General Terms and Conditions of osteolabs GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "osteolabs")

§1 Applicability to entrepreneurs and definition of terms

(1) The following General Terms and Conditions apply to all deliveries between us and a customer in the version valid at the time of the order. These General Terms and Conditions form the basis of all offers and agreements between osteolabs and the customer and are deemed to be accepted for the duration of the entire business relationship. Conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the purchaser are only binding if osteolabs has acknowledged them in writing.

§2 Conclusion of a contract, storage of the contract text

(1) The following regulations regarding the conclusion of a contract apply to orders placed via our internet shop http://www.osteolabs.de.

(2) In the event of the conclusion of a contract, the contract is concluded with osteolabs GmbH Wischhofstr. 1-3 D-24148 Kiel.

(3) The presentation of the goods in our online shop does not represent a legally binding offer of contract on our part, but is only a non-binding invitation to the consumer to order goods. By ordering the desired goods, the consumer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract.

The acceptance of the offer shall be made in writing or in text form or by sending the ordered goods within one week. After the unsuccessful expiry of this period, the offer shall be deemed to have been rejected.

(4) Upon receipt of an order in our Internet shop, the following regulations shall apply: The consumer makes a binding offer to enter into a contract by successfully completing the order procedure provided in our online shop.

Before the binding submission of the order, the consumer can return to the Internet page on which the customer's details are recorded and correct input errors or cancel the order process by closing the Internet browser by pressing the "Back" button contained in the Internet browser used by him after checking his details. We confirm receipt of the order immediately by an automatically generated email (confirmation of receipt). This does not constitute acceptance of the offer. The acceptance of the offer shall be made in writing, in text form or by sending the ordered goods.

(5) Storage of the contract text for orders via our online shop: We will send you the order data and our General Terms and Conditions by email. You can also view the GTC at any time at http://www.osteolabs.de/agb.

(6) The conclusion of the contract is subject to timely and complete self-delivery. This reservation does not apply in the event of short-term delivery disruptions or if osteolabs is responsible for the non-delivery, in particular if osteolabs fails to conclude a congruent hedging transaction in due time. The customer shall be informed immediately of the non-availability of the service. If the counter-performance has been rendered by the customer, this will be refunded.

§3 Prices, shipping costs, payment, due date

(1) The stated prices include the statutory value added tax and other price components. The shipping costs are borne by osteolabs.

(2) The consumer has the option of payment in advance, PayPal, online bank transfer. Osteolabs reserves the right to limit the payment methods between which a customer can choose depending on the order value, shipping region or other objective criteria.

(3) The purchase price and shipping costs are due immediately without deduction. If the consumer has chosen payment in advance, he undertakes to pay the purchase price immediately after conclusion of the contract. If we deliver cash on delivery, the purchase price claim shall become due upon receipt of the goods.

§4 Delivery

(1) Unless we have clearly stated otherwise in the product description, all items offered by us are generally ready for dispatch within one week.

 

(2) If the consumer has chosen payment in advance, we will not dispatch the goods before receipt of payment.

(3) If the method of payment selected by the customer cannot be carried out despite contractual execution on the part of osteolabs, in particular because a debit from the customer's account is not possible due to a lack of funds in the customer's account or due to the provision of incorrect data, the customer must reimburse osteolabs or the third party commissioned by osteolabs with the processing for the additional costs incurred as a result.

(4) osteolabs is entitled to use the services of trustworthy third parties for the processing of the payment:

a) In the event of default of payment by the client, osteolabs may assign its claims to a collection agency and transfer the personal data required for the processing of payment to this third party.

b) In the event of the involvement of third parties in the payment processing, the payment in relation to osteolabs shall only be deemed to have been made when the amount has been made available to the third party in accordance with the contract, so that the third party can dispose of it without restriction.

§5 Retention of title

We retain ownership of the goods until the purchase price has been paid in full. If the customer is a merchant in the sense of the German Commercial Code (HGB), osteolabs retains ownership of all delivery items until all payments from the business relationship have been received.

§6 Warranty

(1) Information, drawings, illustrations, technical data, descriptions of weight, dimensions and performance contained in brochures, catalogues, circulars, advertisements or price lists are for information purposes only. osteolabs does not assume any warranty for the correctness of this information. With regard to the type and scope of delivery, only the information contained in the order confirmation is decisive.

(2) Insofar as a defect subject to warranty exists, the customer is entitled within the framework of the statutory provisions to demand subsequent performance, to withdraw from the contract or to reduce the purchase price.

(3) In the event of returns due to defects, osteolabs will also bear the postage costs.

(4) Data communication via the internet cannot be guaranteed to be error-free and/or available at all times according to the current state of technology. osteolabs is therefore not liable for the constant and uninterrupted availability of the online offer.

(5) The claims of the client arising from the warranty presuppose that the client, insofar as the client is a merchant, has fulfilled its obligations to examine the goods and give notice of defects in accordance with § 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

(6) The limitation period for warranty claims for the delivered goods is two years from receipt of the goods. If the customer is an entrepreneur, the limitation period is one year.

§7 Limitation of liability

(1) The liability of osteolabs is otherwise governed by the statutory provisions, unless otherwise stipulated in these General Terms and Conditions of Business and Delivery. osteolabs is liable for damages, regardless of the legal grounds, only in the case of intent and gross negligence without limitation. In addition, osteolabs has unlimited liability for damages arising from injury to life, limb or health in the case of simple negligence. In the case of simple negligence and the violation of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), the liability of osteolabs is limited to the compensation of the foreseeable, typically occurring damage. Liability according to the Product Liability Act remains unaffected by the above regulations.

(2) Insofar as the liability of osteolabs is excluded or limited in these General Terms and Conditions of Business and Delivery, this also applies to the personal liability for damages of the employees, representatives and vicarious agents of osteolabs.
