1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "AGB") of Pöppel & Co. GmbH (hereinafter "Seller"), shall apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods, which a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer“) concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in its online store. Hereby, the inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 For contracts for the delivery of vouchers, these terms and conditions apply accordingly, unless otherwise provided.
1.3 Consumer in the sense of these terms and conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can be attributed predominantly neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity.
1.4 Entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a legally capable partnership, who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity.
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online store of the seller do not represent 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 online store of the seller. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding offer to enter into a contract with respect 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 by e-mail, fax, mail or telephone to the seller.
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), 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 shall be decisive, or
- by requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed the order
If several of the above alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the above alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the sending of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day, which follows the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.
2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the payment will 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/en/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account – under the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/en/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 completes the ordering process.
2.5 When submitting an offer via the online order form of the seller, the contract text will be stored after the conclusion of the contract by the seller and the customer after sending his order in writing (eg e-mail, fax or letter). 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 free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by providing the relevant login data.
2.6 Before binding submission of the order via the online order form of the seller, 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 enlargement 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 completes the ordering process.
2.7 For the conclusion of the contract the German and the English language are available.
2.8 Order processing and contacting usually take place by 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 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 instructions on withdrawal.
3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who, at the time of the conclusion of the contract, do not belong to a Member State of the European Union and whose sole place of residence and delivery address at the time of the conclusion of the contract are outside the European Union.
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 the statutory value-added tax. If applicable, additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.
4.2 In 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 are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transmission 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 money transmission 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.
4.3 The payment method(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online store.
4.4 If payment in advance by bank transfer has been agreed, payment shall be due immediately after the conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.5 If a payment method offered via the payment service „PayPal“ is selected, the payment will be processed üvia PayPal, whereby PayPal may 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 by 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 shall carry out a credit check using the customer data provided. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the selected payment method in the event of a negative test result. If the selected payment method is accepted, the Customer shall pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or in the agreed payment intervals. In this case, he can only make payment to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. regarding the goods, delivery time, shipment, returns, complaints, revocation declarations and deliveries or credit notes, even in the case of assignment of claims.
4.6 If the payment method purchase on account is selected, the purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price is payable within 14 (fourteen) days from receipt of the invoice without deduction, unless otherwise agreed. The Seller reserves the right to offer the payment method purchase on account only up to a certain order volume and to reject this payment method if the order volume exceeds the specified volume. In this case, the Seller shall inform the Customer of a corresponding payment restriction in his payment information in the online store. The seller also reserves the right to carry out a credit check when selecting the payment method purchase on account and to reject this payment method in the event of negative creditworthiness.
5) Delivery and shipping terms
5.1 If the Seller offers to ship the goods, the delivery shall be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address specified by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. In the processing of the transaction, the delivery address specified in the order processing of the seller is significant.
5.2 If 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.

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, with due diligence, concluded a specific hedging transaction with the supplier. The Seller shall 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.
