1) Scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter „GTC“) of Acme United Europe GmbH (hereinafter „Seller“) apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter „Customer“) concludes with the Seller in relation to 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 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly stipulated otherwise.

1.3 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of tickets, unless expressly stipulated otherwise. These GTC only govern the sale of tickets for specific events described in greater detail in the Seller's item description, and not the performance of these events. The performance of the events is governed exclusively by the statutory provisions in the relationship between the participant and the organiser and, where applicable, any deviating conditions of the organiser. If the Seller is not also the organiser, the Seller is not liable for the proper performance of the event; in this respect, the respective organiser alone is responsible.

1.4 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside his or her trade, business or profession.

1.5 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his or her trade, business or profession.

1.6 Depending on the Seller's product description, the subject of the contract may be either a one-off delivery of goods or the supply of goods by way of a permanent delivery (hereinafter „subscription contract“). In the case of a subscription contract, the Seller undertakes to supply the Customer with the contractually owed goods for the agreed term at the contractually agreed intervals.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers by the Seller, but serve to enable the Customer to submit a binding offer.

2.2 The Customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller's online shop. In doing so, after placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping basket and going through the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods in the shopping basket by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the Customer may also submit the offer to the Seller by e-mail or by telephone.

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 the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive, or
  • by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby in this case the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
  • by requesting payment from the Customer after the order has been placed.

If several of the above alternatives apply, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the above alternatives first occurs. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the Customer sends the offer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his or her declaration of intent.

2.4 If the Customer selects a payment method offered by PayPal, payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter „PayPal“), subject to the PayPal terms of use, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/legalhub/paypal/useragreement-full or – if the Customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the conditions for payments without a PayPal account, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/legalhub/paypal/privacywax-full. If the Customer pays using a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online order process, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer's offer at the time when the Customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the contract text is stored by the Seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer's order has been dispatched. Beyond this, the Seller does not make the contract text accessible. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending the order, the order data is archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed by the Customer free of charge via his or her password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.

2.6 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 of better detecting input errors may be the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. During the electronic ordering process, the Customer can correct entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he or she clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7 Different languages are available for the conclusion of the contract. The specific language selection is displayed in the online shop.

2.8 Order processing and contact generally take place by e-mail and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the e-mail address specified by him or her for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using spam filters, the Customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller with order processing can be delivered.

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller's withdrawal policy.

4) Prices and payment conditions

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices including statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs that may be incurred are specified separately in the respective product description.

4.2 In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which must be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for transferring money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties and taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also arise in relation to money transfers 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 options are communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop.

4.4 If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless a later due date has been agreed by the parties.

4.5 If the Customer selects a payment method offered via the „PayPal“ payment service, payment processing is carried out via PayPal, which may use the services of third-party payment service providers. If the Seller also offers payment methods via PayPal where the Seller provides goods or services in advance (e.g. purchase on account or instalment payment), the Seller assigns his payment claim in this respect to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the Customer. Before accepting the Seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal will carry out a credit check using the transmitted Customer data. The Seller reserves the right to refuse the selected payment method to the Customer in the event of a negative result of the credit check. If the selected payment method is approved, the Customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or at the agreed payment intervals. In this case, the Customer can only make payment with debt-discharging effect to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal. However, the Seller remains responsible, even in the event of assignment of the claim, for general customer enquiries, e.g. regarding goods, delivery time, dispatch, returns, complaints, withdrawal declarations and credits.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 If the Seller offers shipping of the goods, delivery is made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address provided by the Customer, unless agreed otherwise. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the Seller's order processing is decisive. By way of exception, if the PayPal payment method is selected, the delivery address stored by the Customer with PayPal at the time of payment is decisive.

5.2 If 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 with regard to the costs of the initial dispatch if the Customer effectively exercises his or her right of withdrawal.

5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-supply. This only applies if the non-delivery is not the fault of the Seller and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care.

  • for new goods, the limitation period for claims for defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
  • warranty claims are excluded for used goods;
  • the limitation period does not begin anew if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

8.2 If the Customer acts as a consumer, the following restriction applies to contracts for the delivery of used goods: the limitation period for claims for defects is one year from delivery of the goods, provided this has been expressly and separately agreed between the parties and the Customer was expressly informed of the shortening of the limitation period before submitting his or her contractual declaration.

8.3 The above-mentioned limitations of liability and shortening of limitation periods do not apply

  • to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the Customer,
  • in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
  • for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness,
  • for any existing obligation of the Seller to provide updates for digital products in contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.

8.4 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any statutory recourse claims remain unaffected.

8.5 If the Customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB (German Commercial Code), he is subject to the commercial duty of inspection and notification of defects pursuant to § 377 HGB. If the Customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated there, the goods shall be deemed approved.

8.6 If the Customer acts as a consumer, he or she is requested to complain to the deliverer about goods delivered with obvious transport damage and to inform the Seller thereof. If the Customer does not comply with this, this has no effect on his or her statutory or contractual claims for defects.

9.3 Any further liability of the Seller is excluded.

9.4 The above liability provisions also apply with regard to the Seller's liability for his vicarious agents and legal representatives.

The Customer is solely responsible for the procurement and acquisition of rights to this content.

In particular, he or she ensures that no rights of third parties are infringed, in particular copyright, trademark or personal rights.

10.2 The Customer indemnifies the Seller against claims of third parties which these may assert against the Seller in connection with a violation of their rights due to the contractual use of the Customer's content by the Seller. In this context, the Customer shall also bear the necessary costs of legal defence, including all court and legal fees at the statutory rate.
