Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" for this web analytics service, i.e., text files are stored on your computer, which, in turn, enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then stored there. We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "anonymizeIp" in order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Thus, your IP address will only be truncated by Google within the member states of the EU or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In a few exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then truncated there. On the basis of these stored cookies, Google can then evaluate your use of the website and provide a compilation of a report on website activities. On the basis of this report, Google can then also provide other services related to use of the website and Internet to the website provider. Google Analytics will not collate your IP address transmitted by your browser with other Google data. If this evaluation based on your stay on our site is not in your interest, you can prevent the storage or installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. We would like at the same time to inform you that, in this case, you will not be able to use all the functions of our website in full.
By using this website, you agree with the processing of the data raised about you by Google in the above-described manner and for the previously named purpose.

3. Purchase order

Prices

Product prices listed prior to order submission (displayed in the ordering step “Order Summary”) shall be considered as binding. Delivery costs vary depending on the purchase value and the country.

VAT-free deliveries are possible to countries outside Switzerland and Germany. Tax-free orders are allowed via the online shop if the subsequent EUID examination (carried out automatically) via the Federal Central Tax Office in Germany is positive.

Order confirmation

All orders are confirmed by i-like Metaphysik GmbH and are subject to Swiss law. For credit card payments, the credit card shall only be charged after the order has been received in our system, and the order confirmation has been submitted. Ordered products which are unavailable at the time of delivery will be delivered as soon as possible.

The contract of purchase is concluded upon receipt of your order and its electronic acceptance by i-like (order confirmation). No order supplements or cancellations shall be allowed after the order has been received.

Payment methods

Available payment methods include Credit Card, PayPal, Purchase by invoice, and Prepayment (by post or e-banking). Direct debit is not available at this point. i-like Metaphysik GmbH reserves the right to cancel orders without notice should these remain unpaid for an extended period.

Purchase by invoice

Invoices are payable within 14 days without any deductions. A payment is only deemed to have been made once i-like Metaphysik GmbH has access to the amount. If payment is not made within the above-mentioned period, the customer shall be in default of payment, whereby i-like Metaphysik GmbH shall be entitled to charge interest at a rate of 5% from the date in question. In addition, i-like Metaphysik GmbH reserves the right to charge a reminder fee for each reminder. For the duration of the delay, i-like Metaphysik GmbH is also entitled to withdraw from the contract at any time, to demand the return of the delivered goods, and to claim damages for the cancellation of the contract. All claims shall become due immediately if the customer is in default of payment, culpably fails to fulfil other essential obligations arising from the contract, or if i-like Metaphysik GmbH becomes aware of circumstances that are likely to reduce the creditworthiness of the customer, in particular suspension of payment and initiation of composition or bankruptcy proceedings. In these cases, i-like Metaphysik GmbH is authorised to withhold outstanding deliveries or to implement them only against advance payment or securities.


3.1 Subscription/Rent Order

Scope of Validity

This section governs the contractual relationships between the Subscriber/Tenant and i-like Metaphysik GmbH. These terms and conditions form part of each subscription/rent contract and affect every subscription/rent order.

Services of i-like Metaphysics GmbH

i-like Metaphysik GmbH offers subscribers/tenants a selected range of high quality products as part of a 4-month subscription/rent. i-like Metaphysik GmbH is entitled to make content-related modifications and adjustments to the product range at any time.

Services of the subscriber/tenant

The services used by the subscriber/tenant are billed by i-like Metaphysik GmbH at the respective valid prices and according to the conditions. The subscriber/tenant undertakes to pay the applicable prices within the defined period. The term of payment is immediately by credit card, and subsequent payments are made automatically on the 16th of the following month (see the section “Payment Methods” below). If a payment is not made on time, i-like Metaphysik GmbH is entitled to stop providing its services immediately.

Contractual Term and Termination

The subscription/rent agreement between i-like Metaphysik GmbH and the subscriber/tenant is concluded for a minimum term. The contractual period is at least 4 months. The subscription/rent will automatically continue after the minimum period of 4 months until it is terminated. If an item is added to a current customer subscription/rent, the minimum 4 month term will start again (from the date of the saved change / adjustment). For i-like distribution partners, the deadlines according to the subscription/rent declaration apply here. Subscribers/tenant may customise their subscription/rent at any time and add or remove items. At least one item must be assigned to the subscription/rent by the end of the contractual period. The subscriber/tenant may give notice on a subscription/rent at any time at the earliest possible termination date.

Payment methods

Only a credit card may be used as the payment method for subscriptions/rents. Your credit card details are stored encrypted in the system and your subscription/rent order value is automatically debited on the 16th of the following month. Ensure that your subscription/rent is variably customisable (by you). This means that different charges may be incurred during the contractual period. Price changes made by i-like Metaphysik GmbH can also result in price adjustments to the subscription/rent.

Final provisions for subscription orders

If any provision of these GTCs is or becomes invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced by one which, in a legally-effective manner, approximates as closely as possible the meaning and purpose of the invalidated provision. The same shall apply in the event that a loophole is found in the contract. i-like Metaphysik GmbH reserves the express right to change these terms and conditions at any time. General terms & conditions apply.


4. Delivery

i-like Metaphysik GmbH delivers mainly to European countries. Worldwide deliveries may also be undertaken with adjusted delivery costs. Following the order confirmation by i-like, your products will be shipped to the delivery address you specified. Generally, products are delivered 4-5 working days after receipt of payment.

5. Defective products

If you are dissatisfied with the delivered products, please contact our Customer Service on +41 71 723 1818 or via e-mail at info@i-like.net. Any complaint must be reported immediately upon receipt of the product, ie on the day of delivery. Hidden defects must be reported to Customer Service immediately after discovery. i-like Metaphysik GmbH reserves the right to require proof of the defect before taking further action.

i-like Metaphysik is responsible for the following defects: Damage caused by transport during delivery, incomplete deliveries (in consideration of availability), and manufacturing and/or packaging defects. In such cases, customers will receive a replacement delivery for the defective goods after inspection.

Products which have been damaged by customer´s fault, product loss, and products ordered accidentally shall not be refunded.

Cancellation policy

The following cancellation policy applies to contracts for goods that can be sent as a package with a carrier. As a consumer, you have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days. The time period for cancellation is fourteen days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party named by you (who is not the carrier), acquires physical possession of the goods.

Consequences of cancellation

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse any payments – excluding delivery costs – we have received from you without delay, and at the latest, within fourteen days from the day on which we receive notification of your cancellation of this contract. Refunds will be made using the same means of payment that was used during the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise. Under no circumstances will you be charged for this refund.
