1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Ariane Zagorny, trading under "vonKoenigshofen" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed predominantly to their commercial or independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their 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 to submit a binding offer by the Customer.
2.2 The customer can submit the offer using 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 contract offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process.
2.3 The Seller may accept the Customer's offer within five days - by sending the Customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive, or - by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or - by requesting payment from the Customer after placing the order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends on the expiry 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 deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the contract text is saved by the seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. The seller will not make the contract text available beyond this.
2.5 Before submitting the binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better identifying input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which helps to enlarge the display on the screen. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.6 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.7 Order processing and contact are usually carried out via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address provided by him for order processing is correct so that emails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.
3) Right of withdrawal
3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on 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. Sales tax is not shown, as the seller is a small business within the meaning of the VAT Act. Any additional delivery and shipping costs are stated separately in the respective product description.
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which must be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also arise in relation to the transfer of money 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 payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller’s online shop.
4.4 If advance payment by bank transfer is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.5 When paying using a payment method offered by PayPal, payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, which can be viewed at

- if the customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full.
5) Delivery and shipping conditions
5.1 The delivery of goods takes place by shipping to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive.
5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply to the costs of delivery if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation, the provisions in the seller's cancellation policy apply to the return costs.
5.3 In the case of self-collection, the seller will first inform the customer by email that the goods ordered by him are ready for collection. After receiving this email, the customer can collect the goods from the seller's headquarters after consultation with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.
6) Retention of title
If the seller makes advance payments, he retains title to 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 statutory liability for defects applies.
7.2 The customer is requested to complain to the deliverer about goods that have obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not do so, this will have no effect on his legal or contractual claims for defects.
8) Special conditions for the processing of goods according to specific customer specifications
8.1 If, according to the content of the contract, the seller is obliged to process the goods in accordance with specific customer specifications in addition to delivering the goods, the customer must provide the operator with all content required for processing, such as texts, images or graphics, in the file formats, formatting, image and file sizes specified by the operator and grant the operator the necessary rights of use. The customer is solely responsible for procuring and acquiring the rights to this content. The customer declares and assumes responsibility for having the right to use the content provided to the seller. In particular, he ensures that no third-party rights are violated, in particular copyright, trademark and personal rights.
8.2 The customer indemnifies the seller against claims made by third parties in connection with a violation of their rights through the contractual use of the customer's content by the seller. The customer also assumes the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defense, including all court and attorney fees at the statutory rate. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the violation of rights. In the event of a claim by third parties, the customer is obliged to provide the seller with all information required to examine the claims and to defend himself without delay, truthfully and completely.
8.3 The seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the customer violates legal or official prohibitions or violates common decency. This applies in particular to the provision of content that is unconstitutional, racist, xenophobic, discriminatory, offensive, harmful to young people and/or glorifies violence.
9) Applicable law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties, excluding the laws governing the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his or her habitual residence.
10) Alternative dispute resolution
This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online sales or service contracts involving a consumer.
10.2 The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute settlement procedure before a consumer arbitration board
