1.4 A  consumer within the meaning of these terms and conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur in the sense of these terms and conditions is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in their commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of the contract

2.1  The product descriptions contained in the online shop of the seller do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.

2.2  The customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated in the seller’s online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer with regard to the goods in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.3  The seller can accept the customer’s offer within five days,

  • by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby the customer’s receipt of the order confirmation is decisive, or
  • by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
  • by asking the customer to pay after placing his order.

If there are several of the aforementioned alternatives, the contract is concluded at the time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer’s offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer, with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 If the payment method „PayPal Express“ is selected, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: „PayPal“), subject to PayPal – Terms of use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if the customer does not have a PayPal account – under the conditions for payments without a PayPal account, can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer selects „PayPal Express“ as the payment method during the online ordering process, he also issues a payment order to PayPal by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. In this case, the seller already declares the acceptance of the customer’s offer at the time

2.7  Before the binding submission of the order via the seller’s online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the representation on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

The advance information about the collection of the SEPA direct debit will be sent to you at least one day before the due date by email to the email address you provided during the ordering process. If the current account does not have sufficient funds, the bank holding the account has no obligation to redeem it. Partial redemption will not be made in the direct debit procedure. The payment method purchase by direct debit does not exist for all offers and requires, among other things, a successful credit check by Billpay and a current account in Germany. If the customer is allowed to purchase by direct debit for certain offers after checking the creditworthiness, the payment is processed in cooperation with Billpay, to whom the seller assigns his payment claim. In this case, the customer can only pay Billpay with a debt-discharging effect. Even when buying by direct debit via Billpay, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries (e.g. about goods, delivery time, dispatch), returns, complaints, declarations of revocation and returns or credits. The general terms and conditions of Billpay apply, which can be accessed via the link below:
