2 Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online store or on the order pages and in the seller's order form do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to make a binding offer by the customer.

After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer enters a legally binding contract offer with respect to the basket of contained goods.

2.3 In the case of orders for goods displayed in the Seller's print catalogue, the Customer may submit his offer to the Seller by telephone, fax, e-mail or postal form.

2.4 The Seller may accept the Customer's offer within five days,

  • by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in so far as the customer's receipt of the order confirmation is decisive, or
  • by supplying the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods with the customer is decisive in so far, or
  • by requesting the customer to pay after placing his order.

The contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The deadline for acceptance of the offer begins to run on the day after the customer submits the offer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer, with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

An effective technical means for better detection of input errors can be the magnification function of the browser, which increases the display on the screen. As part of the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.

The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct, so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address.

If the customer is an entrepreneur, the seller grants the customer the non-exclusive, local and temporally unlimited right to use the content provided for personal, professional or company-internal training for his own person, but not to use them for commercial purposes or to exploit them commercially.

If the customer acts as a (book) dealer, reseller or representative, the seller grants the customer the right to sell the contents provided to a final consumer under reasonable, agreed commission and thus only to grant the customer the non-exclusive, local and temporally unlimited right to use the content provided exclusively for private purposes (such as personal training).

6.3 The granting of rights shall only take effect once the customer has paid the contractually owed remuneration in full. The seller may also provisionally permit the use of the contractual content even before this date. Such a provisional authorization does not grant a transfer of rights.

7.2 The Seller reserves the right of ownership of the delivered goods to entrepreneurs until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.

7.3 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, he is entitled to resell the goods subject to retention of title in the proper course of business.

This assignment applies regardless of whether the goods subject to retention of title have been resold without or after processing. The customer remains authorized to collect the claims even after the assignment. This does not affect the seller's authority to collect the claims itself. However, the Seller will not recover the claims as long as the Customer fulfils his payment obligations towards the Seller, does not default on payment and no application has been made for the opening of insolvency proceedings.

8 Warranty and damages

If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory warranty or liability for defects apply. This differs from:

8.1 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,

  • the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
  • in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from the transfer of risk;
  • in the case of used goods, the rights and claims due to defects are generally excluded;
  • the limitation period does not start again if a replacement delivery takes place within the scope of the liability for defects.

8.2 The limitations of liability and reductions of limitation periods as set out in the preceding paragraphs do not apply

  • for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the customer, as well as
  • in the event that the seller fraudulently concealed the defect.

8.3 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is asked to complain to the delivery company about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply, this has no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8.4 For resellers, the Seller reserves the right to remedy the defect of a product by replacing it with a defect-free one in the event of a warranty claim being asserted. Complaints must be made in writing to the seller in the event of any other exclusion of liability and warranty immediately after receipt of the goods.

  • in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, body or health,
  • on the basis of a guarantee promise, unless otherwise stipulated in this respect,
  • due to mandatory liability, such as under the Product Liability Act.

9.2 If the Seller negligently violates an essential contractual obligation, the liability is limited to half the purchase price of the liability or to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract, unless liability is unlimited in accordance with the preceding paragraph. This also applies in the event of delay or impossibility of performance. For consumers within the meaning of the KSchG, damages are paid to the legal extent. Essential contractual obligations are obligations which the contract imposes on the seller according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the customer may regularly rely.

9.3 Furthermore, liability of the seller is excluded.

9.4 The above liability regulations also apply with regard to the liability of the seller for his vicarious agents and legal representatives.
