ARTICLE 3 - SCOPE OF T&C
- These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the trader and to every distance contract concluded between the trader and the consumer.
- Before the distance contract is entered into, the text of these general terms and conditions must be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, the trader will indicate in which way the general terms and conditions can be consulted at the trader’s location and that they will be sent as soon as possible free of charge upon the request of the consumer before the distance contract is entered into.
- If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, contrary to the previous paragraph, and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer by electronic means in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, prior to the conclusion of the distance selling agreement, it will be indicated where the general terms and conditions can be viewed electronically and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge, at his/her request, either electronically or in some other way.
- In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply by analogy and, in the event of conflicting conditions, the consumer can always invoke the applicable provision that is most favourable to him/her.
ARTICLE 4 - OFFERS
- If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to special conditions, this will be stated explicitly in the offer description.
- The offer must include a full and accurate description of the offered products, digital content and/or services. The description must be sufficiently detailed to ensure the consumer can make an appropriate assessment of the offer. If the trader uses images, they must be a faithful representation of the offered products, services and/or digital content. Any apparent mistakes or errors in the offer will not commit the trader.
- Every offer must contain the information required that will ensure that it is clear to the consumer which rights and obligations he or she has with regard to accepting the offer.
ARTICLE 5 - AGREEMENTS
- Notwithstanding the provisions under paragraph 4, the contract is concluded the moment the consumer accepts the offer and complies with the conditions attached to it.
- If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader immediately sends an electronic acknowledgement of receipt of the acceptance of the offer. As long as the trader has not acknowledged receipt of this acceptance, the consumer is entitled to cancel the contract.
- If the contract is concluded electronically, the trader takes all appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the electronic data transfer and ensures a safe web environment. If the consumer is offered the possibility to pay electronically, the trader takes adequate measures to ensure safe electronic payment.
- The trader may, within legal frameworks, obtain information about whether the consumer can meet his or her payment obligations as well as all those facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into a distance contract. If the trader should have appropriate grounds not to enter into the contract based on this investigation, the trader will be justified to refuse an order or request while providing arguments or to link special conditions with regard to the execution.
- The trader must at least send the following information in writing or in such a way that it can be stored on a durable data carrier by the consumer in an applicable manner when the product, service or digital content is delivered to the consumer:
a. the geographical address of the place of business of the trader to which the consumer may address any complaint;
b. the conditions and procedures for exercising the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement that the right of withdrawal is excluded;
c. warranty and after-sales service information;
d. the price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content, the delivery costs and the payment insofar as they may apply and the delivery and distance contract execution method;
e. the requirements to cancel the contract if the contract has a duration of more than one year or is for an indefinite period of time;
f. if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model form for withdrawing. - In case of a continuing transaction, the provision of the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.
ARTICLE 6 - RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL
With regard to products:
- The consumer may terminate a contract with regard to the purchase of a product during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without having to specify reasons. The trader may ask for the reason for the withdrawal, but the consumer is under no obligation to specify his or her reason(s).
- The cooling-off period specified in paragraph 1 shall start on the day after the consumer or a third person appointed by the consumer in advance who is not the shipper has received the product or:
a. If the consumer has ordered multiple products with regard to one and the same order: the day on which the consumer or a third party appointed by him or her has received the last product. The trader may refuse an order with multiple products with a different delivery date provided that he or she has informed the consumer about this clearly before the order process.
b. When the delivery of a product consists of different shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer or a third party appointed by him or her has received the last shipment or part.
c. With regard to contracts for the regular delivery of products during a specific period: the day on which the consumer or the third party who he or she has appointed has received the first product. - With regard to services and digital content that are not delivered on a material carrier: The consumer may terminate a contract for services or for delivery of digital content that has been supplied on a material carrier during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without specifying reason(s). The trader may ask the consumer for the reason for the withdrawal, but the consumer may decide not to specify his or her reason(s).
- The cooling-off period specified in paragraph 3 will start on the day that follows after the contract is entered into. Extended cooling-off period for products, services and digital content that has not been delivered on a material carrier when notifying about the right of withdrawal:

- If the trader has issued the information as referred to in the previous paragraph to the consumer within twelve months after the effective date of the original cooling-off period, the cooling-off period will elapse 14 days after the day on which the consumer has received this information.
ARTICLE 7 - OBLIGATIONS OF THE CONSUMER DURING THE COOLING-OFF PERIOD
- The consumer must handle the product and the packaging with due care and attention during the cooling-off period. He or she must only unpack or use the product to the degree that is required to determine the nature, characteristics and operation of the product. The basic principle within this context is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he or she would be allowed to do in a shop.
- Only the consumer is liable for value reduction of the product that is the result of the method of handling the product that is more extensive than allowed based on paragraph 1.
- The consumer is not liable for value reduction of the product if the trader has not issued to the consumer all statutory mandatory information about the right of withdrawal before or when entering into the contract.
ARTICLE 8 - EXERCISING THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL BY THE CONSUMER AND THE COSTS THEREOF
- If the consumer wants to make use of his or her right of withdrawal, he or she must notify this within the cooling-off period by using the model form for withdrawal or in another unambiguous way to the trader.
- The consumer must return the product as soon as possible but within 14 days after the day after the notification as referred to in paragraph 1 has been made or he or she must hand it over to the trader (or an authorised party thereof). This is not required when the trader has offered to pick up the product. The consumer will, in any case, have been deemed to have observed the return period when he or she returns the product before the cooling-off period has elapsed.
- The consumer must return the product with all the delivered accessories in its/their original packaging if reasonably possible and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions of the trader.
- The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercising of the right of withdrawal are vested on the consumer.
- The consumer must bear the direct costs of the return of the product. If the trader has not notified that the consumer must bear these costs or if the trader indicates that he or she will bear the costs, the consumer does not have to bear the costs.
- If the consumer withdraws after expressly having requested that the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity that was not ready before the sale be made to a limited volume or in a specific quantity must start during the cooling-off period, the consumer shall owe the trader an amount that is proportional to that part of the obligation that has been complied with by the trader at the time of withdrawal, when compared with the full compliance with the obligation.
- The consumer will not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity that was not made ready before the sale in a limited volume or quantity or the supply of district heating if:
a. The trader does not issue to the consumer the statutory mandatory information about the right of withdrawal, the cost payment with regard to withdrawal or model form for withdrawal; or
b. The consumer has not expressly requested during the cooling-off period to have the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating. - The consumer will not bear the costs for the full or partial supply of the digital content not supplied on a material carrier if:
a. The consumer has not expressly agreed with the commencement of the compliance of the contract before the end of the cooling-off period prior to the delivery thereof;
b. The consumer has not recognise that he or she will lose his or her right of withdrawal when he or she gives his or her consent; or
c. The trader did not confirm the consumer's statement. - If the consumer uses his or her right of withdrawal, all additional contracts will be terminated by operation of law.
ARTICLE 9 - OBLIGATIONS OF THE TRADER IN THE EVENT OF WITHDRAWAL
- If the trader makes it possible for the consumer to send his notification of withdrawal electronically, he shall send an acknowledgement of receipt of this notification without delay.
- The trader must pay all payments of the consumer including any delivery costs that the trader has charged for the returned product immediately and certainly within 14 days after the day on which the consumer notifies the withdrawal. Unless the trader offers to pick up the product, he or she may wait with the reimbursement until he or she has received the product or until the consumer proves that he or she has returned the product depending on the time that occurs first.
- The trader must use the same payment method for the reimbursement that the consumer used unless the consumer agrees to another method. The reimbursement must not incur any costs for the consumer.
- If the consumer has chosen for a more expensive delivery method than the cheapest standard delivery fee, the trader does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.

- Contracts concluded during a public auction. A public auction is a method of sale whereby products, digital content and/or services are offered by the trader to the consumer who attends or is given the opportunity to attend the auction in person, under the direction of an auctioneer, and whereby the successful bidder is bound to purchase the products, digital content and/or services;
