The inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. Entrepreneur within the meaning of these terms and conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not constitute a binding offer from the seller, but serve as a binding offer by the customer.
2.2 The customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking on the button that completes the ordering process. The customer can also make the offer to the seller by telephone, email or post.
2.3 The seller can accept the offer of the customer within five days,
- By sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
- By delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in so far as the access of the goods to the customer is relevant, or
- by asking the customer to pay after placing his order.
Where several of the above alternatives are present, the contract shall come into force at the time when one of the above alternatives occurs first. The deadline for the acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the submission of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the submission of the offer. If the seller does not accept the offer of the customer within the aforementioned deadline, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound to his consent.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the contract text is saved by the seller after the contract is concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. The seller will not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online shop before submitting his order, the order data will be archived on the seller's website and can be called up free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account, specifying the corresponding login data.
2.6 Before submitting a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.7 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

4) Prices and terms of payment
4.1 Unless the seller's product description indicates otherwise, the prices quoted are total prices that include the statutory value added tax. If applicable, additional delivery and shipping costs are specified separately in the respective product description.
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for money transfers by banks (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs can also be incurred in relation to the transfer of money if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
4.3 The payment option (s) will be communicated to the customer in the online shop of the seller.
5) Delivery and shipping conditions
5.1 The delivery of goods is made by mail to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the order processing of the seller is decisive.
5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller. This does not apply with regard to the shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. For the return costs, if the customer exercises his right of cancellation effectively, the provisions made in the seller's cancellation policy apply.
5.3 The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This only applies in the event that the seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the seller has concluded a specific hedging transaction with the supplier with due care. The seller will make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of the unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be reimbursed immediately.
5.4 In the case of self-collection, the seller first informs the customer via email that the goods he has ordered are ready for collection. After receiving this e-mail, the customer can collect the goods from the seller's headquarters after consultation with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.
If the seller delivers in advance, he retains title to the delivered goods until full payment of the owed purchase price.
7) Liability for defects (guarantee)
7.1 If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory warranty for defects shall apply.
7.2 The following applies to used goods: Claims for defects are excluded if the defect does not appear until one year after delivery of the goods. Defects that occur within one year of delivery of the goods can be asserted within the statutory limitation period. However, the shortening of the liability period to one year does not apply
- for things that have been used for a structure according to their usual use and have caused its defectiveness,
- for damages and reimbursement claims of the customer, as well
- in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.
7.3 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is asked to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply, this has no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8.1 The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties, excluding the laws governing the international purchase of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
8.2 Furthermore, with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal, this choice of law does not apply to consumers who, at the time of the conclusion of the contract, do not belong to any Member State of the European Union and whose sole domicile and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of the conclusion of the contract.
9) Alternative Dispute Resolution
9.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
This platform serves as a point of entry for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts in which a consumer is involved.
9.2 The seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute settlement procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
