2. OFFER ON THE WEBSITE AND IN THE ONLINE STORE

2.1 The information in the online store (e.g. Product descriptions, illustrations, size, weight and other information) do not constitute an assurance of properties or guarantees, unless explicitly stated otherwise. The color values are displayed in the online store as faithfully as possible. However, the original goods may contain deviations from the color values in the online store. Minor color deviations and other variations of the products are possible and due to differences in image capture and display technologies, as well as other reasons. Dancing Queens is not liable for such variations and deviations. The customer cannot derive any rights from typographical errors, product descriptions or obvious errors on the website.

2.2 The offers in the online store are considered non-binding and do not constitute a legally binding offer. Price and product range changes as well as technical changes are reserved at all times.

3. Contract

3.1 The offer in the online store constitutes a non-binding invitation to the customer to order products from Dancing Queens. By clicking on the order button and accepting these terms and conditions, the customer makes a legally binding offer to conclude a contract with regard to the products listed on the order page.

3.2 Immediately after receipt of the order, Dancing Queens confirms receipt of the order by email (hereinafter "order confirmation"). Dancing Queens may accept or reject orders at its sole discretion. In the event that Dancing Queens rejects the order, Dancing Queens may cancel the order without being liable to the customer or third parties. After such a cancellation, any payments already made for the canceled order will be refunded to the customer.

3.3 As soon as Dancing Queens has shipped the products in accordance with the contract, the customer will receive a shipping confirmation by e-mail, in which the shipment of the ordered products is confirmed (hereinafter "shipping confirmation"). A binding purchase contract is only concluded upon receipt of the shipping confirmation by the customer.

The customer is obliged to inspect the delivered products immediately after receipt of the delivery and to notify Dancing Queens in writing by letter or e-mail, stating the detailed defects, within ten (10) calendar days to the address specified in the imprint. After this period, the product is deemed to be free of defects. Returns to Dancing Queens are at the risk of the customer, but on the account of Dancing Queens.

8.6 The right of return without defects is excluded for the following products:

  • Hosiery
  • Top/sports bras

9 RETENTION OF TITLE

The products remain the property of Dancing Queens until full payment has been made. Prior to the transfer of ownership, pledging, transfer as security, processing or transformation is not permitted without the consent of Dancing Queens AG.

10. WARRANTY

10.1 Dancing Queens endeavors to deliver the products in perfect quality and on time and only guarantees that the products have the agreed quality upon transfer of risk. In the event of defects reported in good time, Dancing Queens assumes the warranty regarding the absence of defects in the products purchased by the customer during the statutory warranty period. In the event of defects, Dancing Queens will, at its discretion, (i) repair the defect (repair) or (ii) deliver a defect-free item (replacement). Dancing Queens is liable for replacement deliveries to the same extent as for the original product. If the supplementary delivery fails, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract. This does not apply to insignificant defects. A customer's right to a reduction is excluded, but can be offered by Dancing Queens. All other claims are excluded.

10.2 In order to assert a warranty claim, customers must provide Dancing Queens with the necessary evidence (incl. images and clear communication of what is wrong with the product). All claims are examined on a case-by-case basis. Each product has a certain service life, which depends on the model, the materials used and the individual use of the product. In particular, the warranty does not extend to damage caused by an incorrect fit or stress, by normal wear and tear (e.g. sole wear or natural wear of shoelaces/Velcro fasteners) or damage due to improper, incorrect or negligent use of the product. Defects due to external circumstances and force majeure are also excluded from the warranty. Force majeure is understood to mean an event or a series of related events that lie beyond the reasonable control of Dancing Queens or the customer and Dancing Queens or the customer could not prevent by exercising reasonable care.

11. LIABILITY

11.1 Dancing Queens excludes any liability, regardless of its legal basis, as well as claims for damages against Dancing Queens and any auxiliary persons and vicarious agents. Dancing Queens is in particular not liable for indirect damage and consequential damage due to defects, loss of profit or other personal, property and pure financial damage to the customer. The customer reserves the right to further mandatory legal liability, for example for gross negligence or unlawful intent.

11.2 The customer indemnifies Dancing Queens for product liability claims, insofar as they are responsible for the error triggering the liability.

12. DATA PROTECTION

Dancing Queens AG undertakes to comply with data protection regulations when processing customer data.

If an unlawful and/or unenforceable provision would be lawful or enforceable if part of it were deleted, that part shall be deemed deleted, and the remainder of the provision shall remain in force (unless this would be contrary to the clear intention of the parties, in which case the entire provision in question shall be deemed deleted).

14.4 In the event of disputes, Swiss substantive law shall apply exclusively, to the exclusion of conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG, UN Sales Convention, Vienna Sales Convention) is explicitly excluded.
