1) Scope

1.1These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) of KALITEAS Ltd. (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be predominantly attributed to either their commercial or independent professional activity.

1.3An entrepreneur within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions 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

2.1The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but are used to make a binding offer by the customer.

2.2The customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. 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 on the button that completes the ordering process.

2.3The 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 email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
• by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
• by asking the customer to pay after placing their order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives are present, 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 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 is deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4If you select a payment method offered by PayPal, payment is 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/en/webapps/mpp/etc/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/etc/privacywax-full. If the customer pays using a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected during the online ordering process, the seller declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the moment the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.5When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the contract text is saved by the seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. The seller will not make the contract text available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.

2.6Before bindingly submitting 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 of better detecting input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges 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 completes the ordering process.

2.7Different languages are available for concluding the contract. The specific language selection is displayed in the online shop.

2.8Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address he provided to process the order is correct so that emails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all emails 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 generally have a right of withdrawal.

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

4) Prices and payment terms

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

4.2For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which must be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money through credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may arise in relation to the money transfer even if the delivery does not take place 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 shop.

4.4If you select a payment method offered via the “PayPal” payment service, payment is processed via PayPal, although PayPal can also use the services of third-party payment service providers for this purpose. If the seller also offers payment methods via PayPal in which he makes advance payments to the customer (e.g. purchase on account or payment in installments), he assigns his payment claim to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the customer. Before accepting the seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal carries out a credit check using the customer data transmitted. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the selected payment method in the event of a negative check result. If the selected payment method is approved, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or at the agreed payment intervals. In this case, he can only make payments to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with a debt-discharging effect. However, even in the event of assignment of claims, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. B. about the goods, delivery time, shipping, returns, complaints, cancellation declarations and shipments or credit notes.

4.5If you select the payment method “SOFORT”, payment is processed via the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter “SOFORT”). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via “SOFORT”, the customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in “SOFORT”, identify themselves accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to “SOFORT”. The payment transaction will be carried out immediately afterwards by “SOFORT” and the customer’s bank account will be debited. The customer can find more information about the “SOFORT” payment method online at https://www.klarna.com/immediately/ recall.

4.6If you select a payment method offered via the payment service “Shopify Payments”, payment is processed by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter “Stripe”). The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments are communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. To process payments, Stripe may use other payment services to which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be notified separately. Further information about “Shopify Payments” is available online at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-en available.

4.7When selecting the payment method "purchase on account," the purchase price becomes due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price is to be paid to Klarna AB, Sveavägen 46, 11134 Stockholm, Sweden (www.klarna.de) within 30 days from the invoice date without deduction, unless otherwise agreed. The payment method "purchase on account" requires a successful credit check by Klarna AB. If the customer is permitted to use the "purchase on account" payment method after the credit check, the payment processing will be carried out in cooperation with Klarna AB, to whom the seller assigns their payment claim. In this case, the customer can only make payments with debt-discharging effect to Klarna AB. Otherwise, the General Terms and Conditions of Klarna AB apply, which the customer can access during the ordering process. The seller reserves the right to offer the "purchase on account" payment method only up to a certain order volume and to reject this payment method if the specified order volume is exceeded. In this case, the seller will inform the customer of the corresponding payment restriction in their payment information in the online shop.

4.8If you select the payment method “PayPal invoice”, the seller assigns his payment claim to PayPal. Before accepting the seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal will carry out a credit check using the customer data provided. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the “PayPal invoice” payment method in the event of a negative check result. If the payment method “PayPal invoice” is permitted by PayPal, the customer must pay the invoice amount to PayPal within 30 days of receipt of the goods, unless PayPal specifies another payment deadline. In this case, he can only make payments to PayPal with a debt-discharging effect. However, even in the event of the assignment of claims, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. B. about the goods, delivery time, shipping, returns, complaints, cancellation declarations and shipments or credit notes. In addition, the General Terms of Use for the use of PayPal's purchase on account apply, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/pui-terms.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1If the seller offers to ship the goods, delivery will take place within the delivery area specified by the seller to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive.

5.2If 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 does not apply with regard to the shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises the right of cancellation, the return shipping costs will be subject to the provisions set out in the seller's cancellation policy.

5.3If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold passes to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the freight carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold is generally only transferred when the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Deviating from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold, even for consumers, passes to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the freight carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the The customer commissions the freight forwarder, the freight forwarder or the other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.

5.4The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper delivery. This only applies in the event that the non-delivery is not the fault of the seller and the seller has concluded a specific cover transaction with the supplier with due care. The seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.

5.5Pickup is not possible for logistical reasons.

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payments, he reserves ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

Unless otherwise stated in the following regulations, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:

7.1If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,

• the seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
• For new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
• In the case of used goods, rights and claims due to defects are excluded;
• The statute of limitations does not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

7.2The liability limitations and shortening of deadlines regulated above do not apply

• for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the customer,
• in the event that the seller fraudulently concealed the defect,
• for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defects,
• for any obligation of the seller to provide updates for digital products, in contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.

7.3In addition, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing legal recourse claim remain unaffected.

7.4If the customer acts as a consumer, he is asked to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply with this, this will have no impact on his legal or contractual claims for defects.

8) Liability

The seller is liable to the customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory, including tortious claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:

8.1The seller is fully liable for any legal reason

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

8.2If the seller negligently violates an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage that is typical for the contract, unless unlimited liability exists in accordance with the previous paragraph. Essential contractual obligations are obligations that 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 can regularly rely.

8.3Otherwise, liability on the part of the seller is excluded.

8.4The above liability regulations also apply with regard to the liability of the seller for his vicarious agents and legal representatives.

9) Alternative dispute resolution

9.1The 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 in which a consumer is involved.

9.2The seller is neither obliged nor willing to take part in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
