1) Scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of Heuer Radsport, Haldenstraße 6, 73730 Esslingen (hereinafter referred to as "Seller"), shall apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer or a trader (hereinafter referred to as "Client") and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services presented in the Seller's online store. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly stipulated otherwise.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside his trade, business or profession. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of contract

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

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online store. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, e-mail or post.

2.3 The seller can 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 this respect, or
• by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
• by requesting payment from the customer after the order has been placed.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end 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 a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 When an offer is submitted via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the order has been sent, together with these GTC. In addition, the text of the contract is archived on the seller's website and can be accessed by the customer free of charge via his password-protected customer account by entering the corresponding login data, provided that the customer has created a customer account in the seller's online store before sending his order.

2.5 Before placing a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can recognize possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means of better recognizing input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. Customers can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click on the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.6 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.7 Order processing and contact are generally carried out by e-mail and automated order processing. 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. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's withdrawal policy.

4) Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union. Deliveries to countries outside the European Union can only be made on written request, but not via the store. Please send inquiries to: joachim(äd)heuer-radsport(dot)de.

4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online store.

4.4 If advance payment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment shall be due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed a later due date.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed, goods shall be delivered by dispatch to the delivery address specified by the customer.

5.2 If the transport company returns the shipped goods to the seller because delivery to the customer was not possible, the customer shall bear the costs for the unsuccessful shipment. This does not apply if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal, if he is not responsible for the circumstance that led to the impossibility of delivery or if he was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the seller had notified him of the service a reasonable time in advance.

5.3 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, carrier or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall not pass to the customer until the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Notwithstanding this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer, even in the case of consumers, as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.

5.4 The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care. The seller shall make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer shall be informed immediately and the consideration shall be reimbursed without delay.

5.5 Self-collection is possible after consultation with the seller.

6) Retention of title

6.1 In the case of consumers, the seller retains ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

6.2 In the case of entrepreneurs, the seller shall retain title to the delivered goods until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.

6.3 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, he shall be entitled to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. The customer assigns to the seller in advance all resulting claims against third parties in the amount of the respective invoice value (including VAT). This assignment shall apply irrespective of whether the reserved goods have been resold without or after processing. The customer shall remain authorized to collect the claims even after the assignment. The seller's right to collect the claims himself remains unaffected. However, the seller shall not collect the claims as long as the customer meets his payment obligations to the seller, is not in default of payment and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been filed.

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of statutory liability for defects shall apply. Deviating from this applies:

7.1 For entrepreneurs

• an insignificant defect does not justify any claims for defects;
• the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
• the limitation period for defects in new goods is one year from the transfer of risk;
• rights and claims for defects are generally excluded for used goods;
• the limitation period shall not recommence if a replacement delivery is made as part of the liability for defects.

7.2 For consumers, the limitation period for claims for defects in used goods is one year from delivery of the goods to the customer, with the restriction of the following clause.

7.3 The aforementioned limitations of liability and shortening of the limitation period shall not apply

• for items that have not been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness,
• for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, which are based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty by the seller or an intentional or negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of the seller,
• for other damages that are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the seller or on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of the user, as well as
• in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.

7.4 In addition, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 478 BGB remain unaffected.

7.5 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he shall be subject to the commercial obligation to inspect and give notice of defects pursuant to § 377 HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved.

7.6 If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer fails to do so, this shall have no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) Liability

The Seller shall be liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory claims, including claims in tort, for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:

8.1 The seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason

• in the event of intent or gross negligence,
• in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, limb or health,
• on the basis of a guarantee promise, unless otherwise agreed,
• due to mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.

8.2 If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract, unless unlimited liability applies in accordance with the above clause. 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 makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the customer may regularly rely.

8.3 Any further liability of the seller is excluded.

8.4 The above liability provisions shall also apply with regard to the liability of the Seller for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

9) Applicable law

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.

10) Place of jurisdiction

If the customer acts as a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the registered office of the seller. If the customer is domiciled outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller's place of business shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract if the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the customer's professional or commercial activity. In the above cases, however, the seller is in any case entitled to appeal to the court at the customer's place of business.

11) Alternative dispute resolution

11.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts in which a consumer is involved.

11.2 The seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
