1. Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of "SOLO Kleinmotoren GmbH" (hereinafter referred to as “seller") apply to all contracts concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “customer") with the seller regarding the goods presented by the seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.


1.2 These GTC apply accordingly to the purchase of vouchers, insofar as nothing to the contrary is expressly regulated

.


1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed.


1.4 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.


2. Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product presentations contained in the seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by the customer

.


2.2 The customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping basket and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding offer to enter into a contract with respect to the goods contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer may also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, e-mail or post.


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), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or

by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or

by requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed the order.


If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends with 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 shall be 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 the payment method "PayPal Express" is selected, the payment shall be processed via 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 the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the Terms for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer selects "PayPal Express" as the method of payment during the online ordering process, he also issues a payment order to PayPal by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. In this case, the seller declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button that concludes the order process, notwithstanding section 2.3.


2.5 When an offer is made via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is stored by the seller and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) together with these GTC after the customer has sent his order. In addition, the text of the contract is archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected customer account by providing the relevant login data, provided that the customer has created a customer account in the seller's online shop before submitting his order.


2.6 Before bindingly submitting the order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. The browser’s magnification function can help to recognise input errors because it enlarges the display. Within the framework of the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his entries at any time using the usual keyboard and mouse functions before bindingly submitting the order. In addition, all entries are displayed once again in a confirmation window before the binding submission of the order and can also be corrected there using the usual keyboard and mouse functions.


2.7 Please note that, by way of exception, we are not obliged to deliver the ordered goods if we have duly ordered the goods but have not been supplied correctly or on time (congruent covering transaction). A further prerequisite is that we are not responsible for the lack of availability of the goods and have informed you of this without delay. If the goods are not available, we will immediately refund any payments already made.


2.8. Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.


2.9 Order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails 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 are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal. In the event of a return of goods, please use the returns label which is either enclosed with your order or which you can print out via your customer account. You can also request this label via our hotline. Please help us to avoid unnecessary costs and do not return the goods without a returns label.

Withdrawal policy:


You have the right to withdraw from this contract within thirty days without giving any reason.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must contact SOLO Kleinmotoren GmbH, Industriestr. 9, D-71050 Sindelfingen, e-mail: info@solo-germany.com by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached sample withdrawal form for this purpose. However, this is not mandatory. You can also fill in and submit the sample withdrawal form or another clear declaration electronically via the contact form on our website. If you make use of this option, we will send you confirmation of receipt of your withdrawal without delay (e.g. by e-mail). To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.


Consequences of withdrawal: If you withdraw from this contract, we must refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without delay and at the latest within fourteen days of the day on which we received notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this refund, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you. In no case will you be charged for this refund. We may refuse the refund until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever comes first. You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any case no later than thirty days from the day on which you notify us of your withdrawal from this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the thirty-day period. We will bear the costs of returning the goods if you use the return label provided by us for a return initiated within Germany. Otherwise, the return costs are to be borne by you. You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for checking the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.

In this respect, the customer shall also bear the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defence, including all court costs and lawyers' fees in the statutory amount.
