3.7. In addition, the customer can also simply archive the data of his order by storing the data summarized on the last page of the ordering process in the online shop by using the functions of his browser or he/she waits for the e-mail with which the seller accepts the customer’s offer.

    1. Warranty:
      In the case of defects, the provisions of the statutory warranty apply. Deviating from this:


    9.1. For entrepreneurs 


    9.1.1. An insignificant defect principally does not justify any warranty claims;


    9.1.2. The seller has the choice of the type of rectification; 


    9.1.3. The limitation period does not start again if a replacement is made within the scope of the warranty. 


    9.2. If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, he/she will be subject to the examination and complaint obligations. If these are omitted, the goods are considered as approved. 


    9.3. If the customer acts as a consumer, he/she is requested to file a complaint about delivered goods with obvious transport damage with the deliverer and to inform the supplier thereof. If the customer (consumer) does not comply with this, this has no effect on his warranty claims. 


    9.4. Complaints due to statutory warranty claims or other complaints can be made under the contact details mentioned in the imprint or through our Contact Us form on the website.


    9.5. The return and shipping costs for the replacement of defective goods within the scope of the statutory warranty shall be borne by the buyer (consumer).

     

    1. Compensation:


    All claims for damages are excluded in cases of negligence. This does not apply to personal injuries or - in the case of consumer transactions - for damage to items taken for processing. The injured party has to prove the presence of slight or gross negligence, unless it is a consumer business. The provisions on compensation contained in these General Terms and Conditions or otherwise agreed apply even if the claim for damages is asserted in addition to or instead of a warranty claim.

     

    1. Indemnification for Infringement of Third-party Rights


    If, after the content of the contract, the seller owes not only the delivery of goods but also the processing of the goods according to the customer's specifications, the customer must ensure that the content provided to the seller by him for the purpose of processing does not violate the rights of third parties, e.g., copyrights or trademark rights. The customer indemnifies the seller against claims of third parties which they may assert against the seller in connection with a breach of their rights as a result of the contractual use of the contents of the customer by the seller. The customer also assumes the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defence, including all court and legal fees in the statutory amount. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the customer is obligated to immediately, truthfully and completely provide the seller with all information necessary for the examination of the claims and a defence.

     

    1. Retention of Title


    12.1. The seller reserves the right to ownership of the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price. The buyer bears the full risk for the reserved goods, in particular for the risk of loss, loss or deterioration. 

    12.2. In the event of default of payment by the buyer, the seller is entitled to assert his rights under the retention of title. It is agreed that the assertion of the reservation of title does not constitute a withdrawal from the contract, unless the seller expressly declares the withdrawal from the contract. Any (possible) withdrawal of the seller is without prejudice to the claim for damages for non-fulfilment.

    12.3. In addition, the buyer owes the seller a reasonable fee for the use of the object of purchase. The seller must reimburse the buyer for payments already received within 14 days after the return of the object of purchase, provided that no claims under the previous paragraph exist or that the payments have been already paid by the buyer. 

    12.4. The Buyer is obligated to notify the Seller by e-mail of any litigation or execution order on the object of purchase within 7 working days of the delivery of the written pleadings. 

    12.5. If the buyer sells the delivered goods to a third party before he has paid the purchase price in full to the seller, the buyer hereby assigns the purchase price due to him from the resale against this third party to the seller as collateral for the (residual) purchase price claim. 

    12.6. The Buyer is obligated to make a book entry noting the assignment of the resale proceeds in his account books during the time of the resale at the latest.

    12.7. If the buyer sells the delivered goods for cash to a third party before paying the purchase price in full to the seller, he will accept the amount necessary for payment of the (residual) purchase price from the resale proceeds in trust for the seller. He is obliged to identify and hold this amount separately from his other assets and as trustee money of the seller. The trustee is to waive any defence or objection and the trust payment is to be paid immediately to the bank account of the seller. The waiver of a defence does not include the purchaser against the seller on the basis of the legally recognized claims due to the seller.

    12.8. Prior to payment of the purchase price for the object of purchase, the buyer is entitled to resell without simultaneous receipt of the purchase price only under the condition that he simultaneously with the resale (1) notes the second purchaser of the advance assignment of the resale proceeds in accordance with this agreement and (2) instructs them individually and in writing to pay the purchase price only to the account of the seller and (3) notes the resale in his (the buyer's) books of business.


    1. Right of Withdrawal of the Seller / Unauthorized Withdrawal of the Customer


    13.1. In the event of default of acceptance (Term 7) or other important reasons, such as late payment by the customer, the seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract, provided that he has not yet been fully satisfied by both parties. In the event of withdrawal and if the customer is at fault, the seller has the option to claim a lump-sum compensation of 15% of the gross invoice amount or compensation for the actual damage incurred. In the event of default of payment by the customer, the seller is released from all further performance and delivery obligations and is entitled to withhold any outstanding deliveries or services and to demand advance payments or seizures or to withdraw from the contract after establishing a reasonable grace period. 


    13.2. If the customer –without being entitled to do so– withdraws from the contract or if he requests the cancellation of his contract, the seller then has the choice to insist on the performance of the contract or to agree to the cancellation of the contract; in the latter case, the customer is obliged to —at the discretion of the seller– pay a lump-sum compensation of 15% of the gross invoice amount or the damage actually incurred.

     

    1. Right of Retention


    If it is not a consumer business, in the case of a justifiable complaint –except in cases of rescinded – the customer is not entitled to withhold the entire gross invoice amount, but only a reasonable part of it.

    15.7. The balance of a discount voucher is neither paid in cash nor interest. 


    15.8. The discount voucher will not be refunded if the customer returns the goods fully or partially paid for by using the discount voucher within the scope of his legal right of withdrawal. 


    15.9. The discount voucher is transferable. The seller can make a liberating effect to the respective owner who redeems the discount voucher in the online shop of the seller. This does not apply if the seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the non-entitlement, the legal incapacity or the lack of representation of the respective owner.
