General Terms and Conditions
General Terms and conditions (GTC) for Swiss Holiday Park AG (consecutively called Swiss Holiday Park AG), legitimate operator of the e-guma® Voucher Management System of the firm Idea Creation GmbH
1. General
All deliveries and services of Swiss Holiday Park AG, and the therewith associated online orders over the internet and other online services are subject to these General Terms and Conditions (GTC). Deflecting and/or complementing agreements need explicit affirmation of the executive board of Swiss Holiday Park AG and have to be made in writing; the same shall apply to any waiver of this written-form requirement.
2. Vouchers
The online-vouchers are transferred from Swiss Holiday Park AG to the purchasers with an forgery-safe security code. As the purchaser is able to print the voucher himself, several prints are possible, but only one thereof is valid and redeemable. The first voucher with the correct code that is redeemed with an e-guma System is considered the original and has to be immediately validated by Swiss Holiday Park AG. If further vouchers with the same code emerge, it is considered a case of abuse which will result in legal consequences. If a person tries to redeem multiple vouchers with the same code, there will be no entitlement to performance and/or delivery, neither will there be entitlement to compensation on the part of Swiss Holiday Park AG, even if the person redeeming the first voucher is not its legitimate owner. In fact, if someone gives out a voucher with intention to defraud, he or she will be immediately prosecuted for forgery. Generally, the e-guma-Vouchers are valid 1 years. (The period of validity is printed on the voucher). After this period, Swiss Holiday Park AG is no longer bound to accept the voucher. Lost vouchers will neither be replaced nor will cash refunds be made for vouchers. If the value of the voucher is higher than the cost of the consumed service, Swiss Holiday Park AG agrees to grant further services for the full remaining value. In this case there is no right for a cash payment of the remaining value of the voucher. Since a voucher can be given away, Swiss Holiday Park AG is not required to validate if the redeeming person is its legitimate owner. The only things verified at the redemption are if the e-guma-Voucher-Number is actually enabled in the system and whether the according voucher really has been paid for. Swiss Holiday Park AG is not obliged to accept vouchers that have not been paid for. For operative reasons, the services connected to the voucher can only be supplied by Swiss Holiday Park AG if a correct and timely reservation has been made. This is especially true for vouchers for overnight stays and vouchers for groups. According to circumstances, the service of Swiss Holiday Park AG can slightly differ from the description on the voucher, however, this must not result in a decrease in value for the purchaser. If, for any reason, Swiss Holiday Park AG closes down, the e-guma-Vouchers expire without a right for compensation. The same shall apply if the owner of Swiss Holiday Park AG changes. In this case, Swiss Holiday Park AG is not obliged to indemnify potential losses.
3. Products
All products offered by Swiss Holiday Park AG are provided to the best of our knowledge. The product images in the online shop may differ in individual cases from the actual products (e.g., in terms of color, shape, or size), which does not constitute a defect. The technical data and descriptions provided for each product are decisive. Swiss Holiday Park AG reserves the right to remove products from the range or replace them with new products at any time.
4. Delivery
Swiss Holiday Park AG has to meet the specified delivery date as far as possible. If this date is exceeded by more than six weeks, the purchaser is entitled to set an additional respite in writing, with the remark that he or she will not accept the object of purchase after the new deadline. The new deadline has to be set at the earliest one month after the date of writing. If during this period no agreement about a new delivery date is achieved, the purchaser is entitled to resign from the contract by declaring the cancellation in written form. The purchaser has no right to compensation due to delay or impossibility of a delivery. The same shall apply for claims concerning missing profits or other indirect damage. Further claims of the purchaser – especially to deliveries – are barred. Risk and expense devolves to the purchaser as soon as the object of purchase has been handed over to the carrying business. The same shall apply if Swiss Holiday Park AG has paid for the transport expenses. Complaints concerning damage in transit have to be addressed to the carrying business within the prescribed time limit. For consignments done by the purchaser, he or she bears the complete risk, particularly the transportation risk, until the goods arrive at Swiss Holiday Park AG.
If the ordered goods are not available for reasons beyond the control of Swiss Holiday Park AG (e.g., because a supplier does not fulfill its contractual obligations), the customer will be informed immediately. In such a case, Swiss Holiday Park AG is entitled to withdraw from the contract. Any payments already made by the customer will be refunded immediately. Further claims by the customer are excluded.
5. Payment

As from the 30th.-day after the date of invoice Swiss Holiday Park AG is entitled to account interest for delay in the amount of 5 %, unless they can prove the need for higher delay of interest or the purchaser can prove a lesser charge for Swiss Holiday Park AG. Checks will only be accepted on account of payment. Possible expenses will be charged to the debit of the purchaser. An offset is only valid with undisputed or judicially established claims. The purchaser can only exercise the right of retention if it is based on the same law of contract.
