1. scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) of eccomp e.U. (hereinafter referred to as “eccomp”), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods, which a consumer or entrepreneur concludes with eccomp regarding the goods presented by eccomp in the online store. The inclusion of the customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 A consumer in the sense of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity. 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 descriptions contained in the online store do not represent binding offers on the part of eccomp, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by you.

2.2 You can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the online store. In doing so, after you have placed the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and gone through the electronic ordering process, you submit a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button (“BUY NOW”) that concludes the ordering process.

2.3 eccomp can accept your offer within five days,

by sending you a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by you is decisive, or
by eccomp delivering the ordered goods to you, in which case the receipt of the goods by you is decisive.
The contract is concluded at the point in time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for the acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the sending of the offer by you and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If eccomp does not accept your offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be considered as a rejection of the offer with the consequence that you are no longer bound to your declaration of intent.

2.4 If you pay by means of a payment method from Stripe (credit card & instant transfer) that can be selected in the online order process, eccomp already declares acceptance of your offer at the time at which you complete the order process by clicking on “BUY NOW”.

2.5 Before bindingly submitting the order via the eccomp online order form, you can recognize possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. The enlargement function of the browser is a means for better recognition of input errors. You can correct your entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions or touch screen until you complete the ordering process by clicking on “BUY NOW”.

2.6 The order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. You must ensure that the e-mail address you provide for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by eccomp can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, you must ensure that all e-mails sent by eccomp or third parties commissioned by eccomp with the order processing can be delivered.

3. right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of revocation.

3.2 More detailed information on the right of revocation can be found in the revocation instructions of eccomp.

3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time of the conclusion of the contract and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of the conclusion of the contract.

4. Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the product description of eccomp, the prices stated are total prices which include the statutory value added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases for which eccomp is not responsible and which are to be borne by you. 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 be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but you make the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to you in the eccomp online store.

4.4 The Sofort and credit card payment methods are processed by Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe (Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland), to which eccomp assigns its payment claim. Stripe collects the invoice amount from your specified credit card account/account. In the event of assignment, payment can only be made to Stripe with debt-discharging effect. The credit card/account will be debited immediately after sending your order via the eccomp online store. eccomp remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. regarding goods, delivery time, shipment, returns, complaints, revocation declarations and deliveries or credit notes, even if you select the credit card or Sofort payment methods. For more information on payment processing via Stripe, please see our privacy policy at weihnachtsbaum-aus-holz.com/datenschutzerklaerung/ and https://stripe.com/at/privacy.

5. delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 The delivery of goods is made by shipping to the delivery address provided by you, unless otherwise agreed.

5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which you are responsible, you will bear the reasonable costs incurred by eccomp as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if you effectively exercise your right of revocation. In the event of an effective exercise of the right of revocation by you, the provision made in the revocation instructions of eccomp shall apply to the return costs.

5.3 If you are trading as a consumer or entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods is generally only transferred upon handover of the goods to you or a person authorized to receive them. In deviation from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods will also pass to you in the case of consumers as soon as eccomp has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if you commission the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and eccomp has not previously named this person or institution to you.

5.4 eccomp reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in case of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This only applies in the event that eccomp is not responsible for the non-delivery and eccomp has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due diligence. eccomp will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In case of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, you will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.

5.5 Self-collection directly from eccomp is not possible for logistical reasons.

5.6 Further information can be found under shipping.

6. retention of title

6.1 In relation to consumers, eccomp retains ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

6.2 With respect to entrepreneurs, eccomp retains ownership of the delivered goods until all claims from a current business relationship have been settled in full.

6.3 If you trade as an entrepreneur, you are entitled to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. You assign all claims against third parties arising from this to eccomp in advance in the amount of the respective invoice value (including value added tax). This assignment applies regardless of whether the goods subject to retention of title have been resold without or after processing. You remain authorized to collect the claims even after the assignment. The authority of eccomp to collect the claims itself remains unaffected. eccomp will, however, not collect the claims as long as you meet your payment obligations to eccomp, are not in default of payment and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been filed.

7. Liability for defects (warranty)

eccomp has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
in the case of used goods, the rights and claims due to defects are generally excluded;
the limitation period shall not start 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 forth in the foregoing clauses shall not apply to

to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses on your part, as well as
in the event that eccomp has fraudulently concealed the defect.
7.3 If you are trading as a consumer, you are requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damages to the deliverer and to inform eccomp about this. If you do not comply with this, this has no effect on your legal or contractual claims for defects.

on the basis of mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.
8.2 If eccomp negligently violates an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless liability is unlimited in accordance with the above clause.
