2) Conclusion of the Contract

2.1 The product descriptions in the Seller’s online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but are merely descriptions which allow the Client to submit a binding offer.

2.2 The Client may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller’s online shop. In doing so, after having placed the selected goods and/or services in the virtual basket and passed through the ordering process, and by clicking the button finalizing the order process, the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the virtual basket. The Client may also submit his offer to the Seller by telephone, fax, e-mail, post or per online contact form.

2.3 The Seller may accept the Client’s offer within five days,
– by transferring a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in written form (fax or e-mail), insofar as receipt of order confirmation by the Client is decisive, or
– by delivering ordered goods to the Client, insofar as receipt of goods by the Client is decisive, or
– by requesting the Client to pay after placing his order.

The contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives firstly occurs. Should the Seller not accept the Client’s offer within the aforementioned period of time, this shall be deemed as rejecting the offer, with the effect that the Client is no longer bound by his statement of intent.

2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “PayPal”), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full?locale.x=en_DE or, if the Client does not have a PayPal account, subject to the Terms for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full#:~:text=You%20should%20note%20that%20PayPal’s,offer%20under%20the%20user%20agreement. If the Client pays by means of a method of payment offered by PayPal which can be selected in the online order process, the Seller hereby declares the acceptance of the Client’s offer at the time when the Client clicks on the button concluding the order process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller’s online order form, the text of the contract is stored by the Seller after the contract has been concluded and transmitted to the Client in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. The Seller shall not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the Client has set up a user account in the Seller’s online shop prior to sending his order, the order data shall be stored on the Seller’s website and can be accessed by the Client free of charge via his password-protected user account by specifying the corresponding login data.

2.6 Prior to submitting a binding order via the Seller’s online order form, the Client may recognize input errors by attentively reading the information displayed on the screen. Use of the enlargement function of the browser to enlarge the display on the screen may be an effective method for better recognizing input errors.
The Client can correct all the data entered via the usual keyboard and mouse function during the electronic ordering process, until he clicks the button finalizing the ordering process.

2.7 The German and the English language are exclusively available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 Order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the e-mail address he provides for the order processing is accurate so that e-mails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. In particular, it is the Client`s responsibility, if SPAM filters are used, to ensure that all e-mails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller with the order processing can be delivered.

3) Right to Cancel

3.1 Consumers are entitled to the right to cancel.

3.2 Detailed information about the right to cancel is provided in the Seller’s instruction on cancellation.

4) Prices and Payment Conditions

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the product descriptions, prices indicated are total prices and include the statutory value-added tax. Any possible additional delivery and dispatch costs are specified separately in the respective product description.

4.2 Payment can be made using one of the methods mentioned in the Seller’s online shop.

4.3 In case of delivery to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which have to be borne by the Client. This includes, for example, transfer fees charged by banking institutes (transfer charges, exchange fees) or import duties or taxes (customs). Such additional costs regarding money transfer may also be incurred, if the Client carries out the payment from a country outside the European Union, even if delivery is not made in a country outside the European Union .

4.4 If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed upon, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have arranged a later maturity date

4.5 If the payment method “purchase on account” is selected, the purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price is to be paid within 7 (seven) days from receipt of the invoice without deduction, unless otherwise agreed. The Seller reserves the right to offer the payment method “purchase on account” only up to a certain order volume, and he may refuse this payment method if the specified order volume is exceeded. In this case, the Seller will inform the Client in his payment information displayed in the online shop of a corresponding payment restriction.

4.6 If the customer selects a payment method offered via the “Unzer” payment service provider (instant bank transfer, credit card), payment processing shall be carried out by Unzer Luxembourg S.A., 18–20 Rue Gabriel Lippmann, 5365 Munsbach, Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “Unzer”). The individual payment methods offered via Unzer shall be communicated to the customer in the seller’s online shop. For the purpose of processing payments, Unzer may use the services of third-party payment service providers, for which special payment terms may apply and to which the customer may be separately referred. Further information about “Unzer” is available online at https://www.unzer.com/de/.

4.7 If the customer selects payment by invoice or payment by instalments, processing shall be carried out by Payolution GmbH, Columbusplatz 7–8, Stiege 1 / 5th Floor, 1100 Vienna, Austria (hereinafter referred to as “payolution/Unzer”), and Bank Frick AG, Landstr. 14, 9496 Balzers, Liechtenstein (hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”). In this respect, the following shall apply:

a) No contractual relationship between the customer and payolution/Unzer or the Bank shall be established as a result. The purchase contract for the goods shall be concluded exclusively between the seller and the customer. The performance of the purchase contract shall also be governed by the agreements made between the customer and the seller. In particular, the seller remains responsible for general customer enquiries, for example regarding the goods, delivery times, shipping, returns, complaints, declarations and returns relating to withdrawal, or credit notes.

b) Use of the payolution payment methods is only permitted for customers who have reached the age of 18.

c) The seller reserves the right to offer the payolution payment method only from and up to a certain order value. If this order value is exceeded or not reached, alternative payment methods shall be available to the customer.

d) Before each payment using a payolution payment method, the seller or the Bank will check the customer’s creditworthiness. If payment using a payolution payment method is not possible, for example for reasons of creditworthiness, technical reasons, or due to the exceeding of amount limits, the customer shall have the option to select an alternative payment method.

e) The seller is entitled to assign to third parties any claims, including all ancillary rights associated therewith, which are to be paid using a payolution payment method. For the purpose of processing a purchase on account or payment by instalments, the seller therefore assigns its claim against the customer for payment of the purchase price to the Bank. The customer is hereby informed of this assignment of claims.

f) In order to have debt-discharging effect, all payments must be made exclusively to the account communicated to the buyer for this purpose by payolution/Unzer by email. The payment process shall be handled by payolution/Unzer.

g) Ownership of the delivered goods shall remain with the seller until payment has been made in full.

h) If purchase on account has been agreed, the purchase price shall become due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price must be paid without deduction within 14 (fourteen) days from receipt of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed. If the invoice is not paid within this period, the customer shall be in default even without a separate reminder, unless the customer is not responsible for the non-payment.

When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the Seller’s order processing shall be decisive.

5.2 Should the assigned transport company return the goods to the Seller, because delivery to the Client was not possible, the Client bears the costs for the unsuccessful dispatch. This shall not apply, if the Client exercises his right to cancel effectively, if the delivery cannot be made due to circumstances beyond the Client’s control, or if he has been temporarily impeded from receiving the offered service, unless the Seller has notified the Client for a reasonable time in advance about the service.

5.5 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-supply.

If the contract relates to the one-time provision of digital content, the granting of rights shall only become effective when the Client has paid the remuneration owed in full.

All claims resulting from such course of business against a third party shall herewith be assigned in advance to the Seller in the amount of the respective invoice value (including VAT). This assignment of claims shall be valid regardless of whether the reserved goods are processed prior to or after resale or not. The Client remains entitled to collect the claims even after assignment. However, the Seller shall refrain from collecting the claims as long as the Client meets his payment obligations, he is not in default, and no application has been lodged to open insolvency proceedings.
