  5. Right of withdrawal

    Withdrawal policy

    Consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal.

    Right of withdrawal

    You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without stating any reasons. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day on which you or any third party appointed by you, who is not the courier, has taken possession of the goods.

    To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Meister & Co AG, Hauptstrasse 66, 8832 Wollerau (Switzerland), webshop@meisterschmuck.ch) by means of an unequivocal notice (e.g. a letter transmitted by post or email) of your intention to withdraw from this contract. You may use the notice of standard withdrawal form attached hereto, but this is not mandatory.

    Timely submission of the notice of withdrawal before the end of the withdrawal period is sufficient for observing the withdrawal deadline.

    Consequences of withdrawal

    If you withdraw from this contract, we will promptly refund all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of any additional costs incurred by your optional choice of another mode of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us), at the latest 14 days from the date on which we receive your notice of withdrawal from this agreement. We will process the refund using the same payment method that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed with you otherwise; we will not charge a fee for this refund under any circumstances. We may withhold the refund until the goods have been returned to us or until you have provided evidence that you have shipped the goods, whichever is the earlier.

    You shall return or deliver the goods to us promptly and in any event no later than 14 days after the date on which you inform us that you are withdrawing from this agreement. This deadline is deemed to have been respected if you return the goods before the expiry of the 14-day period. You shall be responsible for the return shipping costs. You shall be liable only for any diminished value of the products if this loss of value results from your handling of the goods in a manner not necessary for testing the condition, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

    There is no right of withdrawal for the following types of contracts:

    • contracts for the supply of goods that have not been prefabricated and for the fabrication of which an individual selection or identification by the consumer is essential or that have been clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.

      To exercise your right of cancellation, you must inform

      Meister & Co AG

      Hauptstrasse 66

      8832 Wollerau (Switzerland)

To comply with the cancellation deadline, we must receive your notice of cancellation within the eight-day cancellation deadline.

      Your notice of cancellation must include the following information:

    3. In the case of payment by credit card, the refund will be made to the original credit card. All bank charges or credit card fees shall be borne by you.
  7. Delivery and transfer of risk
    1. Delivery is made only to delivery addresses in Switzerland.
    2. The delivery period of the goods individually fabricated for you in our factory will be about 14 days from the date the order was received. If, in exceptional circumstances, the delivery period cannot be met, MEISTER will inform you in good time.
    3. Your items will be delivered to you through the MEISTER Premium Partner (Switzerland) selected by you during the order process, who may rely in turn on a suitable courier or equivalent service provider (e.g. Schweizerische Post [Swiss postal service]) for delivery.
    4. When placing your order, you can alternatively opt to collect the items yourself from the MEISTER premium partner (Switzerland). It is not possible to change this choice at a later stage.
    5. The transport risk is borne by MEISTER. Hence, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods passes to you at the latest only when the goods are handed over to you.
  8. Retention of title

    The goods remain our property until they have been paid for in full. MEISTER is entitled to have the retention of title registered at your expense in the relevant register of retention of title, before or after the handover of the goods.

  9. Warranty

    In principle, the statutory warranty rights for defects shall apply; however, in deviation from the statutory provision, MEISTER shall have the right to choose between the cancellation of the contract and return of the delivered items or a reduction of the purchase price. In addition, MEISTER is entitled to provide a cure for the defect or to exchange the item.

  10. Liability

    For claims based on damage that has been caused by us, our legal representatives or persons used by us to perform our obligations, we are at all times liable without limitation

    • for injuries to life, body, or health
    • for any intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty
    • for guarantee promises, if so agreed, or
    • if the matter falls within the scope of the German Product Liability Act.

    In the case of a breach of essential contract obligations - in the sense that they must be satisfied in the first place to properly perform the contract and which the other contracting party may typically expect to be complied with (‘cardinal’ obligations) - through slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or persons used by us to perform our obligations, our liability is limited in its amount to the foreseeable damage that must typically be expected to occur.

    No other claims for compensation are valid.

  11. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction
    1. All contracts concluded by you and MEISTER, including these GTC, are governed by material Swiss law, in particular the provisions of the Swiss law of Obligations (‘OR’). The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. Peremptory applicable laws to the contrary remain expressly reserved.
    2. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the contracts concluded via the Online Boutique between you and MEISTER, including these GTC, is 8832 Wollerau, Switzerland. MEISTER is, however, also entitled to file a lawsuit in the jurisdiction of your place of residence. Peremptory applicable laws to the contrary remain expressly reserved.
  12. Data protection

    We comply with the statutory provisions in the processing of your personal data. Our privacy policy can be viewed at https://www.meisterschmuck.ch/shop/en/privacy-policy/.
