business relationships. Deviations from these terms andconditions always require express written confirmation
from us, and do not apply for other previous orsubsequent cases. All quotes are subject to change, and are non-binding.
Agreements on prices, dates etc. are only binding once a written order confirmation has been issued by us.
Services not stated in the order confirmation are chargedseparately.

Changes up to the time of delivery, particularly changes serving product development, are excepted. Brochures,
catalogues, diagrams etc. remain ZT’s property, and must not be made accessible to third parties.

In the event of significant changes to the manufacturing costs, we reserve the right to adjust the prices, even for
confirmed orders. Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, the listed prices are understood as being net in
sFr, excl. VAT, ex-works in Sissach, unpackaged.
Payment conditions
The agreed payments are made 30 days net withoutcash discount. Cash discounts are charged later.
If the payment deadline is exceeded, the conventional bank interest must be paid later.
Delivery deadlines
The delivery deadlines are upheld as far as possible. Any responsibility for non-compliance with the delivery
deadlines as a result of unforeseeable circumstances is rejected. In no case can the purchaser derive a
compensation claim or cancel the order as a result of non-compliance with the delivery deadline.
Part-deliveries are permitted at our discretion.
Transportation & insurance
If transportation to the customer’s domicile (only in CH) is arranged by ZT, the conditions are considered as
being insured CIP according to Incoterms, excl. way, strikes etc. In the event of collection by the customer, the
responsibility for transportation and insurance is automatically transferred to the purchaser ex-works in
Sissach, in accordance with the EXW Incoterm.
Complaints
Complaints regarding transport damage or lost deliveries must be immediately lodged by the purchaser with the
company responsible for the transportation. Complaints about quantities or the quality of the delivered item must
be reported to us within 8 days of receiving the delivery.
Cancellation
Placed orders can only be cancelled with ZT’s consent. If it withdraws from the contract, the purchaser commits
to bearing the actual costs incurred or a flat processing fee.
Warranty
Our products have a warranty of no more than 12 months. However, this does not release the purchaser
from its duty to accept items and report defects according to Art. 370 OR (Swiss Code of Obligations). At
the written request of the purchaser, ZT commits to either repairing or replacing, at its discretion, all parts
proven to have been damaged or made defective as a result of poor materials, defective construction or faulty
design during the warranty period as quickly as possible. Transformation and reduction are not permitted.
Replaced parts become ZT’s property. The warranty period for the main delivery is not extended by individual
warranty work or deliveries. ZT only bears the costs incurred through repairs or
replacement of damaged parts at its own workshop. If the damaged parts cannot be repaired or replaced at
ZT’s workshop for reasons not caused by ZT, all resulting additional costs are borne by the purchaser.
The purchaser must provide any assistants and implements without reimbursement. For items not
installed by us, the assembly and dismantling costs are borne by the purchaser.
Liability
Any further claim by the purchaser or third party for defective delivery, particularly for compensation of
financial losses, as well as dissolution of the contract, is excluded. Liability extending beyond the warranty
services is excluded in the event of delivery as per the contract.
Place of jurisdiction and applicable law
The legal relationship is subject to Swiss law. The
place of jurisdiction and fulfilment is Sissach.
