Terms and Conditions

1 General

1.1 The following terms and conditions apply to all our offers, sales, deliveries, and services and become part of the contract. They also apply to all future business relationships, even if they are not expressly agreed upon again.

1.2 We hereby expressly object to any deviating or supplementary general terms and conditions of the buyer. They shall not apply even if the buyer has based his order or other declaration on them.

2 Offers and orders

2.1 Our offers are subject to change unless they are expressly stated to be binding in writing. A valid contract is therefore only concluded upon our order confirmation or upon delivery of the goods.

2.2 Dimensions, weights, illustrations, drawings, and other documents included in our non-binding offers remain our property and are only approximate. They can only become binding contractual provisions upon our express written confirmation.

3.0 Returns/Exchanges

3.1 Returns are permitted up to 30 days after the order date and must be returned to the following address:

RSC Projects GmbH

Weidstrasse 16

8620 Wetzikon

Only items suitable for resale are eligible for exchange. Used, defective, or items that have had their nameplates removed cannot be returned.

4 Doubtful solvency

4.1 If, after conclusion of the contract, we become aware of circumstances that cast doubt on the buyer's ability to pay, we may make further deliveries dependent on advance payment for the goods by the buyer. We may set the buyer a reasonable deadline for advance payment and withdraw from the contract if the advance payment is not received by the deadline; the buyer may provide security by way of a bank guarantee instead of advance payment. If we have already delivered the goods, the purchase price shall be due immediately without deduction, regardless of any agreed payment terms.

4.2 Doubts about the Buyer’s ability to pay are justified, among other things, if an application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been filed against his assets or if he fails to make payments to us or third parties on time.

5 prizes

5.1 Our prices are ex works unless otherwise agreed with the buyer. Packaging and shipping costs, as well as customs duties, are not included in the price.

5.2 The statutory value added tax is not included in our prices and will be shown separately on the invoice at the rate applicable on the day of invoicing.

5.3 If more than four months elapse between the date of contract conclusion and the date of delivery without this being due to a delivery delay for which we are responsible, and if our current price list has changed during this time, we may demand the list price valid on the date of delivery instead of the agreed purchase price. We will send the buyer an amended order confirmation prior to delivery. In this case, the buyer may withdraw from their order with regard to the goods for which the price has been increased. They must declare their withdrawal in writing no later than the third working day after receiving the amended order confirmation. Sending an email is sufficient.

6 Delivery time

6.1 All stated delivery dates are non-binding and are only approximate unless expressly designated as binding by us. For non-binding delivery dates, delivery within 10 working days of the stated delivery time is still considered timely.

6.2 If we are culpably unable to meet an expressly agreed deadline or are in default for other reasons, the buyer must grant us a reasonable grace period, which

10 days. After this grace period expires without result, the buyer is entitled to withdraw from the contract.

6.3 If performance becomes temporarily impossible or significantly more difficult for us due to force majeure or other extraordinary circumstances beyond our control, the agreed delivery time shall be extended by the duration of the impediment. The same applies to any statutory deadline or deadline set by the buyer for performance, in particular to grace periods in the event of default.

6.4 Before the expiration of the delivery or performance period extended pursuant to paragraph 3, the buyer is neither entitled to withdraw from the contract nor to claim damages. If the impediment to performance lasts longer than three weeks, both the buyer and we are entitled to withdraw from the contract, provided the contract has not yet been performed. If the buyer is contractually or legally entitled to withdraw from the contract without granting a grace period (e.g., due to loss of interest), this right remains unaffected.

6.5 In the event of any delay in delivery, unless caused by intent or gross negligence, claims for damages of any kind are excluded.

7 Shipping

7.1 Shipping is at the buyer's expense. Risk passes to the buyer upon loading of the goods, even if freight-free delivery has been agreed and/or the shipment is made using our own vehicles. We are not obligated to provide transport insurance.

7.2 Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, we are entitled to make partial deliveries to a reasonable extent, which will be invoiced separately.

8 Payment

8.1 Unless otherwise agreed, our invoices are to be paid within 10 days of the invoice date without deduction.

8.2 The Buyer shall be in default even without a reminder from us if he does not pay the purchase price within 10 days of the due date and receipt of the invoice or an equivalent payment statement.

8.3 If the buyer defaults on a payment, all of his payment obligations arising from the business relationship with us, including those for which bills of exchange have been issued, shall become immediately due. In this case, we are entitled to demand interest at the statutory rate from the relevant date. The seller reserves the right to prove greater damages.

8.4 The Buyer is only entitled to offset, even if notices of defects or counterclaims are asserted, if the counterclaims have been legally established, acknowledged by the Seller, or are undisputed. The Buyer is only entitled to exercise a right of retention if his counterclaim is based on the same purchase contract.

9 Warranty/Liability

9.1 The buyer must inspect the received goods for completeness, transport damage, obvious defects, quality, and their characteristics. Obvious defects must be reported to us in writing or by email within 5 days of delivery of the contractual item.

9.2 We are not obligated to provide a warranty if the buyer fails to notify us of an obvious defect in writing in a timely manner. If the goods are defective for which we are responsible and the buyer notifies us in writing in a timely manner, we are obligated to provide subsequent performance, excluding the buyer's rights to withdraw from the contract or reduce the purchase price, unless we are entitled to refuse subsequent performance under statutory provisions. The buyer must grant us a reasonable period of time for subsequent performance for each individual defect.

9.3 Subsequent performance may be carried out, at the buyer's discretion, by remedying the defect or delivering new goods. We are entitled to refuse the type of subsequent performance chosen by the buyer if it would entail disproportionate costs. During the subsequent performance, the buyer is not entitled to a reduction in the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract. A subsequent improvement shall be deemed to have failed after the second unsuccessful attempt. If subsequent performance fails or the seller has refused subsequent performance altogether, the buyer may, at his discretion, demand a reduction in the purchase price (abatement) or declare withdrawal from the contract.

9.4 The buyer may only assert claims for damages under the following conditions due to the defect if subsequent performance has failed or if subsequent performance is refused by us. The buyer's right to assert further claims for damages under the following conditions remains unaffected.

9.5 We are liable without limitation in accordance with statutory provisions for intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty, as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health. Otherwise, we are only liable if the breached contractual obligation is clearly of essential importance for achieving the contractual purpose, and only up to the amount of the typically foreseeable damage.

9.6 The limitation of liability pursuant to paragraph 5 applies accordingly to claims for damages other than contractual claims, in particular claims arising from tort, with the exception of claims under the Product Liability Act. It also applies to our employees, workers, staff, representatives, and vicarious agents.

9.7 To the extent that we have provided a quality and/or durability guarantee with respect to the goods or parts thereof, we shall also be liable within the scope of this guarantee. However, we shall only be liable for damages resulting from the lack of the guaranteed quality or durability, but not directly affecting the goods, if the risk of such damage is clearly covered by the quality and durability guarantee.

9.8 We are also liable for damages caused by simple negligence, insofar as this negligence concerns the breach of contractual obligations whose compliance is of particular importance for achieving the purpose of the contract (cardinal obligations). However, we are only liable to the extent that the damages are typically associated with the contract and foreseeable. We are not liable for simple negligent breaches of ancillary obligations that are not essential to the contract. The limitations of liability contained in Section 8 also apply to the extent that the liability of the Seller's legal representatives, executives, and other vicarious agents is affected.

9.9 Any further liability is excluded regardless of the legal nature of the asserted claim. To the extent that the Seller's liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of its employees, workers, staff, representatives, and vicarious agents.

10 Retention of title

10.1 We retain title to the goods (reserved goods) until all payments under the purchase contract have been received. The delivered goods shall only become the property of the buyer once the buyer has fulfilled all its obligations arising from the business relationship, including ancillary claims, claims for damages, and the redemption of checks and bills of exchange. In the case of check-bill settlement, the retention of title in all its forms listed here does not expire upon check payment, but only upon redemption of the bill of exchange.

10.2 The buyer must notify us immediately in writing of any access by third parties, in particular of enforcement measures and other impairments of his property. The buyer must compensate us for all damages and costs resulting from a breach of this obligation and from necessary measures to protect against access by third parties.

10.3 If the buyer fails to fulfill his payment obligation despite a reminder from us, we may demand the return of the reserved goods still in his ownership without prior notice. The buyer shall bear the resulting transport costs. Seizure of the reserved goods by us always constitutes a withdrawal from the contract. After retaining the reserved goods, we are entitled to dispose of them. The proceeds of such disposition will be offset against our outstanding claims.

11 Place of performance

11.1 The place of performance for payments is our registered office, and for deliveries of goods the place of dispatch.

12 Data processing

12.1 The buyer agrees that we may process the data about the buyer received in connection with the business relationship in compliance with the Federal Data Protection Act for the fulfillment of our own business purposes, in particular storing it or transmitting it to a credit protection organization, insofar as this is within the scope of the purpose of the contract or is necessary to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that the buyer's legitimate interest in excluding the processing, in particular the transmission, of this data outweighs such interests.

13 Place of jurisdiction and applicable law

13.1 Unless otherwise provided by law, the place of jurisdiction shall be our registered office.

13.2 The Buyer is not entitled to assign claims arising from the purchase contract without the consent of the Seller.

13.3 All disputes arising from this legal relationship shall be governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict of law provisions. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded.

13.4 We are entitled to unilaterally amend these General Terms and Conditions, to the extent they are incorporated into the contractual relationship with the customer, if this is necessary to eliminate subsequently arising equivalence issues or to adapt to changed legal or technical conditions. We will inform the customer of any amendments and provide details of the amended provisions. The amendment will become part of the contract if the customer does not object to its inclusion in the contractual relationship in writing or text form within six weeks of receiving notification of the amendment.

14 Severability clause and validity of the General Terms and Conditions

14.1 By placing an order, the customer accepts our General Terms and Conditions. Should any provision of these General Terms and Conditions be invalid for any reason, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be immediately replaced by the relevant statutory provision. Verbal agreements require written confirmation to be valid.
