By placing the order, the customer acknowledges the pre-contractual information for consumers and acknowledges these GTC as the sole authoritative basis for the legal relationship with us.

(4) In the case of goods ordered electronically (e.g. via the online shop), we will confirm receipt of the order to the customer immediately by sending an email to the address provided by the customer specified on the order. However, our confirmation of receipt does not constitute acceptance of the customer's order. It only serves to inform the customer that we have received the order. The declaration of acceptance of the customer's contractual offer is made by the delivery of the goods or by an express declaration of acceptance.

(5) We are entitled to accept or reject the contractual offer contained in the customer's order within 30 days of receipt of the order.

§ 3 Prices, Payment

(1) Our prices are quoted ex works, plus packaging costs, unless expressly agreed otherwise. The shipping costs depend on the weight of the delivery and the country of destination.

§ 5 Delivery

(1) Delivery presupposes the timely and proper fulfilment of the purchaser's obligations. The objection of a non-fulfilled contract remains reserved.

(2) In the event of default of acceptance or other culpable breach of duties to cooperate on the part of the purchaser, we shall be entitled to compensation for the resulting damage, including any additional expenses. We reserve the right to assert further claims.

§ 6 Transfer of Risk, Shipment

If the goods are dispatched at the request of the purchaser, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods shall pass to the purchaser at the time of dispatch.

(2) The purchaser shall treat the goods with care, insure them appropriately and, if necessary, maintain them.

(3) Insofar as the purchase price has not been paid in full, the purchaser must inform us immediately in writing if the goods are encumbered with rights of third parties or are subject to other interventions by third parties.

(4) The purchaser is entitled to resell the goods subject to retention of title during the ordinary course of business. In this case, however, the purchaser hereby assigns to us all claims arising from such resale, regardless of whether this takes place before or after any processing of the goods delivered under retention of title. Irrespective of our authority to collect the claim ourselves, the purchaser remains authorised to collect the claim, even after the assignment. In this context, we undertake not to collect the claim as long as and to the extent that the purchaser meets his payment obligations, no application for the opening of insolvency or similar proceedings have been filed and no suspension of payments exists.

(2) In the case of entrepreneurs, warranty claims must be asserted within 12 months of the transfer of risk.

(3) In the event of defects in the goods, the purchaser has the right to subsequent performance in the form of rectification of the defect or delivery of a defect-free item. If the subsequent performance fails, the purchaser is entitled to reduce the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract.
