The inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 These General Terms and Conditions apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of physical data carriers that serve exclusively as carriers of digital content, unless otherwise stipulated. Digital content within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is data that is created and provided in digital form.
1.3 These General Terms and Conditions apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise stipulated.
1.4 A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be predominantly attributed to either their commercial or independent professional activity.
1.5 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but rather serve to make a binding offer by the customer.
2.2 The customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. 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 on the button that completes the ordering process. The customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax or email.
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 email), 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 placing their order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives are present, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer 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 is considered a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 If you select a payment method offered by PayPal, payment is 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, 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 conditions 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 payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected during the online ordering process, the seller declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the moment the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.
2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the contract text is saved by the seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. The seller will not make the contract text available 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 providing the relevant login details.
2.6 Before bindingly submitting 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 of better detecting input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. As part of the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that completes the ordering process.
2.7 The German and English languages are available for concluding the contract.
2.8 Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address he provided to process the order is correct so that emails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.
2.9 The following conditions also apply to contracts for the supply of weapons:
2.9.1 When ordering goods that are covered by the Weapons Act of the Federal Republic of Germany (WaffG), the customer must be of legal age. Customers who want to purchase weapons and ammunition that are listed in Appendix 2 of the Weapons Act as weapons and ammunition requiring a license must have a purchase permit. The seller points out in the respective item description if it is a product that is covered by the Weapons Act or that requires authorization within the meaning of Annex 2 of the Weapons Act.
2.9.2 When ordering goods covered by the Weapons Act, the customer assures by submitting his order that he is at least 18 years old and that his name and address details are correct. The customer further undertakes that only he or she will receive the goods. The goods will only be handed over if the customer's age and authentication have been successfully verified.
2.9.3 When ordering goods that require a license under the Weapons Act, proof of the purchase license must also be provided. Goods requiring authorization are only sold and delivered upon presentation of a valid original purchase permit or as a publicly (officially or notarized) certified copy of all labeled pages. The goods will only be handed over if the customer's age and authentication have been successfully verified.
3) Right of withdrawal
3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.
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 the contract is concluded and whose sole place of residence and delivery address is outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.
4) Prices and payment terms
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices stated are total prices and include statutory sales tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs that may arise 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 must be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money through credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may be incurred in relation to the money transfer even if the delivery does not take place 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.
4.5 If you select the payment method “SOFORT”, payment is processed via the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter “SOFORT”). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via “SOFORT”, the customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in “SOFORT”, identify themselves accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to “SOFORT”. The payment transaction will be carried out immediately afterwards by “SOFORT” and the customer’s bank account will be debited. The customer can find further information about the “SOFORT” payment method online at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.
4.6 If you select the SEPA direct debit payment method, the invoice amount is due for payment after a SEPA direct debit mandate has been issued, but not before the deadline for advance information has expired. The direct debit is collected when the ordered goods leave the seller's warehouse, but not before the deadline for advance information has expired. Pre-notification is any communication (e.g. invoice, policy, contract) from the seller to the customer that announces a charge using SEPA direct debit. If the direct debit is not honored due to insufficient account funds or due to incorrect bank details being provided, or if the customer objects to the debit even though he is not authorized to do so, the customer must bear the fees resulting from the chargeback from the respective credit institution if he is responsible for this.
5) Delivery and shipping conditions
5.1 If the seller offers to ship the goods, delivery will take place 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 is decisive.

5.3 If 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 with regard to the shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises the right of cancellation, the return shipping costs will be subject to the provisions set out in the seller's cancellation policy.
5.4 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold passes to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the freight carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold is generally only transferred when the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Deviating from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold, even for consumers, passes to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the freight carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the The customer commissions the freight forwarder, the freight forwarder or the other person or institution 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.
5.5 The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper delivery. This only applies in the event that the non-delivery is not the fault of the seller and the seller has concluded a specific cover transaction with the supplier with due care. The seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.
5.6 If the seller offers the goods for collection, the customer can collect the ordered goods within the business hours specified by the seller at the address specified by the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

The buyer acknowledges that it is their responsibility to be aware of and comply with their local import laws and regulations. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Failure to pay these charges may result in delays, non-delivery, or return of the package.
6) Retention of title
If the seller makes advance payments, he reserves 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 regulations, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:
7.2 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,
- the seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
- For new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
- In the case of used goods, rights and claims due to defects are excluded;
- the statute of limitations does not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

7.5 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB, he is subject to the commercial obligation to investigate and report complaints in accordance with § 377 HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the reporting obligations regulated there, the goods are deemed to have been approved.
7.6 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is asked to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply with this, this will have no impact on his legal or contractual claims for defects.
