The Seller shall limit deliveries to within the territory of Switzerland. Deliveries shall be made directly to the delivery address and the contact person notified by the buyer.

The Seller assumes no responsibility for delivery delays attributable to manufacturers or third parties.

5.3.

If not all the ordered goods are available in stock, we will be entitled to make partial deliveries.
