Should the value exceed the freight forwarder’s limitation of liability, the order is insured against transport damage by Holm AG.
Products that are on stock will be delivered within 3-5 working days to the kerb door of your building. Should an article be out of stock, the expected delivery time is listed under each separate article in the web shop. The stated time of expected delivery is to be considered as tentative and approximate. Please note that your delivery may take longer during busy periods and that we are unable to influence delays due to shipping companies, Swiss customs, factory holidays or other changes in production schedules. Any foreseeable delay in delivery will be communicated to you. Should the lead time exceed the stipulated delivery time with more than 50%, you may withdraw, after a 10-day period of grace made in writing by you to Holm AG. Any payment concerning the order will be reimbursed. No further claims may be asserted.
Holm AG uses the Swiss Post for dispatching articles up to a certain size and weight. For all larger items or for articles that require special care, Holm AG uses a separate logistics partner or carries out the delivery with its own delivery service. Holm AG reserves the right to decide how an article is dispatched.
Deliveries will be made to the curbside of your building by a freight forwarder. It will require you to accept the delivery on the previously notified delivery day and organise the remaining transport of the order to the place of use. You are obliged to accept the delivery of the order. In case a delivery cannot be made and the order is returned to the sender, Holm AG reserves the right, without a period of grace, to waive the right to subsequent performance. Holm AG has the right to claim for damages, which occur as a result of the failure to fulfil the contract. A voluntary right to return the not accepted goods is excluded.
All parcels will require a signature on delivery. As a rule, all orders are dispatched as one delivery. However, Holm AG reserves the right to dispatch in separate deliveries, should this be necessary. In case items with different lead times are ordered, the longest lead time is valid for the whole order. Should you prefer to receive the items with shorter lead time before hand, please place a separate order.
