Terms and Conditions of Sale Keep Rock Insane

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) apply to all contracts concluded between you, as the customer (hereinafter referred to as “purchaser” or “buyer”), and us, as the operator (hereinafter referred to as “seller,” “Keep Rock Insane,” or “KRI”), of the online store www.keep-rock-insane.com and its other platforms.

As part of the ordering process, you acknowledge the GTC in their version valid at the time of placing your order. To be binding, all oral or telephone agreements must be confirmed in writing. This requirement for written form is also fulfilled when a statement is contained in an email.

Our general terms and conditions are also an integral part of our terms of use.

1. Formation of the Contract

1.1. The presentation of products in the online store is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a legally binding offer. This presentation does not constitute a legally binding offer.

1.2. The offer to conclude a sales contract originates from the customer when, after fully completing the order page, they click on the “order” button. By clicking the “order” button, you express your firm intention to place an order for the goods contained in the cart. Only orders placed through the online store are valid.

1.3. We accept the contract by confirming the order via email that the merchandise has left our warehouse, or at the latest, upon delivery of the merchandise. The contract is formed only for the items explicitly listed on the shipping confirmation.

1.4. The contract is concluded in French language. The data saved by us serves as proof of the conclusion of the contract and the transaction.

No claim for a subsequent price adjustment or credit note will be considered. There are also local, regional, and national promotions, discounts, and reductions available.

Only individuals over 18 years old are eligible to place an order on our platforms. Individuals under the age of 18 who wish to place an order must have written consent from their legal guardian.

Please note that our online store is primarily intended for the needs of private customers. Therefore, we are unable to subsequently issue invoices, receipts, or VAT statements for your orders.

3. Delivery and Transfer of Risk

3.1 The seller carries out deliveries in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. Delivery costs are invoiced to the customer regardless of the value of the goods ordered. The postage cost is based on the rate applied by Swiss Post, using the “PostPac Economy” tariff. The delivery is made directly to the name and address of the contact person provided by the buyer.

The seller also makes deliveries within the European Union and outside the European Union. Delivery costs are charged to the customer regardless of the value of the goods. The postage cost is based on the rate applied by Swiss Post, using the “PostPac International” tariff. Deliveries to destinations within the European Union or outside the European Union may incur additional costs and are not covered by KRI. These costs generally relate to the importation requirements specific to the destination country of the goods. All of these costs are the responsibility of the buyer, and we decline any responsibility regarding the amounts or procedures involved. Delivery is made directly to the name and shipping address provided by the buyer.

The prices listed in the online store at the time of ordering are applicable. The prices indicated include the legally applicable value-added tax (VAT). Additional shipping fees and other potential charges related to the payment method (e.g., cash-on-delivery fees) will be added.

An email is sent to the customer once the goods have left our premises.

3.2 Delivery occurs provided that we ourselves have been supplied in a timely and proper manner by our suppliers. In the event of force majeure such as strikes and other social movements, riots, war, natural disasters, as well as in case of cessation of deliveries by the manufacturer or upstream supplier, there is no delay in delivery. KRI assumes no responsibility for delivery delays attributable to third parties.

3.3 If not all ordered goods are in stock, we reserve the right to make partial deliveries. If it turns out, after the conclusion of the contract, that the goods cannot be delivered, either partially or in full, for reasons not attributable to KRI, the customer has the right to terminate the contract.

3.4. Our service consists of an obligation to dispatch; it is fulfilled upon handing over the shipment to the transport provider. After dispatch, the risk of accidental damage and loss of the goods passes to the customer. We are not obliged to assume fault from the transport company.

3.5 The delivery period begins once the customer receives an email confirming receipt of the order. It includes order processing and shipping.

Except under extraordinary conditions (see paragraphs 3.2, 3.3, 3.4), the delivery times* are as follows:

• Switzerland and Liechtenstein: 5 to 7 business days.

• European Union: 10 to 12 business days.

• Outside the European Union: 15 to 20 business days.

*Delivery times are indicative and are not contractually binding.

4. Returns/Right of Withdrawal

4.1 If one or more products from your order do not satisfy you, you have a period of 14 calendar days from the date of delivery to return them to us. In the case of partial deliveries, the delivery period is extended until you have received all the products ordered.

4.2 Returned items must be returned in full, in their original packaging, accompanied by the delivery note provided with the goods. The item can be returned provided it has only been tried on, as it would be in a store, and that said item is complete and intact. They must not have been used/worn and must not have incurred any damage. The official Keep Rock Insane label must still be sealed on the product, and the tightening clip must not be damaged.

If upon receipt of your return (whether complete or partial), any of these conditions are not met, the product will not be refunded to you. Discount vouchers and special offers are not re-issued.

4.3 The costs associated with returning the products are not covered by KRI. If KRI were to incur costs associated with a return of goods, these will be deducted from the refund you are entitled to. Please request confirmation of your return (shipment) and keep it for your records. In case of loss or theft of the parcel, your return can only be refunded upon presentation of this document.

If the return is properly conducted, the costs will be covered by KRI in the following cases:

• error in the delivery of items

• incorrect information on the online store

• receipt of an unordered item

To make a return, simply send back the goods within the specified period to the address provided below and follow the return instructions under the “Return of Goods” section on our website or any other online platform.

Switzerland

4.4 Upon proper and complete return of the merchandise, the total paid price will be refunded to the customer via a credit entry. Refunds are always processed using the original payment method used during the purchase.

If your purchase was made using a gift card, the value of the returned merchandise is credited to your customer account as store credit. In this specific case, we do not process any refund requests to online payment methods (credit cards, postal account, TWINT) or in cash.

4.5 For technical reasons, we cannot process any order cancellations. In such cases, please refuse the delivery. After receiving the package, an email will be sent to you confirming the processing of your merchandise return, and the purchase amount will be automatically refunded to you.

We refund your returned goods based on the payment method you chose to pay for your order.

5. Payment

5.1 Orders are payable immediately.

5.2 Payment for the order is processed either by credit card or direct debit card, as provided and available on our website and platforms. If payment is made by credit or debit card, the transmitted data is secure and confidential (see point 5.4).

KRI requests that you provide the security code (CVV/CVC) of your credit card, in addition to the card number, expiry date, and issuing company. The security code (CVV/CVC) is a 3-digit or 4-digit number located on the back of your credit card, ensuring the security of payments on online platforms.

5.3 As a customer, you only have rights of set-off or retention to the extent that your claim has been judicially established by a final and binding court decision or is undisputed. This provision does not derogate from your rights in case of defects in the delivered goods.

5.4 To maximize payment protection when making a purchase on any of our platforms, we utilize verification services for each payment method. Your card data is also protected by an additional password. This means that it is virtually impossible to use your card data for fraudulent purposes. During the process, an additional window generated by your bank will appear, prompting you to enter your personal password. Your bank then verifies this password and validates the transaction. And thus, we both have mutual certainty about our respective identities.

6. Obligation to inspect and claim, liability for defects

6.1 You are required, as soon as the normal course of business allows, to check the delivered products and to report any defects found to our customer service at info@keep-rock-insane.com without delay. If you fail to do so, the products are deemed to have been accepted. Acceptance is in any case deemed to have occurred if the customer has not sent a complaint via email to customer service within a calendar period of 8 days after receiving the goods.

6.2. Defects that are not identifiable despite thorough inspection as per the previous paragraph must be reported via email to info@keep-rock-insane.com immediately upon discovery. Failure to do so will be deemed as acceptance of the ordered products concerning these defects as well.

6.3. The defective product will be returned along with a copy of the invoice and a detailed description of the defect(s). The return address will be communicated to the buyer via email upon receipt of their written complaint. The transportation costs incurred are covered by KRI.

6.4. We provide a warranty service by rectifying defects, which occurs at our discretion through either secondary performance, such as defect removal (rework), or by delivering defect-free goods (replacement). The replaced products become the property of KRI, the seller.

6.5. If the secondary performance is not successful, the customer is entitled to terminate the contract. These provisions do not apply in the case of minor defects. Any right of the customer to a price reduction is excluded. This exclusion of liability also extends to all claims competing with warranty rights, whether arising from the contract (Articles 97 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations), from unlawful acts (Articles 41 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations), from contesting the contract for mistake (Articles 23 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations), etc.

6.6. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, as well as consequences resulting from improper handling or damage by the buyer or third parties, and defects attributable to external circumstances.

Items that have been worn, soiled, or damaged are specifically excluded from the warranty.

6.7. The customer does not receive legal warranties from the seller. Manufacturer warranties are not affected.

KRI assumes no responsibility for descriptions written by third parties, including customers, on the online shop, nor for customer comments published on our social media channels.

7. Reservation of title

All goods delivered remain the property of KRI until fully paid for.

8. Liability

All cases of contractual violations and their legal consequences, as well as all rights of the customer, regardless of the title under which they are asserted, are definitively regulated in these terms and conditions. Any other rights of the customer—regardless of their legal basis—are, to the extent permitted by law, excluded. Neither the seller nor its agents and possible executing auxiliaries assume any liability for damages that did not occur on the merchandise itself, including consequential damages, loss of profit, or any other material losses suffered by the buyer.

9. Electronic communication

You agree that communication regarding the contract may be conducted electronically.

10. Printing and information errors

We decline any responsibility for potential printing errors in our advertising materials as well as for information errors that appear in our online store due to minor negligence. We decline any responsibility for incorrect prices, errors in illustrations, product descriptions, or other texts such as vouchers or promotional campaigns. Lastly, we decline any responsibility for delayed or missed deliveries.

12. Contract language / registration of order text

The language of the contract is French. We do not record the text of the contract, which means that this text cannot be consulted after the completion of the ordering process. However, you can print the order information immediately after sending it.

13. Dispute resolution: alternatives

It is our policy not to participate in dispute resolution procedures before a mediator in this matter, and we are not obligated to do so.

14. Intellectual property law and other rights
