16 Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Contract Language

1. scope

1.1. For the business relationship between Börries Liebl. Fraunhoferstr. 22, 86399 Bobingen (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”) and the customer (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) shall be governed exclusively by the following General Terms and Conditions in the version valid at the time of the order.
1.2. You can reach our customer service for questions, complaints and claims on weekdays from 10:00 to 18:00 by phone: 0177-7117806 and by e-mail: info@seifenblasenfabrik.de.
1.3. A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that can be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity (§ 13 BGB).
1.4. Deviating terms and conditions of the customer shall not be recognized unless the seller expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

2. offers and service descriptions

2.1. The presentation of the products in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to place an order. Descriptions of services in catalogs as well as on the websites of the seller do not have the character of an assurance or guarantee.
2.2. All offers are valid “while stocks last” unless otherwise noted with the products. In all other respects, errors are excepted.

3. order process and conclusion of contract

3.1. The Customer can select products from the Seller’s assortment without obligation and collect them in a so-called shopping cart by clicking the button [in den Warenkorb].
3.2 Subsequently, the customer can proceed to the completion of the order process within the shopping cart by clicking the button [Weiter zur Kasse].
3.3. By clicking the button [Kaufen] the customer makes a binding offer to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. Before sending the order, the customer can change and view the data at any time. Required information is marked with an asterisk (*).
3.4. The seller then sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail, in which the customer’s order is listed again and which the customer can print out using the “Print” function (order confirmation). The automatic acknowledgement of receipt merely documents that the seller has received the customer’s order and does not constitute acceptance of the application. The purchase contract is concluded only when the seller has shipped the ordered product within 2 days to the customer, handed over or confirmed the shipment to the customer within 2 days with a second e-mail, express order confirmation or sending the invoice.
3.5. If the seller allows payment in advance, the contract is concluded with the provision of bank details and request for payment. If the payment is not received by the seller within 10 calendar days after sending the order confirmation, the seller withdraws from the contract with the consequence that the order is invalid and the seller is not obliged to deliver. The order is then completed for the buyer and seller without further consequences. A reservation of the article in case of advance payment is therefore made for a maximum of 10 calendar days.

4. prices and shipping costs

4.1. All prices stated on the Seller’s website are inclusive of the applicable statutory value added tax.
4.2. In addition to the stated prices, the seller charges shipping costs for delivery. The shipping costs are clearly communicated to the buyer on the shipping costs page and during the ordering process.

5. delivery, availability of goods

5.1. If at the time of the Customer’s order no copies of the Product selected by the Customer are available, the Seller shall inform the Customer thereof in the order confirmation. If the product is permanently not available, the seller refrains from a declaration of acceptance. A contract is not concluded in this case.
5.2. If the product designated by the customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, the seller shall also inform the customer of this immediately in the order confirmation. In the event of a delay in delivery of more than two weeks, the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the seller is also entitled to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the seller will immediately refund any payments already made by the customer. If payment in advance has been agreed, delivery will be made after receipt of the invoice amount.

6. payment modalities

6.1. The customer can choose from the available payment methods within the framework and before completion of the ordering process.
6.2. If payment by invoice is possible, payment must be made within 7 days after receipt of the goods and the invoice. For all other methods of payment, payment must be made in advance without deduction.
6.3. If third-party providers are commissioned with payment processing, e.g. Paypal. their general terms and conditions apply.
6.4. If the due date of payment is determined according to the calendar, the customer is already in default by missing the deadline. In this case, the customer shall pay interest on arrears at a rate of 5 percentage points above the prime rate.
6.5. The customer’s obligation to pay interest on arrears does not preclude the seller from claiming further damages caused by the delay.
6.6. The customer shall only be entitled to set-off if his counterclaims have been legally established or acknowledged by the seller. The customer may only exercise a right of retention insofar as the claims result from the same contractual relationship.

7. retention of title

Until full payment, the delivered goods remain the property of the seller.

8. warranty for material defects and guarantee

8.1. The warranty is determined according to legal regulations.
8.2. A guarantee exists for the goods delivered by the seller only if it has been expressly given.

9. liability

9.1. The following exclusions and limitations of liability shall apply to the Seller’s liability for damages, without prejudice to the other statutory requirements for claims.
9.2. The Seller shall be liable without limitation insofar as the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence.
9.3. Furthermore, the Seller shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract, or for the breach of obligations, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the compliance with which the Customer regularly relies. In this case, however, the Seller shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. The Seller shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned in the preceding sentences.
9.4. The above limitations of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health, for a defect following the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the product and in the event of fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
9.5. Insofar as the liability of the Seller is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

You have to bear the regular costs of return if the delivered goods correspond to the ordered goods and if the price of the goods to be returned does not exceed an amount of 40 euros or if, in the case of a higher price of the goods, you have not yet provided the consideration or a contractually agreed partial payment at the time of revocation.
