1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) of Daniel Thonhofer, operating under “mamo pet sports” (hereinafter “Seller”), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter “Customer”) with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online store. The inclusion of the Customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 These GTC shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise expressly stipulated.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.
2. Conclusion of contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online store of the seller do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.
2.2. The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller’s online store. In doing so, 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 concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer may submit the offer to the seller by telephone, e-mail, mail or online contact form.
2.3 The seller may accept the customer’s offer within five days,
– by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (order confirmation by e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer shall be decisive, or
– by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer shall be decisive, or
– by requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed the order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for the acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the sending of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry 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 shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.
2.4 When submitting an offer via the Seller’s online order form, the text of the contract shall be stored by the Seller and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail or letter) after the Customer has sent his order together with these General Terms and Conditions.
