Terms of Service – Clio & Quill

Last updated: 05.09.2026

1. Overview

Welcome to Clio & Quill.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, online store, products, digital content and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

The terms “Clio & Quill”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Clio & Quill, a sole proprietorship owned by Viviane A. Grabik, with its registered business address at:

Büchelstrasse 103a
9464 Rüthi
Switzerland

Our online store is powered by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that enables us to offer our products and Services to you.

By using our website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms and to the policies referenced in them, including our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy and Shipping Policy.

Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you under applicable law.

2. Eligibility and Customer Information

You must have the legal capacity required under the laws applicable to you to enter into a purchase contract with us.

When placing an order, you agree to provide complete, accurate and current information, including your billing, shipping, payment and contact information.

You are responsible for checking the information provided before submitting your order.

3. Products

We take reasonable care to describe and display our products as accurately as possible.

However, colours, textures, proportions and other visual characteristics may vary slightly depending on your device, screen settings, photography and the natural characteristics of materials.

Handmade, printed, textile, paper or other naturally variable products may show minor variations that do not constitute defects.

Product availability may change without notice. We may discontinue products or limit quantities where reasonably necessary.

4. Orders and Contract Formation

By submitting an order, you make an offer to purchase the products shown in your order.

After placing your order, you will receive an electronic confirmation. We reserve the right to reject or cancel an order where there is a legitimate reason to do so, including obvious pricing or product errors, suspected fraud, lack of availability or inability to deliver to the specified destination.

If we cancel an order after payment has been received, the corresponding amount will be refunded.

Please check your order carefully before submitting it. Once an order has entered processing, we may no longer be able to change or cancel it.

Returns, withdrawals and refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

5. Prices, Taxes and Payment

Prices displayed in our store are shown in the currency indicated on the website.

Applicable taxes, shipping charges and other charges will be displayed at checkout where applicable.

For international deliveries, customs duties, import taxes, handling fees or other charges imposed by the destination country may apply unless expressly stated otherwise during checkout. Please refer to our Shipping Policy for further information.

You agree to provide valid and authorised payment information.

We reserve the right to correct obvious pricing errors. If such an error affects an order you have already placed, we will contact you before fulfilling the order where required.

6. Shipping and Delivery

Physical products are shipped to the countries and regions indicated in our Shipping Policy and checkout.

Any stated delivery dates or transit times are estimates unless expressly agreed otherwise.

We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including customs processing, transport disruptions, severe weather or carrier delays. This does not limit any mandatory rights you may have under applicable consumer law.

Risk of loss or damage passes in accordance with applicable law. In particular, where mandatory consumer law provides that we remain responsible for the goods during transport until they are delivered to you, those rights remain unaffected.

Please refer to our Shipping Policy for current shipping destinations, estimated delivery times, costs and customs information.

7. Digital Products

Certain Clio & Quill products are supplied digitally, including downloadable PDF guides and other digital content.

Digital products are intended for the purchaser’s personal use unless expressly stated otherwise.

You may not reproduce, share, redistribute, resell, publish, upload, sublicense or commercially exploit digital products without our prior written permission, except where permitted by mandatory law.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have suitable hardware, software and internet access to download and use the digital product.

Where applicable law requires your express consent before we begin supplying digital content during a statutory withdrawal period, the digital product will be supplied in accordance with those requirements.

Where a consumer expressly requests immediate supply and acknowledges that the right of withdrawal will be lost once supply begins, the withdrawal right may cease as provided by applicable law.

Please see our Refund Policy for further information regarding digital products.

8. Personalized Products and Dedications

Certain products may be personalised at your request, including books containing an individual name, dedication or message.

You are responsible for ensuring that all personalization information submitted to us is accurate.

Please review spelling, names and wording carefully before completing your order. We are not responsible for errors contained in personalization information supplied by the customer.

Clearly personalised or custom-made products may be excluded from statutory withdrawal rights where permitted by applicable law.

This does not affect your rights if the product is defective, damaged, incorrectly supplied or does not correspond to the personalization instructions provided by you.

9. Bundles

Certain products may be offered as bundles consisting of multiple physical products or a combination of physical and digital products.

The individual elements of a bundle remain subject to the relevant provisions of these Terms and our Refund Policy.

Where a physical bundle is eligible for return, we may require all components of the bundle to be returned together.

Digital or personalised components of a bundle remain subject to the specific provisions applicable to digital and personalised products.

10. Returns, Withdrawal Rights and Refunds

Clio & Quill does not provide a voluntary general right of return simply because a customer has changed their mind.

Any statutory withdrawal rights or other mandatory consumer protections remain unaffected.

For information regarding:

  • EU withdrawal rights,
  • return shipping costs,
  • damaged or incorrect products,
  • personalised products,
  • digital downloads,
  • bundles, and
  • refunds,

please refer to our Refund Policy.

Where customers are responsible for return shipping under applicable law, Clio & Quill does not provide free return shipping.

11. Intellectual Property

The Clio & Quill website and its original content, including texts, books, guides, photographs, illustrations, graphics, logos, product designs, layouts, digital files and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Clio & Quill and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Purchasing a physical or digital product does not transfer any intellectual property rights to you.

Unless expressly permitted by us in writing or permitted by mandatory law, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, sell, commercially exploit or create derivative works from our protected content.

This applies in particular to our books, writing guides, workbook content and downloadable digital products.

“Clio & Quill” and associated branding may not be used in a manner that suggests endorsement, affiliation or origin without our prior permission.

12. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to or integrations with third-party services, including payment providers, shipping providers and social media platforms.

Third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for third-party websites or services outside our control, except to the extent responsibility cannot be excluded under applicable law.

13. Relationship with Shopify

Clio & Quill is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

However, any sales and purchases you make in our store are made directly with Clio & Quill.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that Shopify is not the seller of the products purchased from Clio & Quill and is not responsible for the fulfilment of those purchases.

Nothing in this section excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.

14. Privacy

Personal information collected through our website and store is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Because our online store is hosted by Shopify, certain personal information is also processed by Shopify and service providers involved in operating our store, processing payments, delivering orders and providing other necessary services.

Please review our Privacy Policy for further information.

15. Errors and Availability

Despite reasonable care, our website may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccurate information or omissions relating to product descriptions, availability, prices, shipping costs or other information.

We may correct such errors and update information.

Where an error materially affects an order already placed, we will handle the matter in accordance with applicable law and contact you where necessary.

16. Prohibited Use

You may use our website and Services only for lawful purposes.

You must not use the Services to:

  • violate applicable law or the rights of others;
  • infringe intellectual property rights;
  • transmit malicious software;
  • attempt unauthorised access to our systems;
  • collect personal information about others unlawfully;
  • engage in fraud or misrepresentation;
  • interfere with the operation or security of our website; or
  • reproduce or commercially exploit substantial portions of our website or content without permission.

We may restrict access to the Services where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, customers, systems or legal obligations.

17. Warranties and Statutory Rights

Products must conform to any mandatory warranties, conformity requirements and consumer protection rules applicable to the purchase.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability, warranties, remedies or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

If you believe that a product is defective, damaged or does not correspond to your order, please contact us at contact@clioandquill.ch.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Clio & Quill is not liable for indirect or consequential losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was concluded.

We are not responsible for losses caused solely by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer law.

19. Changes to the Services

We may update, modify or discontinue parts of our website, product range or Services from time to time.

Changes will not affect rights already acquired under an existing purchase contract except where permitted by applicable law.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

The invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted or replaced only to the extent necessary and permitted by law.

21. Governing Law and Consumer Protection

These Terms and contracts concluded through our store are governed by the laws of Switzerland, subject to any mandatory consumer protection provisions that apply to you.

If you are a consumer residing in another country, particularly within the European Union, this choice of law does not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections granted to you under the laws applicable to your residence.

Any mandatory rules regarding jurisdiction remain unaffected.

22. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to our Services, business practices or legal requirements.

The version applicable to an individual purchase is generally the version in effect when the order is placed, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

The current version will always be available on our website.
