7. transport damage

For consumers:
If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please complain about such errors to the deliverer as soon as possible and contact us immediately. Failure to make a complaint or contact us has no consequences for your statutory claims and their enforcement, in particular your warranty rights. However, they help us to assert our own claims against the carrier or transport insurance.

For entrepreneurs:
The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration shall pass to you as soon as we have delivered the goods to the forwarder, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. Among merchants, the duty to examine and give notice of defects regulated in § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) applies. If you fail to make the notification stipulated there, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not identifiable during the inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.

7. Warranties and Guarantees

Unless expressly agreed otherwise below, the statutory liability for defects law shall apply.
The following applies to the purchase of used goods by consumers: if the defect occurs after one year from delivery of the goods, the claims for defects are excluded. Defects that occur within one year of delivery of the goods may be asserted within the statutory limitation period of two years from delivery of the goods.
For entrepreneurs, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured goods is one year from the transfer of risk. The sale of used goods is subject to the exclusion of any warranty. The statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 445a BGB remain unaffected.
Only our own information and the manufacturer's product descriptions, which have been included in the contract, shall be deemed to be an agreement with entrepreneurs regarding the quality of the goods; we accept no liability for public statements made by the manufacturer or other advertising statements.
If the delivered item is defective, we shall initially provide a warranty to entrepreneurs at our discretion by remedying the defect (rectification) or by delivering a defect-free item (replacement delivery).
The above restrictions and reduction of time limits do not apply to claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents.

  • in the event of injury to life, limb or health
  • in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or fraudulent intent
  • breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations)
  • within the scope of a guarantee promise, if agreed
  • insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act has been opened up.

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

8. Warranties and Guarantees

Unless expressly agreed otherwise below, the statutory warranty rights apply.

For consumers, the limitation period for warranty claims for used items is one year from date of delivery.

For business customers, the statute of limitations is one year after the transfer of risk; the statute of limitations for the right of recourse pursuant to § 478 of the German Civil Code remains unaffected.

With regard to business customers, only our own data and the product description of the manufacturer which have been included in the contract shall apply as an agreement on the product description; we assume no liability for public statements by the manufacturer or other advertising messages.

If the delivered goods are defective, we will compensate our business customers at our discretion by either curing the defect (rectification) or by providing goods that are free from defects (substitute delivery).

These restrictions and time limits do not apply to claims due to damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents for loss of life, limb or health

  • in the case of negligence or wilful misconduct as well as malice
  • in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or fraudulent intent
  • For breach of contractual obligations, for which the fulfilment of due performance of the Contract would not be possible and upon which the contracting partner usually relies (cardinal obligations)
  • within the framework of any promises of guarantee, if agreed
  • insofar as the scope of the Product Liability Law is introduced.

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

9. liability

For claims due to damages caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, we are always liable without limitation.

  • in the event of injury to life, limb or health,
  • in case of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty,
  • in the case of guarantee promises, if agreed, or
  • - insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act has been opened up.

In the event of breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely, (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, the 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. In all other respects, claims for damages are excluded.

11. settlement of disputes

The european commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS) which is accessible at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not obliged nor willing to participate in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

12. Protection of minors

If your order includes goods whose sale is subject to age restrictions, we will ensure that the customer has reached the required minimum age by using a reliable procedure involving a personal identity and age check. The deliverer only hands over the goods after the age check has been carried out and only to the orderer personally.

13. concluding provisions

If you are an entrepreneur, 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.
