1.  Scope of the Contract

​

FairFem sells the goods and provides the services offered in the online shop to consumers (hereinafter referred to as ‘you’ or the ‘customer’) according to the general terms and conditions (T&Cs) listed below. 

​

This website is owned and operated by FairFem, Konstanzerstrasse 42A, 8280 Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.  The contracting party is FairFem.  

​

These Terms set forth the terms and conditions under which you may use our website and services as offered by us.  

​

2.  Binding Terms and Conclusion of the Contract

By placing an order with FairFem, you agree to these T&Cs.  When buying an item (by clicking the button 'Place Order'), you agree that: (i) you are responsible for reading the full item listing before making a commitment to buy it: (ii) you enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item and you complete the check-out payment process.

 

The contract is deemed valid amongst both parties when FairFem sends an order confirmation to your provided email address.  This will be sent immediately after the order is processed, assuming all provided information is complete and accurate.  Please note that FairFem has the right to reject the order based on insufficient information provided by the buyer, payment processing issues, amongst other circumstances.  An agreement is not entered into until both parties accept the order.

 

The goods remain property of FairFem until full payment is received.

​

3.  Terms of Pricing and Payment

​

The prices we charge for purchasing our products and services are listed on the website. We reserve the right to change our prices for products and services displayed at any time, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur.  Prices apply which are listed at the time of an order.

​

The prices are notated in Swiss Francs (CHF) and include the Swiss Value-Added Tax of 8,1%.  Payment is made in advance.  Additional information about payment options is available here.

​

4.  Terms of Shipping & Delivery

​

All shipments are dispatched by Swiss Post and are only shipped within Switzerland.  For all orders below 150 CHF, shipping is charged at a flat rate of 10 CHF.  For all orders at and above 150 CHF, shipping is free.  Any shipping costs are calculated on the final Check-Out page.  

​

Delivery is not made until payment is received.

​

Standard handling and delivery time is 2-10 business days.  To minimise our ecological footprint, we make as few shipments as possible per order.  FairFem does not take responsibility for delivery delays when production/shipment delays occur outside of our control (e.g., weather delays, strikes, pandemics, etc) and this does not constitute as a reason for the customer to withdraw from the contract.   Furthermore, shipping may be handled directly by our partners, therefore we reserve the right not to take responsibility for shipping delays. 

​

FairFem does ship internationally.  Any custom fees, taxes, and any other related costs will not be reimbursed or paid by FairFem.
