"BGB"). The range of goods in our online shop is aimed exclusively at buyers who have reached the age of 18. Our deliveries, services, and offers are made exclusively based on these General Terms and Conditions. The General Terms

and Conditions therefore also apply to companies for all future business relationships, even if they are not expressly agreed again. The inclusion of a customer's general terms and conditions that contradict our terms and conditions is already being objected to.   

§ 2 CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT

   

The presentation of the goods in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding application for the conclusion of a purchase contract, but rather should be a non-binding order invitation. By clicking on the button "Buy now" you submit a binding purchase application following § 145 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (the Civil Code, "BGB").   

Upon receipt of the purchase request, you will receive an automatically generated e-mail confirming that we have received your order (confirmation of receipt). This acknowledgment of receipt does not constitute acceptance of your purchase request. A contract is not yet concluded by the confirmation of receipt. A purchase contract for the products is only concluded when we expressly declare acceptance of the purchase offer (order confirmation) or if we send the products to you – without a prior express declaration of acceptance. Exception: in case of payment with prepayment and PayPal, the order is accepted immediately with your order.   

   

§ 3 PRICES AND SHIPPING COSTS

   

The prices listed on the product pages are gross prices and are valid plus shipping costs. No vat will be charged following § 19 (1) of the Umsatzsteuergesetz (German Value Added Tax Act, "UStG").

Besides, we must not have assumed the risk of sourcing ordered goods. In the event of the unavailability of the goods, we will refund payments already made to you without delay. We do not assume the risk of having to procure an ordered good (procurement risk). This also applies to the ordering of goods which are described only by their nature and characteristics (generic goods).

§ 10 TRANSPORT DAMAGE

  

If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please complain to the delivery company immediately and contact us as soon as possible.

This limitation does not apply to claims arising from damage resulting from injury to life, body or health or from the violation of an essential contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place. and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligation) as well as for claims due to other damages, which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the user or his vicarious agents.   

Besides, the statutory provisions apply to the warranty, in particular, the two-year limitation period following § 438 (1) No. 3 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (the Civil Code, "BGB").   

 

If you are an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (the Civil Code, "BGB"), the statutory provisions apply with the following modifications:

The timely dispatch is sufficient to meet the deadline. This also applies to hidden defects found later on from detection. In the event of a breach of the obligation to investigate and complain, the assertion of warranty claims is excluded.  

  • In the event of defects, we shall at our discretion provide warranty by rectification or replacement delivery (subsequent performance). In the event of repair, we do not have to bear the increased costs incurred by the transfer of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, provided that the shipment does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.  

  • If the subsequent performance fails twice, you can demand a reduction at your discretion or withdraw from the contract.  

  • The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods.  
     

   

§ 12 LIABILITY

Claims for damages by the customer are excluded unless otherwise specified below. The above exclusion of liability also applies to the benefit of the legal representatives and vicarious agents of the provider, if the customer asserts claims against them.   

Excluded from the previously determined exclusion of liability are claims for damages due to injury to life, body, health, and claims for damages arising from the violation of essential contractual obligations. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is necessary to achieve the objective of the contract, e.g. the provider has to hand over the goods to the customer free of material and legal defects and to obtain ownership of it. The liability for damages that are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the provider, his legal representatives or vicarious agents are also excluded from the disclaimer. The provisions of the Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG) remain unaffected.

We make every effort to resolve any differences of opinion alike in our contract by mutual agreement. Besides, we are not obliged to participate in dispute resolution procedures by a consumer arbitration board.
