General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (GEO-Technik GmbH & Co KG) via the internet page www.geo-technik.de/. Unless otherwise agreed, we object to the inclusion of your own terms and conditions, if any.

(2) Consumer in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Formation of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.

Our offers on the Internet are non-binding and not a binding offer to conclude a contract.

(2) You can submit a binding offer to purchase (order) via the online shopping basket system.
In doing so, the goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping basket". You can call up the "shopping basket" via the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time. After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data are finally displayed again on the order overview page. Before submitting the order, you have the option of checking the details in the order overview again, changing them (also using the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the order.
By sending the order via the "buy" button, you submit a binding offer to us.
You will first receive an automatic e-mail about the receipt of your order, which does not yet lead to the conclusion of the contract.

(3) The acceptance of the offer (and thus the conclusion of the contract) takes place within 2 days by means of a confirmation in text form (e.g. e-mail) in which the execution of the order or delivery of the goods is confirmed to you (order confirmation).
If you have not received a corresponding message, you are no longer bound to your order. In this case, any services already provided will be refunded immediately.

(4) Your requests for the preparation of an offer are non-binding for you. We will submit a binding offer to you in text form (e.g. by e-mail), which you can accept within 5 days (unless a different deadline is stated in the respective offer).

(5) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have provided to us is correct, that the receipt of e-mails is technically guaranteed and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Individually designed goods

(1) You shall provide us with the suitable information, texts or files required for the individual design of the goods via the online ordering system or by e-mail at the latest immediately after conclusion of the contract. Our specifications on file formats, if any, shall be observed.
 
(2) You undertake not to transmit any data whose content infringes the rights of third parties (in particular copyrights, rights to a name, trademark rights) or violates existing laws. You expressly indemnify us against all claims asserted by third parties in this connection. This also applies to the costs of legal representation required in this context.
 
(3) We do not check the transmitted data for correctness of content and in this respect do not assume any liability for errors.

§ 4 Special agreements on payment methods offered

(1) Credit assessment
If we make advance payments, e.g. in the case of payment by invoice or direct debit, your data will be passed on to Deutsche Bank, 63450 Hanau, for the purpose of checking your creditworthiness on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures in order to protect our legitimate interests. We reserve the right to refuse you payment by invoice or direct debit as a result of the credit check.

§ 5 Right of retention, reservation of title

(1) You can only exercise a right of retention insofar as it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in addition:

(a) We retain title to the goods until all claims arising from the current business relationship have been settled in full. Before the transfer of ownership to
