GmbH (MI)
for Business Transactions with Private Customers (Consumers) as of June 13th,
2014
§ 1 General
These Terms and Conditions shall only be applicable for consumers pursuant to §
13 BGB (German Civil Code).
We exclusively operate on our Terms and Conditions mentioned below which you
accept by ordering goods from the Internet or from our offers. This shall
similarly apply for online orders or orders received by fax or phone. From the
imprint you can learn our identity and our summons address.
Our offers are subject to confirmation. Illustrations, drawings, descriptions,
etc. contained in offers, pricelists and in the Internet had been compiled and
established at the best. Our offers are subject to minor changes unless they
had expressly been stated as binding offers.
§ 2 Prices
The delivery prices defined on the Internet page as end customer prices at the
time of order shall be applicable. VAT shall clearly be pointed out during the
payment procedure.
§ 3 Order
We take orders for goods from the online-shop by data transfer from the
Internet. If the goods are available, delivery shall normally take place within
24 hours. The delivery time shall always take place under reserve of correct
and timely self supply.
If the goods are momentarily not deliverable at all, the contract can be
cancelled by both parties.
In the case that a publisher stops the production of an article without MI being responsible for it, the purchaser of a subscription who had paid in advance shall only be entitled to partial repayment of an amount equivalent to the products that had not been delivered. In this case, a claim for damages against MI is excluded.
In the case of a production stop of an article, MI shall have the right to supply the purchaser a substitute product of similar content. In case of non-satisfaction, the purchaser shall have the right to return the substitute product. MI reserves the right to withdraw from this contract if the ordered goods are not made available by the own supplier despite his contractual delivery commitment. In this case MI shall inform the purchaser without delay and shall reimburse the purchase price.
§ 4 Term of Contract
Subscription starts with the next deliverable issue and shall be placed for a term of 12 months. It is automatically extended by periods of 12 months unless notice in writing had been submitted three months prior to expiration. The receipt of the notice at MI is decisive for its timeliness.
§ 5 Terms of Delivery
The forwarding charges shall be borne by the customer. The packaging charges
are included in the price. Deliveries abroad shall be charged separately.
§ 6 Returned goods without permission
Goods that are returned to mode…information without permission shall be kept in the stock for a period of four weeks. After this period the goods shall be destroyed. If the customer wishes the goods to be resent to him, the forwarding charges will be borne by the customer.
Goods that had been assembled and/or converted on demand of the customer cannot be returned or exchanged.
§ 7 Terms of Payment
The purchase price is paid by credit card during the ordering procedure.
§ 8 Right of Cancellation and Return
The customer shall be entitled to the statutory right of cancellation. The
details of his right of cancellation shall be included in the cancellation
policy. In the case of a valid cancellation, the amount invoiced shall be
reimbursed within a fortnight to the account stated by the customer.
Relating to the return of goods, we ask the customer to send them back to us in
their original packing along with a copy of the invoice marked “return”.
Herewith, we explicitly reserve the right to be compensated the value of the
goods damaged by improper treatment or by third party impact.
§ 9 Warranty / Liability / Limitation
Immediately after receipt, the customer shall examine the goods for
completeness, transport damages and apparent defects. In case of apparent
defects, we shall have a warranty obligation only if the customer informs us in
writing about the defects within four weeks after delivery of the goods. In
this case, we shall be obliged to subsequent performance, for which the
customer has to grant us a reasonable term for the subsequent performance.
At the customer’s discretion, the subsequent
performance can take place by either removing the defects or by delivering new
goods. We shall be entitled to refuse the customer’s choice if it causes
unreasonable costs. During the subsequent performance, reductions of the purchase
price or cancellation of the contract by the customer shall be excluded. After
the second unavailing trial, a subsequent improvement is considered to be
failed. The customer shall only have a right to withdraw from the contract or a
right to diminution, if the subsequent performance failed or if we completely
refused subsequent performance.
Regarding a defect, the customer can claim damages at the following conditions
only after the subsequent performance failed or after we refused subsequent
performance. This shall not affect the customer’s right to raise further claims
at the following conditions.
The customer’s warranty rights become statute-barred within two years after
delivery.
Precondition for the warranty is to prove the entitlement by means of a copy of
the invoice.
Our liability shall be limited to deliberate or grossly negligent breach of
fundamental contractual duties and shall be limited to the typical damage
predictable at the conclusion of the contract. This limitation shall not be
applicable for damages resulting from injury of life, body or health,
independent from the debt ratio, and for claims due to malicious behaviour and
for claims in accordance with the product liability law.
§ 10 Withdrawal
We shall be entitled to withdraw from contract if due to force majeure we
cannot deliver the purchase product and inform the customer immediately about
the non-availability of the goods and immediately reimburse the amount already
paid.
