1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of the company LiveSteil GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") shall apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer or a trader (hereinafter referred to as "Client") and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services presented in the Seller's online store. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise agreed.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed primarily to their commercial or independent professional activity.

1.4 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online store do not constitute 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. 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.

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 (fax or 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 is decisive, or
• by requesting payment from the customer after the customer's order has been placed.

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 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment shall be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "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 and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.5 If the payment method "Amazon Payments" is selected, payment is processed via the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, which can be viewed at https://payments.amazon.de/help/201751590. If the customer selects "Amazon Payments" as the payment method during the online ordering process, he also places a payment order with Amazon by clicking the button that concludes the order process. In this case, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the point in time at which the customer initiates the payment process by clicking the button concluding the order process.

2.6 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller after the contract is concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the customer's order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online store before sending his order, the order data is archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.

2.7 Before submitting a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can recognize 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 magnification function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. Customers can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click on the button that completes the ordering process.

2.8 The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.9 Order processing and contact are generally 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) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's withdrawal policy.

4) Prices and Terms of Payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online store.

4.4 If advance payment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment shall be due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed a later due date.

4.5 If the "SOFORT" payment method is selected, payment is processed via the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter referred to as "SOFORT"). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", legitimize himself accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then immediately carried out by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account is debited. The customer can find more information on the "SOFORT" payment method on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.

4.6 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Shopify Payments" is selected, the payment is processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe"). The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments are communicated to the customer in the seller's online store. Stripe may use other payment services to process payments, for which special payment terms may apply, to which the customer may be informed separately. Further information on "Shopify Payments" is available on the Internet at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de.

4.7 If a payment method offered via the "mollie" payment service is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Mollie B.V., Keizersgracht 313, 1016 EE Amsterdam, Netherlands (hereinafter: "mollie"). The individual payment methods offered via mollie are communicated to the customer in the seller's online store. To process payments, mollie may use other payment services for which special payment terms may apply, to which the Customer may be informed separately. Further information on "mollie" is available on the Internet at https://www.mollie.com/de/.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 If the seller offers to ship the goods, delivery shall be made within the delivery area specified by the seller to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive for the processing of the transaction.

5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. If the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation, the provision in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the return costs.

5.3 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, carrier or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall not pass until the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Notwithstanding this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer, even in the case of consumers, as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.

5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care. The seller shall make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer shall be informed immediately and the consideration shall be reimbursed without delay.

5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

5.6 Vouchers are provided to the customer as follows:

- by e-mail

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payment, he retains ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

7.1 Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions of statutory liability for defects shall apply. In deviation from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:

7.2 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,

• the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
• the limitation period for defects in new goods is one year from delivery of the goods;
• the rights and claims due to defects are excluded for used goods;
• the limitation period shall not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

7.3 The aforementioned limitations of liability and shortening of time limits do not apply

• for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses of the customer,
• in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
• for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness,
• for any existing obligation of the seller to provide updates for digital products, in the case of contracts for the supply of goods with digital elements.

7.4 In addition, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing statutory right of recourse shall remain unaffected.

7.5 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB (German Commercial Code), he shall be subject to the commercial obligation to inspect and give notice of defects pursuant to § 377 HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved.

7.6 If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer fails to do so, this shall have no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) Special actions

8.1 In the event of a special promotion for the purchase of several goods at a special price, which is achieved by purchasing the goods in combination, we would like to point out that the special price is no longer valid in the event of a refund in the event of a return. If part of the combined order is returned, the offer price of the retained products will be recalculated in accordance with the promotion. We will therefore refund the difference between the recalculated offer price of the retained products and the invoice amount already paid.

8.2 Special promotions cannot be combined with other voucher or discount codes

8.3 Discount codes of a special promotion can only be redeemed during the respective period of the special promotion.

9) Redemption of gift vouchers

9.1 Vouchers that can be purchased via the seller's online store (hereinafter referred to as "gift vouchers") can only be redeemed in the seller's online store, unless otherwise stated in the voucher.

9.2 Gift vouchers and remaining credit on gift vouchers can be redeemed until the end of the third year after the year in which the voucher was purchased. Remaining credit will be credited to the customer until the expiration date.

9.3 Gift vouchers can only be redeemed before the order process is completed. Subsequent offsetting is not possible.

9.4 Only one gift voucher can be redeemed per order.

9.5 Gift vouchers can only be used for the purchase of goods and not for the purchase of further gift vouchers.

9.6 If the value of the gift voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the seller can be chosen to settle the difference.

9.7 The balance of a gift voucher is neither paid out in cash nor does it bear interest.

9.8 The gift voucher is transferable. The seller may make payment with discharging effect to the respective holder who redeems the gift voucher in the seller's online store. This does not apply if the seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the non-authorization, legal incapacity or lack of power of representation of the respective holder.

10) Applicable law

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties 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 to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.

11) Jurisdiction

If the customer acts as a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a 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 place of business of the seller. If the customer is domiciled outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller's place of business 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 customer's professional or commercial activity. However, in the aforementioned cases, the Seller shall in any case be entitled to invoke the court at the Customer's place of business.

12) Code of conduct

• The seller has submitted to the guidelines for "Google Customer Reviews", which can be viewed on the Internet at https://support.google.com/merchants/topic/7105962.

13) Alternative dispute resolution

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

This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts involving a consumer.

13.2 The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
