General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic regulations

(1) The following terms and conditions are valid for contracts, which you conclude with us as a supplier (MakroElectronics GmbH) over the Internet page http://www.makroelectronics.com. As far as not agreed differently, the inclusion of own conditions possibly used by you is contradicted.

(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 or her independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Formation of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods and/or the provision of repair services and/or the provision of installation services.

(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we submit a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping basket system on the terms and conditions stated in the item description

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping basket system as follows:
The goods and/or repair services 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 clicking the "Checkout" or "Proceed to order" button (or similar designation) and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed to you as an order overview.

If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort, giropay) as a payment method, you will either be directed to the order overview page in our online shop or to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, make the corresponding selection or enter your data there. Finally, you will be shown the order data as an order overview on the website of the provider of the instant payment system or after you have been redirected back to our online shop.

Before submitting the order, you have the option of checking the information in the order overview again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the order.
By sending the order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order with obligation to pay", "pay" / "pay now" or similar designation), 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 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 Performance of installation services
 
(1) Insofar as assembly services are the subject matter of the contract, we owe the assembly work resulting from the service description. We shall perform this work personally or through third parties to the best of our knowledge and belief.

(2) The service shall be provided on the agreed dates.
 
(3) You are obliged to cooperate. In particular, you shall provide the opportunity to enter the premises in a walk-in and reasonably hazard-free condition at the time of performance of the installation services. Furthermore, you are obliged to provide us with electrical power and water, if necessary. We are entitled to terminate the part of the contract concerning the provision of installation services in accordance with § 643 BGB (German Civil Code) if you fail to comply with your obligations to cooperate. For this purpose, we shall set you a reasonable period of time during which you can make up for the necessary cooperation.
 
(4) If you make use of your right of termination according to § 648 S. 1 BGB (German Civil Code), we can demand 10% of the agreed remuneration as a lump sum if the execution has not yet begun. However, if the statutory right of cancellation exists, this shall only apply if you do not exercise your right of cancellation until after the expiry of the cancellation period. You retain the right to prove that we have actually incurred no costs or significantly lower costs.
 
§ 4 Provision of services for repairs

(1) Insofar as repair services are the subject matter of the contract, we owe the repair work resulting from the service description. We shall perform these to the best of our knowledge and belief either personally or through third parties.

(2) You are obliged to cooperate, in particular you must describe the defect in the device as comprehensively as possible and make the defective device available.

(3) You shall bear the costs for sending the defective device to us.

(4) Unless otherwise stated in the respective offer, the repair, including the dispatch of the device, will be carried out within 5 - 7 days after receipt of the device to be repaired (in the case of agreed advance payment, however, only after the time of your payment instruction).

(5) If you make use of your right of termination according to § 648 S. 1 BGB (German Civil Code), we can demand 10% of the agreed remuneration as a lump sum if the execution has not yet begun. However, if the statutory right of cancellation exists, this shall only apply if you do not exercise your right of cancellation until after the expiry of the cancellation period. You retain the right to prove that we have actually incurred no costs or significantly lower costs.

§ 5 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 Creditreform Leipzig KG, Hahnekamm 1, 04003 Leipzig, 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 the payment method on account or direct debit as a result of the credit assessment.

(2) Payment via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout".
If you select a payment method offered via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout", the payment will be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A.

You can find more information on "PayPal" at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full.

§ 6 Right of retention, retention 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 of the goods subject to retention of title, a pledge or transfer of ownership by way of security is not permitted.

b) You may resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case you already now assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount accruing to you from the resale; we accept the assignment. You are further authorised to collect the claim. However, insofar as you do not properly fulfil 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 insofar as the realisable 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.

§ 7 Warranty

(1) The statutory rights of liability for defects shall apply.

(2) Insofar as you are informed of this by us prior to submission of the contractual declaration and this has been expressly and separately agreed, the limitation period for claims for defects in used goods shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The above restriction shall not apply

- for culpably caused damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of 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 goods.
 
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the goods 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 not affect your statutory warranty claims.

(4) If a feature of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.

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

a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, 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 or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your discretion, 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 goods 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 transfer of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, provided that the transfer does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

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

- for culpably caused 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 for a building in accordance with their customary use 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.

§ 8 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction

(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence is not withdrawn as a result (favourability principle).

(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the business relations with us and the place of jurisdiction shall be our registered office if you are not a consumer but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if your place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is brought. The right to also bring an action before the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.

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