Entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a legal partnership who, when concluding a legal transaction, is exercising their independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.

(2) As soon as the respective product is posted on our website, we are submitting a binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions specified in the item description.

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows: The goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping cart". You can use the corresponding button in the navigation bar to call up the          "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time. After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering your personal data as well as the terms of payment and shipping, all order data will then be displayed again on the order overview page. If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal / PayPal Express / PayPal Plus, Amazon Payments, Postpay, Sofortüberweisung) as a payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or you will first be directed to the website of the provider of the Immediate payment system forwarded. If you are forwarded to the respective instant payment system, make the appropriate selection or enter your data there. Finally, you will be directed back to the order overview page in our online shop. Before submitting the order, you have the option here to check all the details again, to change them (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or to cancel the purchase. By submitting the order using the "order for a fee" button, you are declaring legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.

(4) Your inquiries to prepare an offer are non-binding for you. We will make you a binding offer in text form (e.g. by email), which you can accept within 5 days.

(5) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail.

b) You can resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that accrue to you from the resale, we accept the assignment. You are further authorized to collect the claim. However, if you fail to properly meet your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) If the reserved goods are combined and mixed, we acquire joint ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request insofar as the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released is our responsibility.

§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights apply.

b) You are obliged to examine the goods immediately and with the necessary care for deviations in quality and quantity and to disclose obvious defects to us within 7 days of receipt of the goods in In text form (e.g. email), timely dispatch is sufficient to meet the deadline. This also applies to hidden defects discovered later from their discovery. In the event of a breach of the duty to examine and notify, the assertion of warranty claims is excluded.
c) In the event of defects, we guarantee, at our option, either repair or replacement. If the elimination of the defect fails, you can either request a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects is deemed to have failed after an unsuccessful second attempt, unless something else arises, in particular from the nature of the item or the defect or other circumstances. In the case of repairs, we do not have to bear the increased costs that arise from the shipment of the goods to a location other than the place of performance, provided that the shipment does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.
d) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortened warranty period does not apply to culpably caused damage attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and grossly negligent or intentional damage or malice, as well as recourse claims according to §§ 478, 479 BGB.

§ 5 liability
(1) We are fully liable for damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health. Furthermore, we are liable without limitation in all cases of willful intent and gross negligence, in the case of fraudulent concealment of a defect, when assuming the guarantee for the quality of the object of purchase and in all other cases regulated by law.
(2) Liability for defects within the scope of the statutory warranty is based on the corresponding regulation in our customer information (Part II) and General Terms and Conditions (Part I).
(3) Insofar as essential contractual obligations are concerned, our liability in the case of slight negligence is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Essential contractual obligations are essential obligations that arise from the nature of the contract and the violation of which would jeopardize the achievement of the purpose of the contract as well as obligations that the contract imposes on us according to its content to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which make the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and compliance with which you can regularly rely.
(4) If minor contractual obligations are breached, liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty is excluded.
(5) According to the current state of technology, data communication via the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be error-free and / or available at all times. In this respect, we are not liable for the constant or uninterrupted availability of the website and the services offered there.

(2) The place of fulfillment for all services from the business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, provided you are not a consumer but a merchant, legal entity under public law or public law special fund. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if your place of residence or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought.
