1) Scope of application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of the company PricoPlex GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") shall apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer or a trader (hereinafter referred to as "Client") and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services presented in the Seller's online store. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity.
1.3 An entrepreneur within the meaning 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 their commercial or independent 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 to submit a binding offer by the customer.
2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online store. 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 can also submit the offer to the seller by e-mail, fax, online contact form, post or telephone.
2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days,
by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
by requesting payment from the customer after the order has been placed.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer 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 a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the customer's order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online store before sending his order, the order data is archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.
2.5 Before submitting a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can recognize 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 magnification function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. Customers can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click on the button that completes the ordering process.
2.6 The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.7 Order processing and contact are usually carried out by 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 the 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) Right of withdrawal
3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's withdrawal policy.
4) Prices and terms of payment
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.
4.2 The customer will be informed of the payment option(s) in the seller's online store.
4.3 If advance payment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed a later due date.
5) Delivery and shipping conditions
5.1 If the seller offers to ship the goods, delivery shall be made within the delivery area specified by the seller to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive for the processing of the transaction.
5.2 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 shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. If the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation, the provision in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the return costs.
5.3 If the customer acts 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 forwarding agent, carrier or 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 not pass to the customer until the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Notwithstanding this, 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 has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.
5.4 The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event 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 concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care. The seller shall make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer shall be informed immediately and the consideration shall be reimbursed without delay.
5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
6) Retention of title
6.1 The seller retains title to the goods delivered to consumers until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.
6.2 In relation to entrepreneurs, the seller retains title to the delivered goods until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.
6.3 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the following shall continue to apply:
If the delivered goods are processed, the seller shall be deemed to be the manufacturer and shall acquire ownership of the newly created goods. If the processing is carried out together with other materials, the seller acquires ownership in the ratio of the invoice value of his goods to that of the other materials. If, in the case of the combination or mixing of the seller's goods with an item belonging to the customer, the latter is to be regarded as the main item, co-ownership of the item shall be transferred to the seller in the ratio of the invoice value of the seller's goods to the invoice value or, in the absence of such, to the market value of the main item. In such cases, the customer shall be deemed to be the custodian.
The customer may neither pledge nor assign by way of security items subject to retention of title or reservation of rights. The customer is only entitled to resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. The customer assigns to the seller in advance all resulting claims against third parties in the amount of the respective invoice value (including VAT). This assignment shall apply irrespective of whether the reserved goods have been resold without or after processing. The customer shall remain authorized to collect the claims even after the assignment. The seller's right to collect the claims himself remains unaffected. However, the seller shall not collect the claims as long as the customer meets his payment obligations to the seller, is not in default of payment and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been filed.
The customer must immediately notify the seller of any access to the goods owned or co-owned by the seller or to the assigned claims. He must immediately transfer to the seller any amounts assigned to the seller and collected by him, insofar as the seller's claim is due.
If the value of the Seller's security interests exceeds the amount of the secured claims by more than 10%, the Seller shall release a corresponding proportion of the security interests at the Customer's request.
7) Liability for defects (warranty)
Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions of statutory liability for defects shall apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:
7.1 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 is one year from delivery of the goods;
the rights and claims for defects are excluded for used goods;
the limitation period shall not recommence if a replacement delivery is made as part of the liability for defects.
7.2 The above limitations of liability and shortening of the limitation period shall not apply
to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the customer,
in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness,
for any existing obligation of the seller to provide updates for digital products, in the case of contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.
7.3 In addition, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing statutory right of recourse remain unaffected.
7.4 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of Section 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he is subject to the commercial obligation to inspect and give notice of defects in accordance with Section 377 HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved.
7.5 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is requested to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer fails to do so, this shall have no effect whatsoever on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8) Liability
The seller is liable to the customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory claims, including tortious claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:
8.1 The Seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason
in the event of intent or gross negligence,
in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, limb or health,
on the basis of a guarantee promise, unless otherwise agreed,
due to mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.
8.2 If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract, unless unlimited liability applies in accordance with the above clause. Essential contractual obligations are obligations which the contract imposes on the seller according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the customer may regularly rely.
8.3 Any further liability of the seller is excluded.
8.4 The above liability regulations also apply with regard to the liability of the seller for his vicarious agents and legal representatives.
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 insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.
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 registered office 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 is in any case entitled to appeal to the court at the customer's place of business.
11) Alternative dispute resolution
11.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts in which a consumer is involved.
11.2 The seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
