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 displayed by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 For contracts for the delivery of vouchers, these GTC shall apply accordingly, unless otherwise specified.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed.
1.4 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership that acts in the exercise of its commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.
2) Conclusion of the contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve to enable the Customer to submit a binding offer.
2.2 The Customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing 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 or via 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 (e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive, or
- delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
- requesting the Customer to pay after placing his order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins to run on the day after the Customer sends the offer and ends with the expiry 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 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the payment will be processed 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, viewable at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the Customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the conditions for payments without a PayPal account, viewable at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the Customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the Seller already declares the acceptance of the Customer's offer at the time the Customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the contract text will be saved by the Seller after the contract is concluded and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail or letter) after the order has been sent. The Seller will not make the contract text accessible beyond this.
2.6 Before placing a binding 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 magnification function, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The Customer can correct his entries within the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes 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 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 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 with order processing can be delivered.
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 citizens of a member state of the European Union at the time of concluding the contract and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of concluding the contract.
4) Prices and payment conditions
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 stated separately in the respective product description.
4.2 In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may arise in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs can also arise in relation to the transfer of money if the delivery does not take place to 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 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Shopify Payments" is selected, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe"). The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments will be communicated to the customer in the Seller's online shop. Stripe may use other payment services for payment processing, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be separately informed. Further information on "Shopify Payments" is available on the Internet at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de.
5) Delivery and shipping conditions
5.1 If the Seller offers shipping of the goods, delivery will 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 to the costs of shipping if the Customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. For the return costs, the provision in the Seller's cancellation policy applies if the Customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal.
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 forwarder, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. If the Customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally only passes with the handover of the goods to the Customer or a person authorised to receive them. 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 forwarder, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has commissioned the forwarder, 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 only applies if the non-delivery is not the fault of the Seller and the Seller has concluded a concrete covering transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.
5.5 Vouchers are provided to the Customer as follows:
- by e-mail
6) Retention of title
If the Seller performs in advance, he retains title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.
7) Liability for defects (warranty)
Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions 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,
- the Seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
- the limitation period for defects for new goods is one year from delivery of the goods;
- rights and claims due to defects are excluded for used goods;
- the limitation period does not recommence if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.
7.2 The limitations of liability and shortening of deadlines regulated above do not apply
- for the Customer's claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses,
- 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 use and have caused its defectiveness,
- 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, 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 HGB, he is subject to the commercial duty to inspect and give notice of defects in accordance with Section 377 HGB. If the Customer fails to comply with the duties of notification regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved.
7.5 If the Customer acts as a consumer, he is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the Seller thereof. If the Customer fails to do so, this has no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8) Liability
The Seller is liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory, also tortious, claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:
8.1 The Seller is liable without restriction for any legal reason
- in case of intent or gross negligence,
- in case of intentional or negligent injury to life, body or health,
- due to a guarantee promise, unless otherwise regulated in this regard,
- due to mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.
8.2 If the Seller negligently violates a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to the contract-typical, foreseeable damage, unless unlimited liability exists according to the preceding paragraph. Material contractual obligations are obligations that the contract imposes on the Seller according to its content 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 whose observance the Customer can regularly rely.
8.3 Otherwise, liability on the part of the Seller is excluded.
8.4 The above liability regulations also apply with regard to the Seller's liability for his vicarious agents and legal representatives.
9) Redemption of promotional vouchers
9.1 Vouchers issued free of charge by the Seller as part of promotional campaigns with a specific validity period and which cannot be purchased by the Customer (hereinafter "promotional vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop and only within the specified period.
9.2 Individual products may be excluded from the voucher promotion, provided that a corresponding restriction results from the content of the promotional voucher.
9.3 Promotional vouchers can only be redeemed before the ordering process is completed. Subsequent offsetting is not possible.
9.4 Only one promotional voucher can be redeemed per order.
9.5 The value of the goods must at least correspond to the amount of the promotional voucher. Any remaining credit will not be refunded by the Seller.
9.6 If the value of the promotional voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the Seller can be chosen to settle the difference.
9.7 The credit of a promotional voucher is neither paid out in cash nor interest-bearing.
9.8 The promotional voucher will not be refunded if the Customer returns goods paid for entirely or partially with the promotional voucher within the scope of his statutory right of withdrawal.
9.9 The promotional voucher is transferable. The Seller can make payment with discharging effect to the respective holder who redeems the promotional voucher in the Seller's online shop. This does not apply if the Seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the lack of authorisation, legal incapacity or lack of power of representation of the respective holder.
10) Redemption of gift vouchers
10.1 Vouchers that can be purchased via the Seller's online shop (hereinafter "gift vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop, unless otherwise stated on the voucher.
10.2 Gift vouchers and remaining credit from gift vouchers can be redeemed until the end of the third year following the year of purchase of the voucher. Remaining credit will be credited to the Customer until the expiry date.
10.3 Gift vouchers can only be redeemed before the ordering process is completed. Subsequent offsetting is not possible.
10.4 Several gift vouchers can also be redeemed for one order.
10.5 Gift vouchers can only be used for the purchase of goods and not for the purchase of further gift vouchers.
10.6 If the value of the gift voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the Seller can be chosen to settle the difference.
10.7 The credit of a gift voucher is neither paid out in cash nor interest-bearing.
10.8 The gift voucher is transferable. The Seller can make payment with discharging effect to the respective holder who redeems the gift voucher in the Seller's online shop. This does not apply if the Seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the lack of authorisation, legal incapacity or lack of power of representation of the respective holder.
11) Applicable law
11.1 All legal relationships between the parties are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws on the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
11.2 Furthermore, this choice of law does not apply with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal for consumers who are not citizens of a member state of the European Union at the time of concluding the contract and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of concluding the contract.
12) Jurisdiction
If the Customer acts as a merchant, legal entity under public law or 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 is the Seller's registered office. If the Customer has his registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller's registered office is 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, the Seller is, however, in any case entitled to appeal to the court at the Customer's registered office.
13) Alternative dispute resolution
13.1 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 out-of-court resolution of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts involving a consumer.
13.2 The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
