General Terms and Conditions (GTC)
and Consumer Information

1. PLACEMENT OF ORDERS

a) The following conditions are accepted by placing an order. They apply to all contracts, deliveries and services of Lebkuchen-Schmidt. They shall also apply to all present and future business relations, even if they are not expressly agreed again.

b) Any other terms and conditions of the customer are hereby expressly rejected. They are also not valid if they are not contradicted again after receipt by Lebkuchen-Schmidt.

c) Subsidiary agreements, amendments or supplements must be in text form; this also applies to this text form requirement itself.

d) Lebkuchen-Schmidt is not liable for errors in the transmission by telephone, telegram and other telecommunication devices.

 

2. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT IN THE ONLINESHOP

With the information on products in our printed advertising material or in the internet shop we do not yet make a legally binding offer to you to purchase the products. Your order for the products is thus a binding offer on your part to us. A sales contract with us is concluded by our confirmation of order or by the goods delivery within three working-days and/or to your desired date of delivery (subject to goods availability).

 

3. DELIVERY

a)a) Lebkuchen-Schmidt only delivers from an order value of € 5.00.

b) Lebkuchen-Schmidt chooses the type of shipping, unless other agreements are expressly made. Lebkuchen-Schmidt bears the costs of the domestic shipping method chosen by Gingerbread-Schmidt if the order value per delivery address exceeds 40,00 €. However, for an order value from 5,00 € to 39,99 € Lebkuchen-Schmidt charges shipping costs in the amount of 3,90 € within Germany.

c) Delivery is "free to door" (i.e. behind the first lockable door). We are also happy to deliver "free place of use" (i.e. 2nd floor). Fees for this, as well as for desired fixed dates, are available on request.

d) If an expressly agreed delivery is not possible and a new delivery becomes necessary, the additional costs for this shall be borne by the customer.

e) Lebkuchen-Schmidt delivers outside Germany according to the respective country-specific import regulations. As a rule, no customs costs and/or additional customs duties are levied in the countries of destination. Should this be the case, however, the customer must always pay for these costs. Lebkuchen-Schmidt is not able to calculate or accept these costs.

 

4. TRANSFER OF RISK

If the customer is a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods, even in the case of mail order purchases, shall not pass to the customer until the goods are handed over to him.

 

5. DELIVERY PROBLEMS

a) Lebkuchen-Schmidt is not responsible for delays in delivery and performance due to force majeure and due to events that make delivery by the seller considerably more difficult or impossible - e.g. subsequently occurring difficulties in procuring materials, operational breakdowns, strike, lockout, lack of personnel, lack of means of transport, official orders, etc. - even in the case of bindingly agreed delivery times. In this case, no claims for damages arise for the purchaser.

b) If the disturbance lasts longer than 14 days, each party to the contract is entitled to withdraw from the contract. In this case, claims for damages are excluded for both parties.

 

6. GUARANTEE

There is a legal right of liability for defects for the goods.

We will use the same means of payment for this refund as you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you, and in no event will you be charged for this refund.

Orders from persons not of full age are hereby expressly rejected in accordance with § 111 BGB [German Civil Code].
