The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day following the dispatch of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this constitutes the rejection of the offer. The customer is then no longer bound to his declaration of intent.

2.4 The text of the contract concluded between the Seller and the Customer shall be stored by the Seller. The customer can view the general terms and conditions at any time on this page. The order data, the revocation instruction as well as the AGB are sent to the customer by email. After completion of the order, the contract text is no longer visible to the customer online.

4. Terms of delivery and shipping

4.1 The delivery of goods by dispatch shall be made to the following address the delivery address indicated by the customer. Notwithstanding this, in the case of payment by PayPal, the delivery address deposited with PayPal by the customer at the time of payment is decisive.

4.2 If the seller incurs additional costs due to the indication of a wrong delivery address or a wrong addressee or other circumstances which lead to the impossibility of delivery, these are to be reimbursed by the customer, unless he is not responsible for the incorrect indication or impossibility. The same applies in the event that the customer was temporarily prevented from accepting the service, unless the seller has given him reasonable advance notice of the service. Excluded from this regulation are the costs of sending if the customer has exercised his right of revocation effectively. Here it remains with the legal or the regulation met by the salesman.


4.3 The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the freight forwarder, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer is an entrepreneur. If the customer is a consumer, the transfer of risk shall not take place until the goods have been handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive the goods.
In deviation from this, the transfer of risk shall also take place for consumers as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the carrier, the carrier or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment itself and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.
4.4 The conclusion of the contract shall be subject to the reservation that in the event of improper, delayed or non-delivery to us by our suppliers, we shall not be obliged to perform at all or only partially or correspondingly later. This shall only apply if there is a congruent hedging transaction between the Seller and the Supplier, if the Seller is not responsible for the improper, delayed or non-delivery of goods to the Seller and if the Seller is unable to remedy the defect with reasonable effort. In case of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately. Any payment made will be promptly reimbursed.

4.5 If collection by the customer has been agreed, the seller shall inform the customer that the goods ordered by the customer are ready for collection.

This assignment applies irrespective of whether the reserved goods were resold without or after their processing. The customer may collect claims even after the assignment, but this does not affect the seller's right to collect the claims himself.

    8. Adhesion

    The Seller's liability under all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory, as well as tortious claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses shall be determined as follows:

    8.1 The Seller shall only be liable for damages resulting from intentional or grossly negligent conduct without limitation.
    The Seller shall also be liable for slight negligence in the event of injury to life, limb and health and breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations).

    An essential contractual obligation is one whose fulfilment makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the contractual partner regularly relies and may rely.

    The seller is also liable, as regulated above, on the basis of a guarantee promise, unless otherwise regulated.

    This also applies to indirect consequential damages such as in particular lost profit and for mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.

    8.2 Liability shall be limited - except in the case of intentional or grossly negligent conduct or in the case of damage resulting from injury to life, body and health and the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) - to the damage typically foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract and shall otherwise be limited in amount to the average damage typical of the contract. This also applies to indirect consequential damages such as in particular lost profit.

    8.3 Any further liability on the part of the seller is excluded.

    8.4 The above liability provisions shall also apply analogously in favour of the Seller's employees and vicarious agents.


    9. applicable law

    The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods.
    The legal regulations for the restriction of the choice of law and for the applicability of compelling regulations in particular of the state, in which the customer as a consumer has his habitual residence, remain unaffected.

    10. place of jurisdiction

    If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the registered office of the seller.
    If the customer has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the place of business of the seller is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract, if this contract or claims from this contract can be attributed to the professional or commercial activity of the customer.
    However, in the aforementioned cases, the seller is also entitled to call the court at the customer's place of business.
