1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Shazia Rehmat, trading under "DEMHAAS" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded between a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") and the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby excluded, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity.

1.3 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 his or her commercial or independent 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 to submit a binding offer by the Customer.

2.2 The customer can submit an offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller via email.

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, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
• by requesting payment from the customer after placing his order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends on the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.

2.4 If you select a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 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 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 using a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected during the online ordering process, the seller hereby declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time 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 will be saved by the Seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g., email, fax, or letter) after the order has been sent. The Seller will not make the contract text available beyond this time. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before submitting 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 entering the corresponding login data.

2.6 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 detection of input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. During the electronic ordering process, the Customer can correct their entries using standard keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that completes the order process.

2.7 Different languages ​​are available for the conclusion of the contract. The specific language selection is displayed in the online shop.

2.8 Order processing and contact are usually carried out via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address provided 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 to process the order 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.

3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who, at the time of conclusion of the contract, are not members of a Member State of the European Union and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.

4) Prices and payment terms

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices. Sales tax is not charged, as the seller is exempt from sales tax as a small business owner. Any additional delivery and shipping costs are 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 money transfers through credit institutions (e.g., transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g., customs duties). Such costs may also arise in relation to money transfers 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 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 a payment method offered via the “PayPal” payment service is selected, payment will be processed via PayPal, although PayPal may also use the services of third-party payment service providers for this purpose. If the seller also offers payment methods via PayPal for which he makes advance payments to the customer (e.g. purchase on account or payment by installments), he assigns his 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 will carry out a credit check using the customer data transmitted. The seller reserves the right to refuse the selected payment method to the customer if the check result is negative. If the selected payment method is accepted, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or at the agreed payment intervals. In this case, he can only pay PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, even in the event of an assignment of claims, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. B. about the goods, delivery time, shipping, returns, complaints, declarations of revocation and sending or credit notes.

4.6 If the "SOFORT" payment method is selected, payment processing will be carried out by the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter "SOFORT"). In order to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", must provide appropriate identification during the payment process, and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction will then be processed immediately by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account will be debited. Further information on the "SOFORT" payment method can be found online at https://www.klarna.com /sofort/ retrieve.

4.7 If a payment method offered via the "Stripe" payment service is selected, payment processing will be 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 Stripe will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. Stripe may use other payment services to process payments, for which special payment terms may apply, to which the customer may be separately informed. Further information about Stripe can be found on the Internet at https://stripe.com /de available.

4.8 If you select the payment method via Stripe, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 If the Seller offers to ship 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 by the Seller during order processing shall be decisive for the processing 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 of delivery if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation, the provisions in the seller's cancellation policy apply to the return costs.

5.3 If the customer is acting 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 carrier or the 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 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 goods sold 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 other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the freight forwarder, the carrier or the other person or institution 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 only applies if the non-delivery is not the responsibility of 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 unavailability 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, he retains ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply. 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 subsequent performance;
• For new goods, the limitation period for claims for defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
• In the case of used goods, the warranty rights are excluded;
• The limitation period does not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

7.2 The limitations of liability and shortening of time limits set out 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 which have been used for a building in accordance with their usual use and have caused its defectiveness,
• for any 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 recourse claim remain unaffected.

7.4 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of Section 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he or she is subject to the commercial duty of inspection and notification of defects pursuant to Section 377 of the HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations stipulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved.

7.5 If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain to the deliverer about goods that have obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not do this, this will have no effect on his legal or contractual claims for defects.

8) Liability

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

8.1 The Seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason

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

8.2 If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless unlimited liability applies in accordance with the above clause. Material 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 compliance the Customer may regularly rely.

8.3 Otherwise, the Seller’s liability is excluded.

8.4 The above liability provisions shall also apply with regard to the Seller’s liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

9) Special conditions for the processing of goods according to specific customer specifications

9.1 If, according to the content of the contract, the seller is obliged not only to deliver the goods but also to process the goods according to specific specifications of the customer, the customer must provide the seller with all content required for processing, such as text, images, or graphics, in the file formats, formatting, image sizes, and file sizes specified by the seller, and grant the seller the necessary rights of use. The customer is solely responsible for the procurement and acquisition of rights to this content. The customer declares and assumes responsibility for ensuring that they have the right to use the content provided to the seller. They shall ensure, in particular, that no third-party rights are violated thereby, in particular copyrights, trademark rights, and personal rights.

The customer also assumes the necessary costs of legal defense, including all court and attorney fees at the statutory rate. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the violation. In the event of a claim by third parties, the customer is obligated to promptly, truthfully, and completely provide the seller with all information necessary for the examination of the claims and for a defense.

9.3 The Seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the Customer violates legal or regulatory prohibitions or is morally reprehensible.

10) Applicable law

10.1 All legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws governing the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law shall apply only to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his or her habitual residence.

10.2 Furthermore, this choice of law with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal shall not apply to consumers who, at the time of conclusion of the contract, are not members of a Member State of the European Union and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.

11) Alternative dispute resolution

11.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu /consumers /odr
