1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of WEBGLOBIC TECHNOLOGIES GmbH (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own conditions is hereby rejected, unless something else has been agreed.
1.2 "These General Terms and Conditions apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise stipulated."
1.3 "Consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly not attributable to their commercial or independent professional activity."
1.4 "Entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a legally capable partnership that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction."
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers from 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 shop. In doing so, the customer, after placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, submits a legally binding contractual offer regarding the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller via email or through the online contact form.
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 (email), 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 in this respect, or
- by requesting the customer to make payment after placing their order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives are present, the contract comes into effect at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The deadline for accepting the offer begins to run on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends with the expiration 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 is considered a rejection of the offer, resulting in the customer no longer being bound by their declaration of intent.
2.4 "When selecting a payment method offered by PayPal, 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 (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, which can be viewed at" https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - under the terms for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays using a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected during the online ordering process, the seller hereby declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the moment the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.
2.5 "When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the contract text will be stored by the seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the customer in text form (e.g., email or letter) after the customer has sent their order. No further accessibility of the contract text by the seller will take place."
2.6 Before the binding submission of 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 browser's zoom function, which allows the display on the screen to be enlarged. The customer can correct their entries within the electronic ordering process as long as they use the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that completes the ordering process.
2.7 "The German language is available for the conclusion of the contract."
2.8 Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address provided for order processing is correct so that emails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller for order processing can be delivered when using SPAM filters.
3) Right of withdrawal
3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.
3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who are not a member state of the European Union at the time of the conclusion of the contract and whose sole residence and delivery address at the time of the conclusion of the contract are outside the European Union.
4) Prices and Payment Terms
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include the statutory value-added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be specified separately in the respective product description.
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases, which the seller is not responsible for and which are to be borne by the customer. This includes, for example, costs for money transfers by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or customs duties and taxes (e.g. tariffs). Such costs may also arise in relation to money transfers even if the delivery does not take place in a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
4.3 The payment option/s will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop.
4.4 "When selecting a payment method offered through the payment service 'Shopify Payments', the payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as 'Stripe'). The individual payment methods offered through Shopify Payments will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. For the processing of payments, Stripe may use additional payment services, for which special payment conditions may apply, of which the customer may be separately informed. Further information about 'Shopify Payments' can be found online at" https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de available.
5) Delivery and Shipping Conditions
5.1 "If the seller offers shipping of the goods, the delivery will take place within the delivery area specified by the seller to the delivery address provided by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. In the processing of the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive."
5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons attributable to the customer, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply to the costs of sending the goods if the customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. For the return shipping costs, the provisions made in the seller's withdrawal instruction apply in the case of an effective exercise of the right of withdrawal by the customer.
5.3 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the carrier, the freight forwarder, or any other person or institution designated for the execution of the shipment. If the customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally only passes upon delivery of the goods to the customer or an authorized recipient. Deviating from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods also passes to the customer in the case of consumers as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the carrier, the freight forwarder, or any other person or institution designated for the execution of the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the carrier, the freight forwarder, or any other person or institution designated for the execution of 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-supply. This applies only if the non-delivery is not the fault of the seller and the seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.
5.5 Vouchers will be provided to the customer as follows:
- by E-Mail
6) Retention of title
"If the seller makes an advance payment, he retains ownership of the delivered goods until the full payment of the owed purchase price is made."
7) Liability for defects (Warranty)
"Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the regulations of statutory liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:"
7.1 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,
- "does the seller have the choice of the type of subsequent performance;"
- for new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from the delivery of the goods;
- are the rights and claims due to defects excluded for used goods;
- "Does the limitation period not begin anew when a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects?"

- in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
- for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual manner of use and have caused its defects,
- for any existing obligation of the seller to provide updates for digital products, in contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.
7.3 Furthermore, it applies to entrepreneurs that 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 § 1 HGB, he is subject to the commercial inspection and complaint obligation according to § 377 HGB. If the customer fails to fulfill the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved."
7.5 "If the customer acts as a consumer, they are requested to report any delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the carrier and to inform the seller of this. If the customer fails to do so, it will have no effect on their statutory or contractual claims for defects."

- due to mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.

Material contractual obligations are those duties that the contract imposes on the seller according to its content to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place, and on whose compliance the customer can regularly rely.
8.3 Furthermore, the seller's liability is excluded.
