Orders
All orders are subject to acceptance and availability.

Fogal offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch from our distribution center. Please be aware that we may be unable to deliver selected merchandise due to production problems or quality check issues identified when we receive an order into stock. In these circumstances we will notify you by e-mail and refund the Payment to your credit card within thirty days of being advised that merchandise has become unavailable.

Please note that items in your shopping basket are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.

Destinations Served
Due to logistical and legal limitations, we do not provide automated and online services for all destinations worldwide. If your destination lies in a country or territory not listed, you may contact our customer service at customer-service@fogal.com We will contact you asap to check for possible shipping alternatives and costs.

The list of all destinations served is available on this website (Customer Service).

Pricing Policy
Prices shown on the site are in the indicated currency. We allocate one lead currency to each receiving country. All payments will be invoiced and – in the case of credit card payments – deducted from your credit card in the shown currency only. Please note, that prices depending on destination may not be including VAT and import taxes and that it may occur, that you are eligible to pay such taxes to local government agencies or service providers. Each country charges different import taxes which will be paid by the customer when receiving the shipment.

All prices and offers remain valid as advertised from time to time. The price of a product displayed on the site at the time the order is accepted will be honoured.

Product prices are set according to Fogal’s retail price list but may differ from shop prices due to tax regulations or exchange rate fluctuations.

If you are a customer whose credit card is not denominated in the given currency, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your credit card company processes the transaction.

Acceptance of your Order
Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an e-mail acknowledging the details of your order. This e-mail is NOT an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that we have received it.

Acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and Fogal will be completed when we e-mail you to confirm the goods have been despatched. The sale contract is therefore concluded in Zürich, Switzerland, and the language of the contract is English or German.

We reserve the right not to accept your order in the following events: (1) that we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment; (2) that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn; (3) that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the T&C.

We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from the site whether or not that merchandise has been sold; removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the site; refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

Payment by Credit Card
Payment can be made by Visa, MasterCard and any other methods which may be clearly advertised on the site from time to time. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account upon dispatch of your order by Fogal. You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to Fogal, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

We take all reasonable care to make our site secure. All credit card transactions on this site are processed using Postfinance (a subsidiary of Swiss Post), a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment. If you are a registered Fogal user, we will securely store your credit card details on our systems. These details will be fully encrypted and only used to process card transactions which you have initiated.

To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple and secure Fogal uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Furthermore, we will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the site.

Delivery, Passing of Risk
Subject to our acceptance of your order and the relevant products being in stock, we shall wherever possible send the products to you promptly after receipt of your order. We aim to dispatch all orders within 48 hour within Switzerland. For deliveries in the EU as well as abroad longer delivery times of up to 14 days may occur. You will receive the products as soon as possible but by no later than after 20 days from the day after the day when you send us your order.
Estimated delivery times are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch. We will make reasonable efforts to deliver the products within the time specified, but we do not accept liability for any failure to deliver within that time.
The passing of risk is valid after the items are delivered and the customer implicitly acknowledge the contract between Fogal and the customer as fulfilled. Therfore, the responsibility shifts to the customer.

Returns
You may return products purchased from us within fourteen (14) days in the same condition in which you received them, unopened and all original labels still attached, in their original packaging. Fogal will refund you the purchase price with a gift voucher.

The return shipment and the packaging are at your own cost. The 14 day grace period starts with the date of shipment.

Some of our products (for example Bodystockings, Panties, reduced items) are excluded from the customers right of return.

In the case of returns you have to use the appropriate form on this website (Customer Service).

We recommend that you insure the return shipment as you are under a duty to take reasonable care of the goods and will be liable for damage to them until we receive them at our warehouse.
Refunds (gift vouchers) will be issued within 14 days after receiving your return delivery at our premises. If we do not receive the products back despite your return announcement, we are free of all obligations of refund.

Goods are faulty if they are received damaged. Please note that items that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear are not considered to be faulty.
If you would like to exchange a faulty item (instead of obtaining a gift voucher), please be aware that we can only replace it for the same product in the same size, subject to availability. Where possible, we will offer to repair faulty items. If it cannot be repaired or the same product is not available, you are entitled to a full refund (gift voucher).

Colours
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on our site. However, as computer monitors vary, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any colour will be completely accurate.

Refusal to Accept
If you won’t accept properly items sent by Fogal and return them to us, we will charge you for this extra service. The right for sales contract fulfilling remains.

Gift Voucher
You will receive an email with a voucher-code as your personal gift voucher, which can be used during the payment process in the designated input-box for orders on our website. Your invoice will be reduced by the value of the voucher.

Should the value of your gift voucher exceed the value of your order, the difference will remain on your voucher.

Gift vouchers can only be used for shopping activities on this website, they are NOT accepted as means of payment in official FOGAL shops.

We don’t pay interest on vouchers nor do we disburse them in cash.

Fogal won’t assume any liabilities for gift vochers in cases of loss, theft or illegibility which is not caused by us. Furthermore, Fogal is not liable when the email-address of the beneficiary is incorrect.
