1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of FYARE SYSTEMS GmbH (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded between a consumer or a trader (hereinafter "Customer") and the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop, as well as offers submitted by the Seller in writing or in writing. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby excluded, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor independent professional. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person, or a partnership with legal capacity, who, when entering into 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 shop 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 an offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, email, post, or via the online contact form.
2.3 Offers submitted by the Seller in writing or in text form, like the product descriptions in the online shop, are always subject to change and non-binding, unless the offer is designated as binding. The Customer may submit a legally binding contractual offer (order) to the Seller regarding the goods included in the offer by telephone, fax, email, or mail.
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, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
- by requesting payment from the customer after placing his order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time 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 on the expiry of 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 their declaration of intent.
2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the contract text will be saved by the Seller and sent to the Customer after the order has been submitted, along with these General Terms and Conditions, in text form (e.g., by email, fax, or letter). In addition, the contract text will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the Customer via their password-protected customer account by entering the relevant login data, provided the Customer has created a customer account in the Seller's online shop before submitting their order.
2.6 Before submitting a binding 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 detecting input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. During the electronic ordering process, the Customer can correct their entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that completes the order process.
2.7 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.8 Order processing and contact are generally carried out via email and automated order processing.
