   2. OPEND hereby explicitly refuses to apply the customer’s Terms of Business and Sale. Such Terms can only be included in the agreements concluded between the contracting parties if explicitly confirmed in writing by OPEND.
   3. The Terms and prices, products and guidelines may change from time to time and OPEND has complete discretion to make subsequent revisions.
   4. The Terms of Sale are deemed accepted and to have legal effect when OPEND communicates the valid Terms of Sale to the customer and an order is subsequently placed by the customer. A customer must view these Terms before placing an order, so that they are aware of the valid version of the Terms.
   5. In the event that any provision of these Terms should be invalid or incomplete, this shall not affect the other provisions of these Terms. An invalid or incomplete provision shall be deemed to be replaced by another provision, which shall be as close as possible in purpose and economic content to the invalid provision.
   6. Any customer who wishes to make a purchase on the website undertakes and guarantees that they are doing so solely on their own account, are at least 18 years old, are fully legally competent or have obtained appropriate permission from a parent or guardian.
   7. “Consumers“ as used in these Terms are natural persons who conclude a contract with OPEND for purposes which are not chiefly of a commercial type or serve in the performance of activities by self-employed business people.
   8. “Businesspersons“ as used in these Terms are any customers who are acting in their capacity as commercially active business people or in the context of their activities as freelance business people.
2. ACCOUNTS
   1. A customer can set up an account or purchase products as a “guest”.
   2. The customer undertakes to give full, correct and up-to-date information and regularly amend outdated or incorrect data.
   3. To create an account, the customer must enter certain personal data, including their email address and password, in order to be able to access their account. The personal data which the customer is required to state to OPEND via the website falls under OPEND’s data protection guidelines, which can be read and downloaded on the website. You hereby acknowledge and state yourself to be in agreement with the fact that the transfer of data over the internet is never wholly private and secure and that the messages or data sent to the website by the customer can be read or intercepted by other persons, even if it is specifically indicated that the certain data (for example credit card details) are transferred in encrypted form.
   4. The customer must ensure that their access details always remain secret. The customer is responsible for all activities which take place via their account (including but not limited to the purchase of products made via the account).
   5. OPEND does not accept any liability for losses or damage which arise as a result of the customer not complying with the above obligations. OPEND may at any time, at its discretion, cancel the account or temporarily block the customer's access to the website or suspend use by the customer if OPEND has reasonable grounds to assume that (a) the customer is violating the present provisions, (b) a third party is using the account without the customer's consent, or (c) if OPEND has to cancel or temporarily suspend the account for security reasons or for maintenance purposes.
3. PRODUCT FEATURES AND AVAILABILITY
   1. The essential features of the products offered for sale at www.opend.ch are described on the website.

   3. Depending on availability, the products offered for sale and their prices are valid while they are offered for sale at www.opend.ch.
   4. If contrary to expectations, a product should no longer be available after an order has been placed or the probable delivery date changes, an email message will immediately be sent to the address given by the customer when placing the order. Notwithstanding existing legal claims, a customer who is a consumer may cancel or make changes to their order at no additional cost prior to dispatch of the goods. If the customer is a businessperson, he shall grant OPEND a reasonable extension if it proves impossible to respect the delivery date.
4. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
   1. The images of goods in catalogues, advertising media and on the website are not legally binding and do not constitute an offer to conclude a purchase contract.
   2. At the end of the ordering process, the customer places a binding offer for the purchase of the selected products. The order process is completed when the payment is charged to the account indicated by the customer.
   3. Once the ordering process is completed, an email summarizing the order and acknowledging receipt will be sent to the email address the customer has provided. This order confirmation does not constitute a binding acceptance of the customer’s offer.
   4. The contract shall be deemed as concluded upon written confirmation by OPEND. OPEND reserves the right to reject a customer as contractual party without giving any reasons for such decision. The submission of an offer by the customer does not give entitlement to the conclusion of a contract.
