1. Introduction and scope of application

Meaty SA, headquartered at Boulevard Pont-d'Arve 61, is a Swiss company registered in the Commercial Register.

Meaty SA owns the meaty.ch domain and operates the website available at this address.

See the legal notice page for more information about the publication.

By browsing this site, you accept these terms and conditions of use.

In particular, when you place an order on this site, you expressly and fully accept section 2 of the general conditions of use relating to the general conditions of sale.

2. Terms and conditions of sale - Ordering on the site

A. Sales contract

When you place an order on the site, you are entering into a purchase/sale contract within the meaning of Articles 184 ff. of the Swiss Code of Obligations.

You act as buyer and the company as seller.

B. Prices

The price of the pieces is determined by their price per kilo.

The weight is indicated on our website for information only.

A surcharge of 20% is then applied to each order as a "safety margin". This is an amount which we reserve the right to use depending on other orders for the animal sold. In practice, this contribution enables us to adjust your order within the above limit to ensure that all parts of the animal find takers and thus avoid wastage. If this contribution is not necessary, it will be reimbursed in full once your order has been collected or delivered.

Meat is invoiced by net weight.

Delivery and other costs are extra.

The prices displayed on our site are not guaranteed until you have placed your order and obtained confirmation.

Payment is immediately debited from your credit card.

C. Order confirmation

When you place your order, you can choose between collection from a collection point or delivery. In principle, this choice is final. You agree to fill in the fields concerning collection or delivery completely and accurately.

Once you have validated your order, an order confirmation is automatically sent to you by email.

Please check your junk mail and make sure you have received your order confirmation. If in doubt, please contact us via the contact page.

D. Collection or delivery of order and transfer of risk

a. Withdrawal

If you choose the collection point option, your order will be delivered to our collection point as soon as possible.

We will notify you by email and SMS at least one day in advance of any withdrawal possibilities.

As soon as you receive the email or SMS, we are released from all liability (transfer of risk).

You undertake to collect your order as soon as possible, as soon as it is available at our collection point.

For health reasons, the order is kept for a limited time at the collection point. The storage period depends on the items ordered. After the time limit, the order is automatically destroyed, with no right to reimbursement.

b. Delivery

If you choose delivery, your order will be delivered as soon as possible according to the information you have previously provided.

We will notify you of a delivery form by email and SMS at least one day before delivery. You agree to return the completed delivery form to us as soon as possible.

We are released from all liability from the moment the order is delivered (transfer of risk).

For sanitary reasons, if you are not present at the appointment agreed with the carrier to collect your order, it may be destroyed, with no right to reimbursement.

Delivery possibilities are limited to the territory of the Republic and Canton of Geneva, excluding Céligny.

E. Warranties and liabilities

We comply with the legal requirements applicable to the production and trading of foodstuffs.

Meaty has no "organic" certification. The "organic farming" description on the site indicates that the farmer from whom the meat comes complies with Swiss organic farming practices as defined by the labels to which they are certified.

We are only liable for direct damage caused by gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Liability for direct damage caused by slight negligence is expressly excluded within the limits of the law. Liability for indirect or consequential damage is expressly excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law, as is liability for the negligence of vicarious agents.

F. Billing

Once the delivery or collection date has passed, we send you a final invoice by email, stating the quantities ordered, delivery charges, discounts, safety margin, actual quantities and amount refunded. We invoice by net weight.

In the event of a promotion, the amount deducted from the initial price (hereinafter the "discount") is determined at the time of purchase and appears on the order confirmation. The discount is fixed and does not depend on the actual weight of the pieces.

You have 2 days to lodge a complaint against the invoice. In the absence of a complaint within this period, the sale will be finalized and we will refund any overpayment within one week. The time taken to receive payment depends on the payment method used and the payment service provider. Meaty SA accepts no responsibility for this delay.

G. Miscellaneous

a. Notifications

You agree that all notifications designated as such under this contract will be made by email or SMS exclusively. In the event of a dispute, our proof of dispatch of the email or SMS shall prevail. If emails or SMSs sent to you are treated as SPAM or are not received for any reason beyond our control, they are still validly notified.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the contact details you provide to us for email and SMS notifications and understand that in the event of an error on your part, we cannot be held responsible for any damage arising from incorrectly entered contact details.
