Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" for this web analytics service, i.e., text files are stored on your computer, which, in turn, enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then stored there. We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "anonymizeIp" in order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Thus, your IP address will only be truncated by Google within the member states of the EU or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In a few exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then truncated there. On the basis of these stored cookies, Google can then evaluate your use of the website and provide a compilation of a report on website activities. On the basis of this report, Google can then also provide other services related to use of the website and Internet to the website provider. Google Analytics will not collate your IP address transmitted by your browser with other Google data. If this evaluation based on your stay on our site is not in your interest, you can prevent the storage or installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. We would like at the same time to inform you that, in this case, you will not be able to use all the functions of our website in full.

3. Purchase order

Prices

Product prices listed prior to order submission (displayed in the ordering step “Order Summary”) shall be considered as binding. Delivery costs vary depending on the purchase value and the country.

VAT-free deliveries are possible to countries outside Switzerland and Germany. Tax-free orders are allowed via the online shop if the subsequent EUID examination (carried out automatically) via the Federal Central Tax Office in Germany is positive.

Order confirmation

All orders are confirmed by i-like Metaphysik GmbH and are subject to Swiss law. For credit card payments, the credit card shall only be charged after the order has been received in our system, and the order confirmation has been submitted. Ordered products which are unavailable at the time of delivery will be delivered as soon as possible.

The contract of purchase is concluded upon receipt of your order and its electronic acceptance by i-like (order confirmation). No order supplements or cancellations shall be allowed after the order has been received.

Payment methods

3.1 Subscription Order

Scope of Validity

This section governs the contractual relationships between the Subscriber and i-like Metaphysik GmbH. These terms and conditions form part of each subscription contract and affect every subscription order.

Services of i-like Metaphysics GmbH

i-like Metaphysik GmbH offers subscribers a selected range of high quality products as part of a 3-month subscription. i-like Metaphysik GmbH is entitled to make content-related modifications and adjustments to the product range at any time. For the overview and customisation of the subscription, an edit and view option will be sent from i-like Metaphysik GmbH to the customer account / back office of the subscriber.

Services of the subscriber

The services used by the subscriber are billed by i-like Metaphysik GmbH at the respective valid prices and according to the conditions. The subscriber undertakes to pay the applicable prices within the defined period. The term of payment is immediately by credit card, and subsequent payments are made automatically on the 16th of the following month (see the section “Payment Methods” below). If a payment is not made on time, i-like Metaphysik GmbH is entitled to stop providing its services immediately.

Contractual Term and Termination

The subscription agreement between i-like Metaphysik GmbH and the subscriber is concluded for a minimum term. The contractual period is at least 3 months. The subscription will automatically continue after the minimum period of 3 months until it is terminated. If an item is added to a current customer subscription, the minimum 3 month term will start again (from the date of the saved change / adjustment). For i-like distribution partners, the deadlines according to the subscription declaration apply here. Subscribers may customise their subscription at any time and add or remove items. At least one item must be assigned to the subscription by the end of the contractual period. The subscriber may give notice on a subscription at any time at the earliest possible termination date. The earliest possible termination date is displayed to the subscriber in his customer account / back office under subscription management.

Payment methods

Only a credit card may be used as the payment method for subscriptions. Your credit card details are stored encrypted in the system and your subscription order value is automatically debited on the 16th of the following month. Ensure that your subscription is variably customisable (by you). This means that different charges may be incurred during the contractual period. Price changes made by i-like Metaphysik GmbH can also result in price adjustments to the subscription.

Final provisions for subscription orders

If any provision of these GTCs is or becomes invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced by one which, in a legally-effective manner, approximates as closely as possible the meaning and purpose of the invalidated provision. The same shall apply in the event that a loophole is found in the contract. i-like Metaphysik GmbH reserves the express right to change these terms and conditions at any time. General terms & conditions apply.
