1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Ereignis Verlag GbR (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither attributable to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. A business entity, for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity.

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 as an invitation to the customer to submit a binding offer.

2.2 The customer can submit an offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding offer to purchase the goods in the shopping cart by clicking the button that finalizes the order.

2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days.

• by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
• by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive in this respect.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time when one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end 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 is considered a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.
2.4 When an offer is submitted via the seller's online order form, the contract text is stored by the seller after the contract is concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g., email or letter) after the order has been submitted. The seller does not make the contract text available in any other way.
2.5 Before submitting a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify potential input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. A useful technical aid for better error detection is the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the screen display. The customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using standard keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button to finalize the order.
2.6 The German language is the only language available for concluding the contract.
2.7 Order processing and communication generally take place via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address provided for order processing is correct so that emails sent by the seller can be received at that address. In particular, if using spam filters, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller for order processing can be delivered.

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information regarding the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.

4) Prices and payment terms

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices including VAT. Any applicable delivery and shipping costs will be listed separately in the respective product description.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases, which are beyond the seller's control and must be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for money transfers by credit institutions (e.g., transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties and taxes (e.g., customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred with regard to money transfers even 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 following payment methods are available in our shop:

• The invoice
  Purchases are made on account. The purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. Payment is made by bank transfer to the account of Runge Verlagsauslieferung GmbH.
• prepayment
  For advance payment, Runge Verlagsauslieferung GmbH will send you bank details in a separate email and ship the goods after payment has been received in Runge Verlagsauslieferung GmbH's bank account. For orders from new customers outside of Germany with an invoice total exceeding €80.00 (for the first order), we require advance payment.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed, goods will be delivered to the delivery address specified by the customer. The delivery address provided in the seller's order processing system is decisive for the transaction.
5.2 If delivery of the goods fails for reasons attributable to the customer, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply to the initial shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. Regarding return shipping costs, the provisions set forth in the seller's cancellation policy apply if the customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal.
5.3 The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper delivery to the seller by its own suppliers. This applies only if the non-delivery is not the seller's fault and the seller has concluded a specific cover transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The seller will make every reasonable effort 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 payment will be refunded immediately.
5.4 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payment, he retains ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

7.1 If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory warranty for defects apply.
7.2 If the customer is a consumer, they are requested to report any delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the delivery person and to inform the seller. Failure to do so will not affect their statutory or contractual warranty rights.

8) Applicable Law

All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws on the international sale of goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which they have their habitual residence.

9) Alternative Dispute Resolution

9.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
This platform serves as a point of contact for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts involving a consumer.
9.2 The seller is neither obligated nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
