- and any natural or legal person wishing to make a purchase via the Avinas SA website, hereinafter referred to as the Client.
The acquisition of a property through this site implies an unreserved acceptance by the Customer of these general terms and conditions of sale.
Avinas SA reserves the right to modify its general terms and conditions of sale at any time. In this case, the applicable conditions will be those in force on the date of the order by the Customer.
2 - Characteristics of the proposed properties
The products sold are those listed in the catalog published on the Avinas SA website. These products are available for sale within the limits of available stocks. The characteristics of the products as well as the photos visible on the site are given only as an indication. The photographs in the catalog are as accurate as possible but cannot ensure perfect similarity with the product offered, particularly with regard to colors and cannot have any contractual value. In case of unavailability of a product, we will inform you as soon as possible.
3 - Rates
The prices in the catalog are prices including VAT in Swiss francs taking into account the VAT applicable on the day of the order; any change in the rate may be reflected in the price of the products. Avinas SA reserves the right to modify its prices at any time and without notice, it being understood, however, that the price appearing in the catalog on the day of the order will be the only one applicable to the Customer. Avinas SA reserves the right not to deliver products whose prices are incorrect, but undertakes to inform its customers of a price difference and to offer alternative products. Avinas SA can carry out sales or promotions on its catalog. These offers are only valid during the period of publication on the site and cannot be requested retroactively.
Avinas SA also offers a tool to display prices and place orders in another currency. The exchange rate applied is regularly updated but Avinas SA cannot accept any claim related to a difference between the exchange rate applied and the exchange rate in force. Any bank charges resulting from payment made by the Customer in another currency remain at his expense.
Purchase vouchers or discounts distributed on or via partner sites are only valid under the conditions set out in the offer. These purchase orders or discounts can only be used when ordering and must be used in the field provided for this purpose. Under no circumstances may a voucher or discount be applied retroactively.
The Customer has the possibility to have his order delivered to his home: in this case delivery costs will be added to the prices of the products and will be displayed in the "shopping basket" section. Shipping costs are calculated according to the weight and volume of the order as well as the delivery address.

The Customer, who wishes to purchase a product on the Avinas SA website, must go through the various stages of the purchasing process (summary of the products chosen and placed in the basket, identification, choice of address and delivery method and choice of payment and settlement method under the conditions provided). The confirmation of the order implies acceptance of these terms and conditions of sale, recognition of having full knowledge of them and waiver of the right to invoke its own terms and conditions of purchase or other conditions. All the data provided, and the recorded confirmation will be worth proof of the transaction. The confirmation will be worth signature and acceptance of the operations carried out.
