CHF 420 per pair. Shipping is free. No VAT is charged: the seller is not registered for Swiss VAT. For deliveries to the United States, import duties are prepaid by the seller. Elsewhere outside Switzerland, import duties and taxes may apply on delivery and are paid by the buyer.
4. Preorder and payment
- You order by paying a deposit of CHF 210 (50% of the price) through our payment provider Stripe. Your order becomes binding when the deposit is paid. You receive a confirmation by email.
- Before dispatch we email you a payment link for the balance of CHF 210. Please pay it within 14 days.
- If the balance is not paid within 14 days of our request and after one reminder, we may cancel the order and refund the deposit in full.
5. Delivery date
Estimated dispatch: February 2027. If we expect a delay, we email you the new estimated date as soon as we know it. You may then cancel your order and receive a full refund of everything you have paid.
6. Cancelling a preorder
- Until we announce the start of production by email, you can cancel at any time by emailing us. We refund the full deposit.
- After production has started, the deposit is no longer refundable, except in the case of a delay as described in section 5, or if we cannot deliver.
- If we cannot deliver your pair for any reason, we refund everything you have paid.
7. Returns and defects
See Returns & refunds below. Statutory warranty rights for defects remain unaffected.
8. Promotions
There are currently no promotions or discount codes.
9. Law and disputes
Please contact us first at pidigital@proton.me. Swiss law applies, subject to mandatory consumer protection law.
Shipping
- We ship worldwide, free of charge.
- We do not ship to countries where Swiss sanctions or Stripe's terms prohibit the sale, including Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
- Carrier: Swiss Post, with tracking.
- United States: import duties are prepaid by us; nothing is due on delivery. Other countries outside Switzerland: your country may charge import duties, VAT or customs fees on delivery. These are not included in our price and are paid by you.
- Estimated dispatch: February 2027 (see Terms, section 5).
Returns & refunds
Returns
- We accept returns only for damaged or defective pairs (see Defects below). Change-of-mind returns are not accepted.
- Where the law of your country gives consumers a right to withdraw from an online purchase (for example in the EU or the UK), that right applies in full and these terms do not limit it. To withdraw, use the form Withdraw from contract here (also linked at the bottom of every page) within the period your law provides. You receive an acknowledgement by email with the content, date and time of your withdrawal.
Defects
If your pair arrives damaged or defective, email us photos within 14 days of delivery. We repair, replace or refund at our cost.
How refunds are paid
Refunds go back to the card or payment method you used, through Stripe. Your bank may take several days to show them.
Payment disputes
If something is wrong with a charge, please email us before contacting your bank. We resolve problems directly and quickly.

Who is responsible
Konstantin Aleksandar Panov, Rue du Parc 39, CH-2300 La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, pidigital@proton.me.
What we collect
- When you order: name, email, shipping address, phone number if you give it, the size and model you chose, and order and payment status.
- Card details are entered directly with Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
- When you visit the site: technical data such as IP address and browser type, processed by our hosting provider to deliver the page. The site sets no tracking or advertising cookies. Your language choice is stored only in your own browser.
Why we use it
To process your order and payment, ship your pair, send order updates (production start, delays, balance request), answer your messages, and keep the records Swiss accounting law requires. We do not sell your data and do not send marketing emails.
Who receives it
- Stripe (payment processing): Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Ireland, and Stripe affiliates including Stripe, LLC in the United States.
- Swiss Post (delivery): name and shipping address.
- Cloudflare, Inc. (website hosting): technical visit data.
- Google (web fonts loaded by this site): your IP address when the fonts load.
- Proton AG, Switzerland (email): messages you send us.
- FormSubmit (form delivery service, operated by Devro LABS; FormSubmit does not publish its location, which third-party listings give as Sri Lanka) and Google reCAPTCHA (spam check): the data you enter in the withdrawal form and technical data from your browser, only if you use that form.
Transfers abroad
Some recipients process data in the EU (Ireland) or the United States; FormSubmit's processing location is not published (reported as Sri Lanka). For the United States we rely on the recipient's certification under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where available (Stripe, LLC is certified), and otherwise on standard contractual clauses. Data you enter in the withdrawal form is passed to FormSubmit only when you use that form, because it is needed to deliver and acknowledge your withdrawal. If you prefer, you can withdraw by email to pidigital@proton.me instead.
How we protect it
The site is served over HTTPS only. Payments run on Stripe's certified payment infrastructure. Order data is accessible only to the seller.
How long we keep it
For as long as needed to complete your order and handle returns or warranty claims, and afterwards for the retention period required by Swiss accounting law.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your data, its correction or its deletion, by emailing pidigital@proton.me. You can also contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
