3. Conclusion of contract in the online shop
(1) The presentation of products in the shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather a non-binding product display.
(2) By completing the order process (clicking the Buy/Order button), the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the items in the shopping cart.
(3) After submitting the order, the customer receives an automated order confirmation by email. This order confirmation merely documents the receipt of the order and does not yet constitute acceptance of the offer.
(4) A contract is only concluded through our express declaration of acceptance (e.g. by email) or by a shipping confirmation or dispatch of the goods – whichever occurs first.
(5) The technical steps leading to the conclusion of the contract, options for correcting entries and storage functions are explained during the order process.
4. Contract language, storage of contract text
(1) The contract language is German.
(2) We store the contract text (order data and GTC) and send the customer the order data by email. The GTC can be accessed in the shop at any time. For registered customers, past orders can be viewed in their customer account.

7. Transfer of risk, transport information
(1) For consumers, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the consumer or a recipient designated by them only upon handover.
(2) For business customers, the risk passes upon handover to the carrier/freight forwarder.
(3) Consumers are requested to report any obvious transport damage to the delivery agent as soon as possible and to inform us. Failure to do so has no effect on statutory warranty rights, but helps us to assert our own claims.
8. Retention of title
(1) The goods remain our property until payment has been made in full.
(2) In relation to business customers, the following also applies: We retain title to the goods until all claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. Pledging or transfer by way of security prior to transfer of ownership is not permitted.
9. Right of withdrawal for consumers
(1) Consumers are entitled to the statutory right of withdrawal in accordance with our cancellation policy.
(2) Exceptions (including sealed hygiene items/first layers after the seal has been broken, custom-made products) are set out in the cancellation policy.
(3) Business customers are not granted a voluntary right of withdrawal.
10. Statutory liability for defects (warranty)
(1) The statutory provisions on liability for defects apply.
(2) For consumers: Statutory claims remain unaffected.
(3) For business customers:
a) A prerequisite for claims based on defects is compliance with the duty to inspect and give notice of defects pursuant to Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).
b) The limitation period for claims based on defects is 12 months from the transfer of risk; this does not apply to recourse claims under Sections 445a, 445b BGB, cases of intent, gross negligence, injury to life, limb or health, or guarantees.
c) In the event of subsequent performance, the choice of the type of subsequent performance is at our discretion.
11. Liability
(1) We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence, for culpably caused injury to life, limb or health, as well as under the provisions of the Product Liability Act and in the event of an assumed guarantee.
(2) In the event of simple negligence in breaching material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), our liability is limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract at the time the contract was concluded.
(3) Otherwise, liability for simple negligence is excluded.
(4) The above provisions also apply to breaches of duty by our legal representatives or vicarious agents.
12. Set-off, right of retention
(1) The customer is entitled to a right of set-off only insofar as their counterclaims have been finally adjudicated, are undisputed or are ready for decision.
(2) A right of retention may only be asserted on the basis of claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

(3) If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Bolzano (BZ), Italy.
17. Final provisions
(1) Amendments and additions must be made in text form (e.g. email), unless stricter formal requirements apply. Statutory rights remain unaffected.
