1. SCOPE

These GTC govern the legal relationship between Turicum Distillery GmbH and its customers with regard to all contracts concluded between the parties. Any provisions of the buyer that conflict with these GTC are hereby expressly excluded.

​

​

2. OFFER AND DELIVERY AREA

The offer is visible on the website www.turicum-distillery.com and is non-binding. We reserve the right to change prices and the product range as well as to make technical changes. Product offers are only valid as long as they are visible on the website and while stocks last. Product information such as ingredient details, images, etc. serve primarily for illustration purposes and are non-binding. The seller limits deliveries to the territory of Switzerland. Delivery is made directly to the delivery address and contact person provided by the customer.

3. ACCESSING OUR WEBSITE
When you visit our website, our servers temporarily store every access in a log file. As is fundamentally the case with every connection to a web server, the following technical data is recorded without your intervention and stored by us until automated deletion after 12 months at the latest: • the IP address of the requesting computer, • the name of the owner of the IP address range (usually your internet access provider), • the date and time of access, • the website from which the access was made (referrer URL), if applicable including the search term used, • the name and URL of the retrieved file, • the status code (e.g., error message), • the operating system of your computer, • the browser you are using (type, version, and language), • the transmission protocol used (e.g., HTTP/1.1)​

​

The collection and processing of this data is carried out for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (connection establishment), permanently ensuring system security and stability, enabling the optimization of our internet presence, and for internal statistical purposes. This constitutes our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

​

​

4. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT VIA

WWW.TURICUM-DISTILLERY.COM

On www.turicum-distillery.com, by submitting their order and simultaneously accepting these GTC, the buyer submits a legally binding offer to conclude a contract. The contract is concluded at the time the buyer receives an order confirmation by e-mail from Turicum Distillery GmbH. Confirmed orders can no longer be canceled or changed by the customer.

If you wish to place orders in our online shop, we require the following data for processing the contract: • First and last name • Billing address (and delivery address if different) • Payment details (depending on the chosen payment method)

​

​

5. PRICES AND DELIVERY COSTS

All prices are in Swiss Francs (CHF) including VAT. We reserve the right to change the prices, conditions, and vintages stated on the website, whereby the date of the order shall apply as the reference date. Delivery costs for B-Post, postage, and packaging shall be paid by the customer and are calculated as follows: (as of March 2020)

B-Post • up to 2 kg = CHF 10.00 • up to 10 kg = CHF 14.00 • up to 30 kg = CHF 26.00 A-Post • up to 2 kg = CHF 12.00 • up to 10 kg = CHF 16.00 • up to 30 kg = CHF 28.00

​

​

6. OVERVIEW OF FEES

​

​

7. PAYMENT

Invoices are payable net cash on delivery, in cash, or within 30 days, unless otherwise agreed. Payment can also be made by credit card via Stripe or via PayPal. Delivery is generally made postage unpaid, i.e., at the expense of the buyer via parcel post, unless expressly agreed otherwise. A payment is only considered made when we have disposal of the amount. If the buyer is in default, we are entitled to charge interest at a rate of 10% from that point in time. For the duration of the default, Turicum Distillery GmbH is also entitled at any time to withdraw from the contract, demand the return of the delivered goods, and claim damages for the cancellation of the contract. All receivables become due immediately if the customer is in default of payment, culpably fails to comply with other essential obligations under the contract, or if we become aware of circumstances that are likely to reduce the creditworthiness of the customer, in particular cessation of payments, or the filing of a composition or bankruptcy proceeding. In these cases, we are entitled to withhold outstanding deliveries or to execute them only against advance payment or security.

​

​

8. DELIVERY

Possession and risk of loss pass to the buyer when the goods are handed over for shipment. Information regarding availability and delivery times is not binding unless confirmed in writing by the seller. Subject to stock availability, delivery usually takes place within 5 working days.

​

​

9. WARRANTY AND DEFECTS

The buyer must report obvious defects by e-mail to info@turicum-distillery.com no later than 5 days after receipt of the delivery. Hidden defects must be reported by e-mail immediately, but no later than within 5 days after discovery. If the buyer fails to report the defect in a timely manner, their warranty claims shall expire.

The defective goods must be returned with a copy of the invoice and a detailed description of the error. The return address will be communicated to the customer by e-mail after receipt of the written complaint. Any incurred transport costs shall be borne by the buyer. In the event of a warranty claim, the seller decides whether to grant a reduction in the purchase price, provide a replacement, or refund the purchase price. Excluded from the warranty are damages for which the buyer is solely responsible, e.g., as a result of improper handling, incorrect storage, or external influences for which the seller is not responsible. Products ordered by the customer by mistake will neither be taken back nor refunded.

​

​

10. LIABILITY

Other claims by the buyer – regardless of the legal basis – are excluded to the extent permitted by law. The seller, its auxiliary persons, and any vicarious agents are not liable for damages that did not occur to the goods themselves, in particular not for consequential damages, lost profit, or other financial losses of the buyer.

​

​

11. SALE OF ALCOHOLIC

BEVERAGES TO MINORS

Turicum Distillery GmbH does not sell or deliver spirits or alcoholic beverages to children or persons under the age of 18. In order to strictly comply with Swiss legal regulations (in particular the Alcohol Act and Swiss food legislation), we carry out an active age verification for every purchase. The purchase agreement is concluded only after the successful verification of the customer's legal age.

​

​

11.1. ONLINE ORDERS WITH SHIPPING

As part of the online ordering process, the customer is required to upload a clear photograph or copy of a valid government-issued photo ID (identity card, passport or driver's licence). Orders without valid proof of age will not be processed. Turicum Distillery GmbH undertakes to use the uploaded identification documents exclusively for the purpose of one-time age verification. The data will be treated as strictly confidential in accordance with Swiss data protection regulations and will be permanently and irrevocably deleted immediately after successful verification.

​

​

11.2. ON-SITE COLLECTION (CLICK & COLLECT) AND PURCHASES IN OUR STORE

For online orders with the "Click & Collect" option, as well as for purchases made directly at our premises, a personal age verification is mandatory. Goods will only be handed over upon presentation of a valid government-issued photo ID (identity card, passport or driver's licence) to the purchaser or to an authorised person who can prove they are of legal age. Uploading an ID online in advance does not exempt the customer from presenting the original identification document upon collection.

​

​

11.3. VIOLATION OF THE MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT

By submitting an order or making a purchase on site, the customer confirms that the age information provided is correct. Should the verification process (digital or in person) reveal that the purchaser is under the age of 18, the goods will not be handed over and the transaction will be cancelled. Any payments already made will be refunded, less a processing fee.

​

​

12. DISCLOSURE OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

​

21. GOOGLE ADS
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie will be set on your computer by Google Ads. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies, or by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com" are blocked. Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

​

​

21. GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the person responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the data processing for Google Analytics is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google".

The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your use in the settings there under "My data", "Personal data".

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been expanded to include the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized recording of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you can be assigned to a person, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website use and internet use to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics.

In addition, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This stores a so-called opt-out cookie on your data carrier, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that when deleting all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies are also deleted, i.e. you must set the opt-out cookies again if you want to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.

26. ONLINE SHOP / WEB SHOP
We process our customers' data in accordance with the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP) and the EU GDPR within the scope of the ordering processes in our online shop, in order to enable them to select and order the selected products and services as well as their payment and delivery or processing.

The processed data includes master data (inventory data), communication data, contract data, payment data and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, interested parties and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the framework of the operation of an online shop, billing, delivery and customer service. In this context, we use session cookies, e.g. to store the contents of the shopping cart, and permanent cookies, e.g. to store the login status. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b (execution of ordering processes) and c (legally prescribed archiving) GDPR. The data marked as required is necessary for the establishment and performance of the contract. We only pass the data on to third parties within the scope of delivery, payment or within the scope of legal permissions and obligations. Data is only processed in third countries if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (e.g. at the customer's request for delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account in which they can view their orders in particular. As part of the registration process, users are provided with the required mandatory information. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines, e.g. Google. If users have terminated their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, provided its retention is necessary for commercial or tax reasons in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Information in the customer account remains until its deletion with subsequent archiving in the event of a legal obligation. It is the responsibility of users to save their data in the event of termination before the end of the contract.

As part of registration and re-registration as well as the use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as those of the users in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. As a general rule, this data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Deletion takes place after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations; the necessity of storing the data is checked at irregular intervals. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry.
