1) Scope of the agreement
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”), trading as “Moshammer Group”(hereinafter referred to as “Seller”), shall apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) concludes with the Seller with regard to 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 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed.
1.3 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 his commercial or self-employed professional activity.
2) Conclusion of agreement
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 in 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 e-mail or by online contact form.
2.3 The Seller may 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, in which case 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 shall be concluded at the point in time at which 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 shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.
2.4 If the customer chooses a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “PayPal”), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available 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, available 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 completes the ordering process.
2.5 When an offer is made via the Seller’s online order form, the text of the contract shall be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent his order. The Seller shall 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 by the customer free of charge via his password-protected user account by providing the relevant login data.
2.6 Before bindingly placing the 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 enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button which completes the ordering process.
2.7 The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.8 Order processing and contacting usually take place 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 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 generally entitled to a right of revocation.
3.2 More detailed information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller’s instructions on withdrawal.
3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a Member State of the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.
3.4 The right of withdrawal requires that the goods are returned in full and in perfect condition.
The customer is obliged to return the goods in full, including all accessories (but not limited to manuals, spare parts, packaging materials, etc.). If parts of the goods are missing, the withdrawal shall be considered incomplete and will only be deemed completed once all missing parts have been returned.
The seller reserves the right to demand reasonable compensation for any reduction in value of the goods due to improper handling. This reduction in value may be deducted directly from the refund amount.
4) Prices and terms of payment
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller’s product description, the prices quoted are total prices which include the statutory value added tax. Additional delivery and shipping costs as well as any additional fees for the type of payment will be indicated separately in the shopping basket.
4.2 In the case of 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 prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment shall be due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.5 If a payment method offered via the payment service “Stripe” is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter “Stripe”). The individual payment methods offered via Stripe will be communicated to the customer in the seller’s online shop. Stripe may use other payment services for the processing of payments, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be informed separately. Further information on Stripe is available on the Internet at https://stripe.com/de.
4.6 If the direct debit payment method via Stripe is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: “Stripe”). In this case, Stripe will collect the invoice amount from the customer’s bank account after issuing a SEPA Direct Debit Mandate, but not before the expiry of the Pre-Notification period on behalf of the seller. Pre-notification is any communication (e.g. invoice, policy, contract) to the customer announcing a debit by SEPA Direct Debit. If the direct debit is not honoured due to insufficient funds in the account or due to the provision of incorrect bank details, or if the customer objects to the direct debit even though he is not entitled to do so, the customer shall bear the fees incurred by the respective credit institution as a result of the chargeback if he is responsible for this. The seller reserves the right to carry out a creditworthiness check when selecting the SEPA direct debit payment method and to reject this payment method in the event of a negative creditworthiness check.
4.7 If the credit card payment method via Stripe is selected, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. The payment is processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: “Stripe”). Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check and to refuse this payment method in the event of a negative credit check.
4.8 If a payment method offered via the “Klarna” payment service is selected, the payment will be processed via Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter: “Klarna”). Further information as well as Klarna’s terms and conditions in this regard can be found in the Seller’s payment information, which can be viewed at the following Internet address:

5) Terms of delivery and shipment
5.1 The images displayed on this website are for illustrative purposes only. The actual product may vary in appearance, color, and features from the illustrations. Errors and changes excepted.
5.2 If the Seller offers to ship the goods, delivery shall be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address specified by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the Seller’s order processing shall be decisive.
5.3 In the case of goods delivered by a forwarding agent, delivery shall be made “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.
5.4 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 shall not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation. In the event of an effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in the seller’s revocation instructions shall apply to the costs of returning the goods.
5.5 If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall in principle only pass to the customer or a person authorised to receive the goods when the goods are handed over to the customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer, even in the case of consumers, as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer commissions the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.
5.6 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, with due diligence, concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier. The Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer shall be informed immediately and the consideration shall be refunded without delay.
5.7 If the Seller offers the goods for collection, the Customer may collect the ordered goods within the business hours stated by the Seller at the address stated by the Seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.
5.8 If the customer has no possibility to dispose of the packaging material, he has the option to return the packaging material to the seller at any time.
5.9 Please inspect your package carefully before accepting it from the delivery person. Any damage, dents, creases, compressions, or surface cracks on the carton must be noted by the delivery person. If these damages are not noted by the delivery person, we are not liable for any damage to the product. Damage to the product must be reported and documented with pictures immediately upon receipt of the goods, but no later than within 24 hours.
5.10 Order Cancellation Fees
If a customer requests to cancel an order after it has been processed but before it has been shipped, a handling fee of 10% of the total order will be applied. This fee covers the administrative and processing costs incurred. Cancellations after shipment are subject to return shipping costs and a restocking fee of 15% of the total order.
6) Retention of title
If the seller makes advance payment, he shall retain ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.
7) Liability for defects (warranty)
7.1 Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply. This does not apply to contracts for the delivery of goods:
7.2 If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur,
the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects shall be one year from delivery of the goods;
in the case of used goods, the rights and claims for defects are excluded;
the limitation period does not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.
7.3 The above-mentioned limitations of liability and shortening of deadlines do not apply to
to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses of the customer,
in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
for goods which have been used in accordance with their customary use for a building and have caused its defectiveness,
for any existing obligation of the Seller to provide updates for digital products, in the case of contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.
7.4 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any statutory right of recourse that may exist shall remain unaffected.
7.5 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he shall be subject to the commercial duty of inspection and notification of defects pursuant to § 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved.
7.6 If the customer is acting as a consumer, he must carefully inspect the package before accepting it from the parcel deliverer. Any damage, dents or surface cracks in the carton must be noted by the parcel deliverer and the seller must be informed. If these damages are not noted and deposited by the parcel delivery person, the seller is not liable for damages to the product.
7.7 Manufacturer’s assembly instructions: Assembly should only be carried out by a specialist workshop or trained personnel! Failure to do so may result in serious damage to property and personal injury. If an individual chooses to carry out the installation on their own, as opposed to hiring a trained professional, they should be aware that this will completely exclude the statutory product liability and warranty. Therefore, you will be responsible for any consequences or damage resulting from improper installation.
8) Applicable law
8.1 All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
8.2 Furthermore, this choice of law with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a Member State of the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.
9) The alternative dispute resolution
The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts involving a consumer.
9.2 The Seller is not obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board, but is prepared to do so.
