9. WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES

9.1 LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the statutory law on liability for defects applies.

The following restrictions and shortening of deadlines do not apply to claims due to damages caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents

  • * in the event of injury to life, limb or health
  • * in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty as well as malice
  • * in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations)
  • * within the framework of a guarantee promise, if agreed, or
  • * insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act.

Restrictions on entrepreneurs

In the case of entrepreneurs, only our own information and the manufacturer's product descriptions that have been included in the contract shall be deemed to be agreements on the quality of the goods; we assume no liability for public statements by the manufacturer or other advertising statements. For entrepreneurs, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured goods is one year from the transfer of risk.

The statutory limitation periods for the recourse claim under Section 445a of the German Civil Code remain unaffected.

Regulations vis-à-vis merchants

Merchants are subject to the obligation to inspect and report complaints regulated in Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). If you fail to make the notification regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved, unless it is a defect which was not recognisable during the inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.

9.2 WARRANTIES AND AFTER-SALES SERVICE

Information on any additional warranties that may apply and their exact conditions can be found with the product and on special information pages in the online shop.

  • * in the case of guarantee promises, if agreed, or
  • * insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act.

In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may regularly rely, (cardinal obligations) and due to a slight negligence by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, the amount of liability is limited to the damage foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. In all other respects, claims for damages are excluded.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which you can find here [https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/]. We are not willing and not obliged to participate in any dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

If you are a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between us and you is our place of business.
