General terms and conditions and customer information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as provider Philipp Gerger via the Herloons.shop website. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms and conditions you may have used is objected to.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot primarily be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity (hereinafter “customer” or “consumer”). An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.

(2) When you place 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 stated 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 access the shopping cart using the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
  • After clicking the “Checkout” or “Continue to order” button (or similar name) and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order details will be displayed to you as an order overview.
  • If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay) as your payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or redirected to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
  • If you are forwarded 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 shop.
  • Before sending the order, you have the opportunity to check the information in the order overview again, change it (also using the “back” function of the internet browser) or cancel the order.
  • By submitting the order using the corresponding button (e.g. “order with payment”, “buy”, “order with payment”, “pay” or similar designation) you declare your legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.

(4) Your requests to create an offer are non-binding for you. We will make you a binding offer in text form (e.g. by email), which you can accept within 5 days (unless another deadline is stated in the respective offer).

(5) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by email. You must therefore ensure that the email address you provide to us is correct, that receipt of emails is technically ensured and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title

(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.

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

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

  • a) We reserve ownership of the goods until all claims from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. Pledging or transfer of security is not permitted before ownership of the reserved goods is transferred.
  • b) You can resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that arise from the resale and we accept the assignment. You are still authorized to collect the claim. However, if you do not properly meet your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
  • c) If the reserved goods are combined or mixed, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.
  • d) 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 are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.

§ 4 Warranty

(1) The statutory liability rights for defects apply. The statutory provisions of Austrian warranty law apply to consumers (in particular ABGB and VGG).

(2) As a consumer, you are asked to check the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to report any complaints to us and the freight forwarder as quickly as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

(3) If a feature of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation is only considered agreed if you were informed of the same by us before the contract declaration was made and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.

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

  • a) Only our own information and the manufacturer's product description are deemed to be agreed as to the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public praise and statements made by the manufacturer.
  • b) In the event of defects, we will provide warranty through improvement or replacement at our discretion. If the defect cannot be remedied, you can either request a price reduction or withdraw from the contract (cancellation).
  • c) The warranty period for entrepreneurs is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortened deadline does not apply to personal injuries sustained by us or damages caused by gross negligence or intent.

§ 5 Choice of law and place of jurisdiction

(1) Austrian law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law only applies to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his or her habitual residence (principle of favorability according to Article 6 Rome I-VO).

(2) If the customer is not a consumer within the meaning of the KSchG, the court with jurisdiction over our registered office is the exclusive place of jurisdiction.
