Terms & Conditions
General Terms and Conditions (GTC) for Orders in the Carus-Online-Shop
1. Scope of application
The contract terms contained in these GTC apply for all orders in the Carus-Online-Shop. Deviating GTC are not a contract component.
2. Contract conclusion
The presentation of goods in the Internet/Catalogue does not constitute a binding offer. The purchase contract first comes into being in that we accept your order. If we accept your order, we send you an email confirming this and thus a purchase contract between yourself and us comes into being.
3. Delivery
We deliver the ordered goods to you at the address you stated. We reserve the right to not deliver goods if the goods you order are not available. If this is the case, we shall notify you and refund an already paid purchase price back to you.
4. Payment modalities
You receive from us an invoice which must be settled no later than 7 days following receipt.
5. Validity of prices
Please bear in mind that our prices shown in the Internet already contain the statutory VAT. When the published Internet pages are updated, all earlier prices are no longer valid and all prices then shown are valid until the next update of the Internet pages.
6. Shipping costs
We assume all shipping costs for freight and packaging for all deliveries within Germany that exceed an ordervalue of 25 EUR. Below that ordervalue, shipping costs only 3,50 EUR.
7. Reservation of proprietary rights
We reserve our proprietary rights in the delivered goods until all accounts receivable from this contract are fulfilled.
8. Revocation right
If you are a consumer you are entitled to revoke the order – we refer to the Annex for the prerequisites for revocation and the legal consequences.
9. Warranty
For all articles you can assert warranty claims within 24 months as from receiving the goods. § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) applies for entrepreneurs.
10. Applicable law/Place of jurisdiction
This contract is subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany under exclusion of UN commercial law.
Marburg is place of jurisdiction if you are a merchant or if you have no general place of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany.
INSTRUCTION ON YOUR RIGHT OF REVOCATION
Your right to revoke
You can revoke your declaration to contract within two weeks without stating reasons by sending a text message (e.g. letter, fax, email) or – if the item is provided to you before the period expires – by sending back the item.
The due period begins after you receive this instruction in text form, but not before the goods arrive at the recipient (not before arrival of the first delivery in the case of recurring delivery of the same type of goods) and also not before fulfilment of our obligations to inform pursuant to § 312c para. 2 BGB (German Civil Code) in conjunction with § 1 para 1, 2 and 4 BGB-InfoV (Civil Code Information Ordinance) and fulfilment of our obligations pursuant to § 312e para. 1 sentence 1 BGB in conjunction with § 3 BGB-InfoV.
It suffices to observe the due period allowed for revocation if the revocation notice or the item is dispatched in good time. The revocation must be addressed to:
Carus e-Shop
c/o Scholz-Versand-Service
Sandforter Strasse 143
D-49086 Osnabrück
Germany
Email: carus@svs-os.de
Fax: +49 (0) 541 9 37 02 45
Revocation consequences
In the case of an effective revocation, the reciprocally received performances must be returned and any possibly enjoyed usefulness (e.g. interest) surrendered. You must pay us compensation for diminished value if you are unable to give us back the received performance wholly or partially or only in a worsened condition. This does not apply for provided items if said item is worsened solely due to inspection of the item – as would have been possible for you in a shop, for instance.
Items suitable for parcel shipment are sent back at our risk. You must bear the cost of return shipment if the delivered goods are the same as the goods ordered and the price of the item to be sent back does not exceed EUR 40.00 or, if the price is higher, you have not yet made the counter-performance or a contractually agreed part payment at the point in time of revocation. Otherwise, return shipment is free of cost for the customer. Items not suitable for parcel shipment will be collected from the customer. Obligations to refund payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. This period begins for you with dispatch of the revocation declaration or the item, and for us with receipt of the same.
