1) Scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of the company ASP-Galeriebedarf GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") shall apply to all contracts concluded between afor the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "customer") concludes with the seller with regard to the goods presented by the seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be predominantly attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC 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) 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 the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping basket and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, e-mail, post or online contact form.

2.3 The seller can 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 in this respect, 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 the customer has placed the order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in 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 at the end 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 shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment shall be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 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 terms and 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 pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.5 If the payment method "Amazon Payments" is selected, payment is processed via the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, which can be viewed at https://payments.amazon.de/help/201751590. If the customer selects "Amazon Payments" as the payment method during the online ordering process, the customer also issues a payment order to Amazon by clicking the button that concludes the order process. In this case, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the point in time at which the customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button concluding the order process.

2.6 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is 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 customer's order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.

2.7 Before submitting a binding order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can recognise possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means of better recognising input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on 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 generally carried out by e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) Right of cancellation

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of cancellation.

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

3.3 The right of cancellation does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time the contract is concluded and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.

4) Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

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

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

4.5 If the payment method "SOFORT" is selected, payment is processed via the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter referred to as "SOFORT"). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", legitimise themselves accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then immediately executed by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account is debited. The customer can find more information on the "SOFORT" payment method on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.

4.6 If the payment method purchase on account is selected, the purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price must be paid within 7 (seven) days of receipt of the invoice without deduction, unless otherwise agreed. The seller reserves the right to offer the payment method purchase on account only up to a certain order volume and to reject this payment method if the specified order volume is exceeded. In this case, the seller will inform the customer of a corresponding payment restriction in his payment information in the online shop. The seller also reserves the right to carry out a credit check when selecting the payment method purchase on account and to reject this payment method if the credit check is negative.

5) Delivery and dispatch conditions

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed, goods shall be delivered by dispatch to the delivery address specified by the customer. The delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive for the processing of the transaction.

5.2 Goods that are delivered by a forwarding agent are delivered "free kerbside", i.e. to the public kerbside nearest to the delivery address, unless otherwise stated in the shipping information in the seller's online shop and unless otherwise agreed.

5.3 If the 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 with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation, the provision in the seller's cancellation policy shall apply to the return costs.

5.4 The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care. The seller shall make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.

5.5 In the case of collection by the customer, the seller shall first inform the customer by e-mail that the goods ordered by the customer are ready for collection. After receiving this e-mail, the customer can collect the goods from the seller's registered office by arrangement with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payment, he shall retain title to 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 provisions of statutory liability for defects shall apply.

7.2 If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer fails to do so, this shall have no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) Applicable law

8.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.

8.2 Furthermore, with regard to the statutory right of cancellation, this choice of law does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time the contract is concluded and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.

9) Place of jurisdiction

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

10) Code of Conduct
