1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Ahmet Can Kestane, trading under "Ahmet Can Kestane" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods and/or services presented by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own conditions is hereby contradicted, 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 neither be attributed to their commercial nor their 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 the offer using 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 contract offer in relation to the goods and/or services contained in the shopping cart by clicking the "order with payment" button that concludes the ordering process.

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 at which 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 sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his 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 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 is saved by the seller and sent to the customer after sending his order together with these general terms and conditions in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter). However, the customer can no longer access the contract text via the seller's website after sending his order.

2.6 Before submitting the 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 identifying input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which helps to enlarge the display on the screen. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.7 The German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

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 the contract is concluded, are not members of a member state of the European Union and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.

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 shown, as the seller is a small business within the meaning of the VAT Act. 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 the transfer of money by 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 the transfer of money 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 Various payment options are available to the customer, which are specified in the seller’s online shop right at the beginning of the ordering process.

4.4 If advance payment has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract.

4.5 If the payment method "SOFORT" 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", identify themselves accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then carried out immediately by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account is debited. The customer can find more information about the payment method "SOFORT" on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com /sofort / retrieve.

4.6 If you select a payment method offered via the payment service "Shopify Payments", the payment will be processed via 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 Shopify Payments will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. To process payments, Stripe may use other payment services for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be informed separately. Further information on "Shopify Payments" can be found on the Internet at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de available.

4.7 If a payment method offered via the “PayPal” payment service is selected, payment is processed via PayPal, although PayPal can 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 instalments), 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 carries out a credit check using the customer data transmitted. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the selected payment method if the test result is negative. If the selected payment method is approved, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or at the agreed payment intervals. In this case, he can only make payments to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with a debt-discharging effect. However, even in the event of an assignment of claims, the seller remains responsible for general customer enquiries, e.g. B. regarding the goods, delivery time, shipping, returns, complaints, declarations of revocation and sending or credit notes.

4.8 If you select a payment method offered via the "Klarna" payment service, the payment will be processed by Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter "Klarna"). Further information and Klarna's terms and conditions can be found here:

4.9 If the payment method purchase on account is selected, the purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price must be paid to Klarna AB, Sveavägen 46, 11134 Stockholm, Sweden (www.klarna.de) within 14 (fourteen) days of the invoice date without deduction, unless otherwise agreed. The payment method purchase on account requires a successful credit check by Klarna AB. If the customer is permitted to pay on account after checking his creditworthiness, the payment is processed in cooperation with Klarna AB, to which the seller assigns his payment claim. In this case, the customer can only pay to Klarna AB with a debt-discharging effect. In all other respects, the general terms and conditions of Klarna AB apply, which the customer can access as part of the ordering process. The seller reserves the right to only offer the payment method purchase on account up to a certain order volume and to reject this payment method if the specified order volume is exceeded. In this case, the seller will inform the customer of any payment restrictions in the payment information in the online shop.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 The delivery of goods takes place by shipping to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive.

5.2 If the transport company returns the goods to the seller because delivery to the customer was not possible, the customer will bear the costs of the unsuccessful shipment. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the circumstances that led to the impossibility of delivery or if he was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the seller had announced the service to him a reasonable time in advance. Furthermore, this does not apply with regard 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 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payments, he reserves title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed and all associated costs and expenses have 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 defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
  • In the case of used goods, rights and claims due to defects 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 in accordance with their normal use for a building 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 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) Indemnity in case of infringement of third-party rights

If, according to the content of the contract, the seller is obliged to process the goods in accordance with certain specifications of the customer in addition to delivering the goods, the customer must ensure that the content provided to the seller for processing does not infringe the rights of third parties (e.g. copyrights or trademark rights). The customer indemnifies the seller against claims made by third parties in connection with an infringement of their rights through the contractual use of the customer's content by the seller. The customer also assumes the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defense, including all court and attorney fees at the statutory rate. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by third parties, the customer is obliged to provide the seller with all information required to examine the claims and to defend itself immediately, truthfully and completely.

9) Applicable law

9.1 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur within the meaning of section 1.2, all legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the law of the state in which the seller has its place of business, excluding the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods, and the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the seller's place of business.

9.2 If the customer acts as a consumer within the meaning of section 1.2, all legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the law of the state in which the customer has his or her habitual residence, excluding the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods, and the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the customer's place of residence.

9.3 Furthermore, this choice of law with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who, at the time the contract is concluded, are not members of a member state of the European Union and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.

10) Alternative dispute resolution

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

This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online sales or service contracts involving a consumer.
