Order processing and all necessary information for contract conclusion are automated via email. Ensure your provided email address is correct and that you can receive our emails (check your spam filter).
Right of Retention and Retention of Title
You can only exercise a right of retention if it pertains to claims from the same contractual relationship.
The goods remain our property until the purchase price is fully paid.
For entrepreneurs:
- We retain ownership until all claims from the ongoing business relationship are settled. Pledging or transferring security is not allowed before ownership transfer.
- You may resell goods in the ordinary course of business, assigning claims from the resale to us up to the invoice amount.
- If goods are combined or mixed, we acquire co-ownership of the new item proportional to the invoice value of the combined goods.
- We will release securities at your request if their realizable value exceeds the secured claim by more than 10%.
Warranty
The statutory liability rights for defects apply.
As a consumer, please inspect the item upon delivery for completeness, defects, and transport damage, and report any issues promptly. Failure to do so does not affect your statutory warranty claims.
For entrepreneurs:
- Only our information and the manufacturer’s product description are considered the agreed condition of the item.
- In case of defects, we may choose to repair or replace the item. If the defect is not rectified after two attempts, you may request a price reduction or withdraw from the contract.
- The warranty period is one year from delivery date. This does not apply to damages caused by gross negligence, fraudulent concealment of defects, or items used for a building.
Choice of Law, Place of Performance, Place of Jurisdiction
USA law applies. For consumers, this applies only to the extent that it does not withdraw protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the consumer’s habitual residence.
The place of performance and jurisdiction for all services and disputes is our registered office, unless you are a consumer. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in USA or your place of residence is unknown when the action is brought.
Child Protection
We only enter into contracts with customers who have reached the legally required minimum age for goods subject to the Youth Protection Act. Age restrictions are indicated in the item descriptions.
By placing an order, you confirm you meet the legal age requirement and your provided details are correct. Ensure only authorized persons of legal age receive the delivery.
If we must conduct an age check, our logistics provider will only deliver to persons who meet the legal age requirement and may request ID verification.
