The offer in our online shop (shop.jopesch.de) and through our other offers outside the online shop , in particular on our website (www.jopesch.de), is aimed exclusively at entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 para 1 BGB, who act in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity when concluding the contract .

(2) All agreements made between you and us in connection with the contract result in particular from these terms and conditions and our written order confirmation.

(3) The version of the General Terms and Conditions valid at the time of conclusion of the contract shall apply. The General Terms and Conditions shall also apply to all future business relations, even if they are not expressly agreed again.

(4) We do not accept any deviating terms and conditions of the customer unless this is expressly declared in writing. This shall also apply if we do not expressly object to the inclusion.

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

(1) The presentation and advertising of items in our online shop does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract.

(2) By submitting an order via the online shop by clicking the button “submit order”, you place a legally binding order. You are bound to the order for a period of four (4) weeks after placing the order.

(3) We will confirm receipt of your order placed via our online shop immediately by e-mail. Such an e-mail does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order unless, in addition to the confirmation of receipt, the acceptance is declared at the same time.

(4) Outside our online shop or after sending the inquiry form via our website, we will send you an offer which is valid for four (4) weeks from the date of the offer, unless the offer contains a different binding period or it is expressly marked as “indicative”, “subject to change” or “without obligation”. An offer on our part is merely the basis for the submission of a binding contractual declaration (application) on your part.

(5) A contract shall only be concluded when we accept your order/assignment by means of a declaration of acceptance or by delivering the ordered items. With the order confirmation or in a separate e-mail, but at the latest upon delivery of the goods, the contract text consisting of the order, GTC and order confirmation will be sent to you by us on a durable data medium.

(6) If the delivery of the goods ordered by you is not possible, for example because the corresponding goods are not in stock, we refrain from a declaration of acceptance. In this case, a contract is not concluded. We will inform you of this immediately and refund any consideration already received without delay.

(7) We have the right to withdraw from the contract if the delivery of the goods becomes impossible due to the fact that suppliers and/or subcontractors cannot deliver goods or parts of the goods and a replacement procurement is only possible for us with disproportionate effort and we are not responsible for the impossibility, provided that these circumstances occurred after the conclusion of the contract, were not foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract and it can be proven that the procurement of similar goods was attempted in a reasonable manner. The customer shall be notified immediately of such a case.
