After the initial consultation and clarification of your questions regarding the process of buying a specific property, a binding obligation to pay arises only when you give us the definitive order that you want Brixel's support to purchase the property. With a definitive written order by you, the first partial payment of CHF 1'000 is owed. You will receive an invoice with a 30-day payment period.

In short: You only pay when you are certain that you want our services to move forward with a purchase.

The remaining price CHF 2'900 is only due after the purchase of your new property is completed and is placed following the signing of the purchase contract by all parties and its notarization.

The same right is available to Brixel, i.e. Brixel can also withdraw from the contractual relationship without giving any reasons until the final order is placed, which means that Brixel's obligation to perform ceases to apply and no obligation to pay arises for you. 

After the definitive order, a pro rata of CHF 1'000 is due in any case.
