The following applies to entrepreneurs: If the entrepreneur uses conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions, their validity is hereby rejected; they shall only become part of the contract if we have expressly agreed to them.
2. Contractual partner, formation of contract, options for corrections
The purchase contract is concluded with macu4 AG.
By providing a cost estimate, we make a binding offer to conclude a contract for these items. You can initially request a non-binding offer for our products and correct the offer at any time before confirming your binding order by notifying us of the changes and receiving an updated offer. The contract is concluded when you accept the offer. You will receive confirmation of your order by email.
3. Contract language, saving of the contract text
The language(s) available for the conclusion of the contract: German, English
We will store the contract text and send you the order details and a reference to the General Terms and Conditions in text form. You can find the contract text in the email.
4. Delivery conditions
Shipping costs Shipping costs are added to the product prices quoted. You can find more details about the shipping costs in the offers.
Delivery options We ship the products to the delivery address specified during the ordering process.
We only deliver by post. Unfortunately, it is not possible to collect the goods yourself.
We do not deliver to packing stations.
5. Payment
The following payment methods are generally available to you.
(1) Invoice: The invoice amount is due 30 days after receipt of the invoice by bank transfer to the bank account specified on the invoice. We reserve the right to offer purchase on account only after a successful credit check.
(2) Prepayment: The invoice amount must be transferred within 7 days. After receipt of the transfer to the bank account specified on the invoice, the order will be processed bindingly.
6. Right of withdrawal
Consumers are entitled to the statutory right of withdrawal as described in the withdrawal policy. Entrepreneurs are not granted a voluntary right of withdrawal.
7. Retention of title
The products remain our property until full payment has been received.
For customers based in Switzerland, we are entitled to make a corresponding entry in the retention of title register.
The following also applies to entrepreneurs: We retain ownership of the product until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. You may resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business; you assign to us in advance all claims arising from this resale – irrespective of any combination or mixing of the goods subject to retention of title with a new item – in the amount of the invoice amount, and we accept this assignment. You remain authorised to collect the claims, but we may also collect claims ourselves if you do not meet your payment obligations. At your request, we will release the securities to which we are entitled to the extent that the realisable value of the securities exceeds the value of the outstanding claims by more than 10%.
8. Transport damage
The following applies to consumers: If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please report such defects to the delivery agent as soon as possible and contact us immediately. Failure to make a complaint or contact us has no consequences for your legal claims and their enforcement, in particular your warranty rights. However, you help us to assert our own claims against the carrier or transport insurance company.

For businesses: The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration is transferred to you as soon as we have delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment.
9. Warranty and guarantees
Liability for defects
(1) The following applies to consumers based in Switzerland: The statutory liability for defects applies. If the consumer fails to do so, the purchased item shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the defects were not apparent during a normal inspection. If such defects become apparent later, they must be reported immediately after discovery, otherwise the item shall also be deemed to have been approved with regard to these defects. Please return the defective product to us with a description of the defect. You shall bear the transport costs incurred. We provide warranty by remedying defects. This is done at our discretion either by eliminating the defect (repair) or by delivering a defect-free item (replacement delivery). If the subsequent performance fails, you are entitled to withdraw from the contract. This does not apply in the case of insignificant defects. A right to a price reduction is excluded.

(2) The following applies to entrepreneurs and merchants: Unless expressly agreed otherwise below , the statutory liability for defects shall apply. The following restrictions and shortened deadlines do not apply to claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents • in the event of injury to life, limb or health • in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty and malice • in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations) • within the scope of a guarantee promise, if agreed, or • insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is opened up.
Restrictions vis-à-vis entrepreneurs:
Vis-à-vis entrepreneurs, only our own information and the manufacturer's product descriptions included in the contract shall be deemed to be an agreement on the quality of the goods; we accept no liability for public statements made by the manufacturer or other advertising statements. For entrepreneurs, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured goods is one year from the transfer of risk. The previous sentence does not apply to goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness. The sale of used goods is carried out to the exclusion of any warranty. The statutory limitation periods for recourse remain unaffected.
Note for merchants: Among merchants, the obligation to inspect and give notice of defects as regulated applies. If you fail to give notice as regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not apparent during the inspection. This shall not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.

Guarantees
Macu warrants all of its Products for a period of two years, (i) to be free from defects in design geometry, materials and workmanship and (ii) to comply with the specifications provided to and accepted by Macu, taking into account the limitations standard and limitations of current 3-D printing technologies provided to their normal wear and tear and (iii) their intended use following all of Macu's instructions and requirements (the "General Warranty").
Furthermore, the General Warranty does not include insignificant deviation of the quality of the delivered Products. It is thereby acknowledged that the color of the Product may vary and abrade due to normal wear and tear.

We are always liable without limitation for claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents in the event of injury to life, limb or health, in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty, in the event of warranty promises, if agreed, or insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act applies.

In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely, (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or vicarious agents, our liability shall be limited to the amount of damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.
11. Code of conduct
