Brand: Biomatra® is a registered brand owned by Mathis Trading GmbH.
1. Scope of application
These General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) govern all sales and deliveries of Biomatra® products by Mathis Trading GmbH (“we” / “our”) to business and private customers in Switzerland and, where agreed, abroad.
Business focus is B2B (companies, retailers, distributors, hotels, gyms, etc.).
Minimum order is 12 pieces for both business and private customers. Large-volume orders from business customers are possible upon request.
By placing an order via our online shop, by e‑mail, or by any other channel, the customer accepts these GTC.
2. Minimum order quantity and samples
The standard minimum order is 12 pieces per product variant (1 carton). For smaller quantities the customer must contact us via the contact form or by e‑mail for an individual arrangement.
Free product samples are available only for business customers on written request through the contact form and only after our written agreement. For approved samples, the business customer will receive the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the sampled product in the language(s) required by the customer (DE, FR, IT, EN as needed) in accordance with Swiss law.
3. Customer inquiries
The contact form on www.biomatra.ch may be used to request: (i) general information about our company and products; (ii) special offers / price quotations; (iii) information about product quality, packaging, quantities, product use; (iv) requests for samples (business customers only); and (v) SDS requests (business customers).
We normally respond to such relevant inquiries within 24 hours on working days. We will not respond to inquiries that are not related to our store, products or production. All responses are non‑binding unless confirmed in a formal written offer or order confirmation.
4. Large‑volume orders and international deliveries
For bulk or large‑volume orders, customers must contact us directly for a special written offer covering product selection, packaging, price, payment terms and delivery conditions.
Delivery outside Switzerland and Liechtenstein is possible only by prior written agreement and on the basis of such an offer, taking into account local import regulations, duties and logistics costs. International deliveries will be carried out only after both parties have accepted the written offer and payment terms.
5. Prices and payment
All prices shown in the online shop are in CHF. Swiss VAT (MWST) is added at the applicable statutory rate at the end of the order/invoice unless otherwise exempt under Swiss law. Standard payment: immediate card payment at checkout via Wix Payments (Visa, Mastercard, etc.). TWINT is not accepted. Bank transfer is available only on customer request and after our written confirmation; dispatch follows only after full receipt of cleared funds.
Orders are processed only after payment has been received in full. We may change prices at any time; the price applicable is the one displayed at the time of order. In the event of delayed payment for approved bank‑transfer invoices, statutory default‑interest applies pursuant to Swiss OR Art. 104 ff. For international or EU customers, pricing may be offered in EUR upon request; such prices are always subject to a special quotation and written agreement. All orders, including those for pick‑up or for international delivery, must be paid in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing. Mathis Trading GmbH may require advance payment for new customers, large orders or special orders.
6. Shipping, delivery & fulfilment
Standard deliveries are within Switzerland & Liechtenstein. Delivery to other countries is possible only by special written agreement (see § 4). Standard delivery is by Swiss Post (PostPac Economy or Priority) or another equivalent carrier of our choice. Dispatch time: normally about 2–3 weeks after receipt of payment, as some products are manufactured or imported to order. In exceptional cases (e.g. supply‑chain disruptions, force majeure) the dispatch time may be longer; the customer will be notified promptly.
The delivery terms (method, timing, costs) are agreed between both parties at the time of order.
Risk passes to the customer upon hand‑over of the goods to the carrier in accordance with Swiss OR Art. 185 ff.
For local pick‑up at our warehouse in Kriens, customers will be notified by e‑mail when the order is ready; pick‑up before such notification is not possible. For pick‑up orders, the customer must organize transport at their own expense and responsibility. Delivery delays do not entitle the customer to compensation unless expressly agreed in writing.
7. Product use and compatibility
Biomatra® probiotic products contain live beneficial microorganisms. They must not be used together with conventional chemical cleaners, disinfectants, bleach, or strong acidic/alkaline products, as such substances may inactivate the probiotic bacteria and impair cleaning or odour‑neutralising performance. We accept no liability for reduced performance or adverse effects resulting from combined use with incompatible products or failure to follow usage instructions.
8. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Mathis Trading GmbH provides up‑to‑date SDS for all Biomatra® products in accordance with Swiss ChemO / ORRChem and EU REACH / CLP: (i) at or before the first delivery to business customers; (ii) on request by distributors, professional users, or authorities; and (iii) for approved samples for business customers, in the language(s) requested by the customer (DE, FR, IT, EN as needed). Customers must comply with all SDS instructions for handling, storage and disposal.
9. Customer health and allergic reactions
Biomatra® products contain no substances that require hazard pictograms under Swiss or EU law and are safe for their intended use. Nevertheless, individual sensitivities or allergic reactions cannot be completely excluded.
Customers must follow product‑label and SDS instructions. In case of a suspected reaction, the customer must discontinue use and inform Mathis Trading GmbH immediately, providing product name, batch/lot number and circumstances. We will investigate the case and, if required by law, notify the competent Swiss authority.
Liability is limited to cases of defective product or proven breach of duty by Mathis Trading GmbH. We accept no liability for reactions due to improper use, disregard of instructions, or individual hypersensitivity.
10. Returns and complaints
Returns require our prior written approval. Goods must be checked immediately upon receipt; defects must be reported in writing within 7 days. If a complaint is justified, we will replace the goods or issue a credit note. Further liability is limited to statutory provisions.
11. Liability
We are liable only for damages caused by gross negligence or intent. Liability for indirect or consequential losses (including lost profits or delays) is excluded to the extent permitted by Swiss law. We accept no liability for improper handling, storage or resale.
12. Intellectual property
All product designs, logos, trademarks, texts and images on www.biomatra.ch are the intellectual property of Mathis Trading GmbH. Any reproduction, distribution or commercial use without prior written permission is prohibited.
13. Data protection
We process personal data in compliance with the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU GDPR. Data collected during orders or inquiries is used solely to process orders and fulfil contracts. Data will be disclosed to third parties only where legally required or necessary for logistics, customs or payment processing. Customers may request information, correction or deletion of their data by contacting info@biomatra.ch.
Our website uses certain third-party tools provided via the Wix platform (e.g. Easy Language Translate, Mega Content Protector) for technical functions. Where such tools process data, the respective provider’s privacy policy applies. Customers can contact us at info@biomatra.ch for further information about these providers.
14. Governing law & jurisdiction
All contracts are governed by Swiss law; the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. Place of jurisdiction: Lucerne, Switzerland. Mandatory consumer‑protection rights for EU private customers remain unaffected.
15. Third‑party services
We may use third‑party manufacturers or logistics partners to fulfil orders. While we select such partners carefully, we cannot be held liable for their performance except where required by Swiss law.
16. Force majeure
We are not liable for failure or delay in performance due to events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, epidemics, strikes, supply‑chain disruptions, transport delays or government restrictions.
17. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim arising in connection with a specific order is limited to the net value of the goods supplied. Liability for consequential or indirect damages is excluded.
18. Retention of title
All delivered goods remain the property of Mathis Trading GmbH until full payment has been received. We are entitled to register the retention of title in the official Swiss register at the customer’s expense.
19. Severability
If any provision of these GTC is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect; the invalid provision will be replaced by a valid provision that best reflects the intended purpose.
20. Export compliance
Customers are responsible for compliance with local laws and regulations when importing, reselling or using our products outside Switzerland. We accept no liability for misuse or non‑compliance with foreign regulations.
21. Order cancellation
After our written order confirmation, the order is binding. Cancellation or changes require our prior written consent. If we accept cancellation, the customer bears all costs incurred plus a cancellation fee of 20 % of the net order value (minimum CHF 100). If goods have already been shipped, cancellation is excluded. We reserve the right to claim higher actual costs if they exceed the cancellation fee.
22. Amendments
We may amend these GTC at any time. The version published on www.biomatra.ch at the time of order applies.
23. Effective date
These GTC enter into force on 01.10.2025
