General terms and conditions and customer information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic provisions

(1) The following business terms are applicable to all the contracts which you conclude with us as a supplier (SMARTBett GmbH) via the www.smartbett.eu website. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions, if any, is contradicted.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following provisions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who or which, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in exercise of his or its 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 installation services.

(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we make you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping cart system 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 clicking on the "Checkout" or "Continue to order" button (or similar) and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will be displayed 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 taken to the order overview page in our online store or redirected to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
  • If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, make the appropriate selection or enter your data there. Finally, the order data will be displayed 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 store.
  • 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 canceling the order.
  • By sending the order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy"/"buy now", "pay"/"pay now" or similar), you declare legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.

(4) Your requests for a quotation 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 another period is specified 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 partially 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 ensured and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Performance of assembly services

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

(2) The service shall be provided on the agreed dates.

(3) You are obliged to cooperate. In particular, you must provide the opportunity to enter the premises in an accessible and reasonably safe condition at the time of performance of the installation services. Furthermore, you are obliged to provide us with electrical power and, if necessary, water. We are entitled to terminate the part of the contract concerning the provision of installation services in accordance with § 643 BGB if you do not fulfill your obligations to cooperate. We will set you a reasonable deadline for this, during which you can make up for the necessary cooperation.

(4) If you make use of your right of termination in accordance with § 648 p. 1 BGB, we may demand 10% of the agreed remuneration as a lump sum if performance has not yet begun. However, if the statutory right of revocation exists, this shall only apply if you exercise your right of termination after the expiry of the revocation period. You reserve the right to prove that we have actually incurred no or significantly lower costs.

§ 5 Right of retention, retention of title

(1) You may only exercise a right of retention insofar as it relates to claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

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

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following also applies:

  • We reserve title to the goods until all claims arising from the current business relationship have been settled in full. Pledging or transfer by way of security is not permitted prior to the transfer of ownership of the reserved goods.
  • 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 amount that accrue to you from the resale; we accept the assignment. You are further authorized to collect the claim. However, if you do not properly meet your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
  • If the goods subject to retention of title are combined and mixed, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title to the other processed items at the time of processing.
  • 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%. We shall be responsible for selecting the securities to be released.

§ 6 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights apply.

(2) Insofar as you are informed of this by us before submitting the contractual declaration and this has been expressly and separately agreed, the limitation period for claims for defects for used goods is 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 for other damage caused intentionally or through 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 will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

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

(5) If 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, either rectify the defect or deliver a replacement. 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 the 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 have to bear the increased costs incurred by moving the goods to a location other than the place of performance, provided that the move 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 in the case of other damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence;

- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the goods;

- for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness;

- in the case of statutory recourse claims that you have against us in connection with warranty rights.

§ 7 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 afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence is not thereby withdrawn (principle of favorability).

(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the business relationship 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 appeal to the court at another legal place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.

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