Terms and Conditions

General terms and conditions of business

1. Scope

The following terms and conditions apply to all orders placed via our online shop by consumers and businesses.

A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor independent professional. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person, or a partnership with legal capacity, who, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

These General Terms and Conditions also apply to future business relationships with businesses, without us having to refer to them again. If the business uses conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions, their validity is hereby rejected; they will only become part of the contract if we have expressly agreed to them.

2. Contracting parties, conclusion of contract

The purchase contract is concluded with GSR Gustav Stursberg GmbH.

By placing the products in our online shop, we make a binding offer to conclude a contract for these items. You can initially place our products in your shopping cart without obligation and correct your entries at any time before submitting your binding order by using the correction tools provided and explained during the ordering process. The contract is concluded when you accept the offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the order button. Immediately after submitting the order, you will receive a confirmation email.

3. Contract language, contract text storage
The languages ​​available for concluding the contract are German and English.

We save the contract text and send you the order details and our terms and conditions by email. You can view the contract text in our customer login.

4. Delivery conditions

Shipping costs are added to the stated product prices. You can find more information about shipping costs in the individual offers.

We only ship by mail. Unfortunately, pickup is not possible.

5. Payment

In our shop you can generally use the following payment methods:

credit card
When you place your order, you will also provide us with your credit card details.
Once you have verified your identity as the legitimate cardholder, we will request your credit card company to initiate the payment transaction immediately after your order. The payment transaction will be processed automatically by the credit card company, and your card will be charged.

PayPal
During the ordering process, you will be redirected to the website of the online provider PayPal. To pay the invoice amount via PayPal, you must be registered there or first register, authenticate yourself with your login details, and confirm the payment instruction to us. After placing your order in the shop, we will request PayPal to initiate the payment transaction.
The payment transaction will be processed automatically by PayPal immediately afterward. Further instructions will be provided during the ordering process.

6. Retention of title

The goods remain our property until full payment has been made.
The following additionally applies to entrepreneurs: We retain title to the goods until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. You may resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business; you assign to us in advance all claims arising from this resale – regardless of whether the reserved goods are combined or mixed with a new item – in the amount of the invoice amount, and we accept this assignment. You remain authorized to collect the claims; however, we may also collect claims ourselves if you fail to meet your payment obligations.

7. Transport damage

For consumers:
If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please report such defects to the delivery person as soon as possible and contact us immediately. Failure to file a complaint or contact us will have no consequences for your statutory rights and their enforcement, in particular your warranty rights. However, you will help us assert our own claims against the carrier or transport insurance.

For entrepreneurs:
The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration passes to you as soon as we have delivered the item to the freight forwarder, carrier, or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. Among merchants, the obligation to inspect and notify defects stipulated in Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) applies. If you fail to provide the notification stipulated therein, the goods shall be deemed accepted, unless the defect was not detectable upon inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.

8. Warranty and guarantees

The statutory warranty for defects applies. Information on any applicable additional warranties and their exact terms and conditions can be found with the product and on special information pages in the online shop.

9. Liability

We are always liable without limitation for claims based on damages caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents

  • in case of injury to life, body or health,
  • in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty,
  • in the case of guarantee promises, if agreed, or
  • insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is open.

In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations), due to slight negligence on our part, our legal representatives, or our vicarious agents, liability is limited to the damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.

10. Dispute resolution
We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

11. Final provisions

If you are an entrepreneur, German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If you are a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between you and us is our place of business.
