During the ordering process, the customer accepts the GTC in the version valid at the time of the order. We do not recognise any deviating terms and conditions of the customer unless we have expressly agreed to them in writing.
    2. Our offer is directed exclusively at consumers, i.e. individuals who conclude a transaction for purposes that are not predominantly attributable to their commercial or self-employed activity. Furthermore, our offer is directed at individuals above 18 years old and is not under guardianship. The sale of our products is limited to household quantities.
    3. The customer acknowledges these GTC and agrees to them as soon as he places an order.

    1. The products displayed in the seller's online shop are not a binding offer of a contract but an invitation to the customer to make an offer. After going through the ordering process, the customer makes this offer legal by pressing the field "order subject to payment". The seller decides on the acceptance of the bid at his discretion within five days.
    2. After submitting the order in our online shop, the customer will receive an automated e-mail at the e-mail address provided to confirm receipt of the order (order confirmation). The order confirmation merely serves to inform the customer that we have received the order.
    3. A valid contract only is concluded when we declare acceptance of the contract. We declare acceptance of the contract when we issue an invoice to the customer, send a confirmation of dispatch or, at the latest, when we deliver the goods.
    4. The contract is concluded only for those expressly stated in the invoice, the order confirmation and the dispatch confirmation. This also determines the scope of services.
  4. Order process

    In the overview of the product range of the online shop www.popolini.ch, the customer can select the goods they want by clicking on the button "add to shopping cart". The selected goods are stored temporarily in the shopping cart during the customer's visit to the website www.popolini.ch. The customer can continue the ordering process by clicking the button "proceed to checkout" next to the goods listed in the shopping cart. On the following page, the customer needs to register for the online shop or log in if he already has an account.
    The customer then selects the shipping address and the payment method they wish to use and enters the data required to make the payment. When choosing external payment services such as PayPal, the customer is redirected to the external website of the respective payment service provider. Before the binding submission of the final order, the data relevant to the order are summarised in an "order summary".
    Before the customer finally submits his binding order by pressing the button "place order", he is free to recheck his details in the order summary and correct them if necessary. By pressing the button "order at cost", the customer submits a binding offer to purchase the goods selected by them.
