2.4 By placing an order, the customer submits a binding offer to conclude the contract, which can be accepted by the seller. The confirmation of receipt of the order will be sent to the customer's email address immediately after the order has been submitted. The order confirmation does not yet constitute acceptance of the contract by the seller. The seller can accept the customer's offer within 48 hours after receipt of the order by sending an order confirmation to the customer, 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. If several of the aforementioned alternatives are available, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent. If the customer selects "PayPal" or "advance payment by bank transfer" as the payment method in the order process through our online shop, the contract with the customer is concluded at the time of confirmation of the payment instruction to PayPal or upon placing the order (advance payment by bank transfer).
2.5 The contract is concluded with: LAFORT Sp. z o.o., Chodakowska 53/57 / 22A, 03-816 Warszawa, Poland, represented by Ruslans Zubkins. VAT identification number according to § 27a UStG (German Value Added Tax Act): PL1133049365.

Additionally, the customer has the option to print both the order and the general terms and conditions before submitting the order to us. If the customer has created a customer account in the online shop of the seller before sending the order, the contract text will also be stored in the customer's password-protected account, which the customer can access after logging into their customer account using the corresponding login details.
4. Right of Withdrawal
4.1 The following right of withdrawal only applies if you are a consumer; if you are an entrepreneur and act in the conclusion of the contract in the exercise of your commercial or self-employed professional activity, the following right of withdrawal does not apply.

For Germany, Austria, and Switzerland:
- We charge a flat rate of 5 EUR per order.
- Shipping costs are waived for orders with a total value of 100 EUR or more.
5.3 The goods are sold only in commercial quantities. This applies both to the number of ordered goods within one order and to the submission of multiple orders of the same product, where each individual order includes a customary household quantity.
5.4 In individual cases, additional costs may arise for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These may include costs for money transfer by financial institutions (e.g., bank transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties and taxes (e.g., customs duties). Such costs may occur particularly in relation to money transfers from a country outside the European Union.
6. Delivery Conditions and Delivery Time
6.1 We sell and deliver exclusively within Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The shipment will be made via DHL, freight forwarder, or another provider of our choice.
6.2 Unless otherwise indicated in the respective offer, the goods will be delivered within 3-6 working days. The delivery time is the period between placing the order and delivering the ordered goods, or for orders with payment in advance, the period between payment and delivery.
7. Payment Terms
7.1 Payment can be made by prepayment, PayPal, or credit card. However, the seller reserves the right not to offer certain payment methods for each order and to refer to other payment methods.
7.1.1 If the customer chooses the prepayment payment method, we will provide our bank details in the order confirmation. For transfers from outside the European Union, any bank charges are to be borne by the customer. The total amount must be transferred to our account within 5 working days of receiving the order confirmation. The delivery period starts with receipt of the total amount.
7.1.2 If the customer chooses the PayPal payment method, the invoice amount will be paid via the online payment provider PayPal. The customer will be redirected to the PayPal website, www.paypal.de. The customer must be registered with PayPal or, if necessary, register for the first time, then log in with their access data to PayPal and confirm the payment instruction to the seller. The payment to the seller is made immediately after the customer's confirmation through their PayPal account. The "PayPal User Agreement" of PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. & Cie, S.C.A. in its currently valid version applies. The shipment will take place after PayPal confirms the payment.
7.1.3 If the customer selects "credit card" as the payment method, the customer expressly authorizes us to charge the full invoice amount plus any applicable delivery and shipping costs to the selected credit card company. The charge will be made with the order confirmation.
7.2 If the customer is a consumer, the purchase price shall be subject to interest of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate from the occurrence of payment default during the default. If the customer is not a consumer, the interest rate during payment default is 9 percentage points above the base interest rate. The seller reserves the right to prove and assert higher default damages.
8. Redeeming Vouchers
8.1 Vouchers purchased through the seller's online shop can only be redeemed in this online shop via the designated text field during the ordering process; redemption via phone, letter, fax, or email is not possible.
8.2 When placing an order, multiple vouchers can be redeemed. Vouchers can only be used for the purchase of goods and not for purchasing additional vouchers. Cash payment or refund of voucher amounts is not possible. If the value of the voucher is insufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the seller can be chosen to settle the remaining amount.
8.3 Vouchers and remaining balances from vouchers can be redeemed until the end of the third year after the year of voucher purchase. Remaining balances will be credited to the customer's voucher account until the expiration date.
8.4 The voucher is transferable. The seller can fulfill its obligations to the respective holder who redeems the voucher in the seller's online shop. However, this does not apply if the seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the holder's lack of authorization, legal incapacity, or lack of representation authority.
9. Warranty
9.1 If the customer is a consumer and places an order with the seller for a purpose that cannot predominantly be attributed to either their commercial or professional activity, the statutory warranty rights apply to our goods.
9.2 If the customer places an order with the seller as a business entity, the following applies:
9.2.1 Delivered goods must be examined by the customer immediately after receipt, to the extent feasible in the regular course of business. If a defect becomes apparent, the seller must be notified immediately. If the customer fails to give notice, the goods will be deemed approved unless the defect was not recognizable during the examination. If such a defect becomes apparent at a later time, notice must be given without delay, otherwise, the goods are also deemed approved in respect of this defect. This does not apply if the seller fraudulently concealed the defect. § 377 HGB remains unaffected. Even in cases of recourse by the business entity according to § 478 BGB, the customer is not exempted from their duty to examine the goods. If, in such cases, the customer does not immediately notify the seller of the defect claimed by their purchaser, the goods are also deemed approved in respect of this defect.
9.2.2 If a defect is present, the seller is entitled to determine the type of subsequent performance, taking into account the nature of the defect and the legitimate interests of the customer. In these contracts, subsequent performance is deemed to have failed after three unsuccessful attempts. This does not apply in the case of recourse according to § 478 BGB.
9.2.3 In the case of subsequent performance for defects, the seller is only obligated to bear the necessary expenses, including transport, travel, labor, and material costs, to the extent that these do not increase because the item was transported to a location other than the customer's domicile or business premises. This does not apply in the case of recourse according to § 478 BGB.
9.2.4 The customer's warranty claims, including claims for damages, expire after one year. The aforementioned limitations and reductions in time do not apply to claims based on damages caused by the seller, its legal representatives, or agents due to injury to life, body, or health, deliberate or grossly negligent breach of duty, fraudulent conduct, or breach of material contractual obligations essential for the proper performance of the contract and regularly relied upon by the contractual partner (cardinal obligations), within the scope of a guaranteed quality, if agreed, and if the Product Liability Act applies.
10. Liability
10.1 The seller's liability for damages, regardless of the legal grounds, including impossibility, delay, defective or incorrect delivery, breach of contract, breach of obligations during contract negotiations, and unlawful actions, is limited as far as fault is involved as follows:
10.2 The seller's liability for damages is limited, regardless of the legal grounds, to cases of intent and gross negligence (gross fault) under the scope of liability for negligence.
In cases of simple negligence, the seller is only liable, subject to a more lenient liability standard according to legal provisions (e.g., for due care in one's own affairs), for:
a) damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health,
b) damages resulting from a significantly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (obligation whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the contracting party regularly relies and may rely); in this case, the seller's liability is, however, limited to compensation for the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
10.3 The liability limitations resulting from paragraph 2 also apply to breaches of duty by or in favor of persons for whom the seller is responsible under statutory provisions.
10.4 The liability limitations resulting from paragraph 2 do not apply if the seller fraudulently concealed a defect or assumed a guarantee for the quality of the goods, as well as for claims by the customer under the Product Liability Act.
11. Retention of Title, Setoff, Right of Retention
11.1 In the case of consumers,
the seller reserves ownership of the purchased item until the full payment of the invoice amount. If the customer is a business entity and places the order in the course of its commercial or independent professional activity, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the seller reserves ownership of the purchased item until all outstanding amounts from the business relationship with the customer have been settled. The corresponding security rights are transferable to third parties.
11.2 Regarding business entities: The customer is only entitled to setoff if its counterclaims have been legally established, recognized, or are undisputed by the seller. Furthermore, the customer is only entitled to exercise a right of retention if its counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
12. Customer Service
For questions, complaints, or claims, you can reach our customer service from Monday to Friday, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, via email at [email protected].
13. Data Protection
The seller takes data protection very seriously and collects, processes, and uses customer data transmitted in accordance with the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Further information on how the seller handles customer's personal data can be found at https://www.spryterium.com/en/data-protection/index.html.
The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform (OS platform) at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
15. Legal System, Jurisdiction
15.1 German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
15.2 For customers who conclude the contract for purposes that cannot predominantly be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity (consumers), this choice of law only applies to the extent that the customer is not thereby deprived of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence.
15.3 The place of performance for all services from the business relationship with the seller is Warszawa if the customer is a merchant.
15.4 If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, or if the customer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for any disputes arising from the business relationship between the seller and the customer, at the seller's discretion, is either the seller's place of business or the customer's place of business. However, in these cases, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for lawsuits against the seller is the seller's place of business. Mandatory statutory provisions regarding exclusive places of jurisdiction remain unaffected by this regulation.
