We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear at the store. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any color will be accurate.

We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at anytime without notice, at the sole discretion of us. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time.

SECTION 7 - CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
(1) The presentation of the products in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalog. By clicking the button "complete order" you place a binding order for the goods contained in the shopping cart.
(2) The confirmation of receipt of your order is sent together with the acceptance of the order immediately after sending by automated e-mail. With this e-mail confirmation, the purchase contract is concluded.
(3) The order processing and contacting usually take place by e-mail. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct, so that the e-mails sent by sealed.ch can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by sealpod.ch or by third parties commissioned by sealed.ch to process the order can be delivered.
SECTION 8 - EXECUTION OF THE CONTRACT
As far as the order has been confirmed, sealpod.ch strives, but is not obliged, to deliver the order within 2 workdays after receipt of payment, unless different delivery times are indicated for the individual products.
sealpod.ch is entitled to deliver goods equivalent in quality and price, if the ordered goods are not available and the customer has given his consent to this procedure.
The delivery of goods is made by shipping to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the sealpod.ch order processing is decisive.
If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by sealpod.ch as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs of the first delivery, if the customer exercises his right of revocation effectively. For the return costs, if the customer effectively exercises the right of withdrawal, the provisions out of our return policy are valid.
Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
sealpod.ch provides an e-mail address for questions of the customer in connection with the products (hello@sealpod.ch). sealpod.ch endeavors but is not obligated to respond to all inquiries within 72 hours.
If sealpod.ch has not delivered the goods within 90 days from order confirmation, the customer may terminate the contract without a notice period. Further rights and claims of the customer remain unaffected.
SECTION 9 - TERMS OF PAYMENT
sealpod.ch will issue an invoice to the customer for the ordered goods, which will be handed over to the customer upon delivery of the goods or sent by e-mail, unless the corresponding information is already included in the confirmation e-mail. The customer waives the sending of a paper invoice.
sealpod.ch delivers against credit card, PayPal or Twint. Availability of payment options may differ.
Payments are made securely through our payment service providers, who offer you various payment options. Details regarding the collection and use of your payment data can be found in the privacy policy.
Your credit card or bank account will be charged upon completion of the order.
