Do you want to buy a complete Mysticum or parts of it?

This ist the right place to do so!

Before scrolling down let me clarify some important items (terms and conditions):

First of all Mysticum is a do-it-yourself chess computer and I want to encourage you to do so. You can download all necessary documents. But if you are not able to build it and/or you cannot or you don't want to attend a workshop you can buy Mysticum components or a ready made Mysticum.
Mysticum is not a commercial product and I don't want to gain any profit - Mysticum is my hobby! I'm not a professional, but an amateur - therefore the workmanship is not always 100% professional - flaws like small drill registrations of the LED drills or minimal manual adjustments of the chess pieces for better detection have to be accepted.
I don't own a company and I don't offer legal warranty!
I provide support in case of defects or answer questions related to function and use - I repair on demand; costs of repair, shipment and packaging carries the sender and will be fixed individually!
The charge for the different versions offered below consists of material, packaging, shipment of the suppliers, delivery to you within Germany and my amount of work. Delivery to foreign countries will be charged extra and be offered individually. I will update the costs from time to time; therefore the charge can vary with the time. The design can change at any time.
I expect payment before delivery according to the assembly progress. Payment must be done to 100% before shipment.
The Mysticum software is offered as is; the software can contain bugs. At the moment, you will get the software free of charge - donations are welcome!
Exact shipping dates will be defined individually without obligation. In general: Versions 1., 2. and 3. are usually on stock and can be delivered immediately if so - versions 4., 5. and 6. will be assembled after order and initial payment; you can count with a lead time of approx. 6 months, depending on the load of the workshop ;-).
If you do not agree on the conditions mentioned above, do not order! You accept the above mentioned conditions with your order!
Please order at webmaster(at)miclangschach(dot)de!
