(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed primarily to their commercial or independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who or which, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in exercise of his or its independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Formation of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods .

After clicking on the "Checkout" or "Continue to order" button
  (or similar) and entering your personal details as well as the payment and shipping conditions, you will then be shown the order details as an order overview.

If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort, giropay) as a payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online store or redirected to the website of the instant payment system provider.
If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, make the appropriate selection or enter your details there. Finally, the order details will be displayed as an order overview on the website of the instant payment system provider or after you have been redirected back to our online store.


Before submitting your order, you have the option of checking the details again in the order overview, changing them (also using the "back" function of the Internet browser) or canceling the order.
By sending the order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order with obligation to pay", "pay" / "pay now" or similar), you declare legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.

(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following also applies:

a) We reserve title to the goods until all claims arising from the current business relationship have been settled in full. Prior to the transfer of ownership of the reserved goods, pledging or transfer by way of security is not permitted.

b) You can resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that accrue to you from the resale, and we accept the assignment. You are further authorized to collect the claim. However, if you do not properly meet your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) If the goods subject to retention of title are combined and mixed, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request to the extent that the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We shall be responsible for selecting the securities to be released.


§ 5 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights apply.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to check the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. If you fail to do so, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to have been agreed if you were informed of the deviation by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.

(4) If you are an entrepreneur, the following applies in deviation from the above warranty provisions:

a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description are deemed to be agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we provide a warranty by repair or replacement, at our discretion. If the rectification of defects fails, you can choose to demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after the second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be required to bear the increased costs incurred by moving the goods to a location other than the place of performance, provided that the move does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortened period does not apply:


- for culpably caused damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- we are not liable for defects if we have fraudulently concealed the defect or provided a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- we also offer a warranty for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the event of legal recourse claims that you have against us in connection with defect rights.

§ 6 Choice of law, place of fulfillment, place of jurisdiction

(1) German law applies. In the case of consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country of the consumer's habitual residence is not withdrawn (principle of favorability).

(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the business relationship with us and the place of jurisdiction is our registered office if you are not a consumer but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if your place of residence or habitual abode is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another legal place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.

(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods expressly do not apply.
