catalogue shall be governed by these general terms and conditions of sale (the
âGeneral Terms and Conditionsâ).
(2) Our product offerings are directed to both Consumers and
Business Customers (as defined below), but in each case only to end users. For
the purpose of these General Terms and Conditions, (a) a âConsumerâ is any
individual entering into the contract for a purpose not related to his or her

partnership vested with legal capacity who enters into the relevant contract in

apply, regardless of whether or not we expressly object to them in a particular
case.
(4) Our contracts with the Customer shall be made in the
language of the respective country depending on which website ore app the

us for a period ending at the end of the third business day following the day
of the offer.
(3) Without undue delay upon receipt of the order, we will
send to the Customer by e-mail a confirmation of receipt, which shall not
constitute an acceptance of the order. The order shall be deemed to be accepted
by us either upon subsequent (e-mail) acceptance of the order or by dispatching
the product. The sales contract with the Customer shall not become effective
until our acceptance.
(4) Any Customer who is a Consumer shall be entitled to revoke the offer and return the product in accordance with the cancellation and return policy as separately made available to the Customer on our website during the ordering process.

approximate and may therefore be exceeded by up to two business days, except if
a fixed date of dispatch has been agreed upon.
(2) Any time period relevant to determine the date of
dispatch pursuant to this Section 4 (as specified by us when the order is made
or as otherwise agreed upon) shall begin (a) if advance payment has been
agreed, upon receipt by us of the full purchase price (including VAT and shipping
costs) or (b) if payment after delivery has been agreed, upon the conclusion of
the sales contract.
(3) The date of dispatch shall be such day on which the
product is handed over by us to the carrier.
(4) Regardless of whether any product is indicated on the
order form as "in stock", we may sell such product at any time,
provided that
a) the order form has included a notice as to the limited
availability of the product or
b) an advance payment has been agreed upon and this payment amount is not received by us within a period of five business days upon our acceptance of the order.
In such cases, we shall only be obligated to dispatch the
product within the time period agreed upon or indicated by us as long as stock
lasts.

or otherwise agreed upon or we are no longer required to deliver within any

timely manner a product that has been indicated on the order form as "not

applicable delivery period pursuant to this Section 4 shall be deemed to be
extended until delivery is made by our supplier plus an additional period of
three business days, but in no event by a period of more than three weeks, provided

unreasonable costs.

products offered cannot be combined with technically modified vehicles, this
shall not constitute a material defect in the product.
