    SMG reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. The version of these terms and conditions applicable at the time of the order is decisive, which cannot be unilaterally changed for this order. Conditions of customers that contradict or deviate from these GTC will not be recognized.

    The offer of goods and services in the online shop (hereinafter referred to as "offer") is aimed exclusively at customers with their place of residence or company headquarters in Switzerland.

    Deliveries are made exclusively to addresses in Switzerland.

    The offer is valid as long as the product can be found in the online shop and / or stocks last.

    Products and prices

    Images of products in flyers, brochures, online shops, etc. serve for illustration and are non-binding.

    The information about products is presented in the online shop as customer-oriented as possible, but is not binding. The information provided by the manufacturer, in particular the manufacturer's guarantee, is authoritative if it is valid in Switzerland.

    The prices are net, including value added tax (VAT) in Swiss francs. The decisive factor is the price in the online shop at the time of the respective order. SMG reserves the right to change prices at any time.

However, this offer is always subject to the condition dissolving the contract of an impossibility of delivery or an incorrect price indication. The contract arises as soon as the customer places an order in the online shop. (hereinafter referred to as the "contract").

    The arrival of an online order is indicated to the customers by means of an automatically generated order confirmation to the email address they provided. The receipt of the automatically generated order confirmation does not contain any assurance that the product can actually be delivered. It only indicates to the customer that the order placed has arrived at the online shop and that the contract has thus come about under the condition of delivery and the correct price.

    4. Delivery dates
