1) Scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Vageler & Christiansen GmbH (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the customer's own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 For contracts for the delivery of vouchers, these GTC apply mutatis mutandis, unless otherwise stipulated in this respect.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity.

1.4 Entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into 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 contract offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by e-mail, online contact form, by post or by telephone.

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 asking the customer to pay after placing his order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives are available, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the sending of the offer by the customer 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 a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment will be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/web If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal selectable in the online ordering process, the seller already declares the acceptance of the customer's offer at the time when the customer clicks on the button that completes the order process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the contract text is stored by the seller after the conclusion of the contract and sent to the customer after sending his order in text form (e.g. B. E-mail, fax or letter). The seller does not make the contract text available 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 retrieved free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account, specifying the corresponding login data.

2.6 Before binding submission of the order via the seller's online order form, the customer can recognise 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, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process via the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that completes the ordering process.

2.7 German and English are available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 Order processing and contact usually take place 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 the 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 with the order processing can be delivered.

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.

4) Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include the statutory value added tax. If necessary, additional delivery and shipping costs will be specified separately in the respective product description.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or Taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of money if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop.

4.4 If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, the payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

4.5 If a payment method offered via the payment service "PayPal" is selected, payment processing takes place via PayPal, whereby PayPal can also use the services of third-party payment service providers. If the seller also offers payment methods via PayPal in which he goes in advance to the customer (e.g. B. Purchase on account or installment payment), he assigns his payment claim in this respect to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the customer. Before accepting the seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal carries out a credit check using the transmitted customer data. The seller reserves the right to refuse the selected payment method to the customer in the event of a negative examination result. If the selected payment method is approved, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or in the agreed payment intervals. In this case, he can only provide PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharising effect. However, even in the case of assignment of claims, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. B. to the goods, delivery time, dispatch, returns, complaints, revocation declarations and shipments or credits.

4.6 If the payment method "SOFORT" is selected, the payment is processed by the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter "SOFORT"). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", legitimise himself accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is carried out immediately afterwards by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account is debited. The customer can find more information about the payment method "SOFORT" on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.

4.7 If you select a payment method offered via the "Stripe" payment service, payment processing takes place via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe").
