3. Delivery dates and withdrawing from orders
The delivery dates given by ASSMANN IT-Solutions AG are based on information from our suppliers and depend on punctual delivery on the respective dates. However, ASSMANN ITSolutions AG cannot give any guarantee whatsoever for this and cannot be made liable under any circumstances for consequential damage incurred by the customer due to a late delivery. The customer can only withdraw from his order if ASSMANN IT-Solutions AG is also able to cancel their order from the supplier. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES can goods be returned which were ordered specifically for the customer and marked as such in the order confirmation. Withdrawal from an order by the customer, for whatever reasons, always requires the written agreement of ASSMANN IT-Solutions AG.

Goods are normally shipped ex warehouse of ASSMANN IT-Solutions AG. If nothing else has been agreed, all deliveries including return shipments are made at the risk and expense of the customer. All additional costs such as express deliveries or payment on delivery shipments will be charged additionally. The risk passes from ASSMANN IT-Solutions AG to the customer when the goods are handed over to the carrier. In the event that the goods are collected, the risk is transferred when the goods are handed over to the customer. To cover our costs, we charge a processing surcharge of CHF 15.00 for small deliveries where the invoice amount is less than CHF 50.00 (excl. VAT).


5. Transport damages
The customer must check the goods immediately on receipt for completeness and transport damage. Transport damages are to be reported to the carrier immediately and a copy sent to the ASSMANN IT-Solutions AG. This information helps us with a possible check of the quality of our carriers.
