YOUR CONTRACT

MULTI-VENDOR MARKETPLACE

99 Things.ch is a multi-vendor marketplace allowing third-party sellers to list and sell products on the site for you to purchase. When you are buying products, you are purchasing them from our partners, not from us. While we help facilitate transactions on the website, we provide a venue for you to buy products from the partner under these terms of sale.

The contract of sale is between you and the partner, and we are not a party to the agreement, nor are we obliged to enforce or execute fulfillment of any contract. Instead, our role is to provide the venue and act as the commercial agent of that partner in concluding the sale to you.

The partner is responsible for the contract with you and the sale and delivery of products and dealing with any claims that you have about the product or arising out of or in connection with the contract and the products subject to that contract.

We will provide support to assist with any issues you have, but ultimately the responsibility for this falls to our partners.

PRODUCT DISCLOSURE

The products offered for sale are those presented on the site 99things.ch, the day of the consultation of the site by the customer, and this is within the limit of stocks available.

The description of the products is as faithful as possible, as well as the presented photographs. However, Photographs cannot be perfectly similar to the product sold, and an error in updating information concerning products cannot, however, engage the responsibility of 99things.ch.

The simultaneous placing in the basket of the same article by several customers can lead to an error in managing available stocks. If our partners no longer have the requested item in stock, we will not fulfill your order. In both cases, the responsibility of 99things.ch and LA MUSE SARL cannot be engaged. 99things.ch will reimburse the purchase of an article that is not available on the card used for the initial payment or offer you credit over the whole of the site.

PRICING POLICY

Prices shown on the Site are in Swiss Franc or EURO (dependent on the country/region you are shipping to) and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate, excluding your participation in shipping costs (see paragraph Shipping and Delivery).

We may adapt prices to currency exchange rate changes, markdowns, and other commercial factors. The price applicable to your order will be the price current when your order is accepted, except in cases of patent error.

Customers purchasing from a country served as DDP will incur relevant import duties and tax upon delivery. These costs are not included in the final purchase price.

If your credit/debit card is not denominated in CHF or Euros, the final price will be calculated with the applicable exchange rate on the day your card issuer processes the transaction.

SALES PRICE ADJUSTMENT

99 THINGS is happy to offer a Sale Price Adjustment on items purchased up to 7 days before the commencement date of a sale. Please be aware that the exact style and size of an item must be available for purchase when your request is made before any adjustment in the sale price can be approved. All approved Sale Price Adjustments will be credited to your 99 THINGS account in the form of a store credit, which will be valid for 12 months.

Any article bought during sales or promotional period cannot benefit from this sales price adjustment, even in the event of further mark-downs.

PAYMENT METHODS

The payment methods include all major credit and debit cards, the Swiss Postcard, Twint, and Sumo payment plans on selected and subject to acceptance. Payment data are conserved by the organization responsible for the specific financial transaction.

The payment is effective immediately.

The information you provide when placing your order and your credit card payment information is subject to automated data processing by our payment portal partners. This automated data processing is intended to define a level of analysis of transactions and fight against credit card fraud, theft, and improper use of your identity.

We take reasonable care to make our website secure. All credit/ debit card transactions on this Site are processed using a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a safe host environment. In the absence of clear negligence on our part, we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.

PLACING AN ORDER

To place an order, you must add items to your Shopping Bag, validate the contents of your cart, enter your billing- and shipping address, select your delivery option and choose your payment method to complete your order. The customer will be able to visualize during these different stages the details of his order and its total price and make any modifications before confirming his/her order to express his acceptance.

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability, and items in your Shopping Bag are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers. When you place an order on 99things.ch, this is an offer to the partner to buy the product(s) stated in your order.

You will almost immediately receive an acknowledgment email confirming receipt of your order. This email is not an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that we have received it.

The offer is only accepted when you receive our email confirming that the partner has accepted your order. At this point, a contract will come into existence, and you will receive a new order confirmation per email.

ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER

As 99 Things is a multi-vendor marketplace, all our orders are subject to availability. If your order can not be accepted, we will inform you of this in writing by email as soon as possible, and we will return any payment you have made for the purchase to you.

Possible reasons why we may not be able to accept your order:

β€’ The product is out of stock.

β€’ We identified an error in the price or description of the product.

β€’ We cannot meet your specified delivery deadline. β€’ It is not possible to deliver the product to you. β€’ Your payment was not authorized.
