1. scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) of “Paetzold Management UG (haftungsbeschränkt)” (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”), apply to all contracts that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) concludes with the Seller regarding the goods offered by the Seller in its online store. The inclusion of the customer’s own terms and conditions is contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These GTC shall apply mutatis mutandis to the purchase of vouchers if and to the extent that nothing to the contrary is expressly provided for.

1.3 A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that is predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed.

1.4 An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.

2. conclusion of contract

2.1 First, the customer places the selected goods in the shopping cart. In the subsequent step, the ordering process begins, in which all necessary data for order processing are recorded. At the end of the ordering process, a summary of the order and contract data appears. Only after confirming this order and contract data by clicking on the button that concludes the order process, the customer makes a binding offer to purchase the goods contained in the shopping cart. The customer can also submit this offer to the seller by fax, email, mail or telephone.

2.2 The presentation of the goods, in particular in the online store, does not constitute a binding offer by the seller.

2.3 If the Customer selects “direct debit” or “bank collection” as a payment method during the ordering process, the Seller may also accept the Customer’s offer by collecting the total price from the Customer’s bank account within five days, whereby the time at which the Customer’s account is debited shall be decisive in this respect. In all other respects, Clause 2.3 shall apply accordingly.

2.4 The contract text of the respective contract concluded between the Seller and the Customer shall be stored by the Seller. The text of the contract is stored on the Seller’s internal systems. The customer can view the general terms and conditions at any time on this page. The order data, the cancellation policy and the terms and conditions will be sent to the customer by email. After completion of the order, the contract text is accessible to the customer free of charge via his customer login, provided that he has opened a customer account.

2.5 All entries made are displayed before clicking the order button and can be viewed by the customer before submitting the order and corrected by pressing the back button of the browser or the usual mouse and keyboard functions. In addition, buttons for correction are available to the customer, if available, and are labeled accordingly.

2.6 The contractual language is German.

2.7 It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a correct email address for contacting and processing the order, as well as to set the filter functions so that emails concerning this order can be delivered.

3. right of withdrawal

3.1 If the customer is a consumer, he is generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 The Seller’s cancellation policy shall apply to the right of cancellation.

3.3 Consumers who do not belong to a Member State of the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract shall have no right of withdrawal.

4. prices and terms of payment

4.1 If the delivery is made to a non-EU country, further customs duties, taxes or fees may be payable by the customer to the customs or tax authorities responsible there or to credit institutions. The customer is recommended to enquire about the details with the respective institutions or authorities before placing the order.

4.2 The displayed prices are final prices including the statutory value added tax, unless otherwise agreed. If additional shipping costs are incurred, this can be found in the product description.

5. delivery and shipping costs

5.1 The delivery of goods by shipping shall be made to the delivery address specified by the customer. Deviating from this, in case of payment via PayPal, the delivery address deposited by the customer with PayPal at the time of payment shall be decisive.

5.2 If the Seller incurs additional costs due to the provision of an incorrect delivery address or an incorrect addressee or other circumstances leading to the impossibility of delivery, these shall be reimbursed by the Customer, unless he is not responsible for the incorrect information 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 prior notice of the service. Excluded from this provision are the costs of the Hinsendung, if the customer has effectively exercised his right of withdrawal. Here it remains with the legal or the regulation made by the seller.

5.3 In case of agreed self-collection, the Customer shall be informed by the Seller that the goods ordered by him are ready for collection. After receipt of this e-mail, the Customer may pick up the goods at the Seller’s registered office or at an agreed location after consultation with the Seller. In this case, no shipping costs are incurred.

5.4 Vouchers shall be provided to the Customer in the following form:

*by e-mail

6. retention of title

If the seller makes advance payment, the goods shall remain the property of the seller until the purchase price has been paid in full.

7. liability for defects

7.1 With regard to the warranty, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply unless otherwise agreed.

7.2 The Customer is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the Seller thereof. Failure to do so shall have no effect on the Customer’s statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8. indemnification in the event of infringement of third-party rights

If, in addition to the delivery of the goods, the Seller also owes the Customer the processing of the goods in accordance with certain specifications of the Customer, the Customer shall ensure that the content provided to the Seller by the Customer for this purpose does not infringe the rights of third parties. The contracting parties agree that the customer shall indemnify the seller against claims of third parties in this context, unless the customer is not responsible for the infringement. The indemnification shall also include the assumption of the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defense including all court and attorney fees in the statutory amount. In the event of a claim by a third party, the customer is obligated to provide the seller immediately, completely and truthfully with all information necessary for the examination of the claims and a defense.

11 Applicable law

11.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods.

The statutory provisions on the restriction of the choice of law and on the applicability of mandatory provisions, in particular of the state in which the customer has his habitual residence as a consumer, shall remain unaffected.

11.2 This choice of law made here shall not apply with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal for consumers if they do not belong to a Member State of the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract and their sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.

12. place of jurisdiction

If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the registered office of the seller.

If the customer has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller’s registered office shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract if this contract or claims arising from this contract can be attributed to the customer’s professional or commercial activity.

Nevertheless, in the aforementioned cases, the seller is also entitled to appeal to the court at the customer’s place of business.
