1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Revitool (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller regarding the goods displayed by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise specified.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed.
1.4 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
2) Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online shop do not constitute 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 going through 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 completes 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 email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
- by requesting payment from the Customer after they have placed their order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives are available, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the Customer sends the offer and ends at the end 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, 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
2.5 If the payment method "Amazon Payments" is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, viewable at https://payments.amazon.de
2.6 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the contract text will be stored by the Seller after the contract is concluded and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after their order has been sent. The Seller will not make the contract text accessible beyond this.
2.7 Before submitting 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 magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The Customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that completes the ordering process.
2.8 The German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.9 Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the email address provided by them for order processing is correct, so that emails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the Customer must ensure that all emails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller for 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.
4) Prices and Payment Terms
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory sales tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be stated 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 advance payment by bank transfer is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.4 If a payment method offered via the payment service "PayPal" is selected, payment processing is carried out via PayPal, whereby PayPal may also use the services of third-party payment service providers. If the Seller also offers payment methods via PayPal for which it makes advance payments to the Customer (e.g. purchase on account or installment payment), it assigns its payment claim to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the Customer. Before accepting the Seller's assignment declaration, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal carries 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 credit check result. If the selected payment method is approved, the Customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or in the agreed payment intervals. In this case, they can only make payment to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, the Seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. regarding goods, delivery time, shipping, returns, complaints, declarations of withdrawal and submissions, or credits, even in the case of assignment of claims.
4.5 If the payment method "SOFORT" is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter "SOFORT"). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the Customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", identify themselves accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then carried out immediately by "SOFORT" and the Customer's bank account is debited. Further information on the "SOFORT" payment method can be found on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com
4.6 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Shopify Payments" 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 Shopify Payments are communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop. Stripe may use other payment services for payment processing, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the Customer may be separately informed. Further information on "Shopify Payments" can be found on the Internet at https://www.shopify.com
4.7 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 via 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 the goods, delivery will be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address specified 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 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 dispatch if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. For return shipping costs, the provision in the Seller's cancellation policy applies when the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal.
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 carrier, the freight forwarder 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. Deviating from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods already passes to the Customer, even for consumers, as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the carrier, the freight forwarder or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has commissioned the carrier, the freight forwarder or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the Seller had 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-supply. This only applies if the non-delivery is not the Seller's fault and the Seller has concluded a concrete hedging transaction with the supplier with due care. The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or 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 for logistical reasons.
6) Retention of Title
If the Seller makes advance payments, they retain ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.
7) Liability for Defects (Warranty)
Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions of statutory 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 delivery of the goods;
- for used goods, rights and claims due to defects are excluded;
- the limitation period does not recommence 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, with the restriction of the following paragraph: The limitation period for claims for defects is one year from delivery of the goods if this has been expressly and separately agreed upon between the parties and the Customer was specifically informed of the shortening of the limitation period before submitting their contractual declaration.
7.3 The limitations of liability and shortening of deadlines regulated above 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,
- to goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual use and have caused its defectiveness,
- to 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 statutory right of recourse remain unaffected.
7.5 If the Customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB, 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 reporting obligations regulated therein, the goods are deemed to have been approved.
7.6 If the Customer acts as a consumer, they are requested to report delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the delivery agent and to inform the Seller of this. Failure to do so has no effect on their statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8) Special Conditions for the Processing of Goods According to Specific Customer Requirements
8.1 If, according to the content of the contract, the Seller is obliged to process the goods according to specific customer requirements in addition to delivering the goods, the Customer must provide the Seller with all content required for processing, such as texts, images or graphics, in the file formats, formatting, image and file sizes specified by the Seller, and grant the Seller the necessary rights of use for this. The Customer is solely responsible for procuring and acquiring the rights to this content. The Customer declares and assumes responsibility that they have the right to use the content provided to the Seller. In particular, they ensure that no third-party rights are violated thereby, especially copyrights, trademark rights and personal rights.
8.2 The Customer indemnifies the Seller from claims of third parties that these may assert against the Seller in connection with an infringement of their rights by the Seller's contractual use of the Customer's content. The Customer also bears the necessary costs of legal defense, including all court and attorney fees at the statutory rate. This does not apply if the Customer is not responsible for the infringement. The Customer is obliged to provide the Seller with all information necessary for examining the claims and for defense immediately, truthfully and completely in the event of a claim by third parties.
8.3 The Seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the Customer for this purpose violates legal or official prohibitions or morality. This applies in particular to the provision of unconstitutional, racist, xenophobic, discriminatory, offensive, youth-endangering and/or violence-glorifying content.
9) Redemption of Promotional Vouchers
9.1 Vouchers that are issued free of charge by the Seller as part of promotional campaigns with a specific period of validity and that cannot be purchased by the Customer (hereinafter "Promotional Vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop and only within the specified period.

9.7 The balance of a promotional voucher will neither be paid out in cash nor accrue interest.
9.8 The promotional voucher will not be refunded if the customer returns goods paid for entirely or partially with the promotional voucher within the scope of their statutory right of withdrawal.
9.9 The promotional voucher is intended for use only by the person named on it. Transfer of the promotional voucher to third parties is excluded. The seller is entitled, but not obliged, to verify the material entitlement of the respective voucher holder.
10) Redemption of Gift Vouchers
10.1 Vouchers that can be purchased via the seller's online shop (hereinafter "gift vouchers") can only be redeemed in the seller's online shop, unless otherwise stated on the voucher.

10.8 The gift voucher is transferable. The seller can make payment with discharging effect to the respective holder who redeems the gift voucher in the seller's online shop. This does not apply if the seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the respective holder's lack of authorization, incapacity to contract, or lack of power of representation.
11) Applicable Law
All legal relationships between the parties shall be 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 applies only 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.
