(hereinafter referred to as the Provider)
These General Terms and Conditions (GTC), once incorporated, apply to all contracts for the purchase of goods, services or other items (hereinafter “goods”) in the online shop at the above URL, in the version valid at the time the contract is concluded. These GTC apply exclusively. Deviating terms and conditions of the customer do not become part of the contract unless the Provider expressly agrees to them.
2.1 The offers in the online shop constitute a non-binding invitation to the visitors of the online shop to submit an offer to purchase the goods offered in the shop.
2.2 The order for the goods is placed via the Provider’s online order form. After selecting the desired goods, entering all requested mandatory information and completing all other mandatory steps in the order process, the selected goods can be ordered by clicking the order button at the end of the checkout page (order). By placing the order, the customer submits a binding offer to purchase the selected goods. The contract is concluded when the Provider accepts the customer’s offer. Acceptance takes place when the Provider confirms the conclusion of the contract in writing or in text form (for example by e-mail) and this order confirmation reaches the customer, or when the Provider delivers the ordered goods and these goods reach the customer, or when the Provider requests the customer to pay (for example an invoice or credit card payment during the order process) and this request for payment reaches the customer; the decisive point in time for the conclusion of the contract is the moment at which one of the alternatives named in the first part of the sentence first occurs.
2.3 Before submitting the binding order via the Provider’s online order form, the customer can review their entries and correct them at any time using the usual keyboard, mouse, touch or other available input functions. In addition, all entries are displayed once more in a confirmation window before the binding submission of the order and can also be corrected there using the usual keyboard, mouse, touch or other available input functions.
2.4 The Provider will store the text of the contract after the contract is concluded and send it to the customer in text form (for example by e-mail). The Provider does not make the contract text accessible beyond this.
2.5 The following languages are available for the conclusion of the contract: German.
Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal for off-premises contracts and distance contracts. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession. Details can be found in the cancellation policy, which is made available to every consumer no later than immediately before the conclusion of the contract.
4.1 The prices listed in the online shop at the time of the order apply. All prices include statutory value added tax where applicable, plus any shipping costs that may be listed. The customer is informed of the available payment options in the Provider’s online shop.
4.2 If “payment in advance” has been agreed, the purchase price is due immediately after the contract is concluded.
4.3 If payment by credit or debit card has been agreed, the purchase price is due immediately after the contract is concluded.
4.4 If “Sofortueberweisung” (instant bank transfer) has been agreed, the purchase price is due immediately after the contract is concluded. Payment processing is handled by Sofort GmbH, Theresienhoehe 12, 80339 Munich.
4.5 If “Apple Pay” is selected as the payment method, payment processing is handled by the payment service Apple Inc., Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA. Payment is due immediately after the contract is concluded.
4.6 If “Google Pay” is selected as the payment method, payment processing is handled by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Payment is due immediately after the contract is concluded.
4.7 If payment is made with “American Express”, processing is handled by American Express Europe S.A., Theodor-Heuss-Allee 112, 60486 Frankfurt am Main. Payment is due immediately after the contract is concluded.
4.8 If “VISA” is selected as the payment method, payment processing is handled by Visa Europe Services Inc., London Branch, 1 Sheldon Square, London W2 6TT, United Kingdom. Payment is due immediately after the contract is concluded.
The purchased goods remain the property of the Provider until the purchase price has been paid in full.
6.1 Subject to any deviating agreements, delivery is made within the delivery time stated in the online shop to the delivery address provided by the customer. The applicable delivery times can be found in the online shop.
6.2 In the case of freight forwarding deliveries, delivery is made “free curbside”, subject to any deviating agreements. This means delivery to the nearest public curbside to the stated delivery address.
6.3 If the Provider is unable to deliver the ordered goods because it was not supplied itself through no fault of its own, even though it concluded a matching hedging transaction with a reliable supplier in good time, the Provider is released from its obligation to perform and may withdraw from the contract. The Provider is obliged to inform the customer without delay about the impossibility of performance. Any consideration already provided by the contractual partner will be refunded to them without delay. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected by this paragraph.
The statutory provisions on liability for defects apply.
8.1 The Provider is liable without limitation:
8.2 If the Provider negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, its liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless liability is unlimited under the preceding paragraph. Material contractual obligations are obligations which the contract imposes on the Provider according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place, and on the observance of which the customer may regularly rely.
8.3 In all other respects, liability of the Provider as well as the liability of its vicarious agents and legal representatives is excluded.
8.4 The customer indemnifies the Provider against any third-party claims, including the costs of legal defence in their statutory amount, that are asserted against the Provider as a result of unlawful or contractually non-compliant actions by the customer.
The Provider treats the personal data of its customers confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations. For further details, please refer to the Provider’s privacy policy.
10.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, insofar as this choice of law does not result in a consumer with habitual residence in the EU being deprived of the mandatory statutory provisions of the law of their country of residence.
10.2 If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the court at the registered office of the Provider has jurisdiction, unless an exclusive place of jurisdiction is established for the dispute. This also applies if the customer has no place of residence within the European Union. The registered office of our company can be found in the heading of these GTC.
10.3 If any provision of this contract is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this contract remain unaffected.
The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
