1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Ali Aydin, operating as "Lions Collection" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded between a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") and the Seller regarding the goods displayed in the Seller's online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed.
1.3 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.
2) Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve to enable the Customer to submit a binding offer.
2.2 The Customer can submit the 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 contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.
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 (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive, or
- delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
- requesting payment from the Customer after they have placed their order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the Customer sends the offer and ends with 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 considered a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.
2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the payment processing is carried out by 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, viewable at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if the Customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, viewable at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the Customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the Seller already declares acceptance of the Customer's offer at the time 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 will be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent their order. The Seller will not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending their order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the Customer via their password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.
2.6 Before placing a 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 recognition of input errors can be the browser's zoom function, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The Customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.7 The German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.8 Order processing and contact usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by them for order processing is correct, so that the 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 generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller's cancellation policy.
3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time of concluding the contract and whose sole residence and delivery address at the time of concluding the contract are outside the European Union.
4) Prices and Payment Conditions
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include the statutory value-added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.
4.2 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop.
4.3 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Stripe" is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe"). The individual payment methods offered via Stripe will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop. For payment processing, Stripe may use additional payment services, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the Customer may be separately informed. Further information on Stripe is available on the internet at https://stripe.com/de .
4.4 If the credit card payment method via Stripe is selected, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. Payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: "Stripe"). Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check and to refuse this payment method in the event of a negative credit check.
5) Delivery and Shipping Conditions
5.1 If the Seller offers shipping of goods, delivery will be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address provided by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. For the processing of 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 sending the goods if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. For the return costs, in the event of effective exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Customer, the provision made in the Seller's cancellation policy applies.
5.3 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. If the Customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally only passes with the handover of the goods to the Customer or a person authorized to receive them. Notwithstanding this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods also passes to the Customer for consumers as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the Seller has not previously named this person or institution to the Customer.
5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This applies only if the non-delivery is not the fault of the Seller and the Seller has concluded a specific hedging transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.
5.5 Self-collection is not possible due to logistical reasons.
6) Retention of Title
If the Seller makes advance performance, they retain ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.
7) Liability for Defects (Warranty)
Unless otherwise provided in the following provisions, the statutory provisions on liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:
7.1 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,
- the Seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
- for new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from the delivery of the goods;
- for used goods, rights and claims due to defects are excluded;
- the limitation period does not begin anew if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.
7.2 If the Customer acts as a consumer, for contracts for the delivery of used goods, subject to the following clause: The limitation period for claims for defects is one year from the delivery of the goods if this has been expressly and separately agreed upon by contract between the parties and the Customer has been specifically informed of the reduction in the limitation period before submitting their contractual declaration.
7.3 The aforementioned limitations of liability and reductions in deadlines do not apply
- to the Customer's claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses,
- in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
- for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual purpose 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.
7.4 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing right of recourse remain unaffected.
7.5 If the Customer is a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB (German Commercial Code), they are subject to the commercial duty to inspect and give notice of defects in accordance with § 377 HGB. If the Customer fails to comply with the notification duties regulated therein, the goods are deemed to have been approved.
7.6 If the customer acts as a consumer, they are requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the seller thereof. Failure by the customer to do so has no effect on their statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8) Liability
The Seller is liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory, including tortious, claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:
8.1 The Seller is liable without limitation for any legal reason
- in case of intent or gross negligence,
- in case of intentional or negligent injury to life, body or health,
- due to a guarantee promise, unless otherwise regulated in this regard,
- due to mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.
8.2 If the Seller negligently violates an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the contract-typical, foreseeable damage, unless unlimited liability exists according to the preceding paragraph. Essential contractual obligations are obligations that the contract imposes on the Seller according to its content to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the Customer can regularly rely.
8.3 Otherwise, the Seller's liability is excluded.
8.4 The foregoing liability provisions also apply with regard to the Seller's liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.
9) Applicable Law
9.1 All legal relationships between the parties are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence.
9.2 Furthermore, this choice of law does not apply with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time of the conclusion of the contract and whose sole residence and delivery address at the time of the conclusion of the contract are outside the European Union.
10) Alternative Dispute Resolution
10.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu
This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts in which a consumer is involved.
10.2 The seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
