General terms and conditions

Standard Terms of Business and Customer Information

I. Terms

§ 1 Basic Provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as the provider (Ute Helmreich) via the website www.dudea-latexshop.de. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms and conditions used by you is hereby rejected.

(2) For the purposes of these provisions, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither attributable to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods including digital content (data that is created and supplied in digital form).

(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we are submitting a binding offer to you 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 you intend to purchase are placed in the “shopping cart”. You can access the “shopping cart” and make changes there at any time using the corresponding button in the navigation bar.
After clicking the “Checkout” or “Continue to order” button (or similar name) and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed as an order overview.

If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort) as your payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or redirected to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
If you are forwarded to the respective instant payment system, make the appropriate selection or enter your data there. Finally, you will be shown the order data as an order overview on the website of the provider of the instant payment system or after you have been directed back to our online shop.

Before submitting the order, you have the option to check the information in the order overview again, to change it (also via the "back" function of the internet browser) or to cancel the order.

By submitting your order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order subject to payment", "pay" / "pay now" or similar wording), you legally accept the offer, thereby concluding the contract. (4) Your requests for a quotation are non-binding. We will then submit a binding offer to you in written form (e.g., by email), which you can accept within 5 days (unless a different period is specified in the respective offer).

(5) Order processing and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract are carried out partly automatically via email. You must therefore ensure that the email address you have provided to us is correct, that the receipt of emails is technically ensured, and in particular that it is not prevented by spam filters.

§ 3 license to use digital content

(1) The digital content offered is protected by copyright. You receive a license to use each piece of digital content purchased from us from the respective licensor. The type and scope of the license are set out in the license terms specified in the respective offer.

§ 4 Individually designed goods

(1) You provide us with the information, texts or files required for the individual design of the goods via the online ordering system or by e-mail at the latest immediately after the conclusion of the contract. Our possible specifications for file formats must be observed.

(2) You agree not to provide any data whose content violates the rights of third parties (in particular copyrights, naming rights, trademark rights) or violates existing laws. You expressly indemnify us against all third-party claims asserted in this context. This also concerns the costs of the legal representation required in this context.

(3) We do not check the transmitted data for correctness of the content and do not accept liability for errors.

§ 5 Special agreements for offered payment methods

(1) Payment via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout"
If you select a payment method that is offered via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout", the payment is processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl et Cie, SCA (22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg; " PayPal"). The individual payment methods via "PayPal" are displayed to you under a correspondingly designated button on our website and in the online ordering process. "PayPal" can use other payment services to process payments; if special terms of payment apply, you will be informed of these separately. You can find more information about "PayPal" at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full.

§ 6 Right of retention , reservation of title

(1) You may only exercise a right of retention insofar as it relates to claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods shall remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following also applies:

a) We reserve the ownership of the goods until complete settlement of all claims arising from the current business relationship. Before the transfer of ownership of the reserved goods, a pledge or security transfer is not permitted.

b) You can resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you already now assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that accrue to you from the resale, we accept the assignment. They are further authorized to collect the claim. If you do not properly meet your payment obligations, however, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) In the case of combination and mixing of the reserved goods, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in proportion of the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request to the extent that the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released is our responsibility.

§ 7 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights apply.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to inspect 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. Failure to do so will not affect your statutory warranty rights.

(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed agreed if you were informed of it before we submitted the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.

(4) If you are an entrepreneur, the following applies in deviation from the above warranty provisions:

a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description are considered agreed upon as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public statements and pronouncements by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we will, at our discretion, provide a remedy by repair or replacement. If the remedy fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. A remedy is deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect, or other circumstances, indicate otherwise. In the case of repair, we are not obligated to bear the increased costs incurred by transporting the goods to a location other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. This reduction of the warranty period does not apply:

- culpably caused damage attributable to us from injury to life, body or health and other damage caused intentionally or with gross negligence;
- as far as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have given a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- for things that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness;
- In the case of legal recourse claims that you have against us in connection with warranty rights.

§ 8 Choice of law

(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which they have their habitual residence (principle of most favorable law).

(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall expressly not apply.

§ 9 Protection of minors

(1)  When selling goods that are subject to the regulations of the Youth Protection Act, we only enter into contractual relationships with customers who have reached the legally prescribed minimum age.
Existing age restrictions are indicated in the respective item description.

(2) By submitting your order, you confirm that you have reached the legally required minimum age and that your name and address details are correct. You are obliged to ensure that only you or persons authorized by you to accept the delivery, who have reached the legally required minimum age, receive the goods.

(3) Insofar as we are obliged to carry out an age check due to legal provisions, we shall instruct the logistics service provider commissioned with the delivery to hand over the delivery only to persons who have reached the legally prescribed minimum age and, in case of doubt, to have the identity card of the person receiving the goods shown for age verification.

(4) If, in the respective product description, we specify that you must be 18 years of age or older to purchase the goods, in addition to the legally required minimum age, paragraphs 1-3 above shall apply, with the proviso that the legally required minimum age is replaced by the age of majority.
