General Terms and Conditions
For all our offers and sales, only the following sales conditions are to be considered relevant. Thereof oral agreements or other conditions are only valid if confirmed by our sales associate in writing and with a legally binding signature. By placing an order the buyer automatically accepts our General Terms and Conditions.

All prices quoted are ex-works Pfronten and do not include presentation, packaging, freight costs and custom duties. If, after conclusion of the contract, significant changes in price occur, we reserve ourselves the right to adjust the price(s) accordingly, as the case may be also in favour of the buyer. To be included and to be taken into consideration are also those where the basic calculation of the price is subject to changing circumstances, their occurrence being predictable at this point in time however not certain as yet.  The part of the transaction that has already been executed will not be affected by the price change. 
2. DELIVERY DELAY AND CAPACITY
The date of delivery fundamentally remains up to our discretion but should be assessed properly. We also reserve the right to effect partial deliveries within this stipulation. We are exempt of any responsibility in the case of force majeure and/or other events having a negative effect upon the capacity to perform and/or deliver if they were unknown und unpredictable at the time of the conclusion of the contract. During the duration of the transaction, new government regulations regardless of their nature are the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise stated by the authorities or by law. All orders placed directly or through our travelling salesmen or sales representative may be declined by us within a period of 10 days after receipt. The official point in time of the refusal is set by the date of dispatch.
3. COPYRIGHT. 
Our drafts, samples, models and such likes represent our intellectual property and may not be copied or replicated in any form although they are not covered by any special property rights. Any violation makes the buyer liable for damages.  
We do not take responsibility for samples, drafts, drawings, etc. being sent to us. In that case, the customer is responsible for any liability to third parties. This is also explicitly valid for the legal protection of design and brands vis-à-vis third parties. The company Pfronten Schmuck GmbH is released from any kind of liability through the customer at the time of his placing the order.
4. SMALL DEVIATIONS OF COLOUR AND DESIGN 
Because of technical reasons, we reserve ourselves the right to deliver our products with small deviations in colour and design. As well, we have the right to deliver a merchandise similar to the one ordered if the latter is presently out of stock and provided the difference between the ordered goods and the delivered goods does not represent a clear violation.  
5. PACKAGING is invoiced at cost price and cannot be returned.
6. SHIPMENT. 
If at the time of order no particular instructions are on hand concerning shipment, it will be effected within our discretionary power without obligation as to price and/or speed. We do not provide insurance coverage for transportation, breakage and theft. The consignee takes over the risk also for carriage free shipments at the latest when the merchandise leaves the supplier’s facilities.  The buyer automatically carries the risk if the shipment is delayed through an action on his part and this from the moment the notification of the delay has been made.  
7. PAYMENT CONDITIONS. 
New customers and customers abroad have to pay in advance or COD (cash on delivery) with respectively 5% discount. Existing customers pay in accordance to their negotiated payment conditions. Normally, this would mean within 10 days with 2% discount or 30 days net. Letters of exchange will not be accepted. We ask for notification in writing within 10 days in case our invoices contain errors. Silence on the part of the invoice recipient exceeding this delay will be considered as tacit acceptance of the invoice. Our travelling salesmen and other representatives are not allowed to accept any means of payment. Checks and other means of payment for monetary payments will be accepted by us only on account of performance. This means that the debtor will be freed from his obligation only upon actual receipt of payment. If the buyer did not perform in accordance to the terms of the contract, especially in case of overdue payments, the Seller has the right to hold back all deliveries until all obligations have been fulfilled or to refuse the further execution of the contract under reservation of damages for non-performance. If the financial situation of the buyer significantly deteriorates or it becomes subsequently known that the buyer is in a bad financial situation, the seller has the right to change the payment conditions in accordance or to cancel the contract altogether. We choose to deliver buyers unknown to us only against immediate payment, cash on delivery or payment in advance if insufficient references are on hand.

The merchandise remains our property until complete remittance of the purchase price including all other service charges. The buyer is entitled to resell the merchandise in the ordinary course of business to a third party or to process it for him. The claims resulting from this kind of legal transactions are to be assigned to us. Incoming payments from these receivables should be kept separate and transferred to us immediately. Insofar customers of the buyer effect money transfers to his bank or his postal checking account, the resulting receivables held by the bank or the postal cheque office should be assigned to us and be used solely for the settlement of our claim. Before the complete payment of the invoiced amount(s), the buyer may not pawn or assign as collateral the goods delivered under reservation of property rights. Immediate notification is to be made to us in the case of seizure of the merchandise or of any prejudice to our reservation of property rights.
