1. Validity Towards Entrepreneurs and Definitions
1.1 Scope and Applicability:
The following terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as "Terms and Conditions") govern all deliveries and services provided by A1 GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "the Seller") to consumers. These Terms and Conditions apply in their version that is valid at the time of the order and are an integral part of all contractual agreements between the Seller and the consumer, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
1.2 Consumer Definition:
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, a consumer is defined as any natural person who enters into a legal transaction with the Seller for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business, or profession. This definition is in accordance with § 13 of the European Civil Code (ECC). The consumer is typically someone who purchases goods or services for personal, domestic, or household use, and not for commercial gain or professional purposes.
1.3 Entrepreneur Definition:
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 the exercise of their trade, business, or profession (§ 14 ECC). These Terms and Conditions are primarily tailored to consumers, and different terms may apply to transactions with entrepreneurs, which will be stipulated in separate agreements or specific contractual conditions.
1.4 Legal Framework:
These Terms and Conditions are framed within the context of the applicable laws and regulations of the European Union. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and mandatory statutory provisions, the statutory provisions shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.
1.5 Acceptance of Terms:
By placing an order with the Seller, the consumer acknowledges and agrees to these Terms and Conditions. Any terms and conditions proposed by the consumer that deviate from, conflict with, or add to these Terms and Conditions are expressly rejected unless the Seller has explicitly agreed to them in writing.
1.6 Modifications and Amendments:
The Seller reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice, provided such amendments do not unreasonably disadvantage the consumer. The version of the Terms and Conditions valid at the time of the order will apply to that order, unless a change to these Terms and Conditions is required by law or government authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by the consumer).

- Select the desired goods

3.3 Duties and Taxes for International Deliveries:
For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional duties, taxes, or fees may be imposed by local customs or tax authorities. These costs are not included in the stated prices and are the sole responsibility of the consumer.

The seller assumes no responsibility for any such additional charges.

The consumer’s payment details will be processed using secure encryption technology to protect against unauthorized access and ensure the confidentiality of payment information.

The seller will notify the consumer of such cancellation and any payments made for the incorrect orders will be refunded promptly.
3.8 Due Date for Payment:

The seller retains ownership of the goods until full payment has been received.

Should the delivery period end on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday at the delivery location, it will extend to the next business day.
4.2 Transfer of Risk:
The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods transfers to the buyer only upon delivery of the item.

Upon delivery, the buyer assumes all responsibility for the goods, including loss, theft, damage, or destruction.

The buyer will be notified of any changes to the shipping method, and the seller will ensure that the alternative method is of equal or greater quality to the originally selected method.
4.5 Responsibility for Delays:
The seller is not responsible for any delays in the delivery timeframe. While the seller strives to meet all estimated delivery times, delays can occur due to circumstances beyond the seller’s control, including but not limited to customs clearance, natural disasters, strikes, or transportation issues. The seller will not be liable for any damages or losses caused by such delays.

The buyer will receive a full refund of any amounts paid for the order. The seller will not be liable for any additional costs or damages incurred by the buyer due to the cancellation of the order.

6.3 Return Request Procedure:
The consumer must request a return on the webshop’s website following the correct procedure. An item cannot be returned without following the specified procedure and obtaining approval for the return request. The return request must be approved by the seller before the consumer can send back the goods.
6.4 Cancellation of Shipped Orders:
Once an order has been shipped, it cannot be cancelled. In such cases, the consumer must follow the standard return procedure to send back the goods after receiving them. The cancellation option is no longer available after the goods have left the seller's facility.

A return fee of a minimum EUR 4.95 will be charged to cover the cost of the return label. However, the consumer can avoid this fee by opting to send the items back using their own return label. The return fee, if applicable, will be deducted from the refund amount.
6.6 Cooperation for Returns and Claims:
If it is not feasible to arrange for a pickup of a return or claim, the consumer agrees to bring the product to a location where shipping is possible.

6.7 Consequences of Withdrawal:
If the consumer withdraws from this contract, the seller shall reimburse all payments received from the consumer, including delivery costs (except for the additional costs arising if the consumer chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by the seller), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which the seller received notification of the withdrawal from this contract. For this repayment, the seller will use the same means of payment that the consumer used for the initial transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise. If a refund must be processed in a different manner than the original payment method, the refund may take up to 180 days to process. In no case will the consumer be charged any fees for this repayment. The seller may withhold reimbursement until the seller has received the goods back or the consumer has supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is earlier.
6.8 Return of Goods:
The consumer must return the goods without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day on which the consumer informs the seller of the withdrawal from this contract.

The cost of the return shipping will be deducted from the refund amount.
6.9 Reshipment of Unclaimed Orders:
If an order is not picked up by the customer and is returned to the seller, the seller will reship the order to the customer with additional costs for the buyer. These additional costs will include any return shipping charges and any other applicable fees.
6.10 Condition of Returned Goods:
If a product is returned damaged or without the original packaging, the seller reserves the right to deduct an appropriate amount from the refund to cover the loss in value. The exact amount deducted will depend on the condition of the returned goods and the extent to which the product has been used or damaged.
6.11 Exclusions from Right of Withdrawal:
The right of withdrawal does not apply to the purchase of products that are manufactured specifically to the customer's specifications, are clearly tailored to personal needs, or are manufactured on demand.
