Article 3 - Applicability

These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by a trader and to every distance contract that has been realized between an trader and a consumer.

Prior to the conclusion of a distance contract, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, the trader will indicate, before the distance contract is concluded, in what way the general terms and conditions are available for inspection at the trader’s premises and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer, as quickly as possible, at the consumer’s request.

If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, contrary to the previous paragraph, and before the distance contract is concluded, the consumer will be provided with the text of these general terms and conditions electronically, in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, then before concluding the distance contract, the trader will indicate where the general terms and conditions can be inspected electronically and that at his request they will be sent to the consumer free of charge, either electronically or in some other way.

In cases where specific product or service-related terms and conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply by analogy and the consumer can always invoke the applicable condition that is most favorable to him in the event of incompatible general terms and conditions.


Article 4 - The offer

If an offer is subject to a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly mentioned in the offer.

The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services being offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the trader makes use of illustrations, these will be a true representation of the products and/or services being offered. The trader is not bound by obvious errors or mistakes in the offer.

Every offer contains information that makes it clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are related to the acceptance of the offer.


Article 5 - The contract

The contract will be concluded, subject to that which is stipulated in paragraph 4, at the moment at which the consumer accepts the offer and the conditions thereby stipulated have been fulfilled.

If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. The consumer can dissolve the contract as long as this acceptance has not been confirmed by the trader.

If the contract is concluded electronically, the trader will take suitable technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and he will ensure a safe web environment. If the consumer is able to pay electronically, the trader will take suitable security measures.

The trader may obtain information – within statutory frameworks – about the consumer’s ability to fulfill his payment obligations, as well as about facts and factors that are important for the responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If that research gives the trader proper grounds for declining to conclude the contract, then he has a right, supported by reasons, to reject an order or application or to bind its implementation to special conditions.

The trader will send to a consumer, at the latest when delivering a product, service or digital content, the following information, in writing, or in such a way that the consumer can store it on an accessible durable medium:

    a. the office address of the trader’s business location where the consumer can lodge complaints;b. the conditions under which the consumer can make use of the right of withdrawal and the method for doing so, or a clear statement relating to preclusion from the right of withdrawal;c. information on guarantees and existing after-sales service;d. the price, including all taxes on the product, service or digital content; the costs of delivery insofar as applicable, and the method of payment, delivery or implementing the distance contract;f. if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model form for right of withdrawal.


Article

The period commences on the day after the product was received by the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, who is not the transporting party.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer has to send a clear statement (by e-mail or letter) to the trader, before the end of the withdrawal period. For this statement Appendix I: ' 'Model form for right of withdrawal' can be used. The risk and the burden of proof for exercising the right of withdrawal correctly and in time rest upon the consumer. If a consumer exercises the right to dissolve a contract, the trader is obliged to return all payment to the customer, including the cost of delivery within the EU, within 14 days from the date of receipt of the withdrawal form. For the refund the same payment method as for the original transaction will be used, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. If the consumer chose an expensive method of delivery in preference to the cheapest standard delivery, the trader does not have to refund the additional costs of the more expensive method.

The refund can be refused by trader until the returned products have been inspected after receipt, or until the customer has sent proof that the products have been returned.

The consumer returns the product with all relevant accessories, if reasonably possible in the original state and packaging. It is advisable to return the products by insured shipment.
