GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF THE PATENSHIP AGREEMENT (GTC)
-------------------------------------- o --------------------------------------
Payments already made cannot be reclaimed under any circumstances.
The sponsor is mentioned by name directly next to the plant on the label.
After payment has been made, the sponsor receives confirmation of his/her support in the form of a sponsorship certificate for the booked period.
The contributions made by the godparents flow into a maintenance fund from which the development costs and ongoing maintenance are covered.
The sponsor does not become the owner of the plant and may not claim the plant as a whole or any part of it (flowers, branches, fruit).
The ZHAW may not use the money in the fund for tasks other than the maintenance and upkeep of the TCM medicinal garden.
After registering for a sponsorship, the sponsor receives an invoice. Each year booked is invoiced separately, each January. Invoices are due for payment after 30 days.
In the event of the TCM Garden being dissolved, the sponsor immediately loses any obligation to make further payments into the fund concerned, of which the sponsor concerned will be informed.
The duration of the sponsorship contract is the number of years booked. The contract is automatically renewed from year to year until the booked number of years has expired.
The contract ends with the expiry of the booked number of years.
