WARRANTY
There is a statutory warranty right for purchases of goods from MCM. The warranty depends on the legal regulations as well as on the following provisions.
In case of a defect of the goods, the Client shall request supplementary performance of the manufacturer. For this, the Client shall stipulate a reasonable term.
Claims arising from material defects fall under the statute of limitations after the expiry of a term of two years from the time of supply of the goods.

Any statutory limitation of recourse claims shall remain unaffected thereof.
The limitation periods set out in the aforementioned paragraph shall not apply in cases of wilful acts, in case of fraudulent concealing of defects or to the extent to which MCM has assumed a warranty of condition. Moreover, it additionally does not apply to claims on account of material defects in cases of violation of life, body or health, with respect to claims pursuant to the product liability law, in case of grossly negligent violation of duty or in case of culpable violation of essential contractual duties, i.e. such contractual duties which enable the proper implementation of the contract and on the compliance with those the Client may rely on and the violation of which endangers the achievement of the contractual purpose on the other side.
LIABILITY
In case of a breach of duty and of tortuous acts as well as claims for compensation due to futile expenditures claims are excluded both against MCM and its vicarious agents and parties employed in performing a contractual obligation for whom the principal is vicariously liable.
The aforementioned limitation of liability shall not apply if the damage was caused deliberately or in a grossly negligent way, as well as in the case of violation of essential contractual obligations (see “WARRANTY” above). Furthermore, it shall not apply to damages arising from violation of life, body or health, if MCM is responsible for the violation of obligation.

APPLICABLE LAW
The laws of Switzerland govern these Terms and Condition. If the Client is Consumer, the mandatory consumer protection provisions which apply in the state in which the customer has his customary place of residence are also applicable, insofar as these offer further protection for the customer in relation to Swiss law.
If the Client is Entrepreneur, a legal entity under public law or special fund under public law, the exclusive judicial venue for all claims arising from the contractual relationship is Zurich.
