1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Parsenn-Produkte AG (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded between a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") and the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. 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.

2.3 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.

2.4 If the payment method "PayPal Express" is selected, payment processing will be carried out via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 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 and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer selects "PayPal Express" as the payment method during the online ordering process, they also issue a payment order to PayPal by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. In this case, the seller hereby declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer initiates the payment process by clicking the button that concludes the order process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the contract text will be 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 time. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before submitting their order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the Customer via their password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.

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 standard keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that completes the order process.

2.7 Order processing and contact are generally carried out via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address provided for order processing 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

3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.

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

4) Prices and payment terms

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices including statutory sales tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be stated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller’s online shop.

4.3 If advance payment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

4.4 When paying using a payment method offered by PayPal, payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 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 and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full.

4.5 If the payment method "PayPal Direct Debit" is selected, PayPal will debit the invoice amount from the customer's bank account on behalf of the seller after issuing a SEPA direct debit mandate, but not before the expiry of the advance notification period. Advance notification ("pre-notification") is any communication (e.g., invoice, policy, contract) to the customer announcing a SEPA direct debit. If the direct debit is not honored due to insufficient account funds or due to the provision of incorrect bank details, or if the customer objects to the debit despite being unauthorized, the customer must bear the fees incurred by the respective credit institution for the chargeback if the customer is responsible for this.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 Goods will be delivered to the delivery address provided by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address provided during the seller's order processing is decisive for the transaction. Exception: If PayPal is selected as the payment method, the delivery address provided by the customer to PayPal at the time of payment is decisive.

5.2 If 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 to the shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. If the customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal, the provisions in the seller's cancellation policy apply to the return shipping costs.

5.3 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

6) Retention of title

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

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

7.1 If the purchased item is defective, the statutory liability for defects shall apply.

7.2 The customer is requested to report any goods delivered with obvious transport damage to the delivery agent and to notify the seller of this. Failure by the customer to do so will have no effect on their statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) Redemption of promotional vouchers

8.1 Vouchers issued free of charge by the Seller as part of promotional campaigns with a specific period of validity and which cannot be purchased by the Customer (hereinafter "promotional vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop and only during the specified period.

8.2 Individual products may be excluded from the voucher promotion if a corresponding restriction arises from the content of the promotional voucher.

8.3 Promotional vouchers can only be redeemed before the order process is completed. Subsequent offsetting is not possible.

8.4 Only one promotional voucher can be redeemed per order.

8.5 The value of the goods must be at least equal to the amount of the promotional voucher. Any remaining balance will not be refunded by the seller.

8.6 If the value of the promotional voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the Seller can be selected to settle the difference.

8.7 The balance of a promotional voucher will not be paid out in cash or bear interest.

8.8 The promotional voucher will not be refunded if the customer returns the goods paid for in whole or in part with the promotional voucher within the scope of his statutory right of withdrawal.

8.9 The promotional voucher is intended for use only by the person named on it. Transfer of the promotional voucher to third parties is excluded. The seller is entitled, but not obligated, to verify the material eligibility of the respective voucher holder.

9) Applicable law

All legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws governing the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only 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 or her habitual residence.

10) Place of jurisdiction

If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the seller's place of business. If the customer is based outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller's place of business is 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 is entitled in any case to bring proceedings before the court at the customer's place of business.

11) Alternative dispute resolution

11.1 The 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 sales or service contracts involving a consumer.

11.2 The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
