1) SCOPE

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms and Conditions”) of RAKKIT GbR (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”) apply to all contracts concerning the delivery of goods by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) with the Seller in respect of the Seller Online store presents displayed goods. Hereby the inclusion of own conditions of the customer is contradicted, unless it is agreed otherwise.

1.2 For contracts for the delivery of vouchers, these terms and conditions apply accordingly, unless expressly stipulated otherwise.

1.3 A consumer in the sense of these terms and conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly neither be attributed to his/her commercial nor his/her self-employed professional activity. Entrepreneur in the sense of these terms and conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity, which acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.

2) CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online shop of the seller do not constitute binding offers by the seller, but serve to make a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the online shop of the seller. In this case, after the customer has placed the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and has gone through the electronic ordering process, by clicking on the button concluding the ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer in relation to the goods contained in the shopping cart. In addition, the customer may submit the offer to the seller by telephone, e-mail or online contact form.

2.3 The seller may accept the offer of the customer within five days,

  • by sending to 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 at the customer is decisive, or
  • by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the access of the goods to the customer is decisive, or
  • by asking the customer to pay after submitting his/her order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day following the date on which the offer is sent by the customer and ends on the fifth day following the dispatch 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/her declaration of intent.

2.4 If the payment method “PayPal Express” is selected, the payment is processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter “PayPal”), under the terms of the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full useragreement-full or – if the customer does not have a PayPal account – under the terms and conditions of payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer selects “PayPal Express” as part of the online ordering process, they also issue a payment order to PayPal by clicking on the button that concludes the order process. In this case, the seller already declares the acceptance of the offer of the customer at the time in which the customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button concluding the order process.

2.5 When placing an offer via the online order form of the seller, the contract text will be stored by the seller after conclusion of the contract and sent to the customer after sending his/her order in writing (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter). Any further provision of the contract by the seller is not possible. If the customer has set up a user account in the online shop of the seller before sending his/her order, the order data will be archived on the website of the seller and can be accessed by the customer via his/her password-protected user account, stating the corresponding login data free of charge.

2.6 Prior to the binding submission of the 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 for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. As part of the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his/her input via the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he/she clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7 The contract is concluded in German and English.

2.8 The order processing and contact usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address specified for the order processing is correct, so that at this address the e-mails sent by the seller can be received.
