1) Scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of German eTrade GmbH (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") with the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These GTC apply mutatis mutandis to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly stated otherwise.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.

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 for the submission of 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. In doing so, after placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process.

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, or
• by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
• by asking the Customer to pay after submitting his order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the Customer sends the offer and ends with the expiry 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 is deemed to be 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 processing is carried out by 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 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 using a PayPal payment method selectable in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract will be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent his order. The Seller will not make the text of the contract accessible 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.

2.6 Before placing a binding order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the browser's zoom function, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The Customer can correct his entries within the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.7 The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 Order processing and contact usually take place via 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 Withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are entitled to a right of withdrawal according to the following provisions, whereby a consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor their independent professional activity:

3.2 You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, took possession of the last goods.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (German eTrade GmbH, FLGNTLT, Antonstrasse 3c, 01097 Dresden, Germany, Email: shop@flgntlt.com) by means of a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or email) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. 

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

3.3 If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in no event will you incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back or hand over the goods to us or to FLGNTLT German eTrade GmbH, Weststraße 61 09603 Großschirma, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of fourteen days has expired.

You will bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

3.4 Unless otherwise agreed, a right of withdrawal does not exist for contracts for the provision of services in connection with leisure activities, if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision. Accordingly, a right of withdrawal is also excluded for contracts that involve the sale of tickets for leisure events with a fixed date.

3.5 General Notes

1. Please avoid damage and contamination of the goods. Please return the goods to us in their original packaging with all accessories and all packaging components. If necessary, use protective outer packaging. If you no longer have the original packaging, please ensure adequate protection against transport damage with suitable packaging.
2. Please do not send the goods back to us freight collect.
3. Please note that the above paragraphs 1-2 are not a prerequisite for the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal.

4) Prices and payment terms

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices stated are total prices that include the statutory value-added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be stated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise 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 money transfers by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs can also arise in relation to money transfers 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 on a later due date.

In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the customer must have an online banking account enabled for participation in "SOFORT", identify themselves accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is carried out immediately thereafter by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account is debited. Further information on the "SOFORT" payment method can be found on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.

The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. Stripe may use other payment services for payment processing, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be separately informed. Further information on "Shopify Payments" can be found on the Internet at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de.

4.7 If the credit card payment method via Stripe is selected, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract.

5) Shipping and delivery conditions

5.1 The delivery of goods takes place by shipping to the delivery address specified by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. For the processing of the transaction, the delivery address specified in the Seller's order processing is decisive. Deviating from this, if PayPal is selected as the payment method, the delivery address stored by the Customer with PayPal at the time of payment is decisive.

5.2 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 to the costs for the shipment if the Customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. For the return costs, in the event of effective exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Customer, the regulation made in the Seller's withdrawal policy applies.

5.3 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

5.4 Vouchers will be sent to the Customer as follows:

6) Retention of title

If the Seller makes advance payment, he reserves ownership of 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 the statutory liability for defects apply.

7.2 The customer is requested to complain to the delivery person about goods delivered with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller thereof. Failure to do so has no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) Redemption of gift vouchers

8.1 Vouchers that can be purchased through the Seller's online shop (hereinafter "gift vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop, unless otherwise stated on the voucher.

8.2 Gift vouchers and remaining credit from gift vouchers can be redeemed until the end of the third year after the year of purchase of the voucher. Remaining credit will be credited to the customer until the expiry date.

8.4 Several gift vouchers can also be redeemed for one order.

8.5 Gift vouchers can only be used for the purchase of goods and not for the purchase of further gift vouchers.

8.6 If the value of the gift voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the Seller can be chosen to settle the difference.

8.7 The credit of a gift voucher will neither be paid out in cash nor accrue interest.

8.8 The gift voucher is intended exclusively for use by the person named on it. A transfer of the gift voucher to third parties is excluded. The Seller is entitled, but not obliged, to check the material entitlement of the respective voucher holder.

9) Applicable law

All legal relationships between the parties are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws on the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.

10) Place of jurisdiction

If the Customer acts as a merchant, legal entity under public law or special fund under public law with its seat in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the Seller's business seat. If the Customer has his seat outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller's business seat is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract, if the contract or claims from the contract can be attributed to the Customer's professional or commercial activity. In the aforementioned cases, however, the Seller is in any case entitled to appeal to the court at the Customer's seat.

11) Alternative dispute resolution

11.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
