1 Scope of application

1.1 These general terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") constitute the exclusive basis for all legal relationships established between you as a customer (hereinafter also referred to as "Buyer") and us, ggh GmbH, Mühlenstraße 74, 25421 Pinneberg, Germany (hereinafter referred to as "Seller").
ggh GmbH, Mühlenstraße 74, 25421 Pinneberg (hereinafter referred to as "Seller"). The inclusion of the Buyer's own terms and conditions is objected to unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These GTC shall apply mutatis mutandis to contracts for the supply of digital content, unless otherwise expressly agreed. Digital content within the meaning of these GTC is all data not on a physical data carrier that is produced in digital form and made available by the Seller with the granting of rights of use specified in more detail in these GTC.

1.3 Buyers may be consumers or entrepreneurs. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his or her commercial nor to his or her independent professional activity. (§ 13 BGB). An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership endowed with the capacity to acquire rights and incur liabilities who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his or her commercial or self-employed activity (§ 14 BGB).

2 Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained on the Seller's website do not constitute binding offers, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by the Buyer. A contract between the Seller and the Buyer shall not be concluded until the Seller has confirmed the Buyer's order.

2.2 The Buyer may place goods for purchase in the shopping cart on the Website by clicking the "Add to Cart" button. In the shopping basket on the overview page, in order to proceed with the purchase, the Buyer then has the choice of logging in as an already registered Buyer ("I am a Customer") or registering as a (new) Customer for the purpose of placing the order.
If the buyer is not yet registered as a customer, he/she must provide information on his/her name, address and e-mail address, among other things.
In a further step via the button "Continue", the buyer is taken to the overview page "Payment method & shipping method", where the customer has to select the payment method and shipping method. In a final step, which is reached again by clicking the "Next" button, an overview page under the heading "Check and Order" displays the items placed for purchase as well as the selected payment and shipping method, also to identify input errors.
By clicking on the cross ("X") behind the respective item, an item can be removed from the shopping basket at any time. By clicking on the "Change" functions, calling up the general "Back" function in his Internet browser and/or by going back to the order steps already completed in the ordering process, the buyer can correct input errors in the order details.
If the Buyer wishes to purchase the goods in the shopping basket, the purchase process is started by clicking on the button "Buy now", or, if the payment method Paypal is selected, "PayPal Buy now", whereby the Buyer submits a binding offer to the Seller.

2.3 After receipt of the order, the Seller sends the Buyer an automatically generated confirmation of receipt, which does not yet constitute acceptance of the offer, but merely serves to inform the Buyer of the receipt of the order. A contract is only concluded when the Seller declares acceptance of the contract. The seller may accept the buyer's offer within a maximum of five days,
- by sending a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail) to the buyer, the receipt of the order confirmation by the buyer being decisive, or
- by delivering the ordered goods, in which case the receipt of the goods by the buyer is decisive, or
- by requesting payment from the buyer.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives are fulfilled, the contract shall be 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 buyer 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 Buyer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Buyer shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.

2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the 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, 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 declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button to complete the ordering process.

2.5 The delivery to be made by the Seller is subject to complete and timely delivery to the Seller. If the ordered goods are no longer available and/or can only be procured at unreasonable expense, the Seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the Seller shall immediately notify the Buyer of the unavailability and reimburse any payments received for the goods concerned.

10.3 Warranty claims shall become statute-barred within 12 months from the time of the transfer of risk. The rights of the entrepreneur under §§ 478, 479 remain unaffected. The reduction of the warranty period to one year shall also not apply if the obligation to pay compensation is based on bodily injury or damage to health due to a defect for which the Seller is responsible or on gross negligence on the part of the Seller or its vicarious agents and/or insofar as the relevant defect was fraudulently concealed and/or insofar as the Seller has assumed special guarantees in the form of a manufacturer's warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be liable under the Product Liability Act.
10.4 If the Buyer is a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he shall notify the Seller of any defects without undue delay, but no later than one week after receipt of the goods. Defects which cannot be discovered within this period even after careful inspection shall be notified in writing immediately after discovery.

11 Liability
11.1 The Seller shall be liable without limitation for damage caused by the Seller, its employees and vicarious agents intentionally or through gross negligence, in the event of fraudulent concealment of defects, in the event of the assumption of a guarantee of quality and for damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health.
11.2 The Seller shall only be liable for other damages if an obligation is breached, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligation) and if the damages are typical and foreseeable due to the contractual use of the services. Any liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.
11.3 Any liability of the Seller beyond the foregoing is excluded.

12. retention of title
12.1 The goods shall remain the property of the Seller until payment has been made in full.

13.3 The granting of rights shall only become effective when the Buyer has paid the contractually owed remuneration in full. The Seller may provisionally permit the use of the contractual content even before this point in time. Such provisional permission shall not constitute a transfer of rights.

14. final provisions

14.1 The Seller shall not recognise any general terms and conditions of business or contract of the Buyer that conflict with or deviate from these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery unless their application is expressly agreed in writing. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery shall also apply if the Seller carries out the delivery to the Buyer without reservation in the knowledge of terms and conditions of the Buyer that conflict with or deviate from these Terms and Conditions of Sale.
14.2 In commercial transactions, the parties agree that the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising in connection with the performance of this contract shall be the registered office of the Seller. The Seller's registered office shall also be the place of jurisdiction for non-commercial transactions if the Buyer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or relocates its place of residence or habitual abode outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany after conclusion of the contract. This shall also apply in the event that the place of residence or habitual abode of the Buyer is unknown at the time the action is brought.
14.3 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. In relation to consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted is not thereby withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence. Furthermore, this choice of law does not apply with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal vis-à-vis 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.

The customer can access the platform under the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.Wir are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before consumer arbitration boards.
