General Terms and Conditions of Delivery and Payment for the online shop internet sales of Schaller GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”)

Version : January 31th 2018

§ 1 Scope of application, client base, language

  1. All offers, deliveries and services arising from online orders via our online shop www.schaller.info (hereinafter the “Webshop” are subject to these General Terms and Conditions. Schaller GmbH is contractual partner.
  2. The product range in our Webshop is intended for consumers and businesses alike, but only for end users. Within the context of these General Terms and Conditions,

    a) a consumer is an individual who enters into the contract neither for purposes related to their work, nor in a commercial nor self-employed capacity (§ 13 of the German Civil Code [...] (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - BGB), and
    b) a business is an individual or a legal entity, or a partnership with legal capacity, whom or which, upon entering the contract, shall act within their commercial or selfemployed professional [...]activity (§ 14 para. 1 BGB).

  3. Terms and conditions of the customer shall not apply, even if we do not contest their validity in individual circumstances.
  4. The contract with the customer shall be in German or English only, depending on whether the customer places his/her order via the German or the English website. When the order is placed via the German website, correspondingly, the German version of our General Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively. Similarly, in the event that an order is placed via the English website, the English version of the General Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively.

§ 2 Forming the contract

  1. The presentation of our range of products in the Webshop is not an offer as defined under §§ 145 ff BGB (German Civil Code), rather it is a non-binding invitation to customers to order these products.
  2. By sending us an order, whether via internet (by clicking "buy now"), via email, per telephone or via any other means of communication, he/she submits a binding offer to enter into a contract with us. The customer receives email confirmation of receipt of his/ her order, in which the details of the order are listed. This order confirmation is not a acceptance of the offer; it is merely to inform the customer that his/her order has been received by us.
  3. A sales contract with us arises when we accept the customer’s order by dispatching the product which they ordered and with a second email (dispatch confirmation) which informs the customer of same.
  4. In the event of partial order fulfillment, whereby products which were ordered are not listed in the dispatch confirmation, no sales contract shall be entered into for these nonlisted products. Whereby the customer selects the "payment in advance option" the sales contract is entered into once the order has been placed by the customer and we have dispatched the goods they ordered.
  5. In the event that we are unable to accept the Customer´s offer, the Customer shall receive notification of same from us, in place of our order acceptance confirmation. Any amounts already paid by the Customer shall be reimbursed forthwith.
  6. We archive the sales contract. Under „My account“ the most recent order of a given Customer can be viewed at any time. A copy of the order data can be provided on request.

§ 3 Cancellation right

Every customer who is a consumer is entitled to retract his offer and return the goods in accordance with the following cancellation policy.

We hereby declare that cancellation law shall not apply to contracts pertaining to the delivery of goods which are not ready-made, nor shall it apply to products which are manufactured according to the customers express wishes or specially adapted to the personal needs of the consumer.

Cancellation policy

You are legally entitled to cancel the contract within 14 days without giving a reason.

There is a cancellation period of fourteen days from the day that you, or a third party nominated by you who is not the carrier, took the goods into your/their possession.

In the event that the contract is for several items, which you ordered together in a single transaction, and in the event that the said goods are to be delivered separately, a cancellation period of fourteen days shall apply from the day on which you, or a nominated third party who is not the carrier, took the goods into your/their possession.

To exercise your cancellation rights, you are obliged to inform us in writing of your decision to cancel this contract via letter or email to Schaller GmbH (represented by the Managing Director – Owner Dr. Lars Bünning) An der Heide 15, 92353 Postbauer-Heng, Germany, Telephone: +49 9180 910-0, E-Mail: mail@schaller.info).

Consequences of cancellation
In the event that you cancel this contract, we are obliged to return all payments including delivery costs (excluding the additional costs which may have arisen in the event that you elected an alternative delivery type to the standard budget delivery offered by us) without delay and within fourteen days of our having received your cancellation notification.
For this return payment, we use the same form of payment which you elected during your original transaction when placing your order with us, except in the event that a different payment return arrangement has been expressly agreed; under no circumstances shall charges be made on account of this return payment.
We may refuse to make the return payment until the goods have been returned to us, or until such time as you have proved that you have already dispatched the goods for return, depending on which of the latter occurs first.

You are obliged to transfer or return the goods to us within fourteen days of having dispatched your cancellation letter/email to us; the cancellation period will not have expired if you send the goods to us within fourteen days.
