1) Scope
1.1These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) of Bagaroo GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”) shall apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in its online store. The inclusion of the customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2These GTC shall apply mutatis mutandis to contracts for the delivery of goods presented in the Seller’s print catalog, unless expressly provided otherwise.
1.3For the purposes of these GTC, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. 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 his commercial or independent professional activity.
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1The product descriptions contained in the Seller’s online store do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by the Customer.
2.2The Customer may 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 makes a legally binding offer to enter into a contract for the goods in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer may also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, e-mail, mail or online contact form.
2.3When ordering goods presented in the Seller’s print catalog, the Customer may submit its offer to the Seller by telephone, fax, e-mail or mail. For this purpose, the Customer may fill in the order form attached to the Seller’s print catalog and return it to the Seller.
2.4The 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), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer shall be decisive, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
- by requesting payment from the customer after the customer’s order has been placed.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer 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 shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.
2.5If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the payment shall be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: “PayPal”), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if the Customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the Terms for Payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer’s offer at the time the customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.6When submitting an offer via the Seller’s online order form, the text of the contract shall be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer’s order has been sent. The seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller’s online store before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller’s website and can be accessed by the customer free of charge via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.
2.7Before bindingly placing the order via the Seller’s online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the magnification function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.8The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.9Order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is accurate so that 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
3.1Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.
3.2More detailed information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller’s cancellation policy.
4) Prices and terms of payment
4.1Unless otherwise stated in the Seller’s product description, the prices quoted are total prices which include the statutory value added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.
4.2In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which shall be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of funds 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.
4.3The payment option(s) will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller’s online store.
4.4If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment shall be due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.5If the payment method credit card via Stripe is selected, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. The payment is processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: “Stripe”). Stripe reserves the right to perform a credit check and to reject this payment method in case of a negative credit check.
5) Delivery and shipping conditions
5.1The delivery of goods shall be made by shipping to the delivery address provided by the customer, unless otherwise agreed.
5.2If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the Customer is responsible, the Customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Seller as a result. This shall not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises its right of revocation. In the event of an effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in the seller’s revocation instructions shall apply to the return costs.
5.3If the Customer is acting as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall pass to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any 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 sold goods shall in principle only pass upon handover of the goods to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 carrier, freight forwarder or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the carrier, freight forwarder or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named such person or institution to the customer.
5.4The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in case 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 diligence. Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In case of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.
5.5Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
6) Retention of title
6.1With respect to consumers, the Seller shall retain title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.
6.2With respect to entrepreneurs, the Seller shall retain title to the delivered goods until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.
6.3If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, it shall be entitled to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. The customer shall assign all claims against third parties arising therefrom to the seller in advance in the amount of the respective invoice value (including value added tax). This assignment shall apply regardless of whether the reserved goods have been resold without or after processing. The customer remains authorized to collect the claims even after the assignment. This shall not affect the Seller’s right to collect the receivables itself. However, the Seller shall not collect the claims as long as the Customer meets its 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 the statutory liability for defects shall apply. Deviating from this:
7.1If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,
- the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
- the limitation period for defects in new goods is one year from delivery of the goods;
- the rights and claims due to defects are generally excluded for used goods;
- the limitation period shall not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.
7.2If the customer acts as a consumer, the following shall apply to used goods with the restriction of the following clause: Claims for defects shall be excluded if the defect only occurs after the expiry of one year from the delivery of the goods. Defects that occur within one year of delivery of the goods can be claimed within the statutory period of limitation.
7.3The limitations of liability and shortening of time limits set forth in the preceding clauses shall not apply to
- for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness,
- for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses of the customer, as well as
- in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.
7.4Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse pursuant to § 445b BGB shall remain unaffected.
7.5If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he shall be subject to the commercial duty of inspection and notification of defects pursuant to § 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved.
7.6If the Customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the Seller thereof. If the customer does not comply with this, 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:
8.1The Seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason whatsoever
- 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 warranty promise, unless otherwise regulated in this respect,
- on the basis of mandatory liability, such as under the Product Liability Act.
8.2If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless liability is unlimited pursuant to the preceding clause. Material 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.
8.3Otherwise, any liability of the Seller is excluded.
8.4The above liability provisions shall also apply with regard to the Seller’s liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.
9) Special conditions for the processing of goods according to certain specifications of the customer.
9.1If, according to the content of the contract, in addition to the delivery of the goods, the Seller is also obligated to process the goods according to certain specifications of the Customer, the Customer shall provide the Seller with all content required for the processing, such as texts, images or graphics in the file formats, formatting, image and file sizes specified by the Seller and shall grant the Seller the necessary rights of use for this purpose. The customer is solely responsible for obtaining and acquiring the rights to this content. The Customer declares and assumes responsibility for having the right to use the content provided to the Seller. In particular, he shall ensure that no rights of third parties are infringed, especially copyrights, trademark rights and personal rights.
9.2The Customer shall indemnify the Seller against any claims of third parties which the latter may assert against the Seller in connection with an infringement of their rights by the contractual use of the Customer’s content by the Seller. In this context, the customer shall also bear the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defense, including all court and attorney’s fees in the statutory amount. This shall not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the customer is obliged to provide the seller immediately, truthfully and completely with all information necessary for the examination of the claims and a defense.
9.3The Seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the Customer for this purpose violates statutory or official prohibitions or offends common decency. This applies in particular to the provision of anti-constitutional, racist, xenophobic, discriminatory, offensive, youth endangering and/or violence glorifying content.
10) Applicable law
All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
11) 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 has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller’s registered office 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 shall in any case be entitled to bring the matter before the court at the Customer’s place of business.
12) Alternative dispute resolution
12.1The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://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 involving a consumer.
12.2The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
