1) SCOPE OF APPLICATION

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) of PETROL HEADZ (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. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by e-mail or telephone.

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), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
  • by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
  • by requesting payment from the customer after the order has been placed.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end 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 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, they also issue a payment order to 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 language is 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 REVOCATION

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.

3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time the contract is concluded and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.

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, additional 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 a payment method offered via the “PayPal” payment service is selected, the payment shall be processed via PayPal, whereby PayPal may also use the services of third party payment service providers for this purpose. If the Seller also offers payment methods via PayPal for which it makes advance payments to the Customer (e.g. purchase on account or payment by installments), it assigns its payment claim in this respect to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the Customer. Before accepting the seller’s declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal shall carry out a credit check using the transmitted customer data. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the selected payment method in the event of a negative check result. If the selected payment method is approved, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or at the agreed payment intervals. In this case, the customer can only pay PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. regarding goods, delivery time, shipment, returns, complaints, revocation declarations and shipments or credit notes, even in the event of assignment of claims.

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. Notwithstanding this, if the payment method PayPal is selected, the delivery address provided by the customer to PayPal at the time of payment shall be decisive.

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 If the seller offers the goods for collection, the customer can collect the ordered goods within the business hours specified by the seller at the address specified by the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

5.6 Vouchers are provided to the customer as follows:

  • via download
  • by e-mail

6) RETENTION OF TITLE

If the seller makes advance payment, he shall retain title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

7) LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS (WARRANTY)

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:

7.1 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;
  • rights and claims for defects are excluded for used goods;
  • the limitation period shall not recommence if a replacement delivery is made as part of the liability for defects.

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

  • for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by 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 normal 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.

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

7.4 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.

7.5 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 CONDITIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF GOODS ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC CUSTOMER SPECIFICATIONS

8.1 If, according to the content of the contract, the Seller is also responsible for processing the goods in accordance with the Customer’s specifications in addition to delivering the goods, the Customer must provide the Seller with all content required for processing, such as texts, images or graphics in the file formats, formatting, image and file sizes specified by the Seller and grant the Seller the necessary rights of use. The customer is solely responsible for the procurement and acquisition of rights to this content. The customer declares and assumes responsibility that he has the right to use the content provided to the seller. In particular, the customer shall ensure that no third-party rights are infringed, especially copyrights, trademark rights and personal rights.

8.2 The customer shall indemnify the seller against claims by third parties which they may assert against the seller in connection with an infringement of their rights through the contractual use of the customer’s content by the seller. The customer shall also assume the necessary costs of legal defense, including all court and attorney’s fees in the statutory amount. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the customer is obliged to provide the seller immediately, truthfully and completely with all information necessary for the examination of the claims and a defense.

8.3 The seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the customer for this purpose violates legal or official prohibitions or offends common decency. This applies in particular to the provision of anti-constitutional, racist, xenophobic, discriminatory, offensive, youth-endangering and/or violence-glorifying content.

9) REDEMPTION OF PROMOTIONAL VOUCHERS

9.1 Vouchers that are issued free of charge by the seller as part of promotions with a specific period of validity and that cannot be purchased by the customer (hereinafter “promotional vouchers”) can only be redeemed in the seller’s online store and only during the specified period.

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

9.10 The promotional voucher is transferable. The seller can make payment with discharging effect to the respective holder who redeems the promotional 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) REDEMPTION OF GIFT VOUCHERS

11) APPLICABLE LAW

11.1 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 insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.

11.2 Furthermore, this choice of law with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.

12) PLACE OF 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 registered office 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. In the above cases, however, the seller is in any case entitled to appeal to the court at the customer’s place of business.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

A. REVOCATION INSTRUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Consumers are entitled to a right of revocation in accordance with the following provisions, whereby a consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity:

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, took possession of the last goods.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us (PETROL HEADZ, Zum Wickenstein 1, 63699 Kefenrod, Deutschland, E-Mail: info@petrol-headz.de) of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). You can use the attached sample withdrawal form, but this is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your notification of exercising your right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

CONSEQUENCES OF REVOCATION

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; under no circumstances will you be charged any fees for this repayment. We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any case within fourteen days at the latest from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the period of fourteen days has expired.

You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods. The direct costs of returning goods which, due to their nature, cannot normally be returned to us by post (forwarding goods) are estimated at a maximum of around 80 euros for each such item.

You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for checking their condition, properties and functionality.

EXCLUSION OR PREMATURE EXPIRY OF THE RIGHT OF REVOCATION

The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the delivery of goods which are not prefabricated and for the manufacture of which an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time the contract is concluded and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.

AFFILIATED/FINANCED TRANSACTIONS

If you finance this contract with a loan and later revoke it, you are also no longer bound by the loan agreement if both contracts form an economic unit. This is to be assumed in particular if we are also your lender or if your lender makes use of our cooperation with regard to the financing. If we have already received the loan when the revocation takes effect or when the goods are returned, your lender shall assume our rights and obligations under the financed contract in relation to you with regard to the legal consequences of the revocation or return. The latter does not apply if the subject of this contract is the acquisition of financial instruments (e.g. securities, foreign exchange or derivatives). If you wish to avoid a contractual commitment as far as possible, make use of your right of withdrawal and also withdraw from the loan agreement if you are also entitled to a right of withdrawal for this.

GENERAL NOTES

1) Please avoid damaging or contaminating the goods. Please return the goods to us in their original packaging with all accessories and packaging components. If necessary, use protective outer packaging. If you no longer have the original packaging, please use suitable packaging to ensure adequate protection against transport damage.
2) Please do not return the goods to us freight collect.
3) Please note that the above paragraphs 1-2 are not a prerequisite for the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal.
