General Terms & Conditions

 

1) Scope of Application

1.1 These Terms and Conditions of cme4u GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") shall apply to all contracts concluded between an entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as "Client”) and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services presented in the online shop of the Seller. The inclusion of the Customer's own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated .
1.2 The present General Terms and Conditions shall also apply exclusively, if the Seller performs the order without reservation, in the knowledge that the Client’s terms and conditions may conflict with or deviate from their own.

2) Conclusion of the Contract

2.1 The product descriptions displayed in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but are merely descriptions which allow the client to submit a binding offer

2.2 The Client may submit the offer using the online order form integrated into the Seller's online shop. By clicking the button finalizing the order process, after having placed the goods and/or services selected in the virtual shopping basket and passed through the electronic ordering process, the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the shopping basket.

2.3 The Seller may accept the Client’s offer within five days in one of the following manners:
- by transmitting a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in written form (fax or e-mail) to the Client, insofar as the receipt of the order confirmation by the Client is decisive, or
- by delivering ordered goods to the Client, insofar as the receipt of goods by the Client is decisive, or
- by requesting the customer to pay after submitting his order, or
- provided direct debit payment is offered and the Client chooses this payment method, by collecting the total price directly from the Client’s account, insofar as the time of debiting the Client’s account is decisive.
The contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs . Should the Seller not accept the Client's offer within the aforementioned period of time, this shall be deemed as rejecting the offer, with the effect that the Client is no longer bound by his statement of intent.

2.4 In case of an order via the seller's online order form, the contract text is stored and sent to the client in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the posting of his order in addition to the available General Terms and Conditions. However, after posting his order, the contract text can no longer be called by the client on the seller's website.

2.5 Prior to submitting his binding order via the online order form of the Seller, the Client can correct all the data entered via the usual keyboard and mouse function. In addition, prior to submitting the order, all data entered will be displayed in a confirmation window and can be corrected here as well, via the usual keyboard and mouse function.

2.6 The German and English language are exclusively available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.7 Order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. It is the Client' responsibility to ensure that the e-mail address he provides for the order processing is accurate so that e-mails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. Particularly, it is the Client's responsibility, if SPAM filters are used, to ensure that all e-mails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller with the order processing can be delivered.

2.8 In the event of stipulation of special conditions by the parties, the aforesaid special conditions do not apply to contractual relationships running simultaneously and in the future with the Client.

3.4 The Client has to return the goods or deliver them without delay and in any case the latest within 14 days from the day he has given notice to the Seller that he has cancelled the contract.

This includes for example transfer fees charged by banking institutes (transfer charges, exchange fees) or import duties or taxes (customs). Such costs regarding money transfer may also incur, if delivery is not made in a country outside the European Union and the Client carries out the payment from a country outside the European Union.

6.2 The transmission of content to third parties or the production of copies to third parties in a way not covered by the GTC is prohibited, unless the Seller has consented to the transfer of the contractual license to third parties.

6.3 The granting of rights pursuant to section 158 (1) German Civil Law Code will only become effective, if the Client has paid the contractually stipulated compensation in full. The Seller may allow the use of the contractual contents temporarily prior to this date. A transfer of rights does not take place via such a provisional permission.

7) Force Majeure

In cases of force majeure having an impact on the performance of the contract, the Seller is entitled to postpone the delivery for the duration of the hindrance and, in the event of a longer-term impediment, to withdraw from the contract without giving rise to claims asserted against him by the Client. The term “force majeure” shall mean any event which is unforeseeable for the Seller; or any event, even if it were foreseeable, would be beyond the control of the Seller, and whose impact on the performance of the contract could not therefore be averted despite reasonable efforts made by the Seller. Possible legal claims of the Client remain unaffected.

8) Delay in Performance

8.1 In case of delay in performance, the Client is entitled to withdraw from the contract within the framework of the statutory provisions provided that the Seller bears the responsibility of delay.

8.2 In the event of default on the part of the Seller, the Client is obliged to give notice within a reasonable period of time, whether he wishes to withdraw from the contract or insists on the delivery being carried out.

8.3 If shipping is delayed at the request of the Client for more than one month after he has been duly notified of the readiness for shipment, the Client will be charged a monthly fee for the storage costs to the amount of 0,5% of the goods to be delivered, however, these fees shall not amount to more than 5% of the total price.

9) Reservation of Title

9.1 The Seller reserves the right of ownership of the delivered goods until complete payment of the purchase price has been effected. In addition, the Seller reserves the right of ownership of the goods until all his claims arising from his business relationship with the Client are met.

9.2 Goods under reservation of title may neither be pledged nor transferred by way of security. The Client, in his capacity as a reseller, is only allowed to resell in the normal course of business on condition that the Client’s claims against his customers arising from the resale will be assigned effectively to the Seller and the ownership of the goods will be transferred under the condition of payment. By concluding a contract, the Client assigns his claims against his customers arising from those sales to the Seller by way of security. The Seller accepts that assignment simultaneously.

9.3 The Client has to give notice to the Seller immediately, if he has access to goods belonging or co-belonging to the Seller or to claims assigned. He has to pay to the Seller any amounts assigned to the Seller he has collected, insofar as the Seller’s claims are due.

9.4 Insofar as the value of the Seller’s security rights exceeds the amount of the secured claims by more than 10%, the Seller will release a corresponding part of his security rights at the Client’s request.

- In cases of intent or gross negligence, or
- in cases of negligent or willful physical injury or negligent or willful injury of life, body or health of a person, or,
- on the grounds of a warranty promise, unless otherwise agreed,or,
- on the grounds of compulsory statutory liability as defined, for example, in the product liability law.

10.2 If the Seller has violated essential contractual obligations through negligence, his liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical of the contract, unless unlimited liability applies pursuant to section 10, para 1. Essential contractual obligations are those obligations the contract imposes on the Seller which are material to the contract and whose fulfillment makes the due performance of the contract possible and on the performance of which the Client normally relies and is intended to rely.

10.3 Otherwise, the Seller’s liability is excluded.

10.4 The aforementioned liability provisions will also apply in the case of the Seller’s liability for his assistants and legal representatives.
