If this website also offers payment methods for which the seller makes an advance payment (such as purchase on account or installment payments), the seller declares the assignment of his payment claim to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically selected by the customer. PayPal or the selected third-party provider first carries out a credit check before accepting the seller's assignment offer. The selected payment method can be refused if the credit check produces a negative result.
After the selected payment method has been approved, payment can only be made to PayPal or the respective commissioned payment service provider with a debt-discharging effect.
3.6. When paying via "PayPal direct debit", the debt is collected by PayPal from the customer's bank account on behalf of the seller after a SEPA direct debit mandate has been issued and after the deadline for advance information has expired. Advance information is the seller's notification to the customer that their account will be debited by SEPA direct debit and can, for example, be in the form of an invoice or a contract. If the direct debit cannot be redeemed due to insufficient funds in the account or due to incorrect bank details being provided, or if the customer objects to the debit without being entitled to do so, the customer must bear the fees incurred by the respective credit institution as a result of the chargeback if he is responsible for this. The remaining contractual relationship as well as rights and obligations towards the seller and the seller remain unaffected by the payment by direct debit.

4. Delivery and shipping conditions
4.1. Goods are delivered to the delivery address provided by the customer. In contrast to this, when paying via PayPal, the delivery address provided by the customer to PayPal at the time of payment is decisive.
4.2. Delivery by freight forwarder is "free curbside", i.e. to the public curb closest to the delivery address. This only applies if the seller's shipping information does not state otherwise and nothing else has been agreed.
4.3. If the seller incurs additional costs due to the specification of an incorrect delivery address or an incorrect recipient or other circumstances that make delivery impossible, these must be reimbursed by the customer, unless he is not responsible for the incorrect information or impossibility. The same applies if the customer was temporarily prevented from accepting the service, unless the seller had adequately notified him of the service beforehand. Excluded from this regulation are the costs of delivery if the customer has effectively exercised his right of cancellation. In this case, the statutory regulation or the regulation made by the seller applies.
4.4. The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold passes to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the carrier or the other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment if the customer is an entrepreneur. If the customer is a consumer, the transfer of risk generally only takes place when the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them.
In deviation from this, the transfer of risk also occurs for consumers as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the carrier or the other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the freight forwarder, the carrier or the other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment themselves and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.
4.5. The contract is concluded with the reservation that in the event of improper, delayed or non-existent self-delivery, the goods will not be delivered or will only be delivered in part or at a later date. This only applies if there is a congruent hedging transaction between seller and supplier, and the seller is not responsible for improper, delayed or non-existent self-delivery and cannot be remedied with reasonable effort. If the goods are not available or only partially available, the customer will be informed immediately. Any payment made will be refunded immediately.
4.6. Self-collection is not offered.
4.7. Vouchers are provided to the customer in the following form:
- by email
- by download
- by post
5. Right of withdrawal
5.1. If the customer is a consumer, he or she is generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.
5.2. The seller's cancellation policy applies to the right of withdrawal.
5.3. Consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time the contract is concluded and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded are not entitled to a right of withdrawal.
6. Retention of title
6.1. In contracts with consumers, the goods remain the property of the seller until full payment has been made.
6.2. In the case of contracts with entrepreneurs, the goods remain the property of the seller until all claims from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.
6.3. If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, he is entitled to resell the reserved goods in the normal course of business.
The customer assigns to the seller in advance any claims against third parties arising from the resale in the amount of the respective invoice value (including sales tax). This assignment applies regardless of whether the reserved goods were resold without or after processing. The customer may collect claims even after the assignment, but this does not affect the seller's right to collect the claims himself. The seller will, however, refrain from collecting the claims as long as the customer meets his payment obligations to the seller, does not fall into arrears and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been made against the customer.
7. Liability for defects
With regard to the warranty, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects apply unless otherwise agreed.
7.1. If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur,
- the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
- in the case of used goods, the rights and claims due to defects are generally excluded;
- in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from the transfer of risk;
- the limitation period does not begin again if a replacement delivery has been made within the scope of the liability for defects.
7.2. The statutory limitation periods for the recourse claim of an entrepreneur § 478 BGB remain unaffected.
7.3. If the customer is acting as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB, he is subject to the commercial inspection and complaint obligations pursuant to § 377 HGB.
7.4. If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain to the deliverer about goods received with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this.
It is expressly clarified that the customer's statutory or contractual claims for defects are not affected if the customer does not comply with this request.
8. Liability
The seller's liability for all contractual, quasi-contractual, statutory and tortious claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses is determined as follows:
8.1. The seller is only liable without limitation for damages that are attributable to intentional or grossly negligent behavior.

8.2. Liability is - except in the case of intentional or grossly negligent conduct or damages resulting from injury to life, body or health and the violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) - limited to the damages typically foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded and, in all other respects, to the average damages typical for the contract. This also applies to indirect consequential damages such as, in particular, lost profits.

11. Applicable law
11.1. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the laws on the international sale of movable goods.
The statutory provisions restricting the choice of law and the applicability of mandatory provisions, in particular of the state in which the customer as a consumer has his or her habitual residence, remain unaffected.
11.2. This choice of law made here does not apply with regard to the statutory right of cancellation for consumers if they do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time the contract is concluded and their sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.
12. Place of jurisdiction
