General terms and conditions

General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic Provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts you enter into with us as a provider (Melanie Felix-Ziegenbein) via the website https://www.melli4dogs.com/. Unless otherwise agreed, we object to the inclusion of any terms and conditions of your own that you may use.

(2) Consumer in the sense of the following regulations is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that 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.

(2) Already with the placement of the respective product on our website, we submit a binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions specified in the item description.

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are placed in the “shopping cart”. You can call up the “shopping cart” 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 will finally be displayed again on the order overview page.
If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal / PayPal Express, Amazon Payments, Sofort) as a payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online store or you will first be redirected to the website of the instant payment system provider.
If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, make the appropriate selection or enter your data there. Finally, you will be redirected back to our online store to the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the opportunity to check all the information again, change it (also using the “back” function of the Internet browser) or cancel the purchase.
By sending the order via the button “order with costs” you declare the legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.

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

(5) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is carried out by e-mail, partly automatically. 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 Term of Contract / Termination for Subscription Contracts

(1) The subscription contract concluded between you and us shall have the agreed term. If the contract is not terminated by one of the parties in text form (e.g. e-mail) 3 weeks before the end of the contract (unless a different period is stipulated in the respective offer), it shall be tacitly extended by the agreed basic term in each case. If the basic term is more than one year, however, the contract shall be extended by only one year at a time.

(2) The right to terminate without notice for good cause shall remain unaffected.

§ 4 Right of Retention, Retention of Title

(1) You may only exercise a right of retention insofar as claims from the same contractual relationship are concerned.

(2) The goods shall 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. Prior to the transfer of ownership of the goods subject to retention of title, pledging or transfer of ownership by way of security shall not be permissible.

b) You may resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice that accrue to you from the resale, and we accept the assignment. You are further authorized to collect the claim. However, insofar as you do not properly meet your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) If the reserved goods are combined and mixed, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request to the extent that the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released shall be incumbent upon us.

§ 5 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights shall apply.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. If you fail to do so, this shall have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

(3) Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty regulations:

a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer’s product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the item, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the item or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, provided that the transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply

for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
in the case of items which have been used in accordance with their customary use for a building and have caused its defectiveness;
in the case of statutory rights of recourse which you have against us in connection with rights arising from defects.

§ 6 Choice of Law

(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer’s habitual residence is not thereby withdrawn (favorability principle).

(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
