b) legal persons who are domiciled in Switzerland or in a member state of the European Union
(hereinafter referred to as "Customers"). Should an offer for an unaccepted customer be mistakenly taken on by Speedelec Engineering, then Speedelec Engineering is entitled to declare its withdrawal from the contract with the customer within an appropriate period.

3. Object of the contract

Speedelec Engineering shall deliver the goods ordered by the customer, or provide the services, within the framework of the acceptance of the offer. If a withdrawal/cancellation takes place, Speedelec Engineering is obliged to immediately credit to the customer's account any instalments and/or advance payments that may have been paid or, if requested, to repay them by means of a bank transfer. 

4. Conclusion of contract

4.1 The contract is concluded after Speedelec Engineering accepts the customer's order.
Acceptance by Speedelec Engineering takes place when the customer receives the goods after they have been sent by Speedelec Engineering, or when the service to the customer is performed by Speedelec Engineering. If the customer places an order via the Internet, Speedelec Engineering shall promptly confirm the receipt of the order by electronic means. But the confirmation of the order does not yet constitute an acceptance of the contract.

4.2 The language of the contract is french.

5. Unavailability of ordered goods or service

Should Speedelec Engineering find after the order has been received that the ordered item or service is no longer available from Speedelec Engineering, any payments that have already been made shall be immediately reimbursed. Speedelec Engineering may choose to send, offer or provide to the customer an item or service of the same quality and price. In such a case, the customer is not obliged to accept. Speedelec Engineering shall bear the cost if such an item is returned by post.
 

6. Delivery/shipping costs

6.1 Unless the contractual parties have made other arrangements regarding the delivery time, Speedelec Engineering shall deliver the goods by transferring physical possession of the goods or control over the goods to you as customer, promptly, and not later than 30 (thirty) days after conclusion of the contract.
 

6.2 If Speedelec Engineering fails to comply with its obligation to deliver the goods at the time arranged with you as the customer, or within the set period stated in clause 1, then as the customer you shall then ask Speedelec Engineering to make the delivery within an extended deadline appropriate to the circumstances. If Speedelec Engineering does not deliver the goods within this extended deadline, then as the customer you are entitled to withdraw from the contract.
 

6.3 If the customer orders a shipment using the 24-hour service, and the goods do not arrive even within a reasonable grace period that may be appropriate in certain cases, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract and return the goods to Speedelec Engineering. Claims for damages are excluded in such cases, unless Speedelec Engineering had acted intentionally or in gross negligence.

6.4 Speedelec Engineering shall take care to ensure a quick delivery, subject to its receiving the goods from its supplier. If part of the order cannot be delivered immediately, the remaining items shall be delivered later without recalculating the flat rate for shipping.

6.5 The shipping and handling costs are based on the value of the order and as well on the selected logistics service. 

6.7 Some products, which are imported from the USA by Speedelec Engineering and/or are manufactured in the USA, are subject to the export control regulations of the USA and other countries, in particular Germany. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the export control regulations are complied with, and he undertakes to obtain all the required export licences and other necessary documents, at his own expense, before the products and/or technical information that he is to receive from Speedelec Engineering are exported.
 

The customer also undertakes to neither directly nor indirectly sell, export, re-export, supply or otherwise pass on any products or technical information that are subject to export control regulations, to persons, companies (enterprises) or countries where this infringes against the US American or other, in particular German, export control laws, directives, restrictions and provisions. The customer undertakes to inform all the recipients of these products or technical information about the need to comply with these laws and directives.

If an authority refuses to grant an export permit, this does not entitle the customer to withdraw from the contract or to claims for damages. Speedelec Engineering is not obliged to issue to the customer a supplier's declaration or a long-term supplier's declaration, or to obtain such from its own suppliers.
