General<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>(1) These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all offers and services relating to the Internet platform \u2013<em>www.ceragol.com<\/em>\u2013 If the customer refers to the inclusion of his own terms and conditions of business or purchase, these are hereby contradicted.<\/p>\n\n<p>(2) Individual contractual agreements take precedence over general terms and conditions.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>2. Conclusion of the contract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>(1) The service descriptions on our website \u2014 <em>www.ceragol.com<\/em> \u2014 do not constitute an offer to conclude a purchase contract. Such an offer is only made upon the customer&#8217;s online order via the contact form or based on an order placed by telephone or in text form. The subsequent confirmation of receipt of the order sent by us does not constitute acceptance of this offer. The purchase contract is concluded upon receipt of the order confirmation (declaration of acceptance); however, if the customer uses one of the online payment methods offered by us (see the list in Section 4.3.) for payment, we hereby accept their offer with effect from the time we become aware of the customer&#8217;s decision to use one of the online payment methods offered by us. The customer is \u2013 unless they use one of the online payment methods offered by us \u2013 no longer bound to their offer (this offer expires) if we have not sent them the declaration of acceptance within 5 calendar days (calculated from the date we receive the order).    <\/p>\n\n<p>(2) If a declaration of acceptance received by the customer late was sent in such a way that it would have reached him in time had it been delivered regularly, and the customer should have been aware of this, he must notify us of the delay immediately upon receipt of the declaration, unless he has already done so. If the customer delays sending the notification, the acceptance shall be deemed not to have been late. Furthermore, late acceptance by us shall be deemed a new offer to conclude a purchase contract, which the customer may accept by express declaration of acceptance or by taking receipt of the goods.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>3. Choice of law<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The contractual relationships between the parties to the purchase agreement are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. This choice of law excludes the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which the customer has their habitual residence. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>4. Prices, payment, delivery, shipping costs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><em>(1) The remuneration includes the value added tax (VAT) applicable at the time of the order.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>(2) When concluding contracts, we offer the following payment options:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>I.

Consumer dispute resolution procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Since January 9, 2016, Regulation (EU) No. 524\/2013 (ODR Regulation) on online dispute resolution in consumer matters has been in force. It applies to the out-of-court resolution of disputes concerning contractual obligations arising from online sales contracts or online service contracts between consumers and online retailers and aims to achieve a high level of consumer protection in the European internal market. The option of online dispute resolution (ODR) is intended to offer a simple, efficient, fast, and cost-effective out-of-court solution for disputes. The ODR platform forwards properly filed complaints to the competent ADR entities (under national law). Use of the ODR platform itself is free of charge; in proceedings before the ADR entities, consumers may incur costs (up to EUR 30.00) if their application constitutes an abuse of law.

Warranty <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>There is a statutory liability for defects in goods.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>9. Retention of title<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>1. We retain title to the delivered item until all payments under the purchase contract have been received. If the buyer fails to fulfill his contractual obligations, particularly in the event of late payment, we are entitled to demand the return of the delivered item; in this case, the buyer is obligated to surrender the item.<br\/>2. The buyer is obligated to notify us immediately of any seizure of the purchased item or any other related access or attempted access by third parties to the purchased item, so that we can exercise our rights under the retention of title. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>10. Transport damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>(1) If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please report such defects immediately to the deliverer and contact us as soon as possible.<br\/>(2) Failure to file a complaint or contact us will not affect your statutory warranty claims. However, it will help us assert our own claims against the carrier or transport insurer. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>11.
