TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

1) SCOPE OF APPLICATION

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) of Bratke Exclusive Cars – Motorsport GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods displayed by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 For contracts for the delivery of tickets, these GTC shall apply accordingly, unless otherwise expressly agreed. These GTCs only regulate the sale of tickets for certain events specified in more detail in the seller’s item description and not the execution of these events. For the execution of the events, the legal provisions in the relationship between the customer and the organizer as well as any terms and conditions of the organizer deviating from these shall apply exclusively. If the seller is not also the organizer, he is not liable for the proper execution of the event, for which the respective organizer is exclusively responsible.

1.3 A consumer in the sense of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be predominantly attributed to his commercial or self-employed professional activity. Entrepreneur in the sense 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 seller’s online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to provide a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer using 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 concluding 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 e-mail), 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 the customer to pay after placing his order. If there are several of the aforementioned alternatives, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer 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 a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 When submitting an offer via the Seller’s online order form, the text of the contract will be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent his order. The Seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this.

2.5 Before the binding submission of the 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 enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. Within the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.6 Order processing and contact are usually carried out by e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) PRICES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

3.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller’s product description, the prices quoted are total prices which include the statutory value added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs that may be incurred shall be stated separately in the respective product description.

3.2 The customer will be informed of the payment option/s in the seller’s online shop.

3.3 If payment is made by means of a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment shall be processed by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “PayPal”), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if the customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the Terms for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full.

 

4) DELIVERY AND SHIPPING CONDITIONS

4.1 The delivery of goods shall be made by dispatch to the delivery address indicated by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address indicated in the Seller’s order processing is decisive for the transaction.

4.2 If the transport company returns the dispatched goods to the seller because delivery to the customer was not possible, the customer shall bear the costs for the unsuccessful dispatch. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the circumstance that led to the impossibility of delivery or if the customer was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the seller had given the customer reasonable notice of the service in advance. Furthermore, this shall not apply with regard to the costs of the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation. In the case of effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in the seller’s revocation instruction shall apply to the costs of return shipment.

4.3 Collection by the customer is not possible for logistical reasons.

4.4 Tickets are provided to the customer as follows: – by e-mail

 

5) RETENTION OF TITLE

If the seller makes advance payment, he reserves the right of ownership of the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price owed.

6) LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS (WARRANTY)

6.1 If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply.

6.2 The customer is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damages to the deliverer and to inform the seller about it. If the customer does not comply with this, this has no effect on his legal or contractual claims for defects.

7) APPLICABLE LAW

All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.

8) PLACE OF JURISDICTION

If the customer acts as a merchant, legal entity under public law or special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the registered office of the seller. If the customer has his registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the registered office of the seller shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract, if the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the professional or commercial activity of the customer. In the above cases, however, the Seller shall in any case be entitled to appeal to the court at the Customer’s place of business.

9) ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

9.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet under the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

This platform serves as a contact point for out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts in which a consumer is involved.
