1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Northern Innovations GmbH (haftungsbeschränkt), trading under "a-dar.com" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly cannot be attributed to either their commercial or their independent professional activity.
1.3 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 their commercial or independent professional activity.
2) Conclusion of the 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 for the submission of a binding offer by the Customer.
2.2 The Customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller's online shop. In doing so, after placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.3 The Seller can 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 in this respect the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive, or
by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby in this respect the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
by requesting the Customer to pay after submitting his order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives apply, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the Customer and ends at 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 a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 When selecting a payment method offered by PayPal, payment processing is carried out 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, viewable 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, viewable at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the Customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer's offer at the point in time at which the Customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.5 When selecting the payment method "Amazon Payments", payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, viewable at https://payments.amazon.de/help/201751590. If the Customer selects "Amazon Payments" as the payment method within the online ordering process, he also simultaneously issues a payment order to Amazon by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. For this case, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer's offer at the point in time at which the Customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.6 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract is stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the sending of his order. Any further provision of access to the text of the contract by the Seller does not take place.
2.7 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. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the browser's magnification function, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The Customer can correct his entries within the scope of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.8 Various languages are available for the conclusion of the contract. The specific choice of language is displayed in the online shop.
2.9 Order processing and contact usually take place by 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 the 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 with the order processing can be delivered.
3) Right of withdrawal
3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller's withdrawal instructions.
4) Prices and payment terms
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices indicated are total prices that include the statutory value added tax. Any additionally incurred delivery and shipping costs are stated separately in the respective product description.
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases, for which the Seller is not responsible and which are to 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 in relation to the transfer of money may also be incurred 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 The payment option(s) is/are communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop.
4.4 When selecting a payment method offered via the payment service "PayPal", payment processing is carried out via PayPal, whereby PayPal may also use the services of third-party payment service providers for this purpose. Insofar as the Seller also offers payment methods via PayPal in which he makes advance performance towards the Customer (e.g. purchase on account or payment by instalments), he assigns his payment claim in this respect 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 transmitted Customer data. The Seller reserves the right to refuse the selected payment method to the Customer in the event of a negative check result. If the selected payment method is approved, the Customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or in the agreed payment intervals. In this case, he can only make payment with a debt-discharging effect to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal. However, even in the event of the assignment of the claim, the Seller remains responsible for general Customer inquiries, e.g. regarding the goods, delivery time, dispatch, returns, complaints, declarations and returns of withdrawal or credit notes.
4.5 When selecting the payment method "SOFORT", payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter "SOFORT"). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the Customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", legitimise himself accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is carried out immediately afterwards by "SOFORT" and the Customer's bank account is debited. The Customer can retrieve further information on the payment method "SOFORT" on the internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.
4.6 When selecting a payment method offered via the payment service "Shopify Payments", payment processing is carried out 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 are communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop. To process payments, Stripe may use further payment services, for which special payment terms may apply, to which the Customer may be separately referred. Further information on "Shopify Payments" is available on the internet at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de.
4.7 When selecting the payment method purchase on account, the purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price is to be paid within 14 (fourteen) days from the invoice date without deduction to Klarna AB, Sveavägen 46, 11134 Stockholm, Sweden (www.klarna.de), unless otherwise agreed. The payment method purchase on account requires a successful credit check by Klarna AB. If, after checking the creditworthiness, the Customer is permitted to use the payment method purchase on account, the processing of the payment takes place in cooperation with Klarna AB, to whom the Seller assigns his payment claim. In this case, the Customer can only make payment with a debt-discharging effect to Klarna AB. In all other respects, the General Terms and Conditions of Klarna AB apply, which the Customer can retrieve within the scope of the ordering process. The Seller reserves the right to offer the payment method purchase on account only 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 a corresponding payment restriction in his payment information in the online shop.
4.8 When selecting the payment method "PayPal Invoice", the Seller assigns his payment claim to PayPal. Before accepting the Seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal carries out a credit check using the transmitted Customer data. The Seller reserves the right to refuse the payment method "PayPal Invoice" to the Customer in the event of a negative check result. If the payment method "PayPal Invoice" is approved by PayPal, the Customer must pay the invoice amount to PayPal within 30 days of receipt of the goods, unless PayPal specifies a different payment term to him. In this case, he can only make payment with a debt-discharging effect to PayPal. However, even in the event of the assignment of the claim, the Seller remains responsible for general Customer inquiries, e.g. regarding the goods, delivery time, dispatch, returns, complaints, declarations and returns of withdrawal or credit notes. In addition, the General Terms of Use for the use of PayPal's purchase on account apply, viewable at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/pui-terms.
4.9 When selecting the payment method "PayPal Direct Debit", PayPal collects the invoice amount, after issuing a SEPA direct debit mandate, but not before the expiry of the deadline for the pre-notification, from the Customer's bank account on behalf of the Seller. Pre-notification is any notification (e.g. invoice, policy, contract) to the Customer that announces a debit by SEPA direct debit. If the direct debit is not honoured due to insufficient account funds or due to the provision of incorrect bank details, or if the Customer objects to the debit although he is not entitled to do so, the Customer must bear the fees incurred by the return debit of the respective credit institution if he is responsible for this.
4.10 When selecting the payment method credit card via Stripe, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. Payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: "Stripe"). Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check and to reject this payment method in the event of a negative credit check.
4.11 When selecting a payment method offered via the payment service "Klarna", payment processing is carried out via Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter "Klarna"). Further information as well as the terms and conditions of Klarna in this regard can be viewed here:
5) Delivery and shipping terms
5.1 If the Seller offers the shipping of the goods, delivery takes place within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address specified by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. In processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the Seller's order processing is decisive. Deviating from this, when selecting the payment method PayPal, the delivery address stored with PayPal by the Customer at the time of payment is decisive.
5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the Customer is responsible, the Customer bears the reasonable costs incurred by the Seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the shipment if the Customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. For the return shipping costs, in the event of the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Customer, the provision made in this regard in the Seller's withdrawal instructions applies.
5.3 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarder, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. If the Customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally only passes upon handover of the goods to the Customer or a person authorised to receive them. Deviating from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer, even in the case of consumers, as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarder, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has commissioned the forwarder, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment with the execution and the Seller has not previously named this person or institution to the Customer.
5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-supply. This applies only in the event that the non-delivery is not the responsibility of the Seller and the latter has concluded a concrete covering transaction with the supplier with the requisite care. The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of the non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer is informed without delay and the consideration is refunded without delay.
5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
6) Retention of title
If the Seller makes advance performance, he reserves title to the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price owed.
7) Liability for defects (warranty)
Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the statutory provisions on liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, 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;
for used goods, the rights and claims for defects are excluded;
the limitation period does not begin anew if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.
7.2 The above-regulated limitations of liability and shortenings of periods do not apply
to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the Customer,
in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
to goods that have been used in accordance with their customary use for a structure and have caused its defectiveness,
to any existing 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 it applies that the statutory limitation periods for any existing statutory right of recourse remain unaffected.
7.4 If the Customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB, he is subject to the commercial duty to examine and give notice of defects pursuant to § 377 HGB. If the Customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods are deemed approved.
7.5 If the Customer acts as a consumer, he is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the Seller thereof. If the Customer fails to do so, this has no effect whatsoever on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8) Redemption of promotional vouchers
8.1 Vouchers that are issued free of charge by the Seller within the scope of promotional campaigns with a certain period of validity and that cannot be purchased by the Customer (hereinafter "promotional vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop and only within the specified period.
8.2 Individual products may be excluded from the voucher campaign, insofar as a corresponding restriction arises from the content of the promotional voucher.
8.3 Promotional vouchers can only be redeemed before the completion of the ordering process. Subsequent offsetting is not possible.
8.4 Several promotional vouchers can also be redeemed with one order.
8.5 The value of the goods must be at least equal to the amount of the promotional voucher. Any remaining credit is not refunded by the Seller.
8.6 If the value of the promotional voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the Seller can be selected to settle the difference.
8.7 The credit of a promotional voucher is neither paid out in cash nor does it bear interest.
8.8 The promotional voucher is not refunded if the Customer returns the goods paid for wholly or partly with the promotional voucher within the scope of his statutory right of withdrawal.
8.9 The promotional voucher is intended only for use by the person named on it. A transfer of the promotional voucher to third parties is excluded. The Seller is entitled, but not obliged, to check the material entitlement of the respective voucher holder.
9) Applicable law
For all legal relationships of the parties, the law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
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 purchase or service contracts in which a consumer is involved.
10.2 The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
