Article 3 – Applicability
- These general terms and conditions apply to any offer from the entrepreneur and to any distance agreement and orders between the entrepreneur and the consumer.
- Before the distance agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance agreement is concluded that the general terms and conditions are available for inspection at the entrepreneur’s premises and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge as soon as possible upon request.
- If the distance agreement is concluded electronically, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available electronically to the consumer before the agreement is concluded in such a way that it can be easily stored on a durable medium by the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance agreement is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be accessed electronically and that they will be sent to the consumer electronically or in another way free of charge upon request.
- In the event that specific product or service terms and conditions also apply, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly, and the consumer can always rely on the applicable provision that is most favorable to them in the case of conflicting terms and conditions.
- If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions are fully or partially invalid or are annulled, the agreement and these terms and conditions shall remain in effect, and the relevant provision will be replaced by a provision that closely approximates the original in mutual agreement.

- The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is detailed enough to enable the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the offered products and/or services. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
- All images, specifications, and data in the offer are indicative and cannot be the basis for compensation or cancellation of the agreement.
- Images of products are a truthful representation of the offered products. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the colors shown exactly match the actual colors of the products.

- The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and meets the conditions set forth therein.
- If the consumer accepts the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will promptly confirm the receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer may dissolve the agreement.
- If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure online environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures.
- Within legal frameworks, the entrepreneur may inquire whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as any facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into the distance agreement. If the entrepreneur has good grounds based on this investigation to refrain from entering into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or application, or attach special conditions to its execution.

- During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care. The product will only be unpacked or used to the extent necessary to assess whether the consumer wishes to keep the product. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all delivered accessories and – if reasonably possible – in its original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
- If the consumer wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, he is required to notify the entrepreneur within 14 days after receiving the product.

This link to fluctuations and the fact that any mentioned prices are indicative will be stated in the offer.
- Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if they result from legal regulations or provisions.

- All prices are subject to printing and typing errors. The entrepreneur accepts no liability for the consequences of printing and typing errors. In case of printing and typing errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product at the incorrect price.
Article 10 – Conformity and Warranty
- The entrepreneur ensures that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications mentioned in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and the applicable legal provisions and/or government regulations existing at the time of the conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also ensures that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
- A warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur under the agreement.
- Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 14 days of delivery. The products must be returned in their original packaging and in new condition.
- The entrepreneur’s warranty period corresponds to the manufacturer’s warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for any individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
- The warranty does not apply if:
- The consumer has repaired and/or altered the delivered products themselves or has had them repaired and/or altered by third parties;
- The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise treated carelessly or contrary to the entrepreneur’s instructions and/or the treatment indicated on the packaging;
