Purchase & Instalment Payment Agreement
The Bühlmann Ownership Plan allows customers to purchase and receive their order with an initial payment of 50%, followed by two equal 25% instalments over 60 days.
The plan is offered directly by GFF SUISSE SA (t/a Bühlmann Watches or Watch Angels), without interest or additional financing charges.
1. Purchase Price and Payment ScheduleThe total purchase price is payable as follows:
Payment | Due Date |
Initial payment (50%) | At checkout |
Second payment (25%) | 30 days after purchase |
Final payment (25%) | 60 days after purchase |
No interest or additional financing fees apply.
2. Acceptance and Purchase CommitmentBy selecting the Bühlmann Ownership Plan, expressly accepting these terms and completing the initial payment of 50% the customer enters into a binding purchase agreement for the full purchase price of the order
The initial payment constitutes the first instalment of the purchase price and not merely a reservation fee.
The customer undertakes to complete the remaining payments according to the agreed schedule, subject to the cancellation and return rights described below.
3. DeliveryThe watch will be dispatched following successful receipt of the initial payment, subject to product availability and the delivery estimate communicated at checkout.
Delivery before completion of the payment schedule does not release the customer from the obligation to pay the remaining instalments.
4. Subsequent PaymentsThe customer expressly agrees to the payment schedule and authorises GFF SA, through its designated payment provider, to collect the remaining instalments using the agreed payment method, subject to the payment provider's authorisation requirements.
If an automatic payment cannot be completed, the customer remains responsible for settling the instalment by its due date.
5. Missed PaymentsShould an instalment remain unpaid, GFF SA will notify the customer and allow 10 calendar days to settle the outstanding amount.
Should payment remain outstanding after this period, GFF SA reserves the right, without further reminder, to transfer the outstanding claim to its appointed debt collection agency and/or initiate formal debt recovery proceedings, in accordance with applicable law.
The customer remains liable for the outstanding purchase price and any legally recoverable costs arising from the collection process.
The transfer of a claim for collection does not release the customer from their contractual payment obligations.
Nothing in this clause limits the customer's mandatory statutory rights, including the applicable 14-day return right.
6. 14-Day Return RightCustomers purchasing through the Bühlmann Ownership Plan benefit from the same 14-day return policy as customers paying the full purchase price upfront.
The 14-day return period begins on the date the customer, or their designated recipient, receives the watch.
The customer may exercise this right within 14 calendar days of receipt by notifying Watch Angels in accordance with its applicable return procedure.
In the event of a valid return:
- The purchase agreement is cancelled.
- The initial payment of is refunded.
- Any additional instalments already collected are also refunded.
- All remaining instalments are cancelled.
- Any pending scheduled payment will be suspended once the valid return request has been received.
Refunds and returns will be processed in accordance with the applicable Watch Angels general terms & conditions and mandatory consumer law, including any lawful conditions concerning the return and condition of the watch.
The initial 50% payment is therefore not a non-refundable deposit.
Any exceptions applicable to genuinely personalised or engraved products must be expressly communicated before purchase and may not override mandatory statutory consumer rights.
7. General ConditionsThis agreement supplements the Watch Angels General Terms & Conditions.
