ALLGEMEINE GESCHÄFTSBEDINGUNGEN
1. PREAMBLE
The contract is concluded with the company: ARTHELPS gemeinnützige GmbH, represented by Yasemin Lupo. The following contractual terms and conditions apply to all contracts concluded between the seller and the respective buyer and are expressly recognized with the order.
2 CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE
The seller's offer of goods on the Internet does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract, but an invitation to submit an offer. The Buyer may submit its purchase offer by telephone, in writing, by fax, by e-mail or via the ordering system integrated in the Seller's online store. When purchasing via the online store, the goods whose purchase is intended are placed in the virtual "shopping cart". Using the appropriate button on each page, the customer can access the "shopping cart" and make changes there. Then the buyer enters the personal data and selects the payment and shipping terms. Before the final submission of the purchase offer, the customer has the opportunity to review his information again, change or cancel the purchase. By sending the order via the button "Order with costs", "Order with payment" or "Buy", the customer submits a binding offer. The customer first receives an automatic e-mail about the receipt of his order. This confirmation of receipt does not yet lead to the conclusion of the contract.
. The acceptance of the offer (and thus the conclusion of the contract) takes place separately in each case, either by confirmation in text form, in which the processing of the order or delivery of the goods is confirmed to the buyer or by sending the goods.
. If the buyer has not received an order confirmation or notification of delivery or no goods within seven working days, he is no longer bound to the order. In this case, any services already rendered will be refunded immediately.
In the respective offers, prices are listed including VAT (if applicable). The prices represent final prices. They include all price components, including all applicable taxes.
Only in the case of cross-border delivery, further taxes (e.g. in the case of a purchase within the European Community) and/or duties (e.g. customs duties) may be payable by the buyer in individual cases, but not to the seller, but to the customs or tax authorities responsible there. In addition, the buyer has to pay shipping costs. These are not included in the purchase price. They are available on the page "Delivery and shipping costs" and are shown separately in the course of the ordering process.
. Contract language is exclusively German. The contract text (order data and terms and conditions) is stored by the seller. However, the storage is only limited or not accessible to the buyer. The buyer himself has to provide for a printout or a separate storage.
. All goods from our online store are subject to statutory warranty rights (see Section 9.).

3. retention of title and choice of law
The goods remain the property of the seller until full payment of the purchase price. German law shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, but only to the extent that this does not deprive mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the customer has his habitual residence.
4. limitation of liability
The Seller shall be liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health, insofar as he fraudulently conceals a defect or has assumed a guarantee for the quality of the object of purchase, for damages caused intentionally and by gross negligence, for damages under the Product Liability Act and insofar as also prescribed by mandatory law.
. Insofar as material obligations under the contract are concerned, the breach of which jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on the observance of which the other contracting party could regularly rely, the Seller's liability in case of slight negligence is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
In the event of a breach of immaterial contractual obligations, liability is excluded in the case of slightly negligent breaches of duty.

6. payment and shipping terms
Consumers are requested to check the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify the seller and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. Your warranty claims remain unaffected.
7. transfer of risk
The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the purchased item shall pass to the Buyer who is not a consumer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. § 447 Section (2) BGB remains unaffected.
8. Warranty
Consumers are entitled to the statutory right of liability for defects. If the customer is an entrepreneur, the warranty period is limited to one year for new goods and excluded for used goods. If the customer is not acting as a consumer, the seller shall fulfill warranty claims for defective new goods at his discretion by repair or replacement. If the customer is a consumer, the warranty period for used goods shall be limited to one year.
. The limitation of liability of paragraph 1 does not apply to grossly negligent or intentional damage caused by the seller due to injury to life, limb or health or due to the violation of essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which enable the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely. The same shall apply to breaches of duty by vicarious agents.
. If the Buyer is not acting as a consumer, he is obliged to inspect the purchased goods immediately and with due care for deviations in quality and quantity and to notify the Seller in writing of any obvious defects within seven days of receipt; timely dispatch shall suffice to meet the deadline. The same shall apply to hidden defects discovered later from the time of discovery. Warranty claims shall be excluded in the event of a breach of the obligation to inspect the goods and to give notice of defects.
If the rectification of defects according to paragraph 1 sentence 2 fails twice, the Buyer may, at his option, demand a reduction or withdraw from the contract. In the event of rectification, the Buyer shall bear the increased costs arising from the fact that the goods were taken to a place other than the place of performance, provided that the transfer does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

9. extended retention of title
The seller retains title to the goods vis-à-vis buyers who are not consumers until all claims arising from the current business relationship have been settled in full.
. Before the transfer of ownership of the goods subject to retention of title, the buyer who is not a consumer is not entitled to pledge or assign the item as security. He assigns all claims from the resale of goods to the seller, but remains authorized to collect the claim. The Seller accepts the assignment and reserves the right to collect the claim himself if the Buyer, who is not a consumer, fails to meet payment obligations in due time. If the reserved goods are combined and mixed, the Seller shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing. The Seller undertakes to release securities to which it is entitled at the request of the Buyer who is not acting as a consumer to the extent that the value of the securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released shall be incumbent upon the Seller.

10. online dispute resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS platform), which you can find at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
11. Place of performance, place of jurisdiction
If the Buyer is acting as a consumer and has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is brought, the place of jurisdiction shall be the Seller's place of business. The right to also call upon the court at another legal place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
