1. Scope

All business relationships between us, STUDIO FROM SCRATCH GmbH, Glärnischstrasse 297, 8708 Männedorf, Switzerland and its brand FAIR bicycle (herein after referred to as «FAIR bicycle»), and customers residing worldwide who use FAIR bicycle’s internet offerings including, but not limited to, FAIR bicycle’s online shop, shall be subject exclusively to the general terms and conditions set forth below in the version applicable at the time of ordering, unless agreed upon otherwise in writing. The customer’s general terms and conditions shall apply only if approved by FAIR bicycle in writing.


2. Offerings and Formation of Purchase Agreement

The presentation of products in FAIR bicycle’s online shop shall not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather a non-binding invitation to place an order. Errors in the presentation shall be reserved. The right to customary deviations from the images and descriptions in FAIR bicycle’s brochures, price lists and catalogs and to deviations that result from legal regulations or constitute technical improvements and the right to replace parts with equivalent parts so far as they do not compromise the usability of the respective product for the contractually agreed-upon purpose shall be reserved.

The customer can move products to the virtual shopping cart with a click of the mouse. All products selected will be shown in the virtual shopping cart to enable the customer to review his/her order. By clicking the submit order button, the customer submits a binding offer for the formation of a purchase agreement regarding the products previously moved to the virtual shopping cart. The customer shall be bound by said offer for the duration of the period indicated in the product description. The customer’s order shall be forwarded to FAIR bicycle and the customer shall receive an electronic order confirmation by e-mail without undue delay. FAIR bicycle expressly points out that an order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the respective order; an agreement between the customer and FAIR bicycle shall not be concluded until FAIR bicycle has sent an order confirmation by e-mail or has delivered the product(s) to the customer.


3. Product Availability and Delivery

In the online shop, the customer can see which products are available for immediate shipping, temporarily unavailable, or made-to-order. All products shall be subject to the delivery deadline indicated in the relevant product description.

Delivery shall be made to the delivery address provided by the customer. Such delivery address may deviate from the billing address. Where the customer has not provided a delivery address, delivery shall be made to the billing address.

FAIR bicycle shall have the right to make partial deliveries if and when such partial delivery
- is useful to the customer under consideration of the contractually agreed-upon purpose intended, and
- does not entail any material additional effort or additional costs for the customer.


4. Transfer of Risk

If the customer is a consumer, the shipping risks shall be assumed by FAIR bicycle irrespective of the shipping method. If the customer is a businessperson, risk shall pass to the customer as soon as FAIR bicycle has handed over the products to the contracted forwarder or carrier or other delivery company appointed to execute the shipment.
