<li>General terms and conditions of business </li>
</ol>
1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as the provider (Hi-Rice AG) via the Primarlice website. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms and conditions you may use is hereby excluded.
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following provisions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor to their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity. 
2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we make you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping cart system under the conditions specified in the item description.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows: The goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping cart." You can access the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time using the corresponding button in the navigation bar. After clicking the "Checkout" or "Continue to Order" button (or similar name) and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order details will be displayed as an order overview.
If you use an instant payment system (e.g., PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort, giropay) as your payment method, you will either be redirected to the order overview page in our online shop or to the website of the instant payment system provider. If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, you can make the appropriate selections or enter your data there. Finally, the order details will be displayed as an order overview on the website of the instant payment system provider or after you have been redirected back to our online shop.
Before submitting your order, you have the opportunity to review the information in the order overview, change it (also via the "back" function of your internet browser) or cancel the order.
By submitting your order via the corresponding button ("order with payment", "buy" / "buy now", "order with payment", "pay" / "pay now" or similar), you declare your legally binding acceptance of the offer, thereby concluding the contract. (4) Your requests for a quote are non-binding. We will submit a binding offer in text form (e.g., by email), which you can accept within 5 days (unless a different deadline is specified in the respective offer).
(5) The processing of orders and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract are partially automated via email. You must therefore ensure that the email address you have provided us with is correct, that receipt of emails is technically guaranteed, and, in particular, that it is not blocked by spam filters.

5 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You may only exercise a right of retention if the claims arise from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.
(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following additional provisions apply:
<ol>
<li>We retain title to the goods until all claims arising from the current business relationship have been fully settled. Pledging or transferring the reserved goods as security is not permitted before title to the goods has been transferred.</li>
<li>You may resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims arising from the resale in the amount of the invoice amount, and we accept the assignment. You are further authorized to collect the claim. However, if you fail to properly fulfill your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.</li>
<li>If the reserved goods are combined or mixed, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.</li>
<li>We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request to the extent that the realizable value of our securities exceeds the secured claim by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released is at our discretion.</li>
</ol>
 
6 Warranty
(1) The statutory liability for defects applies.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to inspect the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects, and transport damage, and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. Failure to do so will not affect your statutory warranty claims.
(3) If a feature of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to have been agreed if you were informed of this by us before the contractual declaration was made and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4) If you are an entrepreneur, the following applies, deviating from the above warranty provisions:
<ol>
<li>Only our own information and the manufacturer's product description are deemed to be agreed upon as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public praise or statements by the manufacturer.</li>
<li>In the event of defects, we will provide warranty coverage, at our discretion, through repair or replacement. If the remedy fails, you may, at your discretion, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. Remedy of the defect is deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless otherwise indicated by the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances. In the event of repair, we are not obligated to bear the increased costs incurred by transporting the goods to a location other than the place of performance, provided that the transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.</li>
</ol>
 
7 Choice of law
(1) Swiss law shall apply. For consumers, this choice of law shall apply only to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favorability).
(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
