  2. (hereinafter referred to as the Provider) and the customer in their capacity as a consumer (hereinafter referred to as the Customer), the following General Terms and Conditions in their version valid at the time of the order apply exclusively.

  3. The Customer is a consumer insofar as the purpose of the ordered delivery and service cannot be attributed to their commercial or self-employed professional activity.

II. Conclusion of the Contract

  1. The Customer can select products from the range offered in the provider’s online shop and collect them in a so-called shopping cart by clicking the “Add to Cart” button. The contents of the shopping cart can be determined at any time by clicking the “Shopping Cart” button. The customer can view the data contained therein (e.g., quantity) at any time and, if necessary, change it or remove it from the shopping cart by clicking the “Delete” button. A binding order is not placed for these products.
  2. By clicking the “Continue” button, the customer is taken to the order overview, where all data is listed again. Before sending the order, the customer has the opportunity to check all information (e.g., name, address, shipping, payment method, and ordered items) again and, if necessary, change it or cancel the purchase completely by closing the browser. The customer submits a binding request to purchase the items in the shopping cart by clicking the “Buy” button.
  3. The provider will then send the customer an automatic acknowledgment of receipt by email, in which the customer’s order is listed again and can be printed out using the “Print” function. The automatic acknowledgment of receipt documents that the customer’s order has been received by the provider and at the same time represents acceptance of the offer. The contract is thus concluded.
  4. In deviation from (3), when choosing the payment methods “Sofort” and PayPal, the contract is concluded when the payment process is initiated and carried out by the payment service provider.
  5. The contract text (order data and terms and conditions) is stored by the seller. However, storage is limited, so the buyer should take care of printing or separate storage. Regardless, the buyer will receive all relevant order data by email, which can be printed out.

III. Prices and Shipping Costs

  1. All prices stated on the provider’s website are final prices, including other price components. Value-added tax is not separately identified. In the case of cross-border delivery, additional taxes (e.g., for intra-community acquisition) and/or duties (e.g., customs duties) may be incurred in individual cases, which are to be paid directly to the relevant customs or tax authorities and not to the provider.
  2. In addition to the prices indicated, shipping costs may be charged for the delivery of goods. In this case, the shipping costs will be clearly indicated to the customer on the product pages, in the shopping cart system, and on the order page and are to be borne by the customer.

IV. Payment Methods

  1. The payment methods available to the customer are clearly indicated on the provider’s website.
  2. In the case of payment by SEPA direct debit, the payment amount is debited from the customer’s specified account by direct debit procedure upon conclusion of the contract. The delivery is then made taking into account the specified delivery time after successful bank debit.
  3. When selecting the PayPal payment method, the customer is automatically redirected to PayPal. The payment amount is then debited from the customer’s account immediately after entering the required data via PayPal upon completion of the order. In this case, the PayPal terms of use apply, which the customer can access at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if there is no PayPal account – at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full.

  5. The offer of the “Apple Pay” payment option is made in cooperation with Apple Inc., Park Way, Cupertino, California, U.S. When selecting the Apple Pay payment method, the seller is automatically redirected to their Apple Pay account as part of the ordering process. Payment is made by transfer via Apple Pay upon successful authentication. Therefore, the purchase amount is debited directly from the customer’s account with the execution of the transfer. Further information on Apple Pay can be found at: https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/.
  6. In the case of credit card payment outside of PayPal, the payment amount is debited from the customer’s specified account according to the contractual agreement between the customer and the credit card company.
  7. The purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. If the payment due date is determined by the calendar, the customer is in default as soon as the deadline is missed. In this case, the provider is entitled to demand default interest from the customer at a rate of 5 percentage points above the base rate.
  8. The customer’s obligation to pay default interest does not preclude the provider from asserting further damages caused by default.

V. Warranty for Material Defects

The provider is liable for material defects in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, in particular §§ 434 et seq. BGB. The buyer is entitled to the regular statutory warranty rights for products from the provider.

VI. Retention of Title

The delivered goods remain the property of the provider until full payment has been made.

VII. Liability

  1. Claims of the customer for damages are excluded. Excluded from this are claims for damages by the customer due to a breach of life, body, health, or essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) as well as liability for other damages based on intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty by the provider, its legal representatives, or vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is necessary to achieve the purpose of the contract.
  2. In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the provider is only liable for the typically foreseeable damage if this was simply caused by negligence, unless it concerns claims for damages by the customer due to a breach of life, body, or health.
  3. The limitations of paragraphs 1 and 2 also apply in favor of the legal representatives and vicarious agents of the provider if claims are asserted directly against them.

VIII. Final Provisions

Contracts between the provider and the customer are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. This choice of law only applies to consumers insofar as the granted protection is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence. The contract language is German. The contract remains binding in its remaining parts even if individual points are legally ineffective.

IX. Dispute Resolution

Online dispute resolution pursuant to Art. 14 (1) ODR Regulation: The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS), which can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

The provider is not obligated to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
