§ 7.

Order personalised products

  1. The seller offers buyers the opportunity to purchase personalised products, but this only applies to products that are clearly labelled as personalised products (e.g. camper hooks). Accordingly, not every product available in the shop is a personalised product and not every product can be tailored to the individual needs of the buyer.
  2. If the buyer wishes to purchase a personalised product, they must send the seller an e-mail to the e-mail address they have provided, stating which personalised product they are interested in.
  3. Upon receipt of the message referred to in section 2, the Seller shall send the Buyer a request for data and information on which the conclusion of the contract for the personalised product depends. In particular, the buyer must provide technical data, photos, etc. at the seller’s request. (Example: If the buyer wants to order a hook for a motorhome, he should provide the seller with photos showing the attachment and the length of the rear overhang in the motorhome).
  4. After checking the data and information provided by the Buyer (e.g. in the form of photos), the Seller shall inform the Buyer within 3 (in words: three) days of receipt of the complete information at the latest whether it is able to deliver the personalised product, and if so, at what price and on what date.

§ 8.

Advance booking

  1. The seller can organise a pre-sale for certain product types, but does not have to.

    2. cannot return a personalised product as it is a custom-made product that has been manufactured according to the individual needs of the buyer.
  2. Buyers who are neither consumers nor PNPK cannot return any products without giving a reason – neither personalised products nor standard products.
  3. In the case of products that cannot be returned, in particular personalised products, the seller may agree to accept the return of such a product, but is not obliged to do so. If the seller agrees to accept a product that cannot be returned, the seller is entitled to retain 20% (in words: twenty percent) of the price originally paid to compensate for the loss in value of this product and to cover the costs of manufacturing the personalised product at the buyer’s request.
  4. In the case referred to in paragraph 3, the Buyer is obliged to return the Product at his own expense and risk to the place indicated by the Seller. The seller must refund the remaining part of the price within 14 days from the date of the seller’s agreement to return the product, although the seller may withhold the refund until receipt of the product or proof of dispatch. For this refund, we will use the same means of payment that the buyer used in the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with the buyer.

[CHAPTER IV: PRICE AND OTHER SALES CLAIMS].

§ 12.

Price and other costs

  1. The buyer must pay the seller the agreed price for the product in the amount specified by the seller.

  3. When a price reduction is announced for a product, in addition to the information on the reduced price, the seller must also provide information on the lowest price for that product that was valid during the 30-day period before the price reduction was introduced. If a particular product has been offered for sale for a period shorter than 30 days, the seller must, in addition to the information on the reduced price, also provide information on the lowest price of that product that applied during the period between the start of the offer to sell that product and the date of the introduction of the reduction.
  4. If, between the conclusion of the contract and the delivery of the product to the buyer, a circumstance arises over which the seller has no control and which affects the increase in the price, e.g. in the form of price increases by suppliers, the seller will inform the buyer immediately. Upon receipt of the notification:
    1. The buyer may agree to a price increase, in which case he shall be obliged to pay the price in the amount of the increase, or
    2. The buyer may refuse to agree to the price increase and withdraw from the contract as a whole (if the contract has not been fulfilled, even partially) or from the unfulfilled part of the contract (if the contract has already been partially fulfilled).
  5. In the event of delivery by courier, the Seller shall notify the Buyer of the shipping costs via the carrier and the Buyer shall pay such shipping costs for delivery of the Product, subject to the provisions of Section 6.
  6. The seller is entitled, at his own discretion, to assume the buyer’s obligation to pay the shipping costs, e.g. through individual agreements with the buyer, an organised advertising campaign or the placement of a notice in the shop that the shipping costs will be paid by the seller for the purchase of products above a certain amount.
  7. Insofar as this results from mandatory statutory provisions, the Seller shall add value added tax – at the applicable rate – to the price and other charges.

§ 13.

Payment of the price and other costs

  1. The seller informs the buyer about the available payment options, in particular by displaying them in the shop.
  2. The buyer may make payments in particular by:

  3. In the event that a particular payment method is not available, e.g. due to a failure of the IT systems, the buyer is obliged to choose another payment method. The unavailability of a particular payment method does not release the buyer from his obligation to make the payment on the agreed date.
  4. Payment of the price and all other charges payable by the Buyer shall normally be made before delivery of the Product by the Seller, unless the Seller agrees to payment after delivery of the Product (cash on delivery sale).
  5. The Seller is entitled to demand advance payment of the price from the Buyer, in particular if the contract concerns products of significant value or personalised products or if the performance of the contract requires the prior purchase of materials from suppliers. The advance payment is due no later than 7 (in words: seven) days after the date on which the Seller has informed the Buyer of the need for an advance payment.
  6. Payment of the price and all other amounts payable by the Buyer shall be made on the basis of an invoice document issued by the Seller, in particular a VAT invoice.
