1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of Espresso Perfetto Deutschland GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") shall apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") with the Seller with regard to 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 shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise expressly stipulated.

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

1.4 The subject matter of the contract may be - depending on the Seller's product description - both the purchase of goods by way of a one-off delivery and the purchase of goods by way of a permanent delivery (hereinafter "subscription contract"). In the case of a subscription contract, the seller undertakes to supply the customer with the contractually owed goods for the duration of the agreed contract term at the contractually owed time intervals.

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 for the submission of a binding offer by the Customer.

2.2 The customer can 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 contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by 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 time when 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 a payment method offered by PayPal 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 and conditions 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 terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, which can be viewed 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 already 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 text of the contract shall be 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 Customer's order has been sent. The Seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed by the customer free of charge via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.

2.6 Before bindingly placing 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 enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

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

2.8 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.

3.2 More detailed information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller's instructions on withdrawal.

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 conclusion of the contract and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.

4) Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted 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, 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 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 the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop.

4.4 If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment shall be due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

4.5 If the payment method "SOFORT" is selected, the payment will be processed 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 that has been activated for participation in "SOFORT", identify himself accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then immediately carried out by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account is debited. More detailed information on the "SOFORT" payment method is available to the customer on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.

4.6 If a payment method offered via the payment service "mollie" is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Mollie B.V., Keizersgracht 313, 1016 EE Amsterdam, the Netherlands (hereinafter: "mollie"). The individual payment methods offered via mollie will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop. For the processing of payments, mollie may use other payment services, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the Customer may be informed separately. Further information on "mollie" is available on the Internet at https://www.mollie.com/de/.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 The delivery of goods shall be made by dispatch to the delivery address provided by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the Seller's order processing shall be decisive. Deviating from this, if the payment method PayPal is selected, the delivery address deposited by the customer with PayPal at the time of payment shall be decisive.

5.2 In the case of goods delivered by forwarding agent, delivery shall be made "free kerbside", i.e. to the public kerbside nearest to the delivery address, unless otherwise stated in the shipping information in the Seller's online shop and unless otherwise agreed.

5.3 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation. In the event of an effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the costs of returning the goods.

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

5.5 In the event of self-collection, the Seller shall first inform the Customer by e-mail that the goods ordered by the Customer are ready for collection. After receipt of this e-mail, the customer may collect the goods from the seller's registered office by arrangement with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

5.6 Vouchers shall be provided to the Customer as follows:

- by e-mail

6) Term and termination of subscription contracts

6.1 Subscription contracts are concluded for an indefinite period and may be terminated by the customer at any time without notice.

6.2 The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. Good cause shall be deemed to exist if the terminating party, taking into account all circumstances of the individual case and weighing the interests of both parties, cannot reasonably be expected to continue the contractual relationship until the agreed termination or until the expiry of a notice period.

6.3 Cancellations must be made in writing or in text form (e.g. by e-mail).

7) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payment, he shall retain title to the goods delivered until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

Right of withdrawal as a seller

Espresso Perfetto Deutschland GmbH reserves the right to withdraw from the sale of goods at any time, even if payment has already been made. This withdrawal can occur for various reasons, including price errors, delivery difficulties or other unforeseen circumstances.

In the event of a withdrawal from the sale, Espresso Perfetto Deutschland GmbH will refund the money paid immediately. We attach great importance to customer satisfaction and endeavor to process all transactions transparently and fairly.

Please note that these provisions are set out in our General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and the right of withdrawal. We therefore recommend that you read these documents carefully before placing an order.

8) Liability for defects (warranty)

8.1 If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply.

8.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall apply to used goods: Claims for defects are excluded if the defect only occurs after the expiry of one year from delivery of the goods. Defects that occur within one year of delivery of the goods can be claimed within the statutory limitation period. However, the reduction of the liability period to one year does not apply

  • for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness,
  • for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses of the customer, as well as
  • in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.

8.3 If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply with this, this shall have no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

9) Special conditions for assembly/installation services

If, according to the content of the contract, the seller is also responsible for the assembly or installation of the goods at the customer's premises in addition to the delivery of the goods and, if applicable, for the corresponding preparatory measures (e.g. measurement), the following shall apply:

9.1 The Seller shall provide its services, at its discretion, in its own person or through qualified personnel selected by it. In doing so, the Seller may also make use of the services of third parties (subcontractors) acting on its behalf. Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's service description, the Customer shall have no claim to the selection of a specific person to perform the desired service.

9.2 The Customer shall provide the Seller with the complete and truthful information required for the provision of the service owed, insofar as its procurement does not fall within the Seller's scope of obligations according to the content of the contract.

9.3 The Seller shall contact the Customer after the conclusion of the contract in order to arrange an appointment with the Customer for the service owed. The Customer shall ensure that the Seller or the personnel appointed by the Seller have access to the Customer's facilities concerned on the agreed date.

10.4 Unless otherwise agreed, the Customer shall ship the item to be repaired to the Seller's registered office at its own expense and risk.

The seller shall inform the customer immediately of any obvious transport damage so that the customer can assert any rights it may have against the carrier.

10.5 The return of the item shall be at the expense of the customer. The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the item shall pass to the customer when the item is handed over to a suitable transport person at the Seller's place of business. At the customer's request, the seller will take out transport insurance for the item.

10.6 The Customer may also bring the item to be repaired to the Seller's place of business and collect it again from the Seller's place of business itself if this results from the Seller's service description or if the parties have reached an agreement to this effect. In this case, the above provisions on the bearing of costs and risks in the case of dispatch and return of the item shall apply accordingly.
