General Terms and Conditions
1. Scope of application, definitions
(1) For the business relationship between the operator of the shop "CRP Import Export GmbH" (hereinafter "Vendor") and the customer, the following General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively in the currently valid edition at the time of placing the order. Deviating terms of the customer are not recognised, unless the Vendor agrees to their validity expressly and in writing.
(2) The customer is a consumer to the extent that the purpose of the ordered deliveries and services cannot be attributed to his commercial or self-employed professional activities. In contrast, every natural person or legal entity or incorporated partnership exercising commercial or independent professional activities when concluding this contract shall be considered an entrepreneur.
(3) The contract texts will not be saved by the supplier after conclusion of the contract and will then no longer be available to the customer.
2. Conclusion of contract
(1) The customer can select from the range of products offered by the vendor and place these into the shopping basket via the "place in shopping basket" button. Via the "Buy" button, he enters into a binding purchase contract for the goods in the shopping basket. Before placing the order, the customer can view and change this data at any time. The request can, however, only be submitted and transmitted when the customer accepts these terms and conditions by clicking on the button "Accept GTC" and thereby integrates these into the request.
(2) The Vendor then sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by email, in which the order of the customer is listed once again and which the customer can print out via the "Print" function. The automatic confirmation of receipt only documents that the order from the customer has been received by the Vendor and does not represent acceptance of the request. The contract comes into being upon declaration of acceptance of the request by the Vendor; this is sent by separate email ("confirmation of order").
3. Delivery, availability of goods
(1) If no items of the products selected by the customer are available at the point at which he places the order, the Vendor will notify the customer of this immediately in the confirmation of order. If the product cannot be supplied in the long-term, the Vendor will not make a declaration of acceptance. In this case, no contract shall exist.
(2) If the product in the customer's order unavailable only temporarily, the Vendor will also inform the customer of this immediately in the order confirmation. If delivery is delayed by more than two weeks, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract. Otherwise the Vendor is also entitled in this case to withdraw from the contract. In this case, he shall immediately reimburse any payments already made by the customer.
4. Retention of titleUntil complete payment, the delivered goods remain the property of the Vendor.
5. Prices and shipping costs
(1) All prices indicated on the website of the Vendor include applicable statutory VAT.
(2) The relevant shipping costs will be provided to the customer in the order form and must be borne by the customer, unless the customer exercises his right of revocation. Orders to the value of €100.00 or more are delivered to the customer free of shipping charges.
(3) Goods are dispatched by post. If the customer is a consumer, the shipping risk is borne by the Vendor.

(2) The payment of the purchase price is due immediately after conclusion of the contract. I(3) The obligation of the customer to pay default interest does not exclude the exercise of further default damages by the Vendor.
7. Material defect warranty, guarantee
(1) The Vendor is liable for material defects in accordance with the applicable legal regulations, in particular Sections 434 ff German Civil code (BGB). The obligation of warranty for goods supplied by the Vendor is 12 months with regard to entrepreneurs.
8. Liability
(1) Claims by the customer for damages are excluded. Excepted are claims for damages by the customer for injury to life, limb or health, or for the violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) as well as the liability for other damages which can be attributed to the intentional or grossly negligent violation of obligations of the Vendor, his legal representative or vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment is required for achieving the aim of the contract.
(2) In the case of violation of essential contractual obligations, the Vendor is liable only for foreseeable damages typical of the contract and caused by ordinary negligence, unless claims for damages by the customer due to injury to life, limb or health are involved.
(3) The limitations of paragraphs 1 and 2 also apply to the benefit of legal representatives and vicarious agents of the Vendor, if claims are made directly against these.
(4) The provisions of the product liability law remain unaffected.

(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
