General terms and conditions of Melanova Fusion GmbH, Lucerne

Validity from January 1st, 2020


Art. 1 Scope and form

The following General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply exclusively to all contracts concluded between Melanova Fusion GmbH and its clients, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing. Changes or additions to these terms and conditions therefore always require the written form. Deviating terms and conditions of the client only come into effect if and to the extent that they have been recognized in writing by Melanova Fusion GmbH.


Art. 2 Services and placing of orders

1. Every business relationship between Melanova Fusion GmbH and its customers is regulated in an offer in which the scope of services and the remuneration are recorded. The type of services and works in detail results from the concepts, offers, proposed measures or individual orders developed by Melanova Fusion GmbH.

2. The offers prepared in writing by Melanova Fusion GmbH are generally binding (cf. Art. 3 and 4 of the Swiss Code of Obligations), unless the wording to the contrary indicates the contrary. The client confirms binding offers in writing (letter, e-mail or fax), whereby the corresponding contract is deemed to have been concluded, provided this acceptance is made within the set acceptance period. 3. Any updates and changes to offers and orders will be stipulated in writing by both parties and will be part of the contractual relationship as an additional agreement.

3. Any additional work that arises due to changes, additions or extensions to the order initiated or requested by the client will be billed as an additional service at the agreed hourly rate.

4. According to these General Terms and Conditions, Melanova Fusion GmbH is entitled, according to its own assessment, to call in additional external service providers or external entrepreneurs for the contractual fulfillment of the order or contract for work. Such third parties have the legal qualifications of vicarious agents (Art. 101 OR).


Art. 3 Remuneration and external costs

1. Melanova Fusion GmbH invoices its services, unless expressly agreed otherwise in individual cases, according to the workload on the basis of the agreed hourly rate.
