        If the product and its properties match the customer information, Recommerce will accept the offer by email at the price already determined.

        If the inspection of the goods reveals that the actual condition deviates from the customer's product and condition description, Recommerce will submit a counter-offer to the customer by email or telephone.

        The customer can accept or reject this counter-offer within 7 days of receipt of our email. If the customer rejects the counter-offer, Recommerce will send the product back to the customer's address free of charge by B Mail or, if expressly requested by the customer, will dispose of it. 

        If the customer does not respond to the counter offer within 7 days, i.e. neither expressly accepts nor rejects it, then Recommerce assumes that the customer intends to accept the counter offer.

        The customer is responsible for the correct specification of his payment and account details. Delays and additional costs due to incorrect information are not at the expense of Recommerce.
         

  3. Purchase of products on site

    If the customer is in the vicinity of a branch, he can also bring his products by.

    If the test confirms the assumed guideline value, Recommerce will buy the products at the price already determined.

    If checking the products reveals that the actual condition differs from the description of the product and condition, Recommerce will make a counter-offer to the customer. The customer can then accept or reject this counter-offer.

    The purchase price is paid in cash or to a bank/postal account. If the customer wants a cash payment, the customer must identify himself with an official ID (driver's license, valid foreigner's license, ID or passport).

This repair price is guaranteed for 14 days, whereby this price is subject to the conditions annulling the contract in the event of an impossibility of delivery or an incorrect price indication.

      The contract for services is concluded as soon as the customer places the order in the online shop, in one of the branches, by telephone or e-mail (hereinafter referred to as "purchase contract").

      After the conclusion of the purchase contract, the customer receives an automatically generated order confirmation to the e-mail address provided by him.

    2. Repair via our website

      1. Entry of repair order and submission


        If the customer is not shown any corresponding information about the lack of availability on the website, the corresponding spare parts should be in stock in our central warehouse in Steinhausen.

        As a rule, the repairs are carried out on the day of receipt and sent back to the customer by priority mail. A delayed return, regardless of the cause, in no case entitles to a deduction of the invoice amount and is not the basis for a claim for compensation.

        The products are delivered exclusively to addresses in Switzerland or Liechtenstein.

        Before submitting, please note the following points:
        - Apple ID, other manufacturer locks or passwords need to be removed.
        - If possible, the data should be backed up beforehand.
        - Chargers, cables, SIM/SD cards, protective covers, watch straps or packaging should be removed or not sent along. Recommerce accepts no liability for losses.

        It should be noted that Recommerce will have to remove any protective glass or film fitted for repair if necessary and will not provide a replacement.
         

      2. payment


        The order confirmation by e-mail contains all contract information and also our account details.

        Unless otherwise agreed, payments must be made in Swiss francs and net before the start of the repair.

        The customer can use the payment options offered in the online shop under "Payment Options". Cash payment is only possible in the case of a repair at one of our locations. See also  Shipping and Payment

        If the customer chooses the payment method purchase on account with payment in installments option (POWERPAY), POWERPAY takes over the invoice claim and handles the corresponding payment modalities. When purchasing on account, the customer also accepts the General Terms and Conditions of Recommerce  Terms and Conditions of Powerpay . The customer can then pay this bill either in monthly installments or all at once.

      3. testing and repair


        After receiving the products, they are first deleted and then a complete function test is carried out.

        If the test confirms the defect selected by the customer, the product is usually repaired on the same day and sent back to the customer by priority mail.

        If Recommerce determines during the check that there are other defects, the customer will receive a new cost estimate, which he can accept or reject. If the customer accepts this cost estimate, the customer will receive an invoice with the difference. If the customer rejects this cost estimate, the original repair will be carried out, provided this is technically reasonable.

        If Recommerce determines during the inspection that the product cannot be repaired, Recommerce will return the product to the customer or dispose of it free of charge. In both cases, Recommerce refunds the invoice amount paid (including postage costs) minus a processing fee of CHF 30.00.

    3. Repair of products on site


      If the customer is in the vicinity of a branch, he can also bring his products by. It should be noted that Recommerce cannot carry out all repair options in every branch and in some cases Recommerce must therefore send the product to the head office.

      Recommerce records the customer's personal details and products and then gives the customer a guideline for the repair of the product. If the customer agrees to this guideline and the spare parts are available on site, the repair usually takes two hours.

      If, upon review, Recommerce determines that there are additional defects or that the product is not repairable, Recommerce will contact the customer to discuss the new situation.

      If the customer decides not to repair the device, a handling fee of CHF 30.00 will be charged or this amount will be deducted from the invoice amount already paid (including postage costs).
       
      The customer is entitled to the as a means of payment in the repair shop  «Payment options»  offered payment options and a cash payment are available.
       

  7. Customer Data and Data Transfer


    As part of our acceptance of goods and inspection, Recommerce carries out data deletion, resets to the delivery status and, under certain circumstances, software updates that lead to the permanent deletion of existing data.

    For these reasons, the customer undertakes to secure his personal data before sending in the products.

    Recommerce excludes any liability for data loss and corresponding consequential damages within the legally permissible framework. This exclusion of liability also applies in the event that the customer does not comply with his data backup obligation and the data is lost as a result of a warranty service or repair by Recommerce or its partners.

    If Recommerce carries out data backups or transfers on behalf of the customer, Recommerce does not guarantee the success and completeness of the backup or transfer. Any liability claims on the part of the customer within the legally permissible framework are therefore excluded.
     

  8. Transport insurance

    1. Submission of the products by the customer


      Since damage due to improper packaging is not insured, it is essential that the products are packed very carefully. The customer bears the risk of loss or other damage during transport, unless the transport insurance of Swiss Post covers this. It is only transferred to Recommerce when the products are handed over from Swiss Post.

      Shipping is insured by Swiss Post transport insurance up to an amount of CHF 500.00.

    2. Shipping of the products by Recommerce


      The products are shipped by Recommerce via Swiss Post and the following liability limits therefore apply:
      - Package value up to and including CHF 250.00 - Liability limit CHF 500.00
      - Package value from CHF 250.00 -  Liability limit CHF 1'500.00

      This regulation applies to all private and business customers with whom no special written agreement has been concluded.

      In the event of damage, the General Terms and Conditions of Swiss Post apply.
       

  9. Inspection obligation


    The customer must check delivered or collected products immediately for correctness, completeness and delivery damage.

    Delivery damage, incorrect and incomplete deliveries must be reported by telephone or email within 7 calendar days from the time of collection or delivery. Recommerce will then email the customer the necessary instructions for the next steps.

    2. repair of products


      The warranty period for repairs is 3 months and is defined on the invoice or the Recommerce warranty certificate. It starts from the delivery or collection date.

      During this period, Recommerce assumes the guarantee that the repaired spare part is free of defects and that it is functional. Any guarantee on other components of the repaired device is excluded.

      If Recommerce performs a warranty service, Recommerce grants a 3-month warranty on the repaired or replaced device; if the original warranty period lasts longer, this applies. These warranty periods are neither interrupted by any warranty services nor do they begin to run again.

      The defective part becomes the property of Recommerce after repair.
       

  11. Liability and Disclaimer


    Liability is based on the applicable legal provisions. However liable

    -  Improper modification or repair of the Products by Customer or a third party;
