1) Scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of Gustav Reese Kehlleisten GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the "Seller") shall apply to all contracts for the delivery of goodsfor the delivery of goods, which a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online store. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 Consumer in the sense of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can be attributed predominantly neither to his commercial nor his independent professional activity.

1.3 Entrepreneur in the sense of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online store do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by the Customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the seller's online store. In doing so, after placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer may also submit the offer to the seller by telephone.

2.3 The seller can accept the offer of the customer within five days,

• by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
• by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer shall be decisive, or
• by requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed the order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.

2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the Customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the Terms of Payment without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract shall be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent his order. The Seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online store before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.

2.6 Before bindingly placing the order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 The order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct, so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) Purchase on trial

3.1 If the option "Order on approval" (purchase on trial) is selected, the contract is concluded under the condition that the customer accepts the ordered goods within a period of fourteen days by express declaration (e.g. (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail) or that the Customer does not reject the goods already delivered within a period of fourteen days by an express declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail) to the Seller. The approval period begins on the day following receipt of the goods by the customer.

3.2 During the approval period, the customer shall be entitled to inspect the goods delivered to him with regard to their condition, properties and functioning and to store them for these purposes. In doing so, he must handle the goods with care with regard to a possible obligation to return them. If the customer uses the goods in a way that is not necessary for the examination of their condition, properties and functioning, he shall be liable for any loss in value of the goods.

3.3 If the customer declares his approval of the goods within the approval period or if he does not reject the goods within the approval period, he shall be obliged to pay the seller the agreed purchase price. In this case, the Buyer shall transfer the agreed purchase price to the Seller's bank account immediately, but no later than within a period of seven days, unless otherwise agreed. The payment period shall commence on the day following the customer's declaration of approval or - in the absence of express approval - on the day following the expiry of the approval period. The timely receipt of payment on the bank account of the seller is decisive for the observance of the deadline.

3.4 If the customer declares the rejection of the goods within the approval period, he shall return the goods to the seller within a period of seven days at his own expense, unless otherwise agreed. The period for returning the goods begins on the day following the customer's declaration of rejection. The timely dispatch of the goods by the customer is sufficient to meet the deadline. In doing so, the customer must use suitable transport packaging to avoid transport damage.

3.5 If the customer culpably violates his duty of care and/or return, he is obliged to compensate the seller for the resulting damage.

3.6 The customer's statutory right of revocation shall not be affected by the aforementioned provisions.

6.2 In the case of goods delivered by freight forwarding, delivery shall be made "free curbside", i.e. to the public curbside nearest to the delivery address, unless otherwise stated in the shipping information in the Seller's online store and unless otherwise agreed.

6.3 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the Customer is responsible, the Customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the return if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. In the case of effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in this regard in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the return costs.

6.4 If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the carrier, the freight forwarder or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall in principle pass to the customer only upon delivery of the goods to the customer or a person authorized to receive the goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer, even in the case of consumers, as soon as the seller delivers the goods to the carrier, freight forwarder or other person or entity designated to carry out the shipment.the customer shall be deemed to have accepted the transfer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.

6.5 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in case of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has, with due diligence, concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier. The Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In case of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.

6.6 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

7) Retention of title

8.2 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,

• the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
• in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects shall be one year from delivery of the goods;
• in the case of used goods, the rights and claims for defects are excluded;
• the limitation period shall not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

8.3 The above-mentioned limitations of liability and shortening of the period shall not apply to

• to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses of the customer,
• in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
• for goods which have been used in accordance with their customary use for a building and have caused its defectiveness,

8.5 If the customer acts as a merchant in the sense of § 1 HGB (German Commercial Code), he shall be subject to the commercial duty of inspection and notification of defects in accordance with § 377 HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved.

8.6 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the delivery person and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply with this, this has no effect on his legal or contractual claims for defects.

9) Applicable Law

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.

10) Place of Jurisdiction

If the customer acts as a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the place of business of the seller. If the customer is domiciled outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller's place of business shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract if the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the customer's professional or commercial activity. In the above cases, however, the Seller shall in any case be entitled to apply to the court at the Customer's place of business.
