General Terms and Conditions
1. Validity
Unless explicitly agreed otherwise our General Terms and Conditions always apply in the version valid at the time of the respective contract closure, including those transactions in which the order is placed either by telephone or otherwise without writing or using a form and in particular for orders via our Webshop. Should individual regulations of these terms and conditions be ineffective in whole or in part due to mandatory statutory provisions (in particular: provisions of the Consumer Protection Act), the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions remain in effect.
2. Offer – Purchase Order
2.1 Our offers (brochures, catalogs, price lists, web shop …) are non-binding and should be understood as an invitation for you to submit an offer. A contract is concluded through our written order confirmation or through delivery in accordance with the order and is based exclusively on the content of these general terms and conditions, without any need for a special agreement in individual cases. Deviations from these conditions require a written agreement. Upon the acceptance of the delivery, you once again acknowledge the general terms and conditions as binding.
2.2 You can select goods and vouchers from the product range of our online shop and collect them in a shopping cart using the “Add to the shopping cart” button. By clicking on the “Buy now” button, you are automatically sending out an order and making a binding offer to us for a purchase of goods or vouchers collected in the shopping cart. By submitting your order, you agree to our terms and conditions and are bound to them.
2.3 After we have received the order, we will send you an automatic e-mail order confirmation incl. details to the order. This confirmation of receipt does not represent an acceptance of the offer, but only informs that the order has been received by us. You are bound to your order for 2 days after sending this order to us. The statutory right of withdrawal (right of withdrawal) remains unaffected. You will be notified of the day of receipt of your order as part of the confirmation of receipt.
2.4 The purchase contract is only concluded when you receive the confirmation of dispatch via a separate email (for voucher orders by sending the voucher via email). The contract language is German. You will receive the order data, cancellation policy, invoice and our terms and conditions, thus the purchase contract, also sent with the shipping confirmation. You can also view our terms and conditions at any time on our website under General Terms and Conditions. Other legal declarations can be validly transmitted in text form by email or fax.
