of the contract that the ordered products cannot be delivered or ordered services cannot be provided or cannot be provided in full (e.g. national and international regulations, embargoes etc.), Medicor AG is entitled to withdraw from the entire contract or from a part of the contract or not to provide the services concerned. If the customer's payment has already been received by Medicor AG, the payment will be refunded to the customer accordingly. If no payment has yet been made, the customer shall be released from the payment obligation accordingly. In the event of cancellation of the contract, Medicor AG is not obliged to make a replacement delivery or to pay compensation.
In the case of services, the customer may waive utilisation at any time, in which case it shall reimburse Medicor AG for the costs incurred up to this point in time on a time and material basis. Medicor AG is entitled to deduct these costs from any payment already made.
Service contracts for an agreed period of time may be cancelled in writing by the customer and by Medicor AG up to three months before their expiry (by e-mail is sufficient), otherwise they shall be automatically renewed once for the same period of time, with adjustment of the remuneration in accordance with the national consumer price index. 

5. Right of cancellation

When purchasing products, the customer has the right to cancel the contract with Medicor AG within 14 days of taking possession of the goods or the last partial consignment. The deadline is deemed to have been met if the customer notifies Medicor AG of the cancellation in good time (by e-mail to info@medicor-ag.ch). The customer can use the cancellation form enclosed with the order. The cancellation does not require any justification. To comply with the right of cancellation, it is sufficient for the customer to send the notification of the exercise of the right of cancellation before the expiry of the aforementioned 14-day period.

The exercise of the right of cancellation leads to a reversal of the contract.

The customer must return the goods in question to Medicor AG within five days of notification of cancellation at the latest. This deadline shall be deemed to have been met if the goods are dispatched within the aforementioned period. The customer shall bear the costs of returning the goods.

Any payment already made and the delivery costs (standard delivery) will be refunded to the customer within 14 days of receipt of the cancellation by Medicor AG. Medicor AG shall use the same means of payment for this refund as the customer used for his payment. Medicor AG may refuse reimbursement until it has received the goods back or the customer provides proof that the goods have been returned.

Medicor AG reserves the right to demand appropriate compensation for damage, excessive wear and tear or loss of value due to improper handling and to deduct the reduction in value from the purchase price already paid or to invoice the customer for it. Only complete packaging units (cartons, pallets, etc.) can be returned.

No right of cancellation is granted in the following cases:

(i) if the contract has a random element, namely because the price is subject to fluctuations over which Medicor AG has no control;

(ii) if the contract concerns a movable item which, due to its nature, is not suitable for return or may spoil quickly; or 

(iii) if the contract concerns a movable item that is manufactured according to the customer's specifications or is clearly customised to personal requirements.

6. Payment modalities

Payment shall be made in advance or on account.

Medicor AG reserves the right to demand payment in advance and/or to exclude customers from individual payment options without giving reasons. If the requested advance payment is not received within the deadline, Medicor AG is entitled to withdraw from the contract and to demand compensation.

In the case of payment on account, the customer shall automatically be in default on expiry of the payment deadline and shall owe default interest of 5% per annum.

The invoiced amount may not be offset against any claims the customer may have against Medicor AG.

7. Delivery, obligation to inspect and notification of defects

Products

Deliveries are dispatched to the address specified by the customer in the order. The delivery period is usually two to three working days, but can be up to 14 days in exceptional cases. Deliveries are sometimes dependent on third parties, which is why the stated delivery times are non-binding.

If the delivery cannot be delivered or if the customer refuses to accept the delivery, Medicor AG may cancel the contract after notifying the customer by e-mail, setting a reasonable deadline and charging the customer for the costs incurred.

The customer is obliged to inspect the delivered products immediately upon receipt of the delivery and to notify Medicor Ltd in writing by e-mail within three working days of any defects for which Medicor Ltd is liable. Thereafter, the delivery shall be deemed accepted.
