Legal information
Terms & Conditions
Customer technical-service engagements and supplier relationships have separate terms. The project owner has approved both new texts and their payment periods for Production publication.
A / Technical services
Terms for technical services
The contracting party is Marcel Häfeli, trading as Calcvero, a sole proprietorship, Wiesentalstrasse 19, 9242 Oberuzwil, Switzerland, UID CHE-312.392.955.
- 1. Scope and engagement. These terms are intended for business-customer engagements and apply only when validly incorporated into the specific contract. Individually agreed conditions take precedence. A website enquiry or receipt confirmation does not itself create an engagement. Scope, deliverables, data formats, deadlines and remuneration are established in the offer and engagement agreement.
- 2. Services. Depending on the engagement, we support cost estimation and quotations, technical sales, feasibility studies, 2D/3D design, metal construction planning, and industrial and contract-manufacturing engineering tasks. The scope may also include work preparation, CAM, Jetcam and TOPS/TruTops workflows where applicable, technical administration, order and invoicing administration, customer acquisition, sales support and procurement coordination. Only the agreed scope is owed; this list is not a blanket commitment to provide every service.
- 3. Technical inputs and cooperation. The customer supplies the current models, sketches, dimensions, materials, tolerances, quantities and machine parameters, such as K-factors, required for the engagement and appoints a contact for approvals. We clarify apparent inconsistencies and missing information before the affected work. Estimates and feasibility assessments rely on documented assumptions; changed inputs are reviewed together.
- 4. Changes and timing. Changes to scope, inputs, revisions or priorities are documented. Their effect on effort, remuneration and deadlines is agreed before the changed work. We inform the customer of foreseeable delays. Neither an enquiry nor a non-binding effort estimate creates a fixed delivery deadline or an automatic price guarantee.
- 5. Handover and manufacturing interface. We deliver the agreed results with a traceable revision status, for example CAD, DWG/DXF, work-preparation or CAM data. The customer checks the documents for their intended use and promptly reports apparent deviations. Manufacture, machine setup, validation under actual machine conditions and final production release remain with the responsible customer or manufacturing partner unless expressly agreed otherwise. This does not replace our responsibility for our own agreed services. No acceptance by silence or waiver of statutory rights is presumed.
- 6. Remuneration and payment. The agreed remuneration and expressly agreed expenses apply. Technical-service invoices are payable within 10 calendar days from the invoice date. Legally due taxes are shown according to the actual tax position; this does not assert VAT registration. These terms introduce no additional reminder fees, contractual penalties or non-statutory late-payment interest rates.
- 7. Documents, confidentiality and usage rights. Both parties use confidential project information only for the agreed purpose and disclose it only to necessary persons bound by confidentiality. The customer ensures that it may use and share the supplied documents. The scope and form of usage rights in deliverables are agreed in the engagement. Pre-existing tools, methods and third-party rights are not transferred wholesale. Personal information is processed under the privacy notice and any separate applicable agreements.
- 8. Deviations, responsibility and termination. If results are disputed, the parties clarify the deviation from the agreed scope and the next steps. Defect remedies, liability, termination and the resulting accounting follow the statutory rules applicable to the specific contract unless validly agreed otherwise. No additional warranties, certifications, liability exclusions, liability caps or flat cancellation fees are promised or introduced.
- 9. Procurement and legal framework. Coordinating procurement for a customer does not automatically make Calcvero a manufacturer, seller or representative of a third party. The role and any authority to act must be established in the engagement. Swiss law applies subject to mandatory provisions. No exclusive court venue is established; statutory jurisdiction rules continue to apply.
The project owner has approved this new text for publication. Payment is due within 10 calendar days from the invoice date. The terms apply to a specific engagement only when validly incorporated; using the website alone does not form a contract. Earlier terms are not this new version.
B / Purchasing and suppliers
Purchasing and supplier terms
The purchaser is Marcel Häfeli, trading as Calcvero, a sole proprietorship, Wiesentalstrasse 19, 9242 Oberuzwil, Switzerland, UID CHE-312.392.955, where Calcvero itself acts as buyer or principal in the specific engagement.
- 1. Application and contracting parties. These terms concern business supply and procurement relationships where Calcvero itself commissions the supplier and the terms are validly incorporated. Individual agreements take precedence. If we act solely as a coordinator for a customer, the buyer, seller, authority and applicable terms must be established separately; these terms do not automatically create a purchase by Calcvero.
- 2. Order and specification. The order defines the product or service, drawing and revision status, material, quantity, tolerances, quality requirements, documentation, price and timing. The supplier clarifies apparent inconsistencies before execution. A partner application, qualification or registration guarantees neither an order nor a minimum volume or exclusivity.
- 3. Quality and changes. The supplier performs the agreed work to the confirmed specification and applicable statutory requirements. Required material or inspection evidence is agreed per order. Certifications are not assumed without evidence. Changes to materials, execution or agreed quality-relevant processes require documented coordination before implementation.
- 4. Delivery and responsibilities. Delivery location, timing, packaging, transport, transfer of risk and, where relevant, customs and import responsibilities must be established in the order. DDP or another Incoterms rule applies only if expressly agreed with a named place and edition. DDP is not introduced as a general default. The supplier informs Calcvero of foreseeable delivery obstacles and coordinates the next steps.
- 5. Invoicing and payment. Invoices identify the order and the supplies or services billed in a traceable manner. The confirmed payment period for supplier and procurement relationships is 14 days from receipt of invoice. Prices, currency, ancillary costs and legally due taxes follow the specific agreement and actual tax position. No automatic discounts, bonuses, penalties or flat deductions are introduced.
- 6. Inspection and deviations. The parties agree the order-specific inspection and documentation scope. Calcvero reports identified deviations and clarifies the necessary measures with the supplier. Statutory inspection and notification duties remain unaffected. Payment or receipt of goods is not defined as a blanket waiver of statutory rights. Special warranty periods or enhanced liability are not introduced without a separate agreement.
- 7. Confidential documents and third parties. Supplied drawings, models, customer information and technical documents are used only for the specific order and protected against unauthorised access. Necessary disclosure to sub-suppliers requires the relevant authority and confidentiality. Rights in deliverables and pre-existing documents are established in the order; third-party intellectual property is not transferred wholesale.
- 8. Responsibility and termination. Defect remedies, liability, termination and its consequences follow the statutory provisions applicable to the specific contract unless a valid separate agreement exists. These terms do not adopt historical internal sanction or bonus schemes and contain no invented liability caps, indemnities or additional performance guarantees.
- 9. Legal framework and separation. Swiss law applies subject to mandatory provisions. Where the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods applies to a cross-border sale of goods, these terms do not exclude its application. No exclusive court venue is established. The payment period in the technical-service customer terms does not carry over to this supplier relationship.
The project owner has approved these separate new terms for publication. Payment is due within 14 days from receipt of invoice. They apply only where Calcvero itself is the buyer or principal in the specific engagement and the terms have been validly incorporated. Earlier supplier terms are not this new version.
