General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic Provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you enter into with us as the provider (Erol Kaplan) via the website https://gewofit.de/. Unless otherwise agreed, any inclusion of your own terms that you may use is hereby rejected.

(2) "Consumer in the sense of the following regulations is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly not be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity. Entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a legally capable partnership that acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity when concluding a legal transaction."

§ 2 Conclusion of the Contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods .

(2) By listing the respective product on our website, we are making you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping cart system under the conditions specified in the item description. 

(3) The contract is concluded through the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping cart." You can access the "shopping cart" via the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After clicking the "Checkout" or "Continue to Order" button  (or similar designation) and after entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order details will be displayed to you as an order overview.

"As far as you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort, giropay) as a payment method, you will either be directed to the order overview page in our online shop or redirected to the website of the provider of the instant payment system."
"If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, please make the appropriate selection or enter your data there. Finally, the order details will be displayed to you on the provider's website of the instant payment system or after you have been redirected back to our online shop."

Before submitting the order, you have the opportunity to review, change (also using the "back" function of the internet browser), or cancel the order in the order overview.
(4) "Your inquiries for the creation of a quote are non-binding for you. We will provide you with a binding offer in text form (e.g., via email), which you can accept within 5 days (unless a different deadline is specified in the respective offer)."

(5) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is carried out by e-mail, partly automated. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have provided to us is correct, that the receipt of e-mails is technically ensured, and that it is not blocked by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Individually designed goods

(1) You provide us with the necessary suitable information, texts, or files required for the individual design of the goods via the online ordering system or by email without delay after the conclusion of the contract. Our possible specifications regarding file formats must be observed.

(2) You agree not to transmit any data whose content infringes the rights of third parties (in particular copyright, personal rights, trademark rights) or violates existing laws. You expressly indemnify us against all claims made by third parties in this context. This also includes the costs of the necessary legal representation in this context.

(3) We do not verify the transmitted data for content accuracy and therefore accept no liability for errors.

§ 4 Special Agreements on Offered Payment Methods

(2) Payment via Klarna
"In collaboration with the payment service provider Klarna Bank AB (publ) (Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden; 'Klarna'), we offer the following payment options. Payment is made to Klarna:"

(22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg; "PayPal"). The individual payment methods via "PayPal" will be displayed to you under a correspondingly labeled button on our website as well as during the online ordering process. For payment processing, "PayPal" may use additional payment services; if special payment conditions apply, you will be separately informed about them. For more information about "PayPal", please visit https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full.

§ 5 Right of Retention, Retention of Title

(1) "You can only exercise a right of retention to the extent that it concerns claims arising from the same contractual relationship."

(2)  The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following additionally applies:

a) We reserve ownership of the goods until all claims from the ongoing business relationship have been fully settled. Pledging or transferring ownership as security is not permitted before the transfer of ownership of the reserved goods.

b) You may resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims arising from the resale in the amount of the invoice total; we accept the assignment. You are still authorized to collect the claim. However, if you do not fulfill your payment obligations properly, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) In the case of connection and mixing of the reserved goods, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request to the extent that the realizable value of our securities exceeds the secured claim by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released is at our discretion.

§ 6 Warranty

(1) There are statutory liability rights for defects.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to immediately check the goods upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects, and transport damage, and to inform us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. Failure to do so will not affect your statutory warranty rights.

(3) Insofar as a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be considered agreed if you were informed of it before we submitted the declaration of contract and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed upon between the contracting parties.

(4) Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the warranty provisions set forth above shall apply differently:

a)  Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description are considered as agreed upon regarding the nature of the goods, not any other advertising, public promotions, or statements made by the manufacturer.

b)  In case of defects, we provide warranty at our discretion through rectification or replacement. If the rectification fails, you may choose to demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification is considered failed after an unsuccessful second attempt, unless something else arises particularly from the nature of the goods or the defect or from other circumstances. In the case of rectification, we are not required to bear the increased costs incurred by transporting the goods to a location other than the place of performance, provided that the transportation does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year from the delivery of the goods. The reduction of the period does not apply:

- for damages attributable to us caused by the violation of life, body, or health and in the case of intentionally or grossly negligently caused other damages;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in cases where items have been used in accordance with their usual purpose for a building and have caused its defects;
- in the case of statutory recourse claims that you have against us in connection with rights of defects.

§ 7 Choice of law

(1)  German law applies. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of their habitual residence (principle of favorability).

(2)  "The provisions of the UN Sales Law do not explicitly apply."
