and you as our customer. The GTC apply regardless of whether you are a consumer, entrepreneur or merchant as defined by §§ 1 ff. of the HGB (German Commercial Code). According to § 13 BGB (German Civil Code), the consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes, which are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. According to § 14 BGB, an entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity, which acts in the execution of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction. (2) All agreements made between you and us in connection with the purchase contract arise in particular from these GTC, our written order confirmation and our declaration of acceptance. The details of the goods, in particular the essential characteristics of the goods, can be found in the article description and the supplementary information on our website.

(3) The version of the General Terms and Conditions valid at the time the contract is concluded shall apply.

(4) Our services and deliveries are carried out exclusively on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions. (5) Conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the customer shall not be recognised unless we expressly agree to their use. This shall also apply if we do not expressly object to their inclusion.

 

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

(1) The presentation and advertising of articles in our online shop does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a sales contract. Rather, it is an invitation to place an order. By placing your order you expressly accept the General Terms and Conditions.

(2) By sending an order via the online shop by clicking on the "Send order" button you are placing a legally binding order. You have the additional option of submitting your offer by telephone, in writing, by fax or by e-mail. In principle, you are bound to your binding order after submission. If you have not received a declaration of acceptance, order confirmation or notification of the delivery of the goods or no goods within 5 days, you are no longer bound to the order. In this case the contract is not concluded. We shall inform you about this immediately and reimburse any payments already received without delay. Your right to revoke your order after conclusion of the contract according to § 3 of these GTC remains unaffected.

(3) We will confirm the receipt of your order via the online shop immediately by e-mail. This e-mail does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order, unless it expressly declares acceptance in addition to confirmation of receipt.

(4) A contract is only concluded when we accept the order by means of a declaration of acceptance in text form (e.g. by e-mail) or by delivering the ordered items.

(5) Orders for deliveries abroad can only be considered with a minimum order value. The minimum order value can be found in the price information provided in the online shop.

 

§ 3 Right of revocation

(1) If you are a consumer, you are entitled to a right of revocation in accordance with the statutory provisions.

(2) If you as a consumer make use of your right of revocation according to § 3 clause 1, you have to bear the regular costs of the return.

The customer is further authorised to collect the claim. Insofar as he/she does not properly comply with this obligation, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

If the reserved goods are combined and mixed, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

The choice of the securities to be released shall be incumbent upon us.
