These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") govern the relationship between Aurelior Switzerland (hereinafter "Seller") and the customer (hereinafter "Customer") for transactions via the Aurelior online shop Switzerland ( https://www.aurelior.com / https://www.aurelior.ch ) (hereinafter "Online Shop"). The version of the GTC valid at the time of the order applies. Unless expressly stated otherwise, these GTC also apply to the purchase of watches from the Certified Pre-Owned range (hereinafter "CPO" or "CPO watches").

1.2. Customers can access the Terms and Conditions via links during the ordering process in the online store, save them on their computers and/or print them.

1.3. The goods offered in the online shop are only available to adult consumers residing in Switzerland who can provide a delivery address in Switzerland. A consumer within the meaning of this provision is any natural person who concludes a contract for purposes that are not predominantly related to their commercial or independent professional activity. Commercial purchases are excluded. In particular, the commercial resale and distribution of goods ordered in the online shop is not permitted.

3. Conclusion of contract

3.1 The online shop serves as an invitation to the customer to submit offers for the goods presented in the online shop.

3.2. A binding order is only placed when the customer has entered all the required information, confirmed that they have read these terms and conditions and clicked the "Order with payment" button (hereinafter "order"). Until this point, the customer can select products from the seller's range without obligation and add them to the shopping cart using the "Add to cart" button. Before placing the order, the customer can view and change the order using the "Checkout" button. By placing the order, the customer makes an offer to the seller to conclude a contract.

3.3. After placing the order, the customer will receive an automatic order confirmation by email, which lists the contents of the order. This automatic confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the offer, but merely confirms receipt of the order.

3.4. The Seller reserves the right to accept or reject the order. The Seller is not obliged to conclude a contract based on the order. Orders may be cancelled or rejected if these Terms and Conditions are violated or if there is a suspicion of a violation. This may be the case, for example, if a customer has not paid for a previous order or if insufficient credit card coverage was found for a previous order. In addition, orders may be cancelled or rejected if a customer has a suspiciously high return rate that has not improved despite notifications. Commercial buyers may also be cancelled if the suspicion cannot be refuted. The customer will be notified of such cancellations or rejections by email.

3.5. The contract is only concluded when the seller expressly declares acceptance of the order. The seller is entitled, but not obliged, to accept the customer's order within 7 days of receipt. Acceptance occurs when the seller sends the customer an order confirmation.
