Terms and Conditions

  • Scope of Application

      1. Kiara Naturals GmbH, Schwäbrig 833, 9056 Gais, Switzerland registered with the Commercial Register of Appenzell Ausserrhoden under company number CHE- 406.265.875 (hereinafter “Kiara or “we” or “us” or other similar pronouns) offers the goods displayed on its website www.kiaranaturals.com/pro for sale and / or distribution according to the terms and Conditions together with the documents referred to in them (hereinafter “T&C”). 
      2. These T&C constitute a legally binding agreement between you (hereinafter the “Buyer” or “you or other similar pronouns) and Kiara regarding the sale of the goods in Europe (the “Territory“).
      3. Our web shop shall only be made available for registered business users.
  • Order

      1. The order is placed in our web shop by adding the goods to the shopping basket, selecting the payment method, confirming these T&Cs and clicking the “Buy Now” button on the order page. Until this button is clicked, the Buyer can place the products in the shopping basket without obligation and change the data provided at any time by using the correction aids provided for this purpose in the order process. Sending the order is deemed to be the Buyer’s offer to Kiara to conclude a contract. 
      2. Placing the order in our web shop shall under no circumstances be deemed to be a legally binding offer to conclude the contract. The order is only accepted with the dispatch of the order confirmation by Kiara. The order confirmation shall constitute acceptance without reservations or restrictions of these T&C.
      3. Terms and conditions of sale or other terms and conditions of the Buyer will not become part of the agreement between Kiara and the Buyer even if they are not expressly objected or in express contradiction to any clause in these T&C. Should the purchase order have been issued as part of an individual agreement, the provisions of that agreement shall prevail over these T&C.
  • Conclusion of Contract

      1. The presentation of the products in the online shop does not constitute a binding offer in the legal sense, but a non-binding online catalogue.
      2. By confirming the T&C, the Buyer accepts the T&Cs in the version applicable at the time the offer is made.
      3. The acceptance of the order and thereby the conclusion of the contract shall only take place by means of an order confirmation, which shall contain a unique reference number.
      4. Before sending the order confirmation, Kiara checks the order and the availability of the ordered products.
      5. Any payments already made by the Buyer prior to the dispatch of the order confirmation are subject to reservation. If the contract is not concluded, any payments already made by the Buyer will be refunded, but without any interest.
