General terms and conditions of Allegra Movement GmbH

I. Validity/offers/termination 

  1. These general terms and conditions apply to all - including future - contracts with entrepreneurs, legal entities under public law and special funds under public law for deliveries and other services, including work contracts, services, advice, suggestions and other ancillary services. The purchaser's purchasing conditions will not be recognized even if we do not expressly object to them again after they have been received by us.
  2. Our offers and information in connection with deliveries are subject to change. The offers published by Allegra Movement GmbH in the web shop do not constitute a contractual offer. An order from the customer via our web shop is considered an invitation to make a purchase offer to Allegra Movement GmbH. Allegra Movement GmbH also reserves the right to forward this invitation to make a purchase offer to the respective partner depending on the country and canton. Liability on our part is excluded in accordance with Section XVI Nos. 1 and 2. Verbal agreements, promises, assurances and guarantees made by our employees in connection with the conclusion of the contract only become binding upon our confirmation in text form. This particularly applies to directing work. The documents associated with our offers, such as drawings, illustrations, performance and consumption information, contain or are only approximate information and, unless otherwise provided, are not considered to be specially agreed properties. We reserve the right to make changes due to construction.
  3. We reserve ownership and copyright to cost estimates, drawings and all other documents; They may neither be made accessible to third parties nor used for their purposes.
  4. In case of doubt, the lncoterms in their most recent version are decisive for the interpretation of commercial clauses. 

II. Prices 

  1. The prices are exclusive of the legally applicable VAT.
  2. If duties or other third-party costs that are included in the agreed price change or arise later than four weeks after conclusion of the contract, we are entitled to change the price to the appropriate extent. 

III. Payment and billing 

  1. Billing takes place with each delivery/work/service in text form by email. This also applies to partial deliveries.
  2. Unless otherwise agreed or stated in our invoices, the remuneration is due immediately after delivery without any discount and is to be paid in such a way that we can dispose of the amount on the due date. The customer bears the costs of payment transactions. The customer is only entitled to a right of retention and offsetting to the extent that his counterclaims are undisputed or have been legally established.
  3. If the payment deadline is exceeded or in default, we charge interest amounting to 9% points above the respective base interest rate, unless higher interest rates have been agreed. The assertion of further damages remains reserved.
  4. The purchaser is in default no later than 30 days after the due date and receipt of the invoice/payment statement or the due date and receipt of the service. The customer is not in default as long as the service fails due to a circumstance for which he is not responsible.
  5. If it becomes apparent after conclusion of the contract that our claim to payment is at risk due to the purchaser's inability to perform, or if due invoices or agreed installments are not paid on time, loss of deadline is deemed to have been agreed. We are then also entitled to demand payment of all outstanding claims arising from the ongoing business relationship with the customer. Furthermore, these rights extend to all other outstanding deliveries, works and services from the business relationship with the customer. In addition, in the aforementioned cases, we are entitled to withdraw in accordance with the statutory provisions. If a withdrawal from the contract occurs for the aforementioned reasons, we are entitled, without prejudice to other claims, to demand a contractual penalty in the amount of 10% of the order sum leading to the withdrawal.
  6. An agreed discount always refers only to the invoice value, excluding freight, and requires that all of the purchaser's due liabilities have been settled in full at the time of the discount.
  7. Claims assigned to us by the customer against his insurers or other debtors are exclusively for the sake of performance. 

IV. Execution of deliveries, delivery times and dates, assembly, acceptance 

  1. Our delivery and assembly obligation is subject to correct and timely self-delivery, unless the incorrect or late self-delivery is our fault. The timely production of the work is also subject to the timely production of the preliminary work necessary for the production of the work by the purchaser, his vicarious agents and/or third parties. Any late production of necessary preliminary work will be at the expense of the purchaser, regardless of the reason for the delay, regardless of whether the purchaser is responsible for the delay.
  2. Delivery and assembly times are approximate. Delivery and assembly times begin on the date of our order confirmation and only apply provided that all details of the order are clarified in a timely manner and all obligations of the customer are fulfilled in a timely manner, such as: B. Provision of all official certificates, provision of letters of credit and guarantees or payment of down payments, plans, construction drawings, transfer of the floor space, components, objects and/or materials to or with which the commissioned work services are to be performed.
  3. We are not owed any engineering, landscape architecture or architectural work unless expressly agreed between the parties.
  4. We are entitled to pass on the order in whole or in part to other entrepreneurs (subcontractors) for execution.
  5. Our facilities are built in accordance with the rules of Parkitect GmbH standards. This standard is attached to the offer in text form and is part of the contract.
  6. If it is agreed that the trail built by us is operated by the customer himself, this operation is solely at his risk and expense. He bears full responsibility for the operation, in particular he has to ensure that only trained employees are used in the operation and that all people who use the trail are sufficiently instructed beforehand. If claims are made against us by third parties due to damage in connection with the operation of the trail by the client, the client must indemnify us and hold us harmless.
  7. Force majeure events entitle us to postpone the construction of trails or the provision of other services, in particular marketing services, for the duration of the hindrance and a reasonable start-up time. This also applies if such events occur during an existing default. Force majeure is any external, unforeseeable and uncontrollable event that cannot be prevented even with the utmost care. Force majeure includes adverse weather conditions, adverse vegetation, adverse soil conditions, monetary, trade policy and other sovereign measures, strikes, lockouts, operational disruptions for which we are not responsible (e.g. fire, machine breakdown, shortage of raw materials or energy), obstruction of transport routes, delays in the delivery Import/customs clearance, lack of local workers, as well as all other circumstances which, through no fault of ours, make construction significantly more difficult or impossible. It is irrelevant whether these circumstances occur with us, the supplier or a sub-supplier. If the execution of the contract becomes unreasonable for one of the contracting parties due to the aforementioned events, in particular if the execution of the contract is delayed in significant parts by more than 6 months, this party can declare the cancellation of the contract.
  8. For work services, the customer is obliged to accept the work immediately after completion.
  9. When the work is accepted, the purchaser is obliged to issue a corresponding receipt in the form of an acceptance protocol signed by the purchaser and presented by us, provided it is free of defects. When the receipt is signed, the work is deemed to have been accepted.
  10. A work is also deemed to have been accepted if we have given the purchaser a deadline of 7 days for acceptance after completion of the work and the purchaser has not refused acceptance within this period, citing at least one defect. 

V. Special obligations of the purchaser

  2. The purchaser must, on his own initiative and at his own expense, obtain all official permits necessary to carry out the work contractually undertaken by us, such as, in particular, the building, commercial, nature conservation, landscape and environmental protection authorities as well as water law permits, and the necessary consents of third parties who may be affected by the work in their legal sphere; If claims are made against us for such an occasion, the customer must indemnify us and hold us harmless.
  3. Unless otherwise agreed, the customer has agreed to provide us with the necessary equipment and auxiliary materials in a timely manner and free of charge, even if a flat rate price has been agreed. Any precautions taken by the purchaser that may be necessary for our service, such as structural measures, must be completed before our employees arrive.
  4. The purchaser must take all security measures necessary to protect people and property as long as these are related to the property or location. In this respect, the purchaser has an increased obligation to warn and provide information (e.g. danger zones). He must inform our employees of these to the extent this is necessary for their work. This applies in particular to systems or work in areas where there is a risk of explosion, as well as to the presence, location and route of lines of any kind, especially water and power lines.

He must also support us in providing our services, in particular to enable unhindered access to the location of the service to be provided by us and to assign an employee who is responsible for operating, supporting or monitoring the system or parts of the system on which ours is authorized and able to provide the service. If he does not fulfill these obligations, he is liable to us for all resulting damages and at the same time releases us from any liability.
  6. The purchaser must indemnify us against third-party claims that arise from the failure to mark or incorrectly identify property boundaries.

We reserve the right to archive work and drafts and use them for reference.

The client declares that he is in possession of the copyright and/or trademark rights required for the services he has commissioned or, if he is not the author and/or trademark owner himself, that he has obtained permission for use from the author and/or trademark owner who obtained images, trademarks and/or names.

We will not cover any expenses that arise as a result of the sold work being moved to a location other than the purchaser's headquarters or branch, unless this corresponds to its contractual use.

XIII. General Limitation of Liability 

  1. Due to breach of contractual and non-contractual obligations, in particular due to impossibility, delay, negligence in initiating the contract and unlawful acts as well as warranty claims, we are only liable - including for our executive employees and other vicarious agents - in cases of intent and gross negligence. 
  2. These restrictions do not apply in the event of a culpable breach of essential contractual obligations, insofar as the achievement of the purpose of the contract is jeopardized and the damage is typical contractual damage foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded, in cases of mandatory liability under the Product Liability Act, in the event of damage to life, limb and the health and not even if and to the extent that we have fraudulently concealed defects in the work or guaranteed their absence. The rules on the burden of proof remain unaffected.
  3. Unless otherwise agreed, contractual claims that the customer may have against us due to or in connection with the production of the work expire one year after acceptance of the work, unless they require compensation for physical injury or damage to health or typical, foreseeable damage or are based on intent or gross negligence on the part of the purchaser. Our liability for intentional and grossly negligent breaches of duty remains unaffected. In cases of supplementary performance, the limitation period does not begin to run again. XV No. 1 remains unaffected by this.
  4. If claims are made against us by third parties during production and delivery based on the drawings, samples, models or other documents provided by the purchaser, the purchaser will indemnify us and hold us harmless.
  5. When using the systems and other items delivered or assembled by us, the purchaser is obliged to strictly comply with all regulations, technical regulations, installation instructions, operating and usage instructions that exist to protect against dangers and to only use authorized specialists when using them.
  6. Furthermore, the purchaser undertakes to notify us immediately of any liability cases and to provide us with the necessary documents.
  7. The client is responsible for the content he provides. This responsibility is governed by general laws and regulations, in particular the liability provisions of this agreement. The risk of the legal admissibility of the project measures carried out is borne by the client. 

XIV. Bankruptcy 

If insolvency proceedings are opened against the customer's assets and the right pursuant to Section 78 IO is exercised, or the opening is rejected due to insufficient assets, we are entitled - without prejudice to our other rights - to withdraw from the contract in accordance with the statutory provisions. 

XV. Place of performance, place of jurisdiction and applicable law 

  1. The place of fulfillment for our deliveries is our company headquarters. At our discretion, the place of jurisdiction is the registered office of our company or the registered office of the purchaser.
  2. In addition to these conditions, Swiss law applies exclusively to all legal relationships between us and the customer. The provisions of the Convention of April 11, 1980 on contracts for the international sale of goods (CISG) do not apply. 

XVI. Miscellaneous 

  1. Correspondence between the contracting parties takes place in text form by email, unless another form is mandatory in the contract. Oral correspondence has no legally binding effect unless the parties agree otherwise or there is imminent danger to the parties' mutual economic interests or legal interests. This does not apply to correspondence that is contractually subject to text or written form. Consent to communication via email is granted upon conclusion of the contract without any further need for regulation.
  2. If individual provisions of the contract with the customer, including these general terms and conditions, are or become ineffective in whole or in part, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The completely or partially ineffective regulation should be replaced by a regulation whose economic success comes as close as possible to that of the ineffective regulation.
