A. General terms and conditions of business

1) Scope

1.1 These general terms and conditions of business of Normfest GmbH (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts that a consumer or an entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") enters into with the Seller regarding the goods and/or services presented by the Seller in its online shop. We hereby object to the incorporation of the Customer's own conditions unless provisions to the contrary are agreed upon.


1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these general terms and conditions of business is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that is neither attributable to their commercial nor self-employed professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these general terms and conditions of business is any natural or legal person or a legally viable partnership upon entering into a legal transaction acting by way of performing their independent or occupational or commercial activity.

 

2) Conclusion of a contract

2.1 The product descriptions presented in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but rather are intended for the customer with a view to make a binding offer.


2.2 Customers can make an offer via the online order form integrated in the Seller's online shop.  In that respect, after entering his personal data by clicking on the conclusive button, the Customer makes a legally binding contractual offer in relation to the goods and/or services contained in the shopping basket. Furthermore, the Customer can also make the Seller an offer by post, e-mail, facsimile or by telephone.

 

2.3 The Seller may accept the Customer's offer within two days,

- by forwarding to the Customer a written confirmation of order or a confirmation of order in text form (facsimile or e-mail), whereby insofar receipt of the confirmation of order by the customer is decisive, or

 

- by supplying the Customer with the ordered goods, whereby insofar receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or

 

- by requesting payment from the Customer after the Customer has placed an order.

 

If several of the above-mentioned options apply, the contract shall be brought about at the time at which one of the above-mentioned options first occurs. If the Seller fails to accept the Customer's offer within the above-mentioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer and shall give rise to the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.


2.4 If the Customer selects "Direct debit" or "Automatic debit transfer" as a payment method as part of the online order process, the Seller may also accept the Customer's offer by collecting the total price within two days from the Customer's bank account, whereby the time at which the Customer's account is debited is, insofar, decisive. In other respects, sub-section 2.3 applies accordingly.


2.5 The period for accepting an offer shall commence on the day after Customer send the offer, and shall end upon expiry of the day after next that follows sending the offer.


2.6 Normally, orders are processed and contact is established by e-mail and orders are processed automatically.  The Customer is to ensure that the e-mail address he provides for processing the order is accurate such that the e-mails sent by the Seller can be received at such an address. The customer is to ensure, in particular in the case of using spam filters, that all e-mails sent by the Seller, or by third parties commissioned by the Seller with order processing, can be delivered.

 

3) Return shipping costs in the case of exercising right of cancellation

If the Customer has right of cancellation, in the case of exercising this right of cancellation the Customer shall be charged the normal cost of returning goods if the price of the item to be returned does not exceed an amount of  € 40 or if, in the case of a higher item price, the customer has not yet provided counter-performance or a down payment at the time of cancelling the order unless the delivered goods do not correspond with the ordered goods.   In all other cases the returns costs shall be borne by the Seller.

 

4) Prices and payment conditions

4.1 The Seller's stated prices are final prices and contain the statutory VAT. Where applicable, additional delivery and shipping costs shall be stated separately in the respective product description.

4.3 If advance payment is agreed upon, payment shall fall due immediately after entering into the contract.

 

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 Normally, goods shall be delivered via the shipping route and to the delivery address stated by the Customer.  The delivery address stated in the Seller's order processing are decisive for processing the transaction.


5.2 If the transport company sends the delivered goods back to the Seller because the goods could not be delivered to the Customer, the cost of shipping the goods in vain shall be borne by the Customer. This does not apply if the Customer exercises his cancellation right by way of rejecting acceptance, if the circumstance that led to the impossibility of delivering the goods was not the Customer's responsibility or if the Customer was temporarily unable to accept the offered service unless the Seller had given the Customer reasonable prior notice of the service.


5.3 In the case of collection by the Customer, the Seller shall initially inform the Customer by e-mail that the goods he has ordered are ready for collection. Following receipt of such an e-mail, the Customer may collect the goods following consultation with the Seller. In this case, shipping costs shall not be charged.

 

6) Reservation of title

If the Seller has provided advance performance, the Seller reserves ownership of the delivered goods up until payment in full of the due purchase price.

The statutory liability for defects applies.

 

8) Applicable law, place of jurisdiction, contract language

8.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to all legal relations of the parties by way of exclusion of the Law on the International Purchase of Movable Goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the granted protection is not withdrawn by way of obligatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his customary place of abode.


8.2 If the Customer acts as a merchant, legal person under public law or special public funds with a registered office located in the sovereign territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller's principal place of business shall be deemed the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes resulting from this contract. If the Customer has his registered office outside the sovereign territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller's principal place of business shall be deemed the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes resulting from this contract if the contract or the claims resulting from the contract can be attributed to the Customer's occupational or commercial activity. However, in any case the Seller shall be entitled to bring an action at the competent court for the Customer's registered office.
