General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic Provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as the provider (SUND Digital GmbH & Co. KG) via the website gardenflare.com. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms and conditions you may use is hereby rejected.

(2) Consumer within the meaning of the following provisions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither attributable to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. Entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a legally capable partnership who acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity when concluding a legal transaction.

§ 2 Conclusion of the Contract

(1) Subject of the contract is the sale of goods .

(2) By listing the respective product on our website, we make you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping cart system under the conditions specified in the product description. 

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping cart." You can access the "shopping cart" at any time via the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there.
After clicking the "Checkout" or "Proceed to Order" button
  (or similar designation) and after entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed to you as an order overview.

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


Before submitting the order, you have the opportunity to review the information in the order summary again, make changes (also using the "back" function of the internet browser), or cancel the order.
By submitting the order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order with costs", "pay" / "pay now" or similar designation), you legally declare your acceptance of the offer, thereby concluding the contract.
 
(4) Your inquiries for the creation of an offer are non-binding for you. We will provide you with a binding offer in text form (e.g., by email), which you can accept within 5 days (unless a different deadline is specified in the respective offer).

(5) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is carried out by e-mail, partly automated. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have provided to us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured, and in particular that it is not blocked by spam filters.

§ 3 Special agreements on offered payment methods

(1) Payment via Klarna
In cooperation with the payment service provider Klarna Bank AB (publ) (Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden; "Klarna"), we offer the following payment options. Payment is made to Klarna in each case:

(2) Payment via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout"
When selecting a payment method offered via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout", the payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg; "PayPal"). The individual payment methods via "PayPal" are displayed to you under a correspondingly labeled button on our website as well as in the online ordering process. For payment processing, "PayPal" may use additional payment services; if special payment conditions apply for this, you will be specifically informed about them. More information about "PayPal" can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full.


§ 4 Right of Retention, Retention of Title

(1) You can only exercise a right of retention insofar as it concerns claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.

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

a) We retain ownership of the goods until full settlement of all claims arising from the ongoing business relationship. Prior to the transfer of ownership of the reserved goods, pledging or security transfer is not permitted.

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

c) In the case of connection and mixing of the reserved goods, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We commit to releasing the securities due to us at your request to the extent that the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released is at our discretion.


§ 5 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights for defects 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. Failure to do so 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 considered agreed upon if you were informed about it by us before submitting the contract declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed upon between the contracting parties.

(4) Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following warranty provisions shall apply instead of the above warranty regulations:

a) Only our own specifications and the product description of the manufacturer shall be considered as the condition of the goods, but not other advertising, public endorsements, and statements of the manufacturer.

b) In case of defects, we provide warranty at our discretion through rectification or subsequent delivery. If the defect correction fails, you may demand a reduction or withdraw from the contract at your discretion. The defect correction is considered failed after an unsuccessful second attempt, unless something else results particularly from the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances. In the case of rectification, we do not have to bear the increased costs incurred by transporting the goods to a place other than the place of performance, provided that the transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

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


- damages for which we are liable due to culpable injury to life, body, or health, and for other damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the condition of the item;
- for things that have been used for a building according to their usual manner of use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory recourse claims that you have against us in connection with warranty rights.

§ 6 Choice of Law, Place of Performance, Jurisdiction

(1) German law applies. For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as it does not deprive the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favorability).

(2) Place of performance for all services from the business relationships with us as well as jurisdiction is our registered office, provided you are not a consumer but a merchant, legal entity under public law, or 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 the residence or habitual abode is not known at the time the lawsuit is filed. The right to also call upon the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.

(3) The provisions of the UN Sales Convention do not apply explicitly.
