In addition, we must not have assumed the risk of procuring the ordered goods. In the case of corresponding unavailability of the goods, we will immediately reimburse you for any payments already made.

Timely dispatch shall be sufficient to meet the deadline. This shall also apply to hidden defects discovered at a later date. In the event of a breach of the duty to inspect and notify defects, the assertion of warranty claims shall be excluded. – In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by repair or replacement (subsequent performance). In the event of subsequent improvement, we shall not be required to bear the increased costs incurred by transporting the goods to a location other than the place of performance, provided that such transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods. – If the subsequent performance fails twice, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. – The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. § 10 Liability (1) Unless otherwise stipulated below, our liability for damages shall be limited to grossly negligent and intentional conduct, irrespective of the type of breach of duty and including tortious acts.

(5) If a claim for subsequent performance is asserted, we shall fulfill such claim exclusively by way of replacement delivery. § 11 Alternative Dispute Resolution The EU Commission has provided a platform for out-of-court dispute resolution. This gives consumers the opportunity to initially resolve disputes in connection with your online order without the intervention of a court. The dispute resolution platform can be accessed via the external link http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We will endeavor to settle any disagreements arising from our contract amicably. Beyond that, we are not obligated to participate in arbitration proceedings and unfortunately cannot offer you participation in such proceedings. § 12 Final Provisions (1) As far as permissible, the exclusive, also international, place of jurisdiction for legal actions against us is 10711 Berlin.

(4) They shall only have a right of retention if their counterclaim arises from the same purchase contract. (5) Legally relevant declarations and notifications to be made by you to us after conclusion of the contract (e.g. setting of deadlines, notifications of defects, declaration of withdrawal or reduction) must be made in writing to be effective. (6) Should individual provisions of the contract with the Purchaser, including these General Terms and Conditions, be or become invalid in whole or in part, or should a loophole become apparent, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The ineffective contractual provision or the gap shall be replaced by a legally effective substitute provision which takes into account or comes as close as possible to the intention of the parties discernible from the contract and the General Terms and Conditions, the economic sense and the purpose of the omitted provision. (7) Amendments and supplements to these Terms and Conditions and/or the remaining contractual relationship must be made in writing; this shall also apply to any waiver of the written form requirement. (8) Contracts between us and you shall be governed exclusively by German law to the exclusion of the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG, “UN Sales Convention”). Mandatory provisions of the country in which you usually reside shall remain unaffected by the choice of law. (9) If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, our place of business shall be the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with contracts between us and you.
