Placing an order
The presentation of goods, products, services, and prices published at www.tiasandolives.com are considered an offer (quotation). However, this offer (quotation) is always subject to the (resolutive) state of impossible delivery or an incorrect price quotation (from the manufacturer or T&O). This means that there may be non-delivery due to unavailable items. By completing an online order, you are making an offer to purchase the product at the price on our website.

Upon receipt of an order in our internet store, the following regulations apply: The consumer makes a binding offer to enter into a contract by successfully completing the order procedure The arrival of the online order is indicated to the customer by means of an automatically generated order confirmation by email. 

If one of the above (resolutive) conditions occurs, the contract shall be immediately disbanded without the parties' participation. We shall inform our customers about such dissolution immediately. If the delivery of the product has already taken place, the ownership automatically falls back to T&O and the customer is obliged to return the product (with reimbursement of the paid price by T&O). If the product handover has not yet taken place, the customer is neither obliged to pay the purchase price nor to accept the product. As a result of such contract termination, T&O is not obliged to make a replacement delivery.

Terms of payment
The online order must be paid in full immediately upon entry into the agreement. All transactions on the international website are settled in CHF for Switzerland or (EUR) for Europe and US Dollars (USD) for the rest of the world. Customers purchasing from other countries than Switzerland will have their currency automatically converted to EURO (EUR) or US Dollars (USD) when you complete the transaction. The conversion rate varies from day to day with the current exchange rate. Many banks also charge a small currency conversion fee, contact your bank or credit provider for details.

The customer agrees to pay with the payment options provided by T&O. Currently, payment can be made with the supported credit cards (eu based provider Mollie), which are visible at checkout, or by PayPal. After the purchase, a quitting will be sent to the customer by e-mail and the order will be compiled and prepared for shipment by T&O. Products delivered to the customer remain the property of T&O until the purchase price is paid in full. The customer grants T&O the right to enter any retention of title in the retention of title register.
