1. Scope
These General Terms of Business (GTB) are applicable to business relations between Flegis d.o.o., a subsidiary of PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) (hereinafter: PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG)) and consumers or businesses (hereinafter "customer" or "customers") in the latest version that is available when you open the website or order products with respect to the products displayed by PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) in the online shop.
These GTB shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to contracts for the provision of digital content, software licenses or coupons, unless expressly agreed otherwise. When supplying software licences, the seller's obligation is to provide a licence key enabling use of the software sold. The customer does not acquire any intellectual property rights to the software. Regarding the characteristics of the software, the relevant product description is authoritative.
These GTB may apply to contracts concerning products (goods or services) provided in the form of either a one-time delivery or an ongoing supply ("subscription agreement"). In the case of a subscription agreement, PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) undertakes to supply the required product throughout the agreed effective period of the contract.
From time to time, the Privacy Notice or the present GTB of the online shop may be adapted, supplemented or modified. Whenever you access or visit the website, the version of the website accessible at that time shall be the authoritative version. Please visit this page regularly to view the latest rules. We shall keep you informed of any substantial changes in this Privacy Notice by displaying a notice on our website and/or mobile apps as well as an updated version of the Privacy Notice. If you do not agree with the modified rules, please inform us of your objection by sending an e-mail to admin@primedental.co.za and delete your user profile, if you have created one, by the effective date of the changes. Without your cancellation, you user profile will continue to be displayed under the new rules even after the effective date of the changes.
A “consumer” for the purposes of these GTB means any individual who enters into legally binding transactions for purposes that are not primarily commercial and/or attributable to independent business activities. A “business” for the purposes of these GTB means an individual or legal entity or partnership with legal personality that enters into a legally binding transaction in the exercise of commercial or independent business activities.
Orders and deliveries are possible only within Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Orders may be placed exclusively by residents of Switzerland or Liechtenstein who are at least 18 years of age or have obtained the signature of their legal representative.
Exclusively these General Terms of Business are applicable. PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) will not recognize any of the customer's terms of business that contradict and/or differ from the present Terms of Business unless PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) expressly consents to such terms in writing in the specific case.

3. Formation of Contract
The presentation of the PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) product range in the online shop does not constitute an offer to enter into a purchase agreement with the customer. It is not binding.
By clicking on the “Buy now” button, the customer makes a binding offer to buy.
By placing an order with PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) on the internet (online shop), by e-mail, telephone, fax or other channel of communication, the customer makes an offer to enter into a binding purchase agreement with PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG). The customer will receive a confirmation of receipt of the order ("Confirmation of Receipt of Order"). That confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the offer but merely informs the customer that PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) has received the order. PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) will inform the customer of any errors in the information about the product range on the website and make the customer a corresponding counter-offer where appropriate.
The contract with PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) is formed when PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) expressly accepts the customer's offer ("Order Confirmation") or when PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) sends the product ordered to the customer.
PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) acceptance is subject to the legality of the order and the availability of the ordered goods or services. If PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) cannot accept the customer's order the customer will receive a notice of unavailability instead of acceptance of the order. Products that cannot be delivered temporarily will be reserved for the customer and the customer's order shall remain valid.
4. Prices
The prices in effect at the time of purchase and placement of the order in South African Rands (ZAR) shall apply to the purchase and ordering of goods and services. We reserve the right to price changes.
Price changes are possible, in which case the price in effect at the time of placement of the order shall be applicable.
All prices contain Value Added Tax (VAT) at the legal rate (15%).
The prices do not include additional forwarding expenses between PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) and the customer.
5. Pick-up from the place of business
Subject to prior arrangement by telephone, the customer can pick up the product from an agreed place of business of PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG).
In case of product pick-up, the contract with PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) is formed when PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) expressly accepts the customer's offer ("Order Confirmation") or when PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) hands the product over to the customer.
6. Delivery, Forwarding Expenses
PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) shall deliver the goods ordered as quickly as possible to the address given by the customer in the order.

The delivery shall be made according to the forwarding expenses stated in the specific case.

All orders under R1500 (inc VAT) will be charged a delivery fee of R125. All orders over the value of R1500 will qualify for free delivery.
7. Granting of rights of use for digital content and software licences
Unless stated otherwise in the description of the content in the PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) online shop, PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) grants the customer a non-exclusive right, limited in time and space, to use the content made available for private and/or business purposes.
The delivery of a licence key for a software licence entitles the customer to use the software and/or content indicated in the relevant product description and licence provisions to the extent described therein.
Any transfer of the contents to third parties or making of copies for third parties beyond the scope of these GTB and/or of the licence provisions is not permitted without the seller's consent to such transfer to third parties of the license under the contract.
The right thus granted shall not enter into effect until the customer has paid the stipulated contractual fee in full.
8. Reservation of title, Rescission of Contract
PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) reserves title to all the goods delivered until payment in full.
If the customer breaches the contract, particularly by failing to meet the payment obligations despite receiving a reminder from PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG), PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) may rescind the contract, after setting a reasonable grace period, and demand the return of the goods to which PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) still retains title. The recovery or attachment of the goods by PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) constitutes rescission of the contract. Any resulting forwarding expenses incurred shall be borne by the customer. PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) is authorized to sell the goods after recovery.
PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) reserves the right to refrain from entering into a contract in case of the negative outcome of a credit check.

Coupons for the PRIME DENTAL (A SUBSIDIARY OF CURADEN AG) online shop must be redeemed before completion of the ordering process and no deduction will be permitted thereafter.
