VAT Identification No.: DE 285167626 – hereinafter called “Vendor” –

 and

the Customer indicated in Art. 2 of the contract – hereinafter called “Customer” -.

 

Art. 1 Scope, definitions of terms

(1) For the business relationship between the webshop Vendor (hereinafter called “Vendor”) and the Customer (hereinafter called “Customer”), the following general terms and conditions shall exclusively apply, as amended at the time of order. Deviating terms of the purchaser shall not be recognized, unless the Vendor expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

(2) The Customer is a consumer insofar as the purpose of the ordered deliveries and services cannot be attributed predominantly to the Customer’s commercial or independent professional activity. By contrast, a merchant is any natural person or corporate entity or joint partnership having legal capacity which, with the conclusion of the contract, performs its commercial or independent professional activity.

Art. 2 Conclusion of contract

(1) The Customer can select products from the Vendor’s product range, particularly high quality swimwear and accumulate them in a so-called shopping cart by means of the button “ADD TO BAG.” With the button “ORDER NOW“, the Customer submits a binding request for purchase of the merchandise in the shopping cart. Prior to shipment of the order, the Customer can change and review the data at any time. However, the request can only be submitted and forwarded if the Customer, by clicking on the button “With your order, you agree to have read and understood our Terms and Conditions and your Right of Recission.”,accepts these terms and conditions and thus incorporates them into the request.

(2) The Vendor subsequently sends an automatic receipt via email to the Customer which restates the Customer’s order and which can be printed by means of the function “Print.“ The automatic receipt merely documents that the Customer’s order was received by the Vendor and does not constitute acceptance of the order. The contract shall only be legally binding upon issuance of the declaration of acceptance by the Vendor, which is sent out in a separate email (order confirmation). In this email or in a separate email, but no later than upon delivery of goods, the text of the contract (consisting of order, general terms and conditions, and order confirmation) shall be sent by us to the Customer on a durable medium (email or hardcopy) (contract confirmation). The text of the contract shall be stored and be subject to data protection.

(3) The conclusion of contract shall be in German.

Art. 3 Delivery, product availability

(1) Delivery times specified by us are calculated from the time of our order confirmation, prior payment of the purchase price provided (except for purchase on account). Provided that no or a deviating delivery time is specified for the respective product in our online shop, it shall be 3-5 days for deliveries.

(2) If no items of the product selected by the customer are available at the time of the placement of the order, the Vendor shall inform the Customer accordingly without delay in the order confirmation. If the product is not deliverable permanently, the Vendor shall refrain from issuing a declaration of acceptance. In such event, no contract shall be concluded.

(3) If the product specified by the Customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, the Vendor shall also inform the Customer accordingly without delay in the order confirmation. In case of a delay in delivery of more than two weeks, the Customer shall have the right to rescind from the contract. The statutory right of cancellation of the Customer (see Art. 9 of these contract terms) shall not be affected. Moreover, in such case, the Vendor shall also be entitled to rescind from the contract. If applicable, the Vendor shall then immediately refund any payments already made by the Customer.

(4) The following delivery restrictions shall apply: The Vendor shall only deliver to Customers whose usual place of residence (billing address) is in one of the following countries and who can specify a delivery address in the same country:Albania, Andorra, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Macedonia, Moldavia, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Poland, Romania, San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Hungary, Vatican City, Belarus, Cyprus. Deliveries to other countries will only be made after individual consultation.

Art. 4 Reservation of ownership

Until full payment, the goods delivered shall remain the property of the Vendor.

Art. 5 Prices and shipping charges

(1) All prices specified on the website of the Vendor include the currently applicable statutory value added tax.

(2) The appropriate shipping charges will be specified for the Customer in the order form and shall be payable by the customer, provided that the Customer does not exercise the right of cancellation. Shipping to the Customer in Europe shall be free of charge.

(3) The goods shall be shipped by mail with DHL. The Vendor shall bear the shipping risk if the Customer is a consumer.

(4) In case of a cancellation, the Customer shall bear the direct costs of the return.

Art. 6 Payment terms

(1) The Customer can pay by Paypal.

(2) The customer shall have the option of changing the payment method on the Customer’s user account at any time.

(3) Payment of the purchase price shall be due immediately upon conclusion of contract. If the due date is determined by the calendar, the Customer shall be in default by failing to meet such date. In such case, the Customer shall have to pay to the Vendor default interest in the amount of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate.

(4) The obligation of the Customer to pay default interest shall not preclude the Vendor’s assertion of further damages caused by delay.

Art. 7 Materials defect warranty, guarantee

(1) The Vendor shall be liable for material defects in accordance with the applicable legal requirements, particularly Art. 434 et seqq., German Civil Code. The warranty period for goods delivered to merchants by the Vendor shall be 12 months.

(2) An additional guarantee for goods delivered by the Vendor shall only apply if it was expressly specified in the order confirmation for the corresponding article.

Art. 8 Liability

(1) Claims for damages by the Customer are excluded with the exception of claims for damages by the Customer due to injury to life, body, or health, or the breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) as well as liability for other damages based on a willful or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Vendor, the Vendor’s representatives or subcontractors. Material contractual obligations are those which are required to be executed in order to fulfill the contractual objectives.

(2) In case of a breach of material contractual obligations, the Vendor shall only be liable for foreseeable damages typical for the contract if they were caused by simple negligence, provided that it is not a claim for damages by the Customer due to injury to life, body, or health.

(3) The restrictions of paragraph 1 and 2 shall also apply to the benefit of the legal representatives and subcontractors of the Vendor if claims are asserted directly against said legal representatives or subcontractors.

(4) The provisions of the product liability law shall remain unaffected.

Art. 9 Cancellation policy

(1) In principle, consumers have a statutory right of cancellation upon the conclusion of a long-distance transaction, for which the Vendor, in accordance with the legal sample, shall provide the following information. The exceptions for the right of cancellation are stipulated in paragraph (2). Paragraph (3) contains a sample cancellation form.

Cancellation policy Right of cancellation
