Article 3 – Applicability
1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from the entrepreneur and to every distance contract and order concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer.
2. Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded that the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the entrepreneur’s premises and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge as soon as possible upon request.
3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, notwithstanding the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that the consumer can easily store it on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be consulted electronically and that they will be sent free of charge, electronically or otherwise, at the consumer’s request.
4. If specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis, and in the event of conflicting terms and conditions the consumer may always invoke the applicable provision that is most favourable to them.
5. If one or more provisions of these general terms and conditions are at any time wholly or partially void or annulled, the agreement and these terms and conditions will otherwise remain in force, and the provision in question will be replaced without delay, in mutual consultation, by a provision that approximates the intent of the original as closely as possible.
6. Situations not covered by these general terms and conditions must be assessed ‘in the spirit’ of these general terms and conditions.
7. Ambiguities about the interpretation or content of one or more provisions of our terms and conditions must be interpreted ‘in the spirit’ of these general terms and conditions.
Article 4 – The offer
1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
2. The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adjust the offer.
3. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
4. All images and specifications in the offer are indicative and cannot give rise to compensation or termination of the agreement.
5. Images of products are a truthful representation of the products offered. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the colours shown exactly match the real colours of the products.
6. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to accepting the offer. This concerns in particular:
◦ the price including taxes;
◦ any shipping costs;
◦ the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and which actions are required for this;
◦ whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
◦ the method of payment, delivery and performance of the agreement;
• the period for accepting the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
• the rate for distance communication if the costs of using the technique for distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the means of communication used;
• whether the agreement is archived after its conclusion and, if so, how the consumer can consult it;
• the way in which the consumer, before concluding the agreement, can check the data they provided in the context of the agreement and correct it if desired;
• any other languages in which, in addition to English, the agreement can be concluded;
• the codes of conduct to which the entrepreneur has subjected itself and the way in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
• the minimum duration of the distance contract in the case of a continuing performance contract;
• available sizes, colours and types of materials.
Article 5 – The agreement
1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the agreement is concluded at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and fulfils the conditions set out therein.
2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer may terminate the agreement.
3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and will ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures for this.
4. Within legal limits, the entrepreneur may inform itself whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as of all facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into the distance contract. If, on the basis of this investigation, the entrepreneur has good reasons not to enter into the agreement, it is entitled to refuse an order or request, stating its reasons, or to attach special conditions to its execution.
5. The entrepreneur will send the following information with the product or service to the consumer, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier:
6. the visiting address of the entrepreneur’s establishment where the consumer can go with complaints;
7. the conditions under which and the manner in which the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
8. the information about warranties and existing after-sales service;
9. the information included in Article 4(3) of these terms and conditions, unless the entrepreneur has already provided this information to the consumer before the execution of the agreement;
10. the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration.
11. In the case of a continuing performance contract, the provision in the previous paragraph applies only to the first delivery.
12. Every agreement is entered into under the suspensive condition of sufficient availability of the products concerned.
Article 6 – Right of withdrawal
For the delivery of products:
1. When purchasing products, the consumer has the option of terminating the agreement without giving reasons for 14 days. This cooling-off period starts on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or by a representative designated in advance by the consumer and made known to the entrepreneur.
2. During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care. They will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether they wish to keep it. If they exercise their right of withdrawal, they will return the product with all accessories supplied and – if reasonably possible – in its original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
3. If the consumer wishes to exercise their right of withdrawal, they must notify the entrepreneur within 14 days of receiving the product. The consumer must do so using the model form. After the consumer has notified the entrepreneur that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods were returned on time, for example by means of proof of shipment.
4. If, after the expiry of the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, the customer has not indicated that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur, the purchase is final.
For the provision of services:
1. When services are provided, the consumer has the option of terminating the agreement without giving reasons for at least 14 days, starting on the day the agreement is concluded.
2. To exercise their right of withdrawal, the consumer will follow the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur with the offer and/or at the latest upon delivery.
Article 7 – Costs in case of withdrawal
1. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, at most the costs of return shipment will be borne by them.
2. If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after withdrawal. This is subject to the condition that the product has already been received back by the online retailer or that conclusive proof of complete return can be provided. Refunds will be made using the same payment method used by the consumer, unless the consumer expressly agrees to a different payment method.
3. In the event of damage to the product due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any reduction in the value of the product.
4. The consumer cannot be held liable for a reduction in the value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided all legally required information about the right of withdrawal; this must be done before the purchase agreement is concluded.
Article 8 – Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
1. The entrepreneur may exclude the consumer’s right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal only applies if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in good time before the conclusion of the agreement.
2. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for products:
3. that have been made by the entrepreneur in accordance with the consumer’s specifications;
4. that are clearly personal in nature;
5. that by their nature cannot be returned;
6. that can spoil or age quickly;
7. whose price is tied to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
8. for individual newspapers and magazines;
9. for audio and video recordings and computer software of which the consumer has broken the seal;
10. for hygiene products of which the consumer has broken the seal.
11. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for services:
12. relating to accommodation, transport, catering or leisure activities to be performed on a specific date or during a specific period;
13. the delivery of which has begun with the express consent of the consumer before the cooling-off period has expired;
14. relating to bets and lotteries.
Article 9 – The price
1. During the period of validity stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered will not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
2. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are tied to fluctuations in the financial market, over which the entrepreneur has no influence, at variable prices. This dependence on fluctuations and the fact that any prices stated are target prices will be stated with the offer.
3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they result from statutory regulations or provisions.
4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:
5. they result from statutory regulations or provisions; or
6. the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.
7. The prices stated in the offer of products or services include VAT.
8. All prices are subject to printing and typesetting errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing and typesetting errors. In the event of printing and typesetting errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product at the incorrect price.
Article 10 – Conformity and warranty
1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the statutory provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
2. A warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the statutory rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement.
3. Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 4 weeks of delivery. Products must be returned in their original packaging and in new condition.
4. The entrepreneur’s warranty period corresponds to the manufacturer’s warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for each individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
5. The warranty does not apply if:
• the consumer has repaired and/or processed the delivered products themselves or had them repaired and/or processed by third parties;
• the delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have otherwise been handled carelessly or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging;
• the defect is wholly or partly the result of regulations that the government has imposed or will impose regarding the nature or quality of the materials used.
Article 11 – Delivery and execution
1. The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing requests for the provision of services.
2. The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the company.
3. With due observance of paragraph 4 of this article, the company will execute accepted orders expeditiously, but no later than within 30 days, unless the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only be partially executed, the consumer will be notified no later than 30 days after placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement free of charge. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
4. All delivery periods are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any stated periods. Exceeding a period does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
5. In the event of termination in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after termination.
6. If delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will make every effort to make a replacement item available. At the latest upon delivery, it will be stated in a clear and comprehensible manner that a replacement item is being delivered. The right of withdrawal cannot be excluded for replacement items. The costs of any return shipment are borne by the entrepreneur.
7. The risk of damage to and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer or to a representative designated in advance and made known to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
