1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions of Business (hereinafter referred to as « GTC ») of Hagen Puls, trading under the name of « mariblum Hagen Puls » (hereinafter referred to as « seller »), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods, which a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as « customer ») concludes with the seller with regard to the goods presented by the seller in his online shop. Herewith the inclusion of the customer’s own terms and conditions is contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly regulated otherwise.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be predominantly attributed to his commercial or independent professional activity. Entrepreneur in the sense of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.

 

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller’s online shop are not binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to provide a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the seller’s online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through 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 concluding the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by e-mail.

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 (fax or e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or

– by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or

– by requesting the customer to pay after placing his order.

If there are several of the aforementioned alternatives, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins 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 is considered as 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 referred to as « PayPal »), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available 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, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a method of payment offered by PayPal which can be selected in the online order process, the seller already now declares the acceptance of the customer’s offer at the time when the customer clicks the button which concludes the order process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller’s online order form, the text of the contract will be saved by the Seller after conclusion of the contract and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) once the Customer’s order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller’s online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller’s website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.

2.6 Before bindingly placing an 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 enlargement function of the browser, which enlarges the display on the screen. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7 The German and English languages can be used to conclude the contract.

2.8 The order processing and contact are usually carried out by 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.
