The time limit begins after receipt of this instruction in text form, however not before receipt of the goods by the recipient (in case of recurring deliveries of similar goods not before receipt of the first partial delivery) and also not before the fulfilment of our obligations under Article 246 §2 in connection with §1 paragraph 1 and 2 draft law and our obligations according to §312e Section 1 Clause 1 German Civil Code in conjunction with Article 246 §3 German Civil Code.

  1. LIABILITY

The Seller does not exclude liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of its employees or agents.

The Seller is not responsible for losses and damage that the Customer might suffer which are: – not caused by the Seller’s breach of these General Terms and Conditions; – a side effect of the main loss or damage and which are not reasonably foreseeable by you and us when the Customer begins to use the Website; a result of the Seller’s failure to provide the Website (or any part of it) or withdrawal of products from the Website or a result of our refusal to accept an order for any reason; – caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, virus or other technologically harmful material that may affect your computer equipment, programs, data or other material due to the Customer’s use of the Website (including your downloading any content from the Website or any website linked to it); – failure by the Seller to meet any of its obligations where it is prevented from doing so by events beyond its control (including, but not limited to, fire, flood, storm, riot, civil disturbance, war, nuclear accident, terrorist activity and acts of God).

The Seller’s total liability to the Customer for any loss or damage arising in connection to this Agreement will be limited to 150% of the value of products purchased by the Customer.

The aforementioned limitations on liability are also valid for the legal representative and agents of the Seller.

The aforementioned limitations on liability do not apply where the Seller has fraudulently concealed a defect or has guaranteed that the goods are of a certain nature.

 

  1. APPLICABLE LAW, COURT OF JURISDICTION

The applicable law for all legal transactions or other legal relationships with us is the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and any other intergovernmental conventions, even if they have been subsumed into German law, shall not apply. In the case of contracts, in which no professional or commercial activity can be attributed to the beneficiary (contract with a consumer), this choice of law shall apply only insofar as protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the State, in which the consumer normally resides, has not been revoked.

 

In commercial transactions with traders and with legal entities under public law our registered office shall be agreed as the Court of jurisdiction for all disputes concerning these Terms and Conditions of Business and individual contracts concluded within their scope, including legal actions brought concerning bills of exchange and cheques. In this case we shall also be entitled to bring an action at the business domicile of the customer.

 

  1. AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

We shall be entitled to amend these General Terms and Conditions of Business unilaterally insofar as they have been introduced into the contractual relationship with the customer, insofar as this is required to remove subsequently emergent disruptions of the equivalence mandate or to adapt to a changing legal or technical environment We shall notify customers of any amendments by sending them the full contents of the amended provisions. The amendment shall become a component of the contract, unless, within 6 weeks of the receipt of the notification of amendment, the customer communicates to us in written or textual form his objection to the inclusion of the amendment into the contractual relationship.

 

  1. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE

In the event that for reasons other than the provisions governing GTS in §§ 305 -310 German Civil Code a present or future provision of the contract is or becomes void/nugatory in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this contract, unless, having regard to the subsequent provision, the performance of the contract would constitute unreasonable hardship for either party. The same shall apply, where an omission, which needs to be supplemented, becomes apparent after the contract has been concluded. The parties shall replace the void/nugatory/unfeasible provision or omission to be supplemented with a valid provision, which in its legal and commercial content comes closest in law to the void/nugatory/unfeasible provision and the overall purpose of the contract.
