The contract of sale with you only comes about subject to these Standard Terms and Conditions once we have dispatched the articles you have ordered, which constitutes acceptance of your offer. The purchase agreement is already concluded with our payment request, which we send you by email or letter pursuant to subsection 4.5, only if you select the “Payment in advance” option. Within Germany, ordered and available goods will be delivered within 1-4 working days after we receive your order, or full payment if payment in advance has been selected. We accept no liability for adhering to this delivery time unless a failure to do so is intentional or due to gross negligence on our part.

Within Germany, we make a standard flat rate shipping charge of €4.95 up to a full 30 kg parcel weight. This increases by €4.95 for each additional 30 kg.
For international deliveries, please refer to Section 5 below. With respect to the applicable flat rate shipping charge, please take note of the information on page 769 or in our Online Shop under “Shipping costs”. Customs charges may be payable in addition. Your local customs authorities can provide you with details.

If, with your consent, we deliver additional parts of your order at a later date, you will receive these without any postage and packaging costs. For this later delivery, we set a minimum single item value for each destination country (e.g. in Germany from €10). If the price of the goods is lower than this (or you do not consent to later delivery), we ask you to order the item(s) when it (they) become(s) (fully) available again.
You pay the invoiced amount on delivery plus a cash on delivery fee of EUR 4.90 and a transfer fee of EUR 2.00 (as at: 10/2015) to the post office. For legal reasons, we can only deliver to persons under the age of 18 subject to cash on delivery.

In accordance with subsection 4, we deliver to Austria and Switzerland on account, by PayPal, against payment by credit card or payment in advance. To the Netherlands we further deliver against payment by iDEAL. To other countries by PayPal and against payment in advance. Payment by credit card is also possible for deliveries to the following countries: Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta (M), Monaco, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine.

For purchases or deliveries to customers in Germany only the prices specified in euro in our catalogue/Online Shop and in the current advertising at the time of your order apply; pricing errors therein are reserved. All prices are inclusive of the statutory value added tax currently standing at 7% or 19% and are exclusive of shipping costs, the amounts of which are listed above in Section 2.
For purchases by and deliveries to customers who are outside Germany but still within the European Union (EU), we are obliged to charge VAT at the statutory rate applicable in the particular country. As VAT rates vary from country to country, the prices charged may differ from those shown in our catalogue/online shop and in the current advertising at the time of your order. For purchases by and deliveries to customers outside the European Union (EU), we charge no VAT; e.g. in Switzerland or Russia you must pay the applicable customs duty and VAT to the national post office on delivery of the goods. In such cases, the German VAT (currently 7% or 19%) included in our advertised prices is omitted.
All prices are exclusive of shipping costs, which are listed in our catalogue on page 769 and in our online shop under "Shipping costs".
The quick and easy way to make a claim is to go to the store where you purchased the goods. Naturally, you can also make claims about goods purchased by mail order in every Louis store, except our store(s) in Switzerland, or you can make a claim online about goods purchased in a Louis store in Germany or Austria.
For goods purchased in our store(s) in Switzerland, please only make your claim there.
Mail order is usually the fastest way to place your order (if there is no Louis store near you). You can contact us easily by internet, e-mail, telephone, fax or postcard. We are at your service round the clock, 365 days a year (no answering machine). Besides this round-the-clock order acceptance service, you can contact us at our head office ideally during core office hours from Monday to Thursday 9.30 am to 3.30 pm and on Fridays until 1.00 pm. Naturally, we are also available outside these times, but the flexitime system allows our staff to arrange their working hours flexibly.
Only consumers are entitled to the statutory right of revocation. Pursuant to section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) a consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that can predominantly neither be attributed to their commercial nor their independent professional activities. You are provided below with information on the prerequisites and consequences of the statutory right of revocation for mail order purchases. A contractual granting of rights going beyond the law is not associated therewith.
12.1 Instructions on cancellation
You are entitled to cancel this contract within 14 days without stating any reason. The cancellation deadline is 14 days from the day on which you, or a third party appointed by you who is not the carrier, take possession of the last goods, last part delivery or last item. In order to exercise your right of cancellation, you must inform us, Detlev Louis Motorrad-Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH, Rungedamm 35, 21035 Hamburg, Germany, telephone: 0049 40 734 193 60, fax 0049 40 734 193 47, email: info@louis.de, by means of an unambiguous declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, phone, a fax or an email), about your decision to cancel this contract. For this purpose you can use the specimen cancellation form suggested in section 12.3 below, but this is not compulsory. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient to dispatch the notice of cancellation before the deadline has expired.
We can refuse to pay the refund until we have received the goods back from you or until you provide evidence that they have been sent back, whichever of these happens first.
You shall send or take the goods back to us without delay and in any event within 14 days at most from the day on which you notify us that you are cancelling the contract. The deadline is met if you dispatch the goods before the 14-day deadline has expired.
We shall bear the cost of returning the goods from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, and Switzerland. Otherwise you shall bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
You are only required to reimburse any loss in value of the goods if such loss in value is attributable to the goods having been handled in a way that is not necessary for the purpose of checking their quality, characteristics and method of operation.
12.2 Exceptions to the right of cancellation
There are legal exceptions to the right of cancellation (§ 312 g para. 2 BGB (German Civil Code). For example, you cannot cancel the distance-selling contract if the goods ordered were specially manufactured to your specifications or are clearly tailored to your personal requirements and cannot be sold to anyone else, or only at an unacceptable discount, on account of implementing your specifications.

III.Service Guide
1. Important information on technical articles and licensing requirements
1. If you would like to purchase a consumable item or accessory, such as spark plugs, batteries, luggage systems or the like, please observe exactly the specifications and approvals set out in your manufacturer’s user handbook or its instructions and only use products/dimensions which are specially approved for your vehicle! Non-compliance can lead to serious damage to your vehicle and to life and limb. We are not liable therefor; subsection 9 also applies in this respect.
2. All information on type approval, component type approval as well as construction and operation specifications with respect to our products and their use, such as "not subject to TÜV (German vehicle testing agency) approval", "TÜV certification", "General Operating Licence (ABE)", etc., apply solely to the area of validity of the relevant German regulations, especially German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic (StVZO). We have not checked the legal situation outside Germany and so we cannot make any statements on this. Please clarify this yourself with the competent authorities in your country prior to use, assembly, etc. On the other hand, all articles with E or ECE test marks ("E-tested") are approved in accordance with their intended use throughout the EU.
3. You can find our special battery information on vehicle batteries in our catalogue on Page 761. Here we have also printed information for you on the return of and deposit for vehicle batteries in accordance with § 10 of the Batteries Act (BattG) as well as our advice pursuant to section § 18 BattG. You can also find both of them as follows on this page.
2. Information on vehicle batteries
Old vehicle batteries can be returned by the end user without charge to the seller at or near his retail outlet or to the mail order supplier's distribution warehouse (must not be sent through the mail due to the hazardous goods regulations). Some municipal collection points or recycling centres may make a charge. Please inquire at your local collection point. End users who purchase a new vehicle battery without returning an old one must pay a deposit of € 7.50, incl. VAT, which will be refunded when an old battery is brought back. Our stated battery prices do not include this deposit. If the old vehicle battery is returned to a different dealer (i.e. not the one to whom the deposit was paid), this dealer is required under Section 11 Para. 3 of the German Battery Law (BattG), to issue written or electronic confirmation that the battery has been accepted without a refund of the deposit, if so requested by the end user. Dealers who sell vehicle batteries via distance selling (internet, mail order, catalogue sales etc.) are obliged to refund the deposit upon presentation of the written or electronic confirmation of return, provided such confirmation is not more than two weeks old at the time of presentation.
3. Notice in compliance with Section 18 of the German Battery Law (BattG)
The crossed-out refuse bin symbol depicted at the top right means: batteries must not be put into domestic waste. If any of the following letters appear underneath this symbol (Pb: battery contains lead, Cd: battery contains cadmium, Hg: battery contains mercury), this means that the battery contains these metals and therefore special rules apply to its disposal. Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. They may contain substances that are harmful to the environment and pose a health risk. Please return used batteries to us, or take them to your municipal recycling centre or battery dealer. The return of used batteries is free of charge and required by law; in case you want to return the batteries elsewhere than at a Louis store, please be aware that eventual costs are at your charge. All used batteries are re-used, enabling valuable materials to be recycled and, at the same time, protecting the environment and health.
4. Germany's waste oil legislation (AltölV)
The German Waste Oil Regulations require us to accept used engine and gearbox oil, oil filters and oily waste resulting from an oil change free of charge at our outlets, up to same quantity as was sold to you as the end-user. As an alternative, we offer you the option of taking your used oil to a large number of authorised garages throughout Germany. This service is free of charge. You can also have your oil change done expertly for you at these garages.
You can find these specialist workshops at /service/filialen. Or you can phone us on 0049 40 734 193 60. We will be pleased to give you the address of your nearest authorised garage that accepts used oil. We regret that we are not able to reimburse the cost of travelling to the garage.
5. Information on § 18 German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)
6. Advice on subsequent delivery/Recording of additional parts of orders in the case of orders from abroad
For subsequent deliveries, as described in subsection II.3, we record additional parts of orders according to minimum article values which are set individually for each destination country as listed below:
We do not record additional parts of orders for any countries which are not listed. In this case we request that you reorder the article when it is available again.
Various services may differ outside Germany due to the national legislation applicable there or not be rendered for that reason. Upon publication of this catalogue all other catalogues cease to be valid. All illustrations of the goods we offer, e.g. in catalogues or on product pages, are non-binding. Illustrated accessories are not included in the delivery contents unless expressly described to the contrary.
