General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as the provider (ATV GmbH) via the website althaustea.sbs. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms and conditions of your own is hereby rejected.
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following provisions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor to their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity that, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject matter of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we already submit to you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping cart system under the conditions specified in the item description.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping cart". You can call up the "shopping cart" using the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After clicking the button "Checkout" or "Proceed to order" (or similar designation) and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed to you as an order overview.
If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Checkout), Klarna, Bancontact, EPS, MobilePay) as your payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or forwarded to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
If you are forwarded to the respective instant payment system, you make the corresponding selection or enter your data there. Finally, the order data will be displayed to you as an order overview on the website of the provider of the instant payment system or after you have been redirected back to our online shop.
Before submitting the order, you have the opportunity to review the information in the order overview once again, to change it (also via the "Back" function of your web browser) or to cancel the order.
By submitting the order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order subject to charge", "pay" / "pay now" or similar designation), you declare the legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract take place by e-mail, partly in an automated manner. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have provided to us is correct, that receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You may only exercise a right of retention insofar as it concerns claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory rights in respect of defects apply.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to check the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, it has no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to have been agreed if you were informed of it by us before submitting your contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law applies. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence (favourability principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of performance for all services arising from the business relationships existing with us, as well as the place of jurisdiction, is our registered office. The same applies if you have no general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, or if your domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is filed. This does not affect the right to also bring an action before the court of another statutory place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) expressly do not apply.
