(i) Our website (www.zermatt-keramik.ch) offers the facility for users to order and make payment online using major debit and credit cards.  This website uses a deferred payment system, of which the user is informed at the point of checkout, whereby a member of the Zermatt Kaffee Rösterei GmbH sales team will manually approve or decline the order – this normally takes place the same working day that we receive your order placed online.  If the user’s order is approved by a member of our sales team, at this point the user’s debit or credit card is charged accordingly and the order is confirmed in writing.  If the user’s order is declined by a member of our sales team (Zermatt Kaffee Rösterei GmbH reserves the right to reject the user’s order for whatever reason), the user is informed in writing by a member of the sales team and no payment is charged to the user’s debit or credit card. Being as no payment has been charged to the user’s debit or credit card, no contract for goods and/or services has been entered into by Zermatt Kaffee Rösterei GmbH and, therefore, Zermatt Kaffee Rösterei GmbH has no responsibility or liability to the user.
