The inclusion of the Customer's own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed predominantly to their commercial or independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

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 the offer using 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 contract offer in relation to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process. The customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, email or online contact form.

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 at which 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 sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his 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, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the conditions for payments without a PayPal account, which can be viewed 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, he or she also issues a payment order to PayPal by clicking the button that completes 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 completes the order process.

2.5 If the payment method "Amazon Payments" is selected, payment processing will be carried out via the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe sca, 5 Rue Plaetis, L-2338 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, which can be viewed at https://payments.amazon.de/help/201751590.

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 completes the ordering process.

The seller will not make the contract text available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online shop before sending 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 relevant login data.

2.7 Before submitting the 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 identifying input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which helps to enlarge the display on the screen. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.8 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.9 Order processing and contact are usually carried out via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address provided by him for order processing is correct so that emails sent by the seller can be received at this address.

5.1 The delivery of goods takes place by shipping to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive. Deviating from this, if the PayPal payment method is selected, the delivery address stored by the customer with PayPal at the time of payment is decisive.

5.2 If the transport company returns the goods to the seller because delivery to the customer was not possible, the customer will bear the costs of the unsuccessful shipment. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the circumstances that led to the impossibility of delivery or if he was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the seller had announced the service to him a reasonable time in advance. Furthermore, this does not apply with regard to the costs of delivery if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation, the provisions in the seller's cancellation policy apply to the return costs.
