1. General Terms and Conditions for Contracts with Businesses, Legal Entities under Public Law, or Public Law Special Funds

1.1. For all contracts concluded between the customer and Brytec, the following General Terms and Conditions shall apply. These may only be amended by written agreement between an authorized Brytec employee and the customer. The General Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) are available at www.brytec.com.

Brytec’s business activities are limited to Switzerland and the territory of the EU as well as large parts of Europe. Ordered goods are delivered exclusively within the EU, Switzerland, and large parts of Europe.

1.2. General terms and conditions proposed by the customer that conflict with or deviate from these T&Cs will not be accepted unless Brytec explicitly agrees to them in writing. Such terms are not part of the purchase agreement between Brytec and the customer, even if Brytec does not explicitly object to them. General terms used by the customer, particularly pre-formulated terms or shortened T&Cs, will only be valid if explicitly accepted by Brytec. For ongoing business relationships, conditions that have not been expressly accepted by Brytec in each individual case shall not be deemed agreed.

1.3. If the customer remains in an ongoing business relationship with Brytec, acceptance of these T&Cs shall also apply to all subsequent contracts – including those concluded by registration as a Brytec customer or by placing an order and its acceptance – unless a separate agreement has been made with Brytec for a specific order regarding the terms of order processing. In the event of any changes to the T&Cs, Brytec will inform customers before accepting a new order. Acceptance of the modified T&Cs applies to all future contracts once confirmed. .

1.4. The German version of the GTC is legally binding.
All other translations are for informational purposes only.

2.3. If there are reasonable doubts about the customer’s solvency or creditworthiness (e.g., suspension of payment), Brytec may make delivery contingent upon prepayment or prior provision of security. Brytec may also withdraw from the contract in whole or in part and demand repayment for partial services rendered if the customer does not provide security or fulfill obligations within a reasonable deadline after being requested to do so.

The return shipment to Brytec must be made properly, or the customer receives the exchange delivery from Brytec. 

3.3. The customer is permitted to resell the goods delivered by Brytec in the ordinary course of business. The customer hereby assigns all claims against their own customers or third parties arising from the resale up to the invoice amount owed to Brytec.

Verbal declarations by persons who are fully authorized to represent Brytec remain unaffected by the above provision.

4.9. Depending on the nature of the customer’s order – the quantity of goods, the purchase price of the goods, the transport costs, the distance, etc. – Brytec is always entitled to request additional confirmation (authorization) of the order from the customer.

5.12. Regarding the shipping of goods, the following applies (Transfer of Risk):
If shipment is delayed at the customer’s request, the risk transfers to the customer once notice of readiness for shipment has been given. Any warranty claims from the customer require that the customer, if a merchant, has fulfilled their legal obligations of inspection and notification of defects.
