§ 1 SCOPE OF BUSINESS, DEFINITION OF TERMS
(1) The business relationship between the marketplace Supplier (hereinafter “Supplier”) and the Customer (hereinafter “Customer”), is subject exclusively to the following General Terms of Business as applicable at the time the order was made. No other terms will be recognized, unless the Supplier agrees to their validity in writing.
(2) The Customer is an end-consumer, provided that the purpose of the deliveries and services ordered cannot be attributed to the consumer's commercial or independent professional activity. In contrast, an entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or unincorporated organisation who, in concluding the contract, is exercising their commercial or independent professional activity.
(3) The Supplier's marketplace is aimed at both consumers and entrepreneurs.
(4) For contracts with consumers, the following provisions of §§ 2-11 apply.
(5) For contracts with companies, the following provisions of § 12 apply.
§ 2 CONTRACT WITH CONSUMERS
(1) The Customer can set up a user account for the marketplace of the Supplier only when he has received a dealer code from his dealer or after the dealer has registered the Customer with the Supplier. In the second case, the Customer will receive a welcome email that includes a dealer code, with which the Customer can then create a user account for the marketplace.
(2) After the Customer has set up a user account for the marketplace, he can select a product from the Supplier's range and use the “add to basket” button, collecting their choices in a so-called shopping basket. The product representations in the online shop do not constitute legally binding offers from the Supplier, but are an indication of offers to the Customer. Clicking the “Buy” button constitutes a binding order to purchase the products in the shopping basket. Before submitting the order, the Customer can change and view the data at any time. The application can, however, only be submitted and delivered when the Customer activates the checkbox “[] I have read the General Terms and Conditions and agree with their validity.” and “[] I accept the cancellation conditions.” The offer is then processed.
(b) The Supplier then sends the Customer an automatic acknowledgment of receipt by e-mail, in which the Customer's order is listed again and which the Customer can print using the “Print” function. The automatic acknowledgment of receipt merely documents that the Customer's order has been received by the Supplier and does not constitute acceptance of the application. The contract will be completed only when the Supplier sends a notice of acceptance by a separate e-mail (acknowledgement of order).
(1) Delivery is made only within Germany and Austria.
(2) Delivery times are detailed on the product pages.
(3) If not all ordered products are in stock, we are entitled to make partial shipments at our cost, in so far it is reasonable for the Customer.
Until full payment is completed, the delivered goods shall remain the property of the Supplier. Before transfer of ownership a pledge, transfer, processing or transformation without our consent is not permitted.
(1) All prices on the Supplier's website are to be understood as inclusive of the appropriate legal value added taxes and plus any shipping costs.
(2) The total shipping costs including delivery costs are calculated by the Supplier and are given in a single amount. This amount is on the product pages and on the order page. The shipping costs will be borne by the Customer, unless the Customer exercises his right of withdrawal.
(3) The goods will be shipped by mail. The shipping risks will be borne by the Supplier when the Customer is an end-consumer.
(4) When paying cash, an additional fee of € 5.15 will be charged, levied by the shipping agent.
(1) The Customer may make the payment by bank transfer, PayPal or Giropay.
(2) If the bank transfer option is chosen, the Supplier will provide the Customer with bank details in the order confirmation. The invoice amount is to be paid within 10 days to the account of the Supplier.
Payment of the purchase price is payable immediately on conclusion of the contract. If a calendar date has been specified for payment, the Customer will be in default if the date is not observed. In this case, the Customer must pay the Supplier default interest at the rate of 5 percentage points above the base rate.
The Customer's obligation to pay default interest excludes the enforcement of further damages payable to the Supplier which are caused by the default.
(1) The Supplier is liable for defects in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, in particular the §§ 434 ff. BGB.
(1) Customer claims for damages are excluded. Exempt from this rule are claims for damages due to injury to life, body and health, or in case of violation of essential contractual duties (cardinal obligations) as well as liability for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of the Supplier, his legal representatives or vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations are those where performance is necessary to achieve the objective of the contract.
(2) In the event of a breach of the essential contractual obligations, the Supplier shall be liable only for damage of a nature that is foreseeable and typical for this type of contract and which is caused by recklessness unless the claim is based on injury to life, limb, body or health.
(3) The limitations of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall also apply to the legal representatives and vicarious agents of the Supplier, if claims are made directly against them.
(4) The provisions of the Product Liability Act are unaffected.
(1) Customers have a fourteen day period for withdrawal.
