1) SCOPE OF APPLICATION
1.1 These Terms and Conditions of the company INA KESS AG (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") shall apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services (hereinafter referred to as „Products“) presented in the Webshop. The inclusion of the Customer's own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated.
1.2 Regarding contracts for the delivery of vouchers, these Terms and Conditions apply accordingly, unless explicitly regulated otherwise.
1.3 A Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions is every natural person concluding a legal transaction for a purpose attributed neither to a mainly commercial nor a self-employed occupational activity.
1.4 The Seller reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions from time to time without prior notice. The Terms and Conditions in force at the time the contract is concluded, i.e. the date when the Seller confirms Customer’s order, shall apply.
2) CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT
2.1 The Product descriptions in the Webshop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but merely serve the purpose of submitting a binding offer by the Customer. The main characteristics of Products are shown in the Webshop on each Product page but may not exactly correspond to the real Products in terms of image and colours due to the internet browser or monitor used.
2.2 The Customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Webshop. In doing so, after having placed the selected Products in the virtual shopping cart and passed through the ordering process, and by clicking the button finalizing the order process, the Customer submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the Products contained in the shopping cart plus any additional charges which may apply. The Customer may also submit his offer to the Seller by telephone or email.
2.3 The Seller does not issue acceptances of orders but only confirms the entry of the Customer’s order. The Seller’s actual delivery shall constitute the Seller’s acceptance and shall determine the relevant subject matter and extent of the contract between the parties, also in cases of advance payment by the Customer, i.e. also if the Seller debits Customer’s credit card account indicated by the Customer.
2.4 Should the Seller not accept the Customer's offer, this shall be deemed as rejecting the offer with the effect that the Customer is no longer bound by his statement of intent. In this case the Seller refunds received advance payments to the Customer.
2.5 The Seller reserves the right to refuse Customer’s offer and not to deliver the ordered Products if they are not available from the Seller’s suppliers and/or manufacturers. The publication of specifications, scopes of delivery etc. in the Webshop shall by no means be legally binding; only the Product manufacturer’s actual specifications and the actual scope of delivery at the time of delivery to the Seller shall be relevant. If the Seller cannot deliver the ordered Products to the Customer in accordance with Customer’s order (price and Product specifications) the Seller refunds received advance payments to the Customer.
2.6 In case of an order via the Seller's online order form, the contract's content will be stored by the Seller and will be sent to the Customer in writing (for example via email, fax or letter) after the Customer has submitted his order. In addition, the contract's content will be stored on the Webshop and can be found by the Customer via the password-protected Customer account by entering the respective login information, provided that the Customer has created a Customer account in the Webshop prior to submitting his order.
2.7 The Customer can correct all the data entered via the usual keyboard and mouse function prior to submitting his binding offer via the Seller's online order form. In addition, prior to submitting a binding offer, all data entered will be once again displayed in a confirmation window and can be corrected here as well, via the usual keyboard and mouse function.
2.8 Order processing and contacting usually takes place via email and automated order processing. It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the email address he provides for the order processing is accurate so that emails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. Particularly, it is the Customer’s responsibility, if SPAM filters are used, to ensure that all emails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller with the order processing can be delivered.
