§ 1 Scope of Application; Contract Language
§ 2 Applicable Law; Mandatory Consumer Protection Regulations
§ 3 Preparation of the Agreement
(1) The display of goods and services in our online shop shall not constitute a legally binding offer but a request for the placement of an order (invitatio ad offerendum).
During the order process you first of all place the requested items into the shopping cart. You may subsequently change the requested number of items at any time or remove selected items altogether. If you have placed merchandise into the cart, and after clicking the "Continue" button, you will arrive at a page in which you can enter your data and then select the shipment and payment options. Finally, a summary page will open up where you can double-check your information. You can correct input errors (e.g. concerning the type of payment, dates, or the requested number of items) by clicking on the respective "Change" button. If you wish to abort the order process, simply close your browser window. Otherwise, after clicking the confirmation button "Purchase", your declaration will be binding within the meaning of § 3 para. 2 of these GTC.
§ 5 Storage of the Contract Text
The contract clauses with information about the ordered goods and reserved services including these General Terms and Conditions and our cancellation policy will be sent to you by email upon the acceptance of the contract offer or the confirmation thereof. We do not store the contract clauses.
§ 6 Registration with Our Online Shop; Processing of your Personal Data
(1) You may place orders for our online shop merchandise as a guest or as a registered user. As registered user you do not have to input your personal data every time but simply log into your customer account before or during the order process with your email address and the password that you freely chose during registration. The registration alone does not create any purchase obligation for the goods offered by us.
§ 7 Payment Terms
The merchandise shall remain our property until full payment is received by us.
§ 9 Terms of Delivery; Customs Duties
(1) We ship the merchandise according to the agreements signed by you during the order process. The shipping costs are listed in the product description and shown by us separately on the invoice.

CONSEQUENCES OF WITHDRAWAL

§ 11 Warranty for the Purchase of Merchandise
(1) If the goods purchased and delivered in our online store are defective, you are entitled to demand supplementary performance, withdraw from the contract or reduce the purchase price (so-called warranty rights) within the framework of the statutory provisions. You are entitled to these warranty rights if the defects to the goods already existed at the time of delivery to you. In the case of defects that become apparent within a period of one year after receipt of the goods, we shall assume that these defects already existed at the time of delivery to you. In the case of defects that become apparent after expiration of one year from receipt of the goods and before expiration of the limitation period (see paragraph 2), you are entitled to the warranty rights if you can establish to us that these defects already existed at the time of delivery to you.
(2) The limitations period for warranty claims for the supplied merchandise is two years from the receipt of the merchandise. Claims for defects that we fraudulently concealed fall under the statute of limitations within the statutory limitations period.
(3) You have rights due to defects also in the context of a quality or shelf-life warranty if we explicitly and specifically issued such warranty for the sold merchandise.
§ 12 Disclaimer
(1) We are legally liable in case of premeditated malice and gross negligence. Furthermore we are liable in case of a negligent breach of obligations whose fulfillment makes the proper performance of the agreement possible in the first place, the breach of which jeopardizes the execution of the contractual purpose and on the fulfillment of which you as a customer can normally rely. In the latter case we shall however be liable only for predictable contract-typical damages. The same shall apply to any breaches of duty on the part of our vicarious agents.
§ 13 Online Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution; Severability Clause
(1) The European Commission offers a platform for online dispute resolution (OS) http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
