Terms and Conditions and Customer Information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic Provisions

(1) The following business terms are applicable to all the contracts, which you conclude with us as a supplier (Carl Alexander Schmidt) via the www.finer-things.de website. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms you may have used is contradicted.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly neither be attributed to their commercial nor their self-employed professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods. Our offers on the Internet are non-binding and not a binding offer to conclude a contract.

(2) You can submit a binding purchase offer (order) via the online shopping cart system. The goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping cart". You can use the corresponding button in the navigation bar to call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time. After clicking the "Checkout" or "Continue to order" button (or similar designation) and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will then be displayed to you as an order overview. Before sending the order, you have the option of checking the details in the order overview again, changing them (also using the "back" function of the Internet browser) or canceling the order. By sending the order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order with obligation to pay" or similar designation), you submit a binding offer to us. You will first receive an automatic e-mail about the receipt of your order, which does not yet lead to the conclusion of a contract.

(3) The acceptance of the offer (and thus the conclusion of the contract) takes place within 2 days by confirmation in text form (e.g. e-mail), in which the execution of the order or the delivery of the goods is confirmed to you (order confirmation). If you have not received a corresponding message, you are no longer bound to your order. Any services already provided will be reimbursed immediately in this case.

(4) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract takes place via e-mail, in some cases automatically. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have given us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically guaranteed and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Special agreements on offered payment methods

(1) Payment via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout" If you select a payment method that is offered via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout", the payment will be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl et Cie, SCA (22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg; "PayPal"). The individual payment methods via "PayPal" are displayed to you under a correspondingly designated button on our website and in the online ordering process. "PayPal" can use other payment services to process payments; if special terms of payment apply, you will be informed of these separately. You can find more information about "PayPal" at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub - full).

§ 4 Right of retention, retention of title

(1) You can only exercise a right of retention insofar as it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following also applies:
a) We reserve ownership of the goods until all claims from the current business relationship have been settled in full. Pledging or assignment as security is not permitted before ownership of the reserved goods has passed.

b) You can resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that accrue to you from the resale, and we accept the assignment. You are further authorized to collect the claim. However, if you do not meet your payment obligations properly, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) If the reserved goods are combined and mixed, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in relation to the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request insofar as the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.

§ 5 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights apply.

(2) Insofar as you are informed by us before submitting the contractual declaration and this has been expressly and separately agreed, the limitation period for claims for defects in used goods is one year from delivery of the goods. The above limitation does not apply: - to culpably caused damage from injury to life, limb or health and to other damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence; - insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the goods.

(3) As a consumer, you are asked to check the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply, this has no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

(4) If a feature of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation is only deemed to have been agreed if you were informed by us of the same before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.

(5) If you are an entrepreneur, the following applies in deviation from the above warranty provisions:

a) Only our own information and the manufacturer's product description are deemed to be agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we shall provide a warranty, at our discretion, by rectification or subsequent delivery. If the elimination of the defect fails, you can either demand a price reduction or withdraw from the contract. The remedy of defects is deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless something else arises from the type of goods or the defect or the other circumstances. In the case of rectification, we do not have to bear the increased costs that arise from the delivery of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, provided that the delivery does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the deadline does not apply: - to culpably caused damage from injury to life, limb or health and to other damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence; - insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the condition of the item; - for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness; - in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you have against us in connection with warranty rights.

§ 6 Choice of Law

(1) German law applies. For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection provided by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence is not withdrawn (principle of favourability).

(2) The provisions of the UN Sales Convention expressly do not apply. II. Customer Information
