3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product in question. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product, or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us your order number whenever you contact us about your order.

5. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

If you wish to make a change to the products you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the products, the timing of supply, or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change, and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see Clause 8 - your rights to end the contract).

6. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

6.1 Minor changes to the products. We may change the products:

(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and

(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.

These changes will not affect your use of the products.

6.2 More significant changes to the products and these terms. In addition, we may make more significant changes to these terms or the products, but if we do so we will notify you, and you may then contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect, and receive a refund for any products paid for but not received.

7. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS

7.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.

7.2 When we will provide the products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you. We work with a distributor who will arrange for the delivery of the products to you via a courier or local postage service as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.

7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to work with our distributor to minimise the effects of the delay. Provided that we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

7.4 When you become responsible for the products. Products will be your responsibility from the time that the products are delivered to the address that you gave us.

7.5 When you own the products. You own the products once we have received payment in full.

7.6 What will happen if you do not give the required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, your delivery address, phone number, email address, etc. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and Clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.7 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:

(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes; or

(b) update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or

(c) make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see Clause 6).

7.8 Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending the supply of a product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 30 days, and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.

8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, and when you decide to end the contract:

(a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see Clause 11.

(b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 8.2.

(c) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see Clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any products where appropriate.

(d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see Clause 8.6.

8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided, and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see Clause 6.2);

(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

(c) there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

(d) we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or

(e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind. For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights are explained in more detail in these terms.

8.4 Our goodwill guarantee. Under relevant EU and UK law (NB. Swiss citizens do not even have such a 14 day right), you would usually have a 14 day period following receipt of the product, to change your mind. However, our goodwill guarantee is more generous, and we offer a 30 day period to change your mind. This goodwill guarantee does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed products (see Clause 11.2).

8.5 How long do I have to change my mind? You have 30 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the product, to change your mind about the product.

8.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see Clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed, where we are not at fault, and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided, but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs that we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

9. HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND)

9.1 Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

(a) Email. Email us at support@mgg.ski. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.

(b) By post. Simply write to us at the following address, including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address: Mont Gele Gear S.à.r.l., Rue du Lignolat 55, 1170 Aubonne, Switzerland.

9.2 Returning products after ending the contract. If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us by sending them back to our distributor. Please follow the instructions on our SHIPPING & RETURNS page. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, you must send your return within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.

9.3 When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

(a) if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or

(b) if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control, or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

In all other circumstances you must pay the costs of return, unless we tell you otherwise.

9.4 What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you (via a courier or similar), we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection. The costs of collection will be the same as our charges for standard delivery.

9.5 How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.6 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

(a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. See our SHIPPING & RETURNS page for information about what handling is acceptable and examples. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

9.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:

(a) Your refund will be made within 14 days from when we receive the products back from you and deem them to be in satisfactory condition. For information about how to return products to us, see Clause 9.2.

(b) In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

10. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

10.1 We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:

(a) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products to you, for example, a delivery address, phone number, email address, etc.; or

(b) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you.

10.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in Clause 10.1, we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you a reasonable sum as compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

10.3 We may withdraw the product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing a product. We will let you know at least 30 days in advance of our stopping the supply of the product in question and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for products which will not be provided.

11. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT

11.1 How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about a product, please contact us. You can write to us at support@mgg.ski or Mont Gele Gear S.à.r.l., Rue du Lignolat 55, 1170 Aubonne, Switzerland.

11.2 Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

11.3 Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products, you must send them back to us. We will pay the costs of postage. Please follow the instructions on our FAQ and SHIPPING & RETURNS pages for a return label.

12. PRICE AND PAYMENT

12.1 Where to find the price for a product. The price of a product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However, please see Clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

12.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date that we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products that we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where a product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge you the lower amount. If a product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums that you have paid, and require the return of any products provided to you.

12.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, only. We will not accept payment by cheque or bank transfer. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them.

12.5 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact our customer support team promptly to let us know.

13. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU

13.1 We are responsible to you only for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are only responsible for loss or damage that you suffer which is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage which is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as referred to at Clause 11.2.

13.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

14. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

How we may use your personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in our PRIVACY & COOKIES POLICY.

15. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, you may transfer our guarantee at Clause 8.4 to a person who has acquired a product. We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item or property.

15.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in Clause 15.2 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

15.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clauses of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.

15.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything that you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things, and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

15.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by the law of Switzerland and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the Swiss courts.
