A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor attributable to their independent professional activity. A business is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.

The following applies to businesses: if the business uses conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions, their validity is hereby rejected; they only become part of the contract if we have expressly agreed to them.

6. Right of withdrawal

Consumers are entitled to the statutory right of withdrawal as described in the cancellation policy. Businesses are not granted a voluntary right of withdrawal.

7. Retention of title​​​​​​​

The goods remain our property until full payment has been made.
The following applies additionally to businesses: we retain title to the goods until all claims from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. You may resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business; you assign to us in advance all claims arising from this resale – regardless of any combining or mixing of the reserved goods with a new item – in the amount of the invoice amount, and we accept this assignment. You remain authorised to collect the claims, but we may also collect claims ourselves if you fail to meet your payment obligations. At your request, we will release the securities to which we are entitled to the extent that the realisable value of the securities exceeds the value of the outstanding claims by more than 10%.

8. Transport damage​​​​​​​

The following applies to consumers: if goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please complain about such defects to the delivery agent as soon as possible and contact us immediately. Failure to make a complaint or contact us has no consequences whatsoever for your statutory claims and their enforcement, in particular your warranty rights. However, you help us to be able to assert our own claims against the carrier or the transport insurance.

The following applies to businesses: the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration passes to you as soon as we have delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment.

9. Warranty and guarantees​​​​​​​

9.1 Liability for defects

Unless expressly agreed otherwise below, the statutory liability for defects applies.

The following restrictions and shortened deadlines do not apply to claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents

  • in the event of injury to life, body or health
  • in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or fraudulent intent
  • in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the contracting party may regularly rely (cardinal obligations)
  • within the scope of a guarantee promise, where agreed, or
  • where the scope of application of the Product Liability Act applies.

Restrictions applicable to businesses

With regard to businesses, only our own statements and the manufacturer's product descriptions that have been incorporated into the contract are deemed to constitute an agreement on the quality of the goods; we accept no liability for public statements by the manufacturer or other advertising claims. For businesses, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured items is one year from the transfer of risk.

The statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse under Section 445a of the German Civil Code (BGB) remain unaffected.

Provisions applicable to merchants

The duty to inspect and give notice of defects regulated in Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) applies between merchants. If you fail to give the notice regulated there, the goods are deemed approved, unless the defect was not recognisable during the inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.

9.2 Guarantees and customer service

Information on any applicable additional guarantees and their exact conditions can be found with the product and on special information pages in the online shop.

10. Liability​​​​​​​

We are always liable without limitation for claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents

  • in the event of injury to life, body or health,
  • in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty,
  • in the event of guarantee promises, where agreed, or
  • where the scope of application of the Product Liability Act applies.

In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the contracting party may regularly rely (cardinal obligations), through slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or vicarious agents, liability is limited in amount to the damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected.
Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.

11. Code of conduct​​​​​​​

We have submitted to the following codes of conduct:

12. Dispute resolution​​​​​​​

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which you can find here. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

13. Final provisions​​​​​​​

If you are a business, German law applies to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If you are a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between us and you is our place of business.
