The Kunsthaus Zürich must be notified of any inaccuracies without delay.

3.4 If the Kunsthaus Zürich is unable to comply with the customer’s request, the customer will be notified that the item concerned is unavailable or the order has been declined rather than receiving an order confirmation.

In the event that it is prevented from performance, the Kunsthaus Zürich will inform the customer immediately and reimburse any payments already made by the customer.

9. Customs duties, value added tax
9.1 In the event of delivery to countries outside Switzerland, import duties may be incurred; these are to be paid by the customer. Such duties vary from one customs area to another. The customer is responsible for correctly declaring the items concerned and for paying the required duties and charges. Import duties do not constitute shipping costs.
