General Terms and Conditions with Customer Information
1) Scope of Application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of 13PM Creative Agency e.U. (hereinafter referred to as "Seller"), apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") and the Seller regarding the goods and/or services presented by the Seller in their online shop. Deviating terms and conditions of the Customer are not accepted unless expressly agreed otherwise.
1.2 These GTC also apply to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise specified.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside their trade, business, or profession.
1.4 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a legally capable partnership that acts in the exercise of its trade, business, or profession when concluding a legal transaction.
2) Conclusion of the Contract
2.1 The product descriptions in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers by the Seller but serve to enable the Customer to submit a binding offer.
2.2 The Customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods and/or services in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer regarding the items in the shopping cart by clicking the button to complete the order.
2.3 The Seller may accept the Customer’s offer within five days by:
-
Sending a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (e.g., by email), whereby the receipt of the confirmation by the Customer is decisive;
-
Delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive; or
-
Requesting payment from the Customer after placing the order.
If multiple of the above alternatives occur, the contract is concluded at the moment one of the alternatives occurs first. The acceptance period begins on the day after the Customer sends the offer and ends on the fifth day following. If the Seller does not accept the Customer’s offer within this period, the offer is deemed rejected, and the Customer is no longer bound by their offer.
2.4 When selecting a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment is processed through the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter "PayPal"), subject to PayPal's terms of use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full. If the Customer does not have a PayPal account, the terms for payments without a PayPal account apply, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the Customer selects a PayPal payment method, the Seller declares acceptance of the Customer's offer at the moment the Customer clicks the button to complete the order process.
2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller’s online order form, the contract text is saved by the Seller and sent to the Customer along with these GTC in text form (e.g., by email) after the order is placed. The contract text is also archived on the Seller’s website and can be accessed by the Customer through their password-protected customer account, provided the Customer created an account before submitting the order.
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 tool for better recognizing input errors may be the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The Customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button to complete the order process.
2.7 Order processing and contact typically occur 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. In particular, the Customer must ensure that no SPAM filters block emails from the Seller or third parties involved in the order processing.
