I. Scope of application and definitions

  1. These general terms and conditions of ESBT GmbH apply to all contracts that are concluded online with us, among others under www.esbt.one, www.esbt.shop or www.esbt-shop.com. Adverse contractual terms or contractual terms of the client diverging from our general terms and conditions only apply if we have expressly agreed to them.
  2. A consumer in terms of these general terms and conditions is each individual person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly cannot be attributed neither to his/her commercial nor his/her self-employed professional activity.
  3. Entrepreneurs in terms of these general terms and conditions are individual or legal persons or partnerships having legal capacity that act in the exercise of their commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding contracts with us.
  4. These terms and conditions apply accordingly to the purchase of vouchers if and unless otherwise expressly regulated.

II. Offer and conclusion of contracts

  1. Our offers exclusively address to persons of age and having unlimited legal capacity.
  2. The presentation of the goods, especially in the online shop, does not yet constitute a binding offer by the seller.
  3. First, the customer places the selected goods in the shopping cart. In the next step, the ordering process begins, in which all data required for order processing are recorded. At the end of the ordering process, a summary of the order and contract data appears. Only after confirming this order and contract data by clicking on the button that concludes the ordering process, the customer makes a binding offer to purchase the goods in the shopping cart.
  4. The seller accepts the customer’s offer through the following possible alternatives:
      • Sending a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), or
      • Request for payment to the customer after placing the order, or
      • Delivery of the ordered goods.

    The first alternative that occurs is decisive for the time of acceptance. 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 constitutes a rejection of the offer. The customer is then no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

  5. The contract text of the contract concluded between the seller and the customer is saved by the seller. The contract text is stored on the seller’s internal systems. The customer can view the general terms and conditions at any time on this page. The order data, the cancellation policy and the general terms and conditions are sent to the customer by email. After completing the order, the contract text is available to the customer free of charge via his customer login, provided that the customer has opened a customer account.
  6. All entries made are displayed before the order button is clicked and can be viewed by the customer before sending the order and corrected by pressing the back button of the browser or the usual mouse and keyboard functions. In addition, buttons are available to the customer for correction, if available, which are labeled accordingly.
  7. The contract language is either German or English.
  8. It is up to the customer to provide a correct email address for contacting and processing the order, as well as to set the filter functions so that emails relating to this order can be delivered.

III. Delivery

  1. The delivery of goods by dispatch takes place to the delivery address specified by the customer. Deviating from this, the delivery address stored by the customer at PayPal at the time of payment is decisive for payment via PayPal.
  2. If the client is obliged to advance payment, the performance times/delivery delays mentioned in the offers depend on the fact that the client has made the payment directly after conclusion of the contract.
  3. If possible, the delivery is effected in one shipment. We are entitled to partial deliveries and partial performance, however, if these are acceptable to the client. Additional costs arising from partial deliveries are borne by us.
  4. Delivery dates indicated are no fixed dates, unless we have explicitely confirmed such a date as fixed date.
  5. Due to delays in delivery occurring in our company or in the company of one of our sub-contractor/sub-supplier due to force majeure or due to conditions similar to force majeure (such as measures concerning monetary and trade policy or other official measures, strikes, business disruptions such as fire, engine failures, breaks, shortage of raw materials or energy) we are entitled to postpone the delivery by the duration of the obstruction. If the realization of the contract becomes unacceptable for the client because of the delay, he is entitled to resign. In case of obstructions to performance that are not only temporary, we are entitled to resign from the contract.
  6. If the seller incurs additional costs due to the specification of a wrong delivery address or a wrong addressee or other circumstances that lead to the impossibility of delivery, these are to be reimbursed by the customer, unless he is not responsible for the incorrect information or impossibility. The same applies in the event that the customer was temporarily prevented from accepting the service, unless the seller has adequately announced the service beforehand. The costs of sending the goods are excluded from this rule if the customer has effectively exercised his right of withdrawal. Here it remains with the legal regulation or the regulation made by the seller.
  7. Pickup is not offered.
  8. Vouchers are given to the customer in the following form:
    • by email
    • by post

IV. Prices and payment terms

The payment is carried out by “SOFORT” immediately after the payment process has been completed and the customer’s bank account is debited.

V. Right of withdrawal

  1. If the customer is a consumer, he is generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.
  2. The seller’s revocation policy applies to the right of withdrawal.

VI. Right of retention and retention of title

  1. The client is only entitled to the exercise of a right of retention if his/her counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
  2. As far as the seller provide advance deliveries of goods, the goods remain the property of the seller until the purchase price has been paid in full.. If third parties take hold of the goods subject to retention of title, the client will point out to our property and will inform us immediately.

VII. Non-availability of the performance

  1. Each offer is subject to punctual and correct supply to ourselves. If the ordered goods are not available, because we do not obtain the goods from our supplier not resulting from our failure and what we could not foresee when concluding the contract, we are entitled to resign from the contract. In this case, we will inform the client immediately that a delivery is not possible and will immediately pay back to him/her the purchase price possibly already paid. This right vis-à-vis consumer only exists if we have concluded a concrete cover transaction and if the supplier did not deliver us by surprise.
  2. Any liability for damages for non-performance is excluded, if we have not acted grossly negligent or deliberate as to the lack of availability. A possible liability due to pre-contractual default remains unaffected.

VIII. Liability and liability of defects

  1. With regard to the warranty, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply, unless otherwise agreed in these terms and conditions.
  2. The customer is asked to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller thereof. Failure to comply has no effect whatsoever on the customer’s statutory or contractual claims for defects.
  3. If the client is an entrepreneur, our liability in case of non-intentional acts is restricted to the typically foreseeable damage at the conclusion of the contract. In case of slight negligence, we are only liable in case of violation of essential contractual obligations and our liability is restricted to the typically foreseeable damage at the conclusion of the contract. We are not liable for other damages caused by slight negligence due to a default of the goods. These restrictions do not apply in case of violation of life, body and health. A possible violation because of pre-contractual default or according to the product liability law remains unaffected by these liability restrictions.
  4. If the client is a consumer, we are only liable in case of slight negligence in case of the violation of an essential contractual obligation and restricted to the typically foreseeable damage at the conclusion of the contract. We are not liable for other damages caused by slight negligence due to a default of the goods. These restrictions do not apply in case of violation of life, body and health. A possible violation because of pre-contractual default or according to the product liability law remains unaffected by these liability restrictions.
  5. Irrespective of a default, we are only liable in case of fraudulent concealment of a deficiency or due to assuming a guarantee or a warranty. A manufacturer’s warranty is a warranty of the manufacturer and does not represent the assumption of a guarantee by us.
  6. We are also responsible for the impossibility of the delivery occurring during the delay by chance, unless the damage would have occurred in case of a punctual delivery.
  7. If the liability for damages is excluded or restricted towards our company, this also applies to the personal liability for damages of our employees, colleagues, assistants, representatives and vicarious agents.

IX. Redeeming of vouchers

  1. Vouchers that have been purchased through the seller’s online shop (“gift vouchers”) can only be redeemed in the seller’s online shop.

  6. Credit on gift vouchers will not be paid out and no interest will be charged.
  7. Gift vouchers are generally transferable. The seller can make a discharge to the customer who redeems the respective gift voucher. This does not apply if the seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the possible non-authorization, legal incapacity or lack of authorization of the respective owner.

X. Redeeming of campaign vouchers

  1. Vouchers that the seller gives free of charge as part of (advertising) campaigns with a certain period of validity and that the customer cannot purchase (“promotion vouchers”) can only be redeemed in the seller’s online shop and only within the period specified by the seller.

  7. The credit of a campaign voucher is neither paid out nor interest.

  2. If the customer is based outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller’s place of business is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract, if this contract or claims from this contract can be attributed to the customer’s professional or commercial activity. However, in the aforementioned cases, the seller is also entitled to call the court at the customer’s registered office.

XIII. Final provisions

  1. If single clauses of this agreement become completely or partly ineffective or void, the effectiveness of the other provisions remains unaffected.
  2. The ineffective provision is to be replaced as soon as possible by another provision that comes closest to the economic content of the ineffective provision.
