1. Scope

The General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “Terms and Conditions”) also apply to all legal transactions concluded via the digital sales platform of AMAG Automobil und Motoren AG (AMAG) (hereinafter referred to as “Online Shop”) and supplement any additional general terms and conditions of the respective legal transactions. The Online Shop is operated by AMAG. AMAG reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time. The version of these Terms and Conditions in force at the time of the legal transaction is authoritative. Any terms and conditions of the customer that conflict with or deviate from these Terms and Conditions will not be recognised. The product and service offers in the Online Shop (hereinafter referred to as “offers”) are intended exclusively for customers domiciled in Switzerland.

Deliveries are made exclusively to addresses in Switzerland.

 

2. Illustration of the product and product description

There is always the possibility that there will be differences between the product photo and the original vehicle. The product photo is therefore non-binding and serves illustrative purposes only.

Due to differences in country configurations, the actual equipment may differ from the equipment listed in the product description.

 

3. Availability

AMAG attaches great importance to providing up-to-date and accurate information on availability in the Online Shop. Particularly if there is a great deal of interest in a product, it may be the case that the product appears in the Online Shop but is no longer available. All information on availability is therefore without guarantee and may change before conclusion of the legal transaction.

 

4. No-obligation offers

The products and prices in the Online Shop are no-obligation offers. However, these offers are always subject to availability.

 

5. Contract, payment and delivery date

5.1 Contract

AMAG will send the customer the terms of the corresponding legal transaction by e-mail within a reasonable period of time. This will include an indication of the relevant bank details and the request to transfer the amount due as specified. In any case, full payment must be made before the vehicle can be transferred.

 

5.2 Delivery/collection date

Upon receipt of the signed contract, an individual delivery or collection date will be agreed with the customer.

 

6.   Arranging appointments online

Appointments can be booked online via the website of the respective AMAG company. The booking is only valid once the reservation has been confirmed by AMAG Automobil und Motoren AG via e-mail or SMS.

An order can be cancelled by either party free of charge via telephone or e-mail up to 72 hours before the planned execution.

The prices (where indicated) for services are displayed in the selection of the individual services (all prices in Swiss francs). They may be changed by AMAG Automobil und Motoren AG at any time without prior notice. The following services are included in the prices, unless otherwise indicated: planned amount of work, currently applicable VAT. The following services are not included in the prices: additional work, materials, replacement vehicles and other services.

Payment for the services is required on collection of the vehicle. Following the order, customers of AMAG Automobil und Motoren AG will receive a bill that will be due for payment within 30 days.

 

7. Data protection

AMAG Automobil und Motoren AG refers explicitly to its Privacy Policy (www.amag-group.ch/datenschutz) that describes how data are collected and processed, as well as the purpose for which this is done.

 

8. Partial invalidity

Should individual provisions of these Terms and Conditions become invalid or ineffective, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or these Terms and Conditions as a whole.

 

9. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

All legal relationships between AMAG and the customer are subject to Swiss substantive law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this Contract is the registered office of AMAG Automobil und Motoren AG in Cham, Zug. However, AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG reserves the right to take legal action in the place where the registered office of the defending contracting party is located. Cases in which civil procedure law prescribes a different place of jurisdiction are excluded from the clause assigning jurisdiction.

General Terms and Conditions (GTC) Aftersales

Download the General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of AMAG Automobil und Motoren AG and AMAG Vaduz AG (hereinafter referred to as the “Garage Business”) with regard to repairs and services and thus for the work carried out by the Garage Business or its employees on motor vehicles, trailers, aggregates, their parts and with regard to the preparation of cost estimates.

 

1. Validity ▪

The validity and thus the inclusion of deviating and/or supplementary GTC of the customer are excluded, even if the Garage Business has not expressly objected to them. Deviations only apply if they have been agreed in writing and signed by both parties.

 

2. Order placement ▪

The customer must specify the defects to be repaired or the services to be performed on the vehicle as precisely as possible for the attention of the responsible employee of the Garage Business and agree on the desired completion date. The services to be provided, such as the agreed deadline, are recorded in the repair shop order and acknowledged resp. released by the customer. If necessary, the vehicle provided by the customer will be additionally updated to the current software status without an explicit order from the customer. As far as technically possible, vehicle data is temporarily encrypted in this context. Irrespective of this, the Garage Business assumes and accordingly recommends that the customer back up data and individual settings in the vehicle in accordance with the operating instructions in order to avoid any loss of data. Consequently, the Garage Business is not responsible for such a loss of data. Insofar as it becomes apparent during the performance of service or repair work that additional work or services on the part of the Garage Business are required which were not to be expected when the vehicle was accepted by the Garage Business or which were not declared by the customer and which exceed 10% of the total order in terms of cost, the Garage Business shall obtain the customer’s prior consent for this work by telephone or in writing. The customer shall subsequently ensure that the Garage Business has a telephone number on which the customer can be reached during normal business hours. Insofar as the Garage Business cannot reach the customer even after three attempts (with time intervals of at least 15 minutes), the Garage Business will only perform this work insofar as it is necessary with regard to the road safety of the vehicle. Insofar as the additional work does not exceed 10% of the total order in terms of cost, the Garage Business may assume the customer’s consent and does not have to obtain the customer’s prior consent. The Garage Business is authorised to subcontract to third-party companies and to carry out test drives and practice drives with the vehicle provided by the customer. After wheel assembly, the wheel bolts must be retightened after 50 to 100 km and the Garage Business recommends this to the customer.

 

3. Delivery and acceptance of the vehicle ▪

If the customer wishes to have their vehicle collected or delivered, this will be at their own expense and risk. The customer is obliged to collect the vehicle within five working days of receipt of the notice of completion or handover or transmission of the invoice. In the case of repair work carried out within one working day, this collection period will be reduced to two working days. The acceptance of the vehicle by the customer takes place in the Garage Business, unless otherwise agreed. If the customer fails to collect the vehicle by the agreed time, but no later than the close of business on the agreed collection day, the Garage Business will be entitled to park the vehicle outside the respective Garage Business at the customer’s risk and responsibility and expenses. In the event of a delay in acceptance, the Garage Business may charge a storage fee customary in the locality per parking day without a corresponding prior reminder to the customer, insofar as the vehicle remains on the Garage Business’ premises.

 

4. Payment ▪

The invoice amount is generally due immediately. Payments with cash more than CHF 500 and foreign currencies are generally excluded and should be made with debit/credit cards. The accepted means of payment can be requested from the Garage Business. A different payment deadline on account can be set by the Garage Business. The customer may only offset claims of the Garage Business against their own claims if the customer’s counterclaim is undisputed or a legally binding title exists in this respect; the customer may only assert a right of retention regarding the amount to be paid insofar as this is based on claims from the order as such. The Garage Business is entitled to demand a reasonable advance payment, i.e. an advance on costs, when placing the order. Where the Client is delayed in their payment, the Garage may request payment of interest at the rate of 5% from the Client upon expiry of the payment deadline without any additional reminders.

 

Following a payment reminder, the Garage is entitled to charge a processing fee of CHF 20.00 for the first written reminder letter sent to the Customer. An additional processing fee of CHF 40.00 will be charged for the second reminder letter. Any correction of the invoice must be requested by the customer no later than two weeks after receipt of the invoice, otherwise the Garage Business may assume that the invoice is correct.

 

5. Warranty/guarantee ▪

After taking over the vehicle, the customer must immediately inspect it for any defects. The customer must give written notice of defects to the Garage Business carrying out the work within seven working days of taking delivery of the vehicle at the latest and thus assert a claim, in the case of hidden defects within seven working days of the first occurrence of the defect in question. In any case, the notice of defects on executed works will be time-barred after two years. If the customer fails to give notice of defects in due time, the work of the Garage Business will be deemed to have been approved and any rights to claim for defects will be forfeited. The statutory warranty is completely excluded to the extent permitted by law. The manufacturer’s warranty applies exclusively to material defects. Insofar as a defect is present which has been notified in due time and which is attributable to the work or services of the Garage Business, the Garage Business is entitled to rectify the defect. Insofar as the customer has any rectification work carried out by a third-party company, the warranty claim will lapse in full, and the Garage Business is accordingly not obliged to remunerate any rectification work carried out by a third-party company.

 

6. Liability ▪

The Garage Business does not assume any liability (neither contractual nor non-contractual) except in the case of intent or gross negligence; liability for slight negligence is therefore – as far as legally permissible – excluded. The burden of proof for intent or gross negligence on the part of the Garage Business or its legal representatives, vicarious agents and employees, etc. lies with the customer. Irrespective of any fault on the part of the Garage Business, any liability on the part of the Garage Business in the event of fraudulent concealment of the defect, from the assumption of a guarantee or in accordance with the Product Liability Act and in the event of personal injury remains unaffected. Liability for the loss of money, valuables of any kind or documents (e.g. business documents) in the vehicle that have not been expressly taken into custody by the Garage Business is excluded. Accordingly, the customer must ensure that no such valuables are present in the vehicle provided.

 

7. Retention of title / retention right ▪

Installed accessories, spare parts and aggregates will only become the property of the customer upon full payment of the relevant purchase price plus any interest and costs. The Garage Business subsequently has the right to make corresponding entries in the title register. The Garage Business has the right to retain the vehicle provided by the customer within the meaning of Article 891 ff. of the Swiss Civil Code until full payment of (previous or current) claims from work carried out, spare parts deliveries, etc. has been made. If the customer does not pay the outstanding amounts even after three reminders and the corresponding prospect of the sale of the vehicle in question to settle the outstanding claims, the Garage Business has the right to sell the vehicle by private contract without involving the debt collection office. The relevant sales proceeds – after deduction of all outstanding claims and costs of the Garage Business – will be handed over to the customer.

 

8. Amendment of the GTC ▪

These GTC apply in the version valid at the time of the order. The Garage Business reserves the right to modify the GTC unilaterally and at any time.

 

9. Data protection ▪

To the extent necessary, your personal data and vehicle and repair information (e.g. vehicle identification number, technical vehicle and repair shop data) will be processed in order to fulfil this order or legal obligations, and to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties such as AMAG Group Ltd and its subsidiaries, the manufacturer and/or by us or by partners/service providers authorised by the aforementioned third parties. Your data is processed for the purpose of contract processing, handling warranty and goodwill cases, for recalls and technical measures, customer care, improving product quality and maintaining a central prospect and customer care platform. If you have given us your consent, we will also use your data for marketing purposes. Please note that failure to give consent does not constitute a withdrawal of any other consent you may have given us previously. The contact information for withdrawal and further provisions on data protection applicable to this contract are available from the Garage Business, on its website and at https://www.amag-group.ch/de/footer/privacy-policy.html.

 

10. Service Cam ▪

Within the scope of your service order and with the “Service Cam” application of the manufacturer, video recordings of your vehicle are created in order to provide you with an even more transparent processing of service and repair services.

To send the video recording, we process your contact details such as e-mail or SMS. The video recordings are processed directly at the manufacturer and made available to us for the duration of the service.

 

11. Place of jurisdiction, applicable law ▪

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising and thus for all present and future claims is the registered office of the Garage Business, insofar as no compulsory place of jurisdiction is provided for by law. The same place of jurisdiction also applies if the customer’s registered office / place of residence is abroad. The Garage Business is also free to take legal action against the customer at their registered office / place of residence. The substantive law of Switzerland applies exclusively, to the exclusion of the Vienna Convention or other international agreements.

1. Scope

These General Subscription Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as ‘GSTC’) govern the contractual relationship between AMAG Leasing AG, Alte Steinhauserstrasse 12, 6330 Cham, (hereinafter referred to as ‘AMAG Leasing’) and the subscribers (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Customer’).

 

AMAG reserves the right to change the GSTC at any time. The version of these GSTC in force at the time a subscription contract is concluded applies.

Vehicles are exclusively handed over in Switzerland.

2. Contractual components

The contractual services are specified in the subscription contract concluded between AMAG Leasing and the Customer (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Contract’). If there are any contradictions between these GSTC and the Contract, the Contract shall take precedence over the GSTC.

The GSTC and/or the Contract also refer to separate terms and conditions of insurance. These form an integral part of the Contract. In the event of contradictions between the Contract, the GSTC and the terms and conditions of insurance, the latter shall take precedence.

3. Illustration of the product and product description

The vehicles offered in the online shop shall be vehicles that actually exist. However, there is always the possibility that there will be differences between the product photo and the original. The product photo is therefore non-binding and serves illustrative purposes only. Due to differences in country configurations, the actual equipment may differ from the equipment listed in the product description. The vehicle offered shall not be a damaged vehicle (a vehicle that has suffered significant damage in an accident, e.g. damage to the chassis structure/chassis frame, etc.). The seller reserves the right to make minor, reasonable changes to the vehicle described in the Contract with regard to shape, colour or scope of delivery.

4. Conclusion of Contract 

The products and prices in the seller’s online shop, which are identified accordingly, are deemed an offer to conclude a Contract with AMAG Leasing. However, this offer is always subject to availability.

The offer is exclusively intended for natural or legal persons with the capacity to act and a permanent residence, registered office or branch in Switzerland.

At AMAG Leasing’s discretion, the Customer must be of sufficient creditworthiness or of sound financial position to meet the financial obligations arising from this Contract. The existence of the prerequisites for the conclusion of a Contract is verified by AMAG Leasing. To this end, the Customer is asked to provide various details about themselves and their financial circumstances and to submit corresponding documents.

If the Customer is a legal entity, they shall specify a main driver. If the Customer is a natural person, they shall be considered the main driver.[A1]  In any case, the main driver must reside in Switzerland and have a valid driving licence for the relevant vehicle category. The main driver is the person who uses the vehicle for the main purpose, i.e. alongside any other authorised users in accordance with the following provisions.

The Contract is concluded as soon as the seller acting on behalf of AMAG Leasing has confirmed the handover date for the vehicle. The Customer will be provided with a copy of the Contract.

4.1 Use

The Customer may only use the vehicle for private purposes. They may not use the vehicle for racing competitions involving speed, endurance, skill or other factors, for the transport of hazardous goods, for participation in driver safety training or for similar purposes.

 

4.1.1 Use for commercial passenger transport

Use of the vehicle for commercial passenger transport (as a taxi, Uber, etc.) is prohibited.

 

4.2 Main driver and other authorised users

The Customer may also allow third parties (hereinafter referred to as ‘Authorised Users’) to use the vehicle alongside any main driver, provided that they meet the requirements applicable to the Customer and are willing to comply with the obligations defined in the Contract.

The Customer must ensure that the Authorised Users fulfil these requirements at all times. As a contractual partner of AMAG Leasing, the Customer is responsible for the Authorised Users’ compliance with the contractual obligations. The Customer shall provide AMAG Leasing with the personal details of the Authorised Users on request, ensuring beforehand that the Authorised Users are informed of this and of the associated data processing.

4.3 Travel abroad

The vehicle is to be used primarily in Switzerland. The vehicle may also be driven abroad (such as for holiday purposes). Use of the car abroad is limited to the following countries:

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and Vatican City State.

For travel outside Switzerland, the Customer is obliged to carry in the vehicle any additional documents and safety accessories required for this purpose, such as safety vests or first-aid kits. The international insurance card (green card) can be ordered through Zurich [international insurance card – Zurich Switzerland].

The vehicle may not be driven abroad by anyone who does not live in Switzerland. If this is not complied with, the AMAG Leasing Customer shall be liable for all tax and customs consequences that this may entail.

5. Contractual term and notice periods

 

5.1 Subscription periods

The Customer and AMAG Leasing agree on a contractual term and a maximum term. The contractual term starts on the agreed date of vehicle handover (‘Key Date’), confirmed to the Customer by the delivery partner and communicated to AMAG Leasing. This Key Date also applies as the start date of the contractual term if the Customer fails to notify the delivery partner in a timely manner, i.e. at least three (3) working days before the Key Date, of a delay in vehicle handover. The maximum rental period is 24 months.


Subscription fees arising from the Contract are collected each month. The initial collection date is the Key Date, which is always the same day of the month (e.g. 15 January, 15 February, etc.). A subscription month begins on the collection date for a subscription fee and ends on the day before the collection date for the subsequent subscription fee. If the Customer does not terminate the Contract with 30 days’ notice to the end of the contractual term, the Contract will automatically be extended by another subscription month after the end of the contractual term until it is properly terminated or until the maximum term is reached.

 

5.2 Ordinary termination of the Contract

At the end of the contractual term, either Party may terminate the contractual relationship as of the end of the subscription month (depending on the date of vehicle handover) by giving 30 days’ notice. The Customer can terminate the Contract via their account on amag.ch. The right is reserved to terminate the Contract prematurely in accordance with section 14. Returning the vehicle before the last day of a subscription month does not lead to an early termination of the Contract and therefore also not to a pro rata calculation of the cost of the last subscription month. If the Customer does not make use of their right of termination, the Contract ends automatically on expiry of the maximum rental period. If the vehicle is not returned before the end of the subscription month after the cancellation has been noted, the Contract will automatically be extended by one month and another subscription fee will be due.

 

5.3 Requesting a replacement vehicle

The Customer may not request a different vehicle during the contractual term. If the Customer is provided with a different vehicle after the end of the contractual term, a new contractual term begins for the new vehicle. It is not possible to offset the contractual term of the previous vehicle against the new contractual term for the new vehicle.

6. Subscription fee and other payment obligations

 

6.1 Subscription fee

The subscription fee for the first subscription month will be charged to the Customer’s credit card on the Key Date. For all subsequent months of use, the Customer’s credit card will be charged in the amount of the agreed subscription fee on the same day of the month that the handover was planned (‘Key Date’). The credit card will be charged by a payment service provider authorised by AMAG Leasing on a monthly basis.

 

If the contractual parameters are subsequently adjusted (e.g. mileage), the conditions valid at the time of the adjustment shall apply. Any discount from the original offer will not be transferred to the adjusted conditions.

6.2 Late payment or an expired credit card

 

6.2.1 Expired credit card

The Customer shall be notified of their credit card expiring. The Customer is responsible for keeping all of their payment information up to date. If the validity period of the Customer’s credit card is close to the expiry date, the Customer will receive an email request to update their credit card information in their account within the communicated deadline.

 

6.3 Late payment and late payment interest

If the subscription fee cannot be collected via the credit card by the deadline, this will be considered a late payment for the Customer. If the invoice has not been paid by the fifth (5) following working day, this will trigger the first reminder. If this first reminder with a payment deadline of five (5) working days is not complied with, the Customer will receive a second reminder informing them that termination will be triggered if payment is not made. If the Customer does not respond to this reminder within a period of five (5) working days, the Customer will receive notice of termination of the Contract and a request to return the vehicle. The Customer will also be asked to settle outstanding invoices on return of the vehicle.

 

In the event of late payment, private Customers may also be charged late payment interest of 5.0% from the date the second reminder is sent. Business Customers will be charged late payment interest in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations.

 

6.4 Mileage packages and mileage

If the mileage included in the selected mileage package is exceeded at the end of the term, the delivery partner is authorised to bill the Customer in their own name for the additional kilometres at the end of the term. The delivery partner will charge the Customer CHF 0.75 (including VAT) per additional kilometre. Kilometres not driven within a given month of the term will be carried over to the following months of the term.


There are no refunds for any unused kilometres. It is not possible to transfer the unused kilometres to a new subscription or vehicle.

 

6.5 Additional fees

As part of contractual processing, additional fees may arise that are not included in the contractual services of the car subscription and thus the monthly subscription fee. AMAG Leasing will charge these to the Customer’s credit card immediately or they will be invoiced by the authorised delivery partner.

 

Additional fees owed to AMAG Leasing for operational costs incurred include (amounts plus VAT):

·       First reminder of late payment CHF 25.00

·       Second reminder of late payment CHF 50.00

·       Third reminder of late payment CHF 250.00

·       Return of the vehicle in the event of breach of Contract: effective return costs, min. CHF 1,000.00

·       Final bill in the event of early termination of the Contract by the subscription seller CHF 600.00

·       Debt enforcement[A2] : effective external costs of debt enforcement

·       Criminal charge/embezzlement CHF 500.00

·       Consultation with authorities CHF 200.00

·       Withdrawal of debt enforcement CHF 100.00

·       Total loss processing fee CHF 100.00

·       Failure to show up at the agreed handover or return date – CHF 500.00

·       Insurance excess (depending on age/terms and conditions of insurance)

·       Cancellation before the first monthly instalment CHF 500.00

·       Written account statement against advance payment CHF 25.00 (free Customer account)

 

Additional fees owed to the delivery partner for operating costs, which they charge in their own name as authorised by AMAG Leasing, include (amounts including VAT):

·       Removal of general heavy soiling CHF 250.00

·       Removal of heavy soiling of the vehicle by animals CHF 250.00

·       Removal of heavy soiling of the vehicle by smoking CHF 450.00

·       Independent expert in the event of a difference of opinion CHF 800.00

 

 

Both lists of compensation items are a non-exhaustive list of possible activities carried out by the Customer that may trigger additional costs in addition to the subscription fee.

 

6.6 Other/VAT changes

All payments owed in connection with the Contract are in CHF and include statutory VAT applicable at the time the Contract is concluded. If the applicable rate of VAT changes during the contractual term, the monthly subscription fee and the other fees set out in these GSTC shall be adapted accordingly. The same rule applies to all other newly introduced public fees or public fees charged that are relevant to the contractual relationship.

 

7. Ownership and right of disposal

7.1 Details of ownership

The vehicle remains the property of AMAG Leasing for the entire contractual term. Rights in rem or a right of retention of the vehicle on the part of the Customer for the purpose of asserting claims against AMAG Leasing are excluded.

Disposals of the vehicle and its accessories are prohibited (such as sale, pledging or gifting/donation). The Customer must keep the vehicle free from third-party rights. They may not sell, rent or pledge it, or transfer it by way of gift or security.

7.2 Registration and number plates

The vehicle is registered under AMAG Leasing at the responsible road traffic office. Code 178 ‘Change in ownership prohibited’ is entered on the vehicle registration card, and the name and address of the Customer is entered as the location address. The number plates are issued on the basis of the Customer or main driver’s canton of residence. In accordance with federal law, the location of the vehicle is used to determine this. It is not possible for AMAG Leasing to take over the Customer’s existing number plates.

If the Customer changes their place of residence, they are obliged to report the change of address to AMAG Leasing. If the Customer changes their place of residence to another canton, they are obliged to ensure that the vehicle is correctly registered in the new canton of residence and to request the necessary forms from AMAG Leasing.

 

7.3 Entitlement to disposition

As the owner of the vehicle, AMAG Leasing is entitled at any time to inspect the vehicle or have the vehicle inspected. The Customer is obliged to cooperate in this regard and hereby irrevocably grants AMAG Leasing access to the location where the vehicle is located. If the inspection reveals conduct on the part of the Customer that is in breach of the Contract, the Customer shall bear the associated expenses.

8. Availability

AMAG Leasing and the delivery partner strive to provide up-to-date and accurate information regarding availability in the online shop. Particularly if there is a great deal of interest in a product, it may be the case that the product appears in the online shop but is no longer available. All information regarding availability is therefore without guarantee and may change before a Contract is concluded.

9. Vehicle handover

The booked vehicle shall be taken over by the Customer from the responsible delivery partner or, in the case of home delivery, at the Customer’s place of residence or registered office or a separately agreed location. The handover date is agreed between the delivery partner and the Customer. The vehicle shall be handed over with a full tank of petrol/fully charged and with a currently valid motorway vignette. In the case of a home delivery, the fuel or electricity used to get there is to be paid for by the Customer.

 

9.1 Identification

Upon handover of the vehicle, the Customer must be able to identify themselves using an identification document recognised in Switzerland (Swiss ID or passport and, for foreign passports, together with a foreign ID card) and present a valid driver’s licence. Handover is always exclusively to the Customer and not to a main driver or another Authorised User. The Customer must be there in person to receive the vehicle. If the Customer is a legal entity, the vehicle will only be handed over to persons who have a legally valid and signed power of attorney from the Customer. The main driver must also be present and must show identification and a valid driver’s licence.

 

9.2 Handover protocol

A handover protocol to be signed by the Customer and the delivery partner is issued on handover of the vehicle. The Customer accepts the vehicle from the delivery partner for themselves and for AMAG Leasing. The Customer must inspect the vehicle at the handover appointment and note any defects on the handover protocol. In the case of serious defects or discrepancies between the vehicle ordered and that delivered, the handover must be refused by the Customer. The Customer bears the burden of proof for damage or defects that are not noted on the handover protocol but, in the Customer’s opinion, already existed when the vehicle was handed over.

10. Overview of services included

The monthly subscription fee includes:

a)    Use of the vehicle during the subscription period within the scope of the kilometres included in the agreed mileage package

b)    Tyres suitable for the season and any necessary changes and storage

c)    Swiss motorway vignette for the duration of the contractual relationship

d)    All registration fees, vehicle taxes and charges

e)    Insurance cover according to section 10.6

f)      All servicing, maintenance and repairs, as long as these have not been caused by use of the vehicle by the Customer in violation of the Contract

g)    Statutory VAT at the current tax rate


All other costs associated with operating and maintaining the vehicle are paid by the Customer. This applies in particular to costs for fuel consumption, costs for electricity, charging infrastructure, charging card, wiper fluid, AdBlue, cleaning costs during the contractual term or with respect to the return of the vehicle, toll fees for roads in other countries, etc.

 

10.1 Inspection/maintenance/wear and tear

The Customer must take care when using the vehicle and regularly check oil and water levels and the tyre pressure. The vehicle may only be driven in a safe condition that is in accordance with legal requirements.

 

10.1.1 Servicing and repair work

The Customer shall bring the vehicle in for servicing as soon as the vehicle indicates that servicing is required or such work is required as per the vehicle’s service booklet. The vehicle may only be maintained and repaired at the locations defined by the delivery partner (on behalf of AMAG Leasing) as the authorised servicing companies.[A3]  The resulting costs for inspection and maintenance are included in the subscription fees. This excludes cases that can be traced back to a breach of the Customer’s obligations in accordance with section 12. Carrying out servicing or other work at an unauthorised servicing company is prohibited, and the resulting costs and any dismantling and/or inspection work by the authorised servicing company shall be borne by the Customer. This excludes repair work required due to a breakdown abroad or deviating regulations in agreement with the authorised servicing company.

 

10.1.2 Replacement vehicle for extensive workshop stays

In the event of the following workshop work on the vehicle lasting more than two (2) hours, AMAG Leasing will offer the Customer a replacement vehicle for the duration of the workshop work through the authorised servicing company so that the Customer does not experience any loss of vehicle due to the workshop work. This regulation applies to workshop work within the scope of warranty work, servicing and inspections, and the need for repairs that aren’t the fault of the Customer. There is no entitlement to replacement mobility for workshop work lasting less than two (2) hours or in case of tyre changes. The type of replacement vehicle depends on availability. To the extent possible, the needs of the Customer are taken into account. There is no entitlement to a specific model as a replacement vehicle. The delivery partner can also offer the Customer alternative forms of mobility (e.g. bus or train ticket), which fulfil the function of replacement mobility if these are accepted by the Customer.

 

10.2 Roadworthiness approval and vehicle taxes

AMAG Leasing bears all costs for roadworthiness approval and the applicable vehicle taxes.

 

10.3 Motorway vignette

The vehicle is handed over to the Customer with a valid vignette. If the contractual term extends beyond a turn of the year, AMAG Leasing or the delivery partner shall be responsible for changing/replacing the vignette. There is no right to compensation if the Customer does not use the free vignette and has purchased a vignette elsewhere.

 

10.4 Tyres

The vehicle shall be handed over to the Customer with tyres suitable for the season. AMAG Leasing shall decide on the size, make, brand and material of the respective tyres at its own discretion.

 

10.4.1 Change of season

The Customer is responsible for organising a seasonal change of winter or summer tyres in a timely manner. The Customer is to arrange the precise date and time of the tyre change with the authorised servicing company directly. Any tyres removed will be stored with the authorised servicing company. Tyre changes and storage are free of charge for the Customer.

 

10.5 Fluids

If the Customer finds that the level of the following fluids is too low, they need to have them topped up at the servicing company and, if necessary, checked for any leaks:

§  Motor oil

§  Gear oil

§  Service oil

§  Brake fluid

§  Coolant

 

The costs are included in the subscription fee.

 

If the Customer finds that the level of the following fluids is too low, they need to top them up on their own:

§  Wiper fluid

At the end of the subscription period or in the event of premature termination of the Contract, the vehicle must be returned by the Customer with a full tank or fully charged and in an undamaged, cleaned, roadworthy condition corresponding to its age and mileage, along with all keys and corresponding components and documents. The delivery partner (representing AMAG Leasing) and the Customer shall agree on a time and date to return the vehicle. The Customer must return the vehicle to an agreed delivery partner. Collection of the vehicle from the Customer’s home is not an option unless this has been otherwise agreed with the consent of the responsible delivery partner.

 

13.2 Additional kilometres

If the Customer has driven more kilometres than contractually agreed for the subscription period, the authorised delivery partner will invoice the Customer the cost for the additional kilometres in the final invoice. The cost for additional kilometres is CHF 0.75 (including VAT) per additional kilometre.

 

13.3 Return protocol

On return, a return protocol on the condition of the vehicle shall be issued in the presence of the Customer or, for a legal person, an authorised representative, recording the return of the vehicle including corresponding components and documents, and any identifiable damage. Should the Customer not be present in person at the return, the return protocol shall be deemed accepted without the Customer’s signature.

 

13.4 Liability for damage and missing items

The Customer is liable for all missing vehicle items, such as keys, etc., and for any required repair and servicing work that has been caused by use of the vehicle contrary to the Contract by the Customer or persons for whom they are responsible according to the subscription contract.

 

Signs of normal wear and tear such as small stone chips, or scratches around the tank cap/charging cover, door handles and boot lid handles, do not count as damage caused by the Customer. Damage considered to be normal signs of wear and tear can be found in the damage catalogue provided to the Customer on vehicle handover.

 

13.5 Failure to return

If the Customer fails to return the vehicle to the agreed location in a timely manner on the agreed date, the delivery partner is authorised to invoice the Customer for the resulting costs. If the Customer does not comply with the subsequent request to return the vehicle to the agreed location on the agreed date, the delivery partner is authorised to have the vehicle collected from the Customer at the Customer’s expense, without requiring a judicial order to this effect or a deposit. The costs associated with this are due as per the applicable fees listed in section 6.5. AMAG Leasing and authorised third parties, such as the delivery partner and authorised collection companies, are entitled to enter the plot of land or building belonging to the Customer where the vehicle is located for the purpose of retrieving the vehicle.

 

13.6 Keeping the vehicle after the subscription period

As an alternative to returning the vehicle, an agreement can be made before the end of the subscription period for the Customer to purchase the vehicle or take out a lease. The Customer has no right to such a transaction. If the Customer is interested in this option, the delivery partner will notify the Customer of the purchase price and the terms and conditions of the lease before the subscription period ends. Further details and conditions are regulated in a separate purchase agreement between AMAG Leasing and the Customer.

 

13.7 Final invoice

After returning the vehicle, the authorised delivery partner will issue a final invoice in their own name which will include the following elements:

 

a)    If applicable, costs for exceeding the contractually agreed subscription kilometres in accordance with the agreed rate for additional kilometres

b)    If applicable, costs for repairing damage that does not correspond to normal wear and tear

c)    If applicable, costs for replacing or re-procuring documents, keys and other accessories

 

The final invoice must be paid by the Customer within 30 days of the invoice date.

14. Early termination of the Contract

 

Both parties are entitled to terminate the Contract for cause without notice at any time. Good cause in this context refers to any breach of an essential contractual provision.


Examples of breaches of essential contractual provisions by the Customer include in particular:

a)  Failure to pay any fees due under the subscription contract despite having received a reminder to do so

b)  Filing for private bankruptcy or insolvency

c)   Serious violations of traffic regulations and driving in an unfit state

d)  Withdrawal of the driving licence (from the Customer or the main driver)

e)  Use of the vehicle not in accordance with the Contract

f)    If installed in the vehicle, removal of the adapter used for recording telemetry data

g)  Breach of obligations by the Customer (or Authorised User)

h)  Failure to cooperate in case of damage

i)    Violation of statutory regulations that could entail a risk to the reputation of AMAG Leasing

 

A breach of an essential contractual provision on the part of AMAG Leasing is deemed to be a prolonged impossibility of vehicle use for technical reasons, which cannot be remedied by AMAG Leasing or the delivery partner within a reasonable period of time. This also includes a total loss of the vehicle stemming from an accident. AMAG Leasing is entitled to provide the Customer with a replacement vehicle of a value that is at least equivalent to the original vehicle through the delivery partner.

 

14.1 Costs in the event of early termination of the Contract

The mutually agreed date of return of the vehicle to the delivery partner is deemed to be the date of early termination of the Contract.

The agreed monthly subscription fee is also owed in full if the effective return date for the vehicle falls before the last day of the subscription month in question.

AMAG Leasing will invoice for costs incurred as a result of early termination of the Contract due to the Customer’s breach of an essential contractual provision.

The delivery partner is authorised to invoice the Customer in its own name for additional mileage at CHF 0.75 (including VAT) per additional kilometre. Any additional kilometres will be charged pro rata as of the date of early termination of the Contract. There are no refunds for any unused kilometres.

 

15. Liability

Liability shall be governed by the applicable statutory provisions. However, AMAG Leasing shall in no event be liable for (i) slight negligence, (ii) indirect and consequential damages and lost profits, (iii) unrealised savings, (iv) damages arising from delay in delivery or (v) any acts and omissions of AMAG Leasing’s auxiliary persons, and those of the delivery partner or the servicing company, whether contractual or non-contractual.

In all other respects, AMAG Leasing shall decline liability in the following cases:

•      Improper, non-contractual or unlawful storage, adjustment or use of the products

•      Use of incompatible spare parts or accessories (such as the incorrect supply of power)

•      Failure to properly maintain and/or improper modification or repair of products by the Customer or a third party

•      Force majeure, in particular damage caused by the elements, moisture, crashes and impact, etc., for which AMAG Leasing is not responsible, and orders from the authorities

16. Data protection

The AMAG Group’s Privacy Policy applies to the processing of personal information by AMAG Leasing.

17. Partial invalidity

Should individual provisions of these GSTC become invalid or ineffective, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or these GSTC and the Contract as a whole.

18. Jurisdiction and applicable law

All legal relationships between AMAG Leasing and the Customer are subject to Swiss substantive law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this Contract is the registered office of AMAG Leasing AG in Cham, Zug. However, AMAG Leasing AG reserves the right to take legal action in the place where the registered office of the defending contracting party is located. Cases in which civil procedure law prescribes a different place of jurisdiction are excluded from the clause assigning jurisdiction.

 [A1]I don't think we need the 'also' in English. It just seems out of context and I think it's being used to contrast from the previous segment.

 [A3]Since we're talking about 'nicht zulässige Servicebetrieben' below, I think 'authorised' or even 'approved' sounds more natural than 'responsible' in this context.

1.            Start and end of agreement

The rental agreement for camper vans (hereinafter referred to as the Agreement) shall remain in effect from the time of Vehicle handover to the contractually agreed time of Vehicle return.

 

2.            Vehicle handover

The Garage shall inspect the Vehicle prior to the handover and provide it with a full tank of fuel in a clean, checked, damage-free condition and with the necessary documents. Customer complaints about the vehicle or its accessories must be reported to the Garage immediately when the Vehicle is handed over.

 

3.            Vehicle return

The Vehicle, together with its accessories, shall be returned on time to the location where it was received. In the event of a delay, the Customer must compensate the Garage for any associated damage and shall be liable for any accidental damage beyond the general liability regulations. The Vehicle may only be returned during the Garage’s agreed time slot and must be returned directly to the Garage or its representatives. The mere parking of the Vehicle at the Garage or the mere parking of the Vehicle outside of opening hours and dropping off of the keys at the Garage alone shall not constitute a return and does not release the Customer from the obligation to return the Vehicle on time and in person.

When the Vehicle is returned, the Vehicle condition, the completeness of the equipment, any damage and full refuelling are checked by means of a return report, which must be signed by the Customer. The Vehicle exterior is cleaned by the Garage. Hidden defects are documented and invoiced to the Customer. The Vehicle must be returned to the Garage with a full tank of fuel, cleaned interior, empty fresh-water and waste-water tanks, and complete equipment.

  • If the Vehicle is not returned fully refuelled, the Garage will charge a flat handling fee of CHF 40.00 in addition to the cost of filling up with fuel.
  • If the Vehicle interior is heavily soiled, the Garage reserves the right to charge the Customer the additional costs for cleaning.
  • The waste-water tank must be returned cleaned, while the fresh-water tank and the waste-water tank must be completely emptied. If the water tanks are not cleaned or emptied, the Garage will charge a flat fee of CHF 150.00.

 

4.            Extension of the Agreement term

The Agreement term may only be extended with the written consent of the Garage prior to the expiry of the current Agreement term. The Garage may choose to deny the extension without specifying any reasons. Where the Garage agrees to the extension of the Agreement term, all the terms and conditions of the original agreement shall continue to apply, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

 

5.            Early return of the Vehicle

Returning the Vehicle early within the scope of the Agreement shall not entitle the Customer to any reductions or refunds.

 

6.            Late return

The rental price is calculated per rental day. A rental day is equivalent to 24 hours, unless otherwise stipulated in the Agreement. In the event of a late return of more than 60 minutes, one additional rental day will be charged for each 24 hours started (start of the 60 minutes is from the latest return time in the agreed return time slot).

 

7.            Repairs

Any defects that the Customer does not have to remedy themselves must be reported immediately via the Totalmobil Helpline. Contact within Switzerland: +41 848 024 365 / contact from abroad: +41 44 846 14 14 The Garage must also be informed immediately.

The Customer shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred based on the aforementioned commitment to cover costs upon presentation of the corresponding receipts at the time the Vehicle is returned.

 

8.            Conduct in case of accident or unforeseen events

In case of events such as an accident, theft (burglary, embezzlement, etc.), loss, fire, damage caused by animals or other damage, the Customer must notify the police and obtain a police report.

This also applies in the case of at-fault accidents not involving third parties. The Customer shall not be entitled to recognise third-party claims. In any case, the Totalmobil Helpline must be informed immediately.

In the event of Vehicle theft, any remaining available vehicle keys, a report on how the theft occurred and the police report must be submitted to the Garage within 24 hours.

 

9.            Prohibited use/restrictions on entering and leaving the country

The Customer shall be prohibited from using the Vehicle:

a.       To participate in motorsport events, vehicle tests or driving lessons.

10.         Liability of the Customer

a.       The Customer shall be liable for all damage that arises for the Garage as a result of any unlawful or careless conduct or actions in violation of the Agreement on the part of the Customer or their Auxiliaries, regardless of whether they are culpable for such conduct and/or actions.

b.       The Customer shall also be liable for all defects and/or damage to the Vehicle for which they are responsible. This includes in particular, but is not limited to, damage that arises as a result of: failure to observe maximum heights for garage entrances, underpasses, etc.; improper use of snow chains or ski racks, or careless loading of ski racks; careless handling of the Vehicle interior (in particular cigarette holes or cracks and stains on upholstery and carpets); driving off-road and generally careless handling (in particular damage to the underbody, such as damage to the steering, transmission or suspension, or damage to axle parts, sills, oil pans, pipes, exhaust systems, shielding plates or covers); improper handling of the vehicle (mechanical damage to the clutch, transmission, suspension, etc., not covered by the Garage’s warranty).

d.       Where fines or penalties arise in relation to the use of the Vehicle for which the Garage is made responsible, the Customer must provide the Garage with compensation for the corresponding amount plus any administration fees.

In the event of any road traffic violations within or outside of Switzerland, the Customer shall authorise the Garage to provide all relevant authorities (police, legal professionals, road traffic officials, etc.) in Switzerland and abroad with the necessary contract information.

Where coverage in line with the principles of comprehensive cover has been agreed, the extent of liability on the part of the Customer shall be reduced to the contractually agreed excess amount. This limitation of liability shall not apply to damage listed under Section 10b where no coverage has been agreed for the Garage’s damage in the specific case at hand. The limitation shall also not apply to damage that arises during the Vehicle’s use by an unauthorised driver or for a prohibited purpose, in the event of a hit and run on the part of the Customer and in the case of damage caused by intent or gross negligence in accordance with the Swiss Road Traffic Act (SVG), in particular as a result of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as well as for damage caused by the Vehicle’s cargo.

e.       In all other cases, any potential limitation extended to the Customer by the Garage shall only be valid where this is confirmed in writing.

 

11.         Liability of the Garage

The Garage shall not be liable to the Customer nor third parties for any accidental damage that occurs during the term of the Agreement. The Garage shall also not be liable for damage incurred by the Customer as a result of any defect on the Vehicle that prevents further travel or otherwise causes a loss of time or other consequential damage.

Older Versions

1. Scope

These General Subscription Terms and Conditions apply to the contractual relationship between AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG (hereinafter referred to as AMAG), Alte Steinhauserstrasse 1, 6330 Cham, and the subscriber (hereinafter referred to as the Customer) of a vehicle provided by AMAG.

AMAG reserves the right to change the subscription conditions at any time. However, the version of these subscription conditions in force at the time of conclusion of the legal transaction shall be authoritative and may not be unilaterally amended for this legal transaction. Any terms and conditions of the Customer that conflict with or deviate from these General Subscription Terms and Conditions shall not be recognised.

 

Deliveries are made exclusively to addresses in Switzerland. The offer is valid as long as the product is advertised in the online shop.

2. Illustration of the product and product description

The vehicle offered is a vehicle that actually exists. There is always the possibility that there will be differences between the product photo and the original vehicle. The product photo is therefore non-binding and serves illustrative purposes only. Due to differences in country configurations, the actual equipment may differ from the equipment listed in the product description.

3. Features of the vehicle

The vehicle is described in the online shop. The vehicle offered is not a vehicle that has suffered significant damage in an accident (such as damage to the chassis structure/chassis frame or the like). The right is reserved to make minor, reasonable changes to the vehicle described in the subscription contract with regard to shape, colour or scope of delivery. However, AMAG is not obligated to deliver a modified version. Measurements and data included in brochures, lists or elsewhere represent only approximate values. The energy data correspond to the type approval for the vehicle model at the time of the quote or subscription contract, collected in statutory test operations. The specifications of the vehicle may differ for technical reasons or due to individual configuration. Different consumption levels may result in practice depending on the style of driving. The information on the energy efficiency class corresponds to the classification at the time of the quote or subscription contract. The vehicle may be assigned a different efficiency class at the time of delivery (without changes in levels) due to annual statutory adjustments.

 

4. Conclusion of contract

The products and prices in the online shop are considered an offer, but this offer is always subject to availability.

The offer of products and services in the online shop (hereinafter referred to as the “offer”) is directed exclusively at natural persons or legal entities with legal capacity and a fixed place of residence or domicile in Switzerland. The Customer must have a valid driving licence valid in Switzerland for the relevant vehicle category and, according to AMAG’s discretion, be of sufficient creditworthiness or of sound financial position to meet the financial obligations arising from this contract. If the driver’s licence is issued abroad, they also confirm that their driver’s licence is valid in Switzerland for the duration of the intended rental period. The existence of the prerequisites for the conclusion of a contract is verified by AMAG. To this end, the Customer is asked to provide various details about themselves and their financial circumstances and to submit corresponding documents. As soon as the Customer has received the written order confirmation by e-mail, the subscription contract is concluded for products or services, subject to availability and a positive credit rating.

4.1 Use

The Customer may also allow third parties (hereinafter “Authorised Users”) to use the vehicle, provided that they meet the requirements applicable to the Customer and are willing to comply with the obligations defined in these General Subscription Terms and Conditions.

 

4.1.1 Use for commercial passenger transport

Use of the vehicle for commercial passenger transport (as a taxi, Uber, etc.) is prohibited.

 

4.2 Authorised Users

The Customer may also allow third parties (hereinafter “Authorised Users”) to use the vehicle, provided that they meet the requirements applicable to the Customer and are willing to comply with the obligations defined in these General Subscription Terms and Conditions.

 

The Customer must ensure that the Authorised Users fulfil these requirements at all times. As a contractual partner of AMAG, the Customer is responsible for the Authorised Users’ compliance with the contractual obligations. The Customer shall provide AMAG with the personal details of the Authorised Users upon request, ensuring beforehand that the Authorised Users are informed of this and of the associated data processing.

4.3 Travel outside of Switzerland

The vehicle will be used primarily in Switzerland. The vehicle may also be driven abroad (e.g. for holiday purposes). Use of the vehicle is limited to the following countries:

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and the Vatican City State.

For travel outside Switzerland, the Customer is obliged to carry in the vehicle any additional documents and safety accessories required for this purpose, such as safety vests or first-aid kits. The International Insurance Card (Green Card) can be ordered through Zurich [International Insurance Card – Zurich Switzerland].

5. Contract period and notice periods

 

5.1 Subscription periods

The Customer and AMAG agree on a minimum contract period and a maximum contract period. The agreed minimum contract period can be viewed in the Customer account and begins on the day the vehicle is handed over to the Customer. The maximum contract period is 24 months.


After expiry of the respective minimum contract period, the subscription is automatically extended by one month until duly terminated or until the end of the maximum contract period is reached.

 

5.2 Notice period

After expiry of the minimum contract period, either party may terminate the contractual relationship as of the end of the subscription month (depending on the date of handover of the vehicle) by giving 30 days’ notice. The right to terminate the contract prematurely in accordance with section 14 is reserved. Returning the vehicle before the last day of a subscription month does not lead to an early termination of the contract and therefore also not to a pro rata calculation of the cost of the last subscription month. If the Customer does not make use of their right of termination, the contract ends automatically upon expiry of the maximum contract period. The right to terminate the contract prematurely in accordance with section 14 is reserved.


AMAG reserves the right to adjust both vehicle-dependent and vehicle-independent prices and will communicate this to the Customer in writing. The agreed conditions apply in each case for the contractual minimum contract period or until the next possible termination date.

 

5.3 Requesting a replacement vehicle

The Customer may not request a different vehicle during the minimum contract period. If the Customer is provided with a different vehicle after the end of the minimum term, a new minimum contract period begins for the new vehicle. It is not possible to offset the contract period of the previous vehicle against the new minimum term for the new vehicle.

6. Subscription fee and other payment obligations

 

6.1 Subscription fee

The subscription fee for the first subscription month will be charged to the customer’s credit card on the day that the booking is accepted. Delivery can only take place once the first payment has been successfully debited. For all subsequent months of use, the Customer’s credit card will be charged in the amount of the defined subscription fee on the same day of the month that the original handover took place. The credit card will be charged monthly by a payment service provider authorised by AMAG.

6.2 Late payment or an expired credit card

 

6.2.1 Credit card invalid

The Customer will be notified of their expiring credit card by the payment service provider used by AMAG. If the validity period of the Customer’s credit card has expired, the Customer will receive an e-mail request to update the credit card information.

 

6.3 Payment default, late payment

If the instalment cannot be collected by credit card within one week after the due date, the Customer will receive a reminder.

1. Scope

These General Subscription Terms and Conditions apply to the contractual relationship between AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG (hereinafter referred to as AMAG), Alte Steinhauserstrasse 1, 6330 Cham, and the subscriber (hereinafter referred to as the Customer) of a vehicle provided by AMAG.

AMAG reserves the right to change the subscription conditions at any time.

Deliveries are made exclusively to addresses in Switzerland. The offer is valid as long as the product is advertised in the online shop.

2. Illustration of the product and product description

The vehicle offered is a vehicle that actually exists. There is always the possibility that there will be differences between the product photo and the original vehicle.

The vehicle is described in the online shop. The vehicle offered is not a vehicle that has suffered significant damage in an accident (such as damage to the chassis structure/chassis frame or the like).

However, AMAG is not obligated to deliver a modified version. Measurements and data included in brochures, lists or elsewhere represent only approximate values. The energy data correspond to the type approval for the vehicle model at the time of the quote or subscription contract, collected in statutory test operations. The specifications of the vehicle may differ for technical reasons or due to individual configuration. Different consumption levels may result in practice depending on the style of driving. The information on the energy efficiency class corresponds to the classification at the time of the quote or subscription contract. The vehicle may be assigned a different efficiency class at the time of delivery (without changes in levels) due to annual statutory adjustments.

The Customer and AMAG agree on a minimum contract period and a maximum contract period. The agreed minimum contract period can be viewed in the Customer account and begins on the day the vehicle is handed over to the Customer. The maximum contract period is 24 months.


After expiry of the respective minimum contract period, the subscription is automatically extended by one month until duly terminated or until the end of the maximum contract period is reached.

 

5.2 Notice period

After expiry of the minimum contract period, either party may terminate the contractual relationship as of the end of the subscription month (depending on the date of handover of the vehicle) by giving 30 days’ notice. The right to terminate the contract prematurely in accordance with section 14 is reserved. Returning the vehicle before the last day of a subscription month does not lead to an early termination of the contract and therefore also not to a pro rata calculation of the cost of the last subscription month. If the Customer does not make use of their right of termination, the contract ends automatically upon expiry of the maximum contract period. The right to terminate the contract prematurely in accordance with section 14 is reserved.


AMAG reserves the right to adjust both vehicle-dependent and vehicle-independent prices and will communicate this to the Customer in writing. The agreed conditions apply in each case for the contractual minimum contract period or until the next possible termination date.

 

5.3 Requesting a replacement vehicle

The Customer may not request a different vehicle during the minimum contract period. If the Customer is provided with a different vehicle after the end of the minimum term, a new minimum contract period begins for the new vehicle. It is not possible to offset the contract period of the previous vehicle against the new minimum term for the new vehicle.

6. Subscription fee and other payment obligations

 

6.1 Subscription fee

The subscription fee for the first subscription month will be charged to the customer’s credit card on the day that the booking is accepted. Delivery can only take place once the first payment has been successfully debited.  For all subsequent months of use, the Customer’s credit card will be charged in the amount of the defined subscription fee on the same day of the month that the original handover took place. The credit card will be charged monthly by a payment service provider authorised by AMAG.

6.2 Late payment or an expired credit card

 

6.2.1 Credit card invalid

The Customer will be notified of their expiring credit card by the payment service provider used by AMAG. If the validity period of the Customer’s credit card has expired, the Customer will receive an e-mail request to update the credit card information.

 

6.3 Payment default, late payment

If the instalment cannot be collected by credit card within one week after the due date, the Customer will receive a reminder. If the Customer does not respond to this reminder within a period of five (5) working days, the Customer will receive notice of termination of the contract and a request to return the vehicle. The Customer will also be asked to settle outstanding invoices upon return of the vehicle.

 

6.4 Kilometre bundles

If, at the end of the contract period, the selected mileage is found to have been exceeded by the Customer, the additional kilometres will be charged to the Customer when the contract period ends. AMAG charges the Customer CHF 0.40 per additional kilometre. Kilometres not driven within a given month of the contract period will be carried over to the following months of the contract period.


No reimbursement will be provided for any agreed kilometres that are not driven. It is not possible to transfer the kilometres not driven to a new subscription or vehicle.

The same rule applies to all other newly introduced or raised public fees relevant to the contractual relationship.

7. Ownership and right of disposal

7.1 Details of ownership

The vehicle remains the property of AMAG for the entire duration of the contract. Rights in rem or a right of retention of the vehicle on the part of the Customer for the purpose of asserting claims against AMAG are excluded.

8. Availability

AMAG attaches great importance to providing up-to-date and accurate information on availability in the online shop. Particularly if there is a great deal of interest in a product, it may be that the product appears in the online shop but is no longer available. All information on availability is therefore without guarantee and may change before conclusion of the legal transaction.

9. Vehicle handover

The booked vehicle will be handed over by the Customer at an AMAG business or, in the case of home delivery, at the Customer’s place of residence. The date of handover is agreed between AMAG and the Customer. The vehicle is handed over with a full tank of petrol/fully charged and with the currently valid motorway vignette.

18. Jurisdiction and applicable law

All legal relationships between AMAG and the Customer are subject to Swiss substantive law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the registered office of AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG in Cham, Zug. However, AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG reserves the right to take legal action in the place where the registered office of the defending contracting party is located. Cases in which the law of civil procedure prescribes a different place of jurisdiction are excluded from the clause assigning jurisdiction.

1. Scope

These General Subscription Terms and Conditions apply to the contractual relationship between AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG (hereinafter referred to as AMAG), Alte Steinhauserstrasse 1, 6330 Cham, and the subscriber (hereinafter referred to as the Customer) of a vehicle provided by AMAG.

AMAG reserves the right to change the subscription conditions at any time. However, the version of these subscription conditions in force at the time of conclusion of the legal transaction shall be authoritative and may not be unilaterally amended for this legal transaction. Any terms and conditions of the Customer that conflict with or deviate from these General Subscription Terms and Conditions shall not be recognised.

Deliveries are made exclusively to addresses in Switzerland. The offer is valid as long as the product is advertised in the online shop.

2. Illustration of the product and product description

The vehicle offered is a vehicle that actually exists. There is always the possibility that there will be differences between the product photo and the original vehicle. The product photo is therefore non-binding and serves illustrative purposes only. Due to differences in country configurations, the actual equipment may differ from the equipment listed in the product description.

3. Features of the vehicle

The vehicle is described in the online shop. The vehicle offered is not a vehicle that has suffered significant damage in an accident (such as damage to the chassis structure/chassis frame or the like). The right is reserved to make minor, reasonable changes to the vehicle described in the subscription contract with regard to shape, colour or scope of delivery. However, AMAG is not obligated to deliver a modified version. Measurements and data included in brochures, lists or elsewhere represent only approximate values. The energy data correspond to the type approval for the vehicle model at the time of the quote or subscription contract, collected in statutory test operations. The specifications of the vehicle may differ for technical reasons or due to individual configuration. Different consumption levels may result in practice depending on the style of driving. The information on the energy efficiency class corresponds to the classification at the time of the quote or subscription contract. The vehicle may be assigned a different efficiency class at the time of delivery (without changes in levels) due to annual statutory adjustments.

 

4. Conclusion of contract

The products and prices in the online shop are considered an offer, but this offer is always subject to availability.

The offer of products and services in the online shop (hereinafter referred to as the “offer”) is directed exclusively at natural persons or legal entities with legal capacity and a fixed place of residence or domicile in Switzerland. The Customer must have a valid driving licence for the relevant vehicle category and, according to AMAG’s discretion, be of sufficient creditworthiness or of sound financial position to meet the financial obligations arising from this contract. The existence of the prerequisites for the conclusion of a contract is verified by AMAG. To this end, the Customer is asked to provide various details about themselves and their financial circumstances and to submit corresponding documents. As soon as the Customer has received the written order confirmation by e-mail, the subscription contract is concluded for products or services, subject to availability and a positive credit rating.

4.1 Use

The Customer may also allow third parties (hereinafter “Authorised Users”) to use the vehicle, provided that they meet the requirements applicable to the Customer and are willing to comply with the obligations defined in these General Subscription Terms and Conditions.

 

4.1.1 Use for commercial passenger transport

Use of the vehicle for commercial passenger transport (as a taxi, Uber, etc.) is prohibited.

 

4.2 Authorised Users

The Customer may also allow third parties (hereinafter “Authorised Users”) to use the vehicle, provided that they meet the requirements applicable to the Customer and are willing to comply with the obligations defined in these General Subscription Terms and Conditions.

 

The Customer must ensure that the Authorised Users fulfil these requirements at all times. As a contractual partner of AMAG, the Customer is responsible for the Authorised Users’ compliance with the contractual obligations. The Customer shall provide AMAG with the personal details of the Authorised Users upon request, ensuring beforehand that the Authorised Users are informed of this and of the associated data processing.

4.3 Travel outside of Switzerland

The vehicle will be used primarily in Switzerland. The vehicle may also be driven abroad (e.g. for holiday purposes). Use of the vehicle is limited to the following countries:

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and the Vatican City State.

5. Contract period and notice periods

 

5.1 Subscription periods

The Customer and AMAG agree on a minimum contract period and a maximum contract period. The agreed minimum contract period can be viewed in the Customer account and begins on the day the vehicle is handed over to the Customer. The maximum contract period is 24 months.


After expiry of the respective minimum contract period, the subscription is automatically extended by one month until duly terminated or until the end of the maximum contract period is reached.

 

5.2 Notice period

After expiry of the minimum contract period, either party may terminate the contractual relationship as of the end of the subscription month (depending on the date of handover of the vehicle) by giving 30 days’ notice. The right to terminate the contract prematurely in accordance with section 14 is reserved. Returning the vehicle before the last day of a subscription month does not lead to an early termination of the contract and therefore also not to a pro rata calculation of the cost of the last subscription month. If the Customer does not make use of their right of termination, the contract ends automatically upon expiry of the maximum contract period. The right to terminate the contract prematurely in accordance with section 14 is reserved.


AMAG reserves the right to adjust both vehicle-dependent and vehicle-independent prices and will communicate this to the Customer in writing. The agreed conditions apply in each case for the contractual minimum contract period or until the next possible termination date.

 

5.3 Requesting a replacement vehicle

The Customer may not request a different vehicle during the minimum contract period. If the Customer is provided with a different vehicle after the end of the minimum term, a new minimum contract period begins for the new vehicle. It is not possible to offset the contract period of the previous vehicle against the new minimum term for the new vehicle.

6. Subscription fee and other payment obligations

 

6.1 Subscription fee

The subscription fee for the first subscription month will be charged to the Customer’s credit card on the day the vehicle is handed over.

6.3 Payment default, late payment

If the instalment cannot be collected by credit card within one week after the due date, the Customer will receive a reminder.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the registered office of AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG in Cham, Zug. However, AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG reserves the right to take legal action in the place where the registered office of the defending contracting party is located. Cases in which the law of civil procedure prescribes a different place of jurisdiction are excluded from the clause assigning jurisdiction.

1. Scope

These General Rental Terms and Conditions apply to the contractual relationship between AMAG Automobil- und Motoren AG (hereinafter referred to as AMAG), Alte Steinhauserstrasse 1, 6330 Cham, as the Rental Company, and the renter (hereinafter referred to as the Customer) of a vehicle rented out by AMAG.

 

AMAG reserves the right to change the rental conditions at any time. However, the version of these General Rental Terms and Conditions in force at the time of conclusion of the legal transaction shall be authoritative and may not be unilaterally amended for this legal transaction. Any terms and conditions of the Customer that conflict with or deviate from these General Rental Terms and Conditions shall not be recognised.

Deliveries are made exclusively to addresses in Switzerland. The offer is valid as long as the product is advertised in the online shop.

2. Illustration of the product and product description

The vehicle offered is a vehicle that actually exists. There is always the possibility that there will be differences between the product photo and the original vehicle. The product photo is therefore non-binding and serves illustrative purposes only. Due to differences in country configurations, the actual equipment may differ from the equipment listed in the product description.

3. Features of the vehicle

The vehicle is described in the online shop. The vehicle offered is not a vehicle that has suffered significant damage in an accident (such as damage to the chassis structure/chassis frame or the like). The right is reserved to make minor, reasonable changes to the vehicle described in the rental contract with regard to shape, colour or scope of delivery. However, the Rental Company is not obligated to deliver a modified version. Measurements and data included in brochures, lists or elsewhere represent only approximate values. The energy data correspond to the type approval for the vehicle model at the time of the quote or rental contract, collected in statutory test operations. The specifications of the vehicle may differ for technical reasons or due to individual configuration. Different consumption levels may result in practice depending on the style of driving. The information on the energy efficiency class corresponds to the classification at the time of the quote or rental contract. The vehicle may be assigned a different efficiency class at the time of delivery (without changes in levels) due to annual statutory adjustments.

 

4. Conclusion of contract

The products and prices in the online shop are considered an offer, but this offer is always subject to availability.

The offer of products and services in the online shop (hereinafter referred to as the “offer”) is directed exclusively at natural persons or legal entities with legal capacity and a fixed place of residence or domicile in Switzerland. The renter must have a valid driving licence for the relevant vehicle category and, according to AMAG’s discretion, be of sufficient creditworthiness or of sound financial position to meet the financial obligations arising from this contract. The existence of the prerequisites for the conclusion of a contract is verified by AMAG. To this end, the Customer is asked to provide various details about themselves and their financial circumstances and to submit corresponding documents. As soon as the Customer has received the written order confirmation by e-mail, the rental contract is concluded for products or services, subject to availability and a positive credit rating.

4.1 Use

The Customer may only use the vehicle for private and commercial purposes. They may not use the vehicle for racing competitions involving speed, endurance, skill or other factors, for the transport of hazardous goods, for participation in driver safety training or for similar purposes.

 

4.1.1 Use for commercial passenger transport

Use of the vehicle for commercial passenger transport (as a taxi, Uber, etc.) is prohibited.

 

4.2 Authorised Users

The Customer may also allow third parties (hereinafter “Authorised Users”) to use the vehicle, provided that they meet the requirements applicable to the Customer and are willing to comply with the obligations defined in these General Rental Terms and Conditions.

 

The Customer must ensure that the Authorised Users fulfil these requirements at all times. As a contractual partner of AMAG, the Customer is responsible for the Authorised Users’ compliance with the contractual obligations. The Customer shall provide AMAG with the personal details of the Authorised Users upon request, ensuring beforehand that the Authorised Users are informed of this and of the associated data processing.

5. Rental period and notice periods

 

5.1 Subscription periods

The Customer and AMAG agree on a minimum rental period and a maximum rental period. The agreed minimum rental period can be viewed in the Customer account and begins on the day the vehicle is handed over to the Customer. The maximum rental period is 24 months.


After expiry of the respective minimum rental period, the subscription is automatically extended by one month until duly terminated or until the end of the maximum rental period is reached.

 

5.2 Notice period

After expiry of the minimum rental period, either party may terminate the rental relationship as of the end of the subscription month (depending on the date of handover of the rental vehicle) by giving 30 days’ notice. The right to terminate the contract prematurely in accordance with section 14 is reserved. Returning the vehicle before the last day of a subscription month does not lead to an early termination of the contract and therefore also not to a pro rata calculation of the cost of the last subscription month. If the Customer does not make use of their right of termination, the contract ends automatically upon expiry of the maximum rental period. The right to terminate the contract prematurely in accordance with section 14 is reserved.


AMAG reserves the right to adjust both vehicle-dependent and vehicle-independent prices and will communicate this to the Customer in writing. The agreed conditions apply in each case for the contractual minimum rental period or until the next possible termination date.

 

5.3 Requesting a replacement vehicle

The Customer may not request a different vehicle during the minimum rental period. If the Customer is provided with a different vehicle after the end of the minimum term, a new minimum rental period begins for the new vehicle.
