1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of ariallo 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 displayed in the Seller's online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own 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 entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or self-employed professional activity.

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. 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 regarding the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes 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 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 requesting payment from the Customer after they have placed their order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. 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 considered a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.

2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the 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 user conditions, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/legalhub/paypal/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/legalhub/paypal/privacywax-full. If the Customer pays using a PayPal payment method selectable during the online ordering process, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer's offer at the time the Customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.5 When selecting the payment method "Amazon Payments", payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, which can be viewed at https://pay.amazon.de/help/201751590. If the Customer selects "Amazon Payments" as the payment method during the online ordering process, by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process, they simultaneously issue a payment order to Amazon. In this case, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer's offer at the time the Customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.6 When ordering via the Seller's online order form, the contract text will be saved by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent their order. The contract text will not be made accessible by the Seller beyond this. If the Customer has created a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending their order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the Customer via their password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.

2.7 Before submitting 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 identification of input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The Customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.8 The German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.9 Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the email address provided by them for order processing 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 for order processing can be delivered.

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.

4) Prices and Payment Conditions

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted 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 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop.

4.3 If payment in advance by bank transfer is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

4.4 If a payment method offered via the payment service "PayPal" is selected, the payment processing is carried out by PayPal, whereby PayPal may also use the services of third-party payment service providers. If the Seller also offers payment methods via PayPal for which it makes advance payments to the Customer (e.g., purchase on account or installment payment), it assigns its payment claim to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the Customer. Before accepting the Seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal carries out a credit check using the transmitted customer data. The Seller reserves the right to refuse the selected payment method to the Customer in the event of a negative check result. If the selected payment method is approved, the Customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or in the agreed payment intervals. In this case, the Customer can only make payment to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, even in the case of the assignment of claims, the Seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g., regarding the goods, delivery time, shipping, returns, complaints, declarations of withdrawal and shipments, or credits.

4.5 If the "Sofortüberweisung" (instant transfer) payment method is selected, payment processing is carried out by Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 11134 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter "Klarna"). To pay the invoice amount via "Sofortüberweisung", the Customer must have an online banking account activated for "Sofortüberweisung", legitimize themselves accordingly during the payment process, and confirm the payment instruction. The payment transaction is then carried out immediately by Klarna and the Customer's bank account is debited. Further information on the "Sofortüberweisung" payment method can be found on the internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/ .

4.6 If a payment method offered via the "Shopify Payments" payment service is selected, payment processing is carried out by 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 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 notified. Further information on "Shopify Payments" is available online at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de .

5) Delivery and Shipping Conditions

5.1 If the Seller offers shipping of the goods, delivery will be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address provided by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address specified in the Seller's order processing is decisive for the execution of the transaction.

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 shipping if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. For return costs, the provision in the Seller's cancellation policy applies if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal.

5.3 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the 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 sold goods generally only passes 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 sold goods also passes to the Customer in the case of consumers as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has commissioned the freight forwarder, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the Seller has not previously named this person or institution to the Customer.

5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This applies only if the non-delivery is not attributable to the Seller and the Seller has concluded a specific hedging 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.

5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

6) Retention of Title

If the Seller makes advance payments, they reserve title to the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price owed.

7) Liability for Defects (Warranty)

Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:

7.1 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 defect rights is one year from the delivery of the goods;
  • for used goods, the defect rights are excluded;
  • the limitation period does not begin anew if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

7.2 The limitations of liability and reductions in deadlines regulated above do not apply

  • for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the Customer,
  • in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
  • for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual use and have caused its defectiveness,
  • for any existing obligation of the Seller to provide updates for digital products, in contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.

7.3 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing statutory right of recourse remain unaffected.

7.4 If the Customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB (German Commercial Code), they are subject to the commercial duty to inspect and give notice of defects in accordance with § 377 HGB. If the Customer fails to comply with the duties of notification regulated therein, the goods are deemed to have been approved.

7.5 If the Customer acts as a consumer, they are requested to complain about goods delivered with obvious transport damage to the delivery person and to inform the Seller thereof. Failure to do so has no effect on their statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) Liability

The Seller is liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory, including tortious, claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:

8.1 The Seller is liable without limitation on any legal grounds

  • in case of intent or gross negligence,
  • in case of intentional or negligent injury to life, body or health,
  • due to a guarantee promise, unless otherwise regulated in this respect,
  • due to mandatory liability, such as under the Product Liability Act.

8.2 If the Seller negligently violates an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the contractually typical, foreseeable damage, unless liability is unlimited in accordance with the preceding paragraph. Essential contractual obligations are obligations that the contract imposes on the Seller according to its content to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the Customer can regularly rely.

8.3 Otherwise, the Seller's liability is excluded.

8.4 The foregoing liability regulations also apply with regard to the Seller's liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

9) Applicable Law

For all legal relationships between the parties, the law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the laws on the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence is not withdrawn.

10) Place of Jurisdiction

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

11) Alternative Dispute Resolution

The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
