4. Products and Services
PaintEvents offers the following products and services:
- Painting and drawing classes and similar events in the domain of arts and creativity (e.g. T-Shirt designs, crafts, etc). Private customers purchase admittance to the events either through the purchase of a ticket (see “5. Event-Tickets”) or by redeeming a voucher (see “6. Vouchers”). Events for corporate customers are based on the acceptance of a written offer created by PaintEvents for the customer. Additional terms and conditions may be stipulated in this offer that will complement or overwrite conditions in these general terms and conditions.
- Consumer products related to the events (i.e. arts and crafts supplies). These may be sold via www.paintevents.ch or directly at an event.
5. Event-Tickets
- Participation at an event requires the prior purchase of a ticket either directly from PaintEvents or via a partner.
- The ticket gives the owner the right to participate in the event listed on the ticket (on the date and time listed on the ticket). Rescheduling to a different event is only possible in accordance to the conditions in paragraph “5.5 Rescheduling”.
- PaintEvents reserves the right to cancel events if the number of participants is below a certain minimum. This is regulated according to paragraph “9. Minimum Number of Participant”.
- All tickets prices include VAT.
- Re-Scheduling: We offer free re-scheduling to a different event of the same price category up to one week before the event. After this, re-scheduling is possible up to 48 hours before the event for a fee of 10 CHF. Re-scheduling requests received between 48h and 4h before the event are subject to a fee of 20 CHF. Re-schedule requests received later than 4 hours before the event unfortunately cannot be granted. Re-scheduling request need to be made via: www.paintevents.ch/en/reschedule/
- Cancellation: Once purchased, tickets are non-refundable.
6. Vouchers
- These conditions apply to vouchers purchase directly from PaintEvents. Vouchers purchased from third parties (e.g. Dein Deal) are subject to the terms and conditions of the this party.
- The purchase of a voucher gives the owner of the voucher the right to the product or service named on the voucher. In case a voucher specifies a cash CHF value, it gives the owner the right to redeem this for any product or service of the same value.
- If the holder of a voucher redeems it for a product or service of lower value than the voucher value, the remaining value can be redeemed for further products or services at a later date. If the holder of a voucher redeems the voucher for a product or service that has a higher value than the voucher value, the customer needs to pay the difference.
- Vouchers are transferrable.
- The value of each voucher can only be redeemed once.
- Depending on availability, vouchers can be delivered electronically via PDF or physically via post. For physical vouchers additional cost for packing and shipping may apply.
- Vouchers are issued without VAT. If applicable, VAT applies once the voucher is exchanged for a product or service.
- Redeeming Vouchers: Vouchers can be redeemed via Email (info@paintevents.ch) or, if they contain a code, directly on www.paintevents.ch as a form of payment. Once a voucher is exchanged for a ticket the conditions set-forth under “5. Event-Tickets” apply.
- Validity: Vouchers are generally valid for 3 years starting from the date of purchase.

- If PaintEvents cancels an event, the customer will be offered the following options.
- The value of the original ticket may be exchanged for a voucher that can be exchanged for any other event.
- The customer can choose a full refund (either via the method that was used to purchase the ticket or via bank transfer).

- PaintEvents reserves the right to minor deviations from the original service description of the event. Minor deviations include (but are not limited to) the change of the instructor, the change of the event location up to 3 km, and the change of the event time by up to 1 hour. Such changes will be communicated as early as possible.
- For major deviations of the service description (e.g. change of time by more than 1 hour or change of location by more than 3 km) or in case of very short notice of any changes, the customer may request a full refund or an exchange for a voucher.
- PaintEvents reserves the right to cancel events for any other important reasons (e.g. sickness of the instructor or higher powers).

In such cases, the customer may request a full refund or an exchange for a voucher.
