Payment will be taken on or around the date when we process each monthly Standard Order for delivery (“Cut-Off Date”). From that moment, you have entered into a contract of sale and your order cannot be changed or cancelled. Products may neither be returned nor exchanged, unless you meet the conditions described in the clauses of Sections 13 and 14 below.

We will send you a monthly order confirmation of your IQOS ADS subscription which will be based on your Standard Order.

If all eligible payment methods we have on file for you are declined for the payment of your Standard Order, you must provide us with a new eligible payment method promptly or your IQOS ADS will be paused until such time you provide us with a new eligible payment method.

Any updates or revisions you make to quantities, types of products, and possibly even variants in your IQOS Automatic Delivery order may change the price of your IQOS Automatic Delivery order.

  1. Customising your IQOS ADS

IQOS ADS is a monthly service that provides you flexibility. You may customise your Standard Order at any time up to the Cut-Off Date which is displayed on your IQOS ADS account dashboard.

You may customise your Standard Order to increase it up to a maximum of six (6) tobacco stick bundles per month across the full range of variants available within Switzerland (excluding Limited Edition variants). You may also decrease your Standard Order subject to the minimum set out in Section 3.

You may customise your Standard Order to change the variant(s) selected to any of the variants available within Switzerland (excluding Limited Edition variants).

You may customise your Standard Order to change your delivery address provided that your new delivery address is in Switzerland.

Each customisation request will automatically update your Standard Order to reflect the changes you have requested for all future IQOS ADS deliveries.

  1. Changing your IQOS ADS delivery date

You may change your next delivery date at any time up to the Cut-Off Date by bringing the date forward by up to one week, or delaying it by up to one week. Any subsequent IQOS ADS deliveries will still be delivered according to the normal schedule based on your Standard Order.

You may change all future delivery dates by selecting a new date range each month on your IQOS ADS account dashboard. If you change the delivery date after the Cut-Off Date of your next IQOS Automatic Delivery, your change will take effect after that delivery.

  1. Pausing your IQOS ADS subscription

You may pause your IQOS ADS for up to 60 days in a row and within the limit of a total of 90 days per year.

If your pause request is made after the Cut-Off Date of your next IQOS Automatic Delivery, your change will take effect after that delivery.

We will pause your IQOS ADS subscription if the variants specified in your Standard Order are out of stock on the date we process your order. We will contact you to ask if you wish to order other in-stock variants instead.

Without prejudice to Section 11, we will pause your IQOS ADS subscription in the event we are unable to access your delivery address or if we are informed you are no longer at the delivery address. We will contact you to request that you update your address.

Without prejudice to Section 11, we will pause your IQOS ADS subscription if your payment is not made due to your payment method having expired. We will contact you to ask you to update your payment method.

  1. IQOS CLUB members

This section is only applicable to IQOS CLUB Members.

IQOS CLUB Members will benefit from the member pricing* offered on iqosclub.ch and the member pricing available to IQOS CLUB members of their status at the Cut-Off Date for that month’s IQOS Automatic Delivery order. This IQOS Automatic Delivery pricing commitment may result in small price fluctuations in your Standard Order. We may at our own discretion modify the IQOS CLUB member pricing.

*Price may vary for limited edition. A maximum number of tobacco stick bundles can be purchased at member prices every 30 days. The maximum number depends on your IQOS CLUB status: 4 for Silver and 6 for Gold or Platinum. If you reach the maximum within 30 days, the registered user price will be applied to any further purchase(s).

If you decide to terminate your IQOS Automatic Delivery service, you are still entitled to retain the IQOS CLUB points that were rewarded to you and still remain an IQOS CLUB member. If you decide to terminate your IQOS CLUB membership, and consequently lose all IQOS CLUB benefits including IQOS CLUB points and the member pricing, your IQOS Automatic Delivery service will keep running and the registered user price will apply. If however, you decide to terminate your account on iqos.com altogether, you will in that case terminate your IQOS Automatic Delivery and consequently lose any related IQOS CLUB points.

Please refer to the IQOS CLUB Terms and Conditions on iqosclub.ch regarding the IQOS CLUB points attribution.

La Poste has been chosen to deliver products ordered in Switzerland to your home. Delivery is limited to Switzerland and no cross-border delivery is permitted.

In general, Standard Orders are delivered to the address specified in the monthly order confirmation. If you are absent at the time of delivery, the order will be left in your mailbox (parcel compartment), if possible. If this is not possible, you will receive a notice to pick it up at the post office. If your package is not picked up at the post office in the allotted time, the price of the order remains due and will not be reimbursed. We are free to dispose of items ordered that have not been picked up at the post office and that have been returned to us, and to sell them to a third party without authorization.

There are no deliveries on Sundays or national and cantonal holidays.

You may return your order up to 30 days after receipt of each Standard Order delivery only if the tobacco stick bundles are in their original packaging. We will not accept returns unless they are intact, and their plastic wrapping is unopened.

Another payment method may be used to reimburse you if you give us your consent. In any case, you will not incur additional charges.

We guarantee reimbursement for any item returned in accordance with the clause of Section 13, provided that all items are returned in the same condition in which you received them. This means that items must be in their original packaging and must not have been used or damaged.
