1) Scope of Application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of the company DIAZO e.K. (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 shop. The inclusion of the Client’s own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated.

1.2 A consumer pursuant to these GTC is any natural person concluding a legal transaction for a purpose attributed neither to a mainly commercial nor a self-employed occupational activity. A trader pursuant to these GTC is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity acting in the performance of a commercial or self-employed occupational activity when concluding a legal transaction.

1.3 Digital content in the sense of these GTC is all data not on a tangible medium which are produced in digital form and are supplied by the Seller by granting certain usage rights precisely defined in these GTC.

 

2) Conclusion of the Contract

2.1 The product descriptions in the Seller’s online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but merely serve the purpose of submitting a binding offer by the Client.

2.2 The Client may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller's online shop. In doing so, after having placed the selected goods and/or services in the virtual basket and passed through the ordering process, and by clicking the button finalizing the order process, the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the shopping cart.

2.3 The Seller may accept the Client’s offer within five days,

  • by transferring a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in written form (fax or e-mail); insofar receipt of order confirmation by the Client is decisive, or
  • by delivering ordered goods to the Client; insofar receipt of goods by the Client is decisive, or
  • by requesting the Client to pay after he placed his order.

Provided that several of the aforementioned alternatives apply, the contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives firstly occurs. Should the Seller not accept the Client’s offer within the aforementioned period of time, this shall be deemed as rejecting the offer with the effect that the Client is no longer bound by his statement of intent.

2.4 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract is stored by the Seller after the contract has been concluded and transmitted to the Client in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. The Seller shall not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the Client has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop prior to sending his order, the order data shall be stored on the Seller's website and can be accessed by the Client free of charge via his password-protected user account by specifying the corresponding login data.

2.5 Prior to submitting a binding order via the Seller’s online order form, the Client may recognize input errors by reading attentively the information displayed on the screen. The enlargement function of the browser to enlarge the display on the screen may be an effective method for better recognizing input errors.
The Client can correct all the data entered via the usual keyboard and mouse function during the electronic ordering process, until he clicks the button finalizing the ordering process.

2.6 The German and the English language are exclusively available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.7 Order processing and contacting usually takes place via e-mail and automated order processing. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the e-mail address he provides for the order processing is accurate so that e-mails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. In particular, it is the Client`s responsibility, if SPAM filters are used, to ensure that all e-mails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller with the order processing can be delivered.

2.8 When ordering goods which are covered by the Weapons Act of the Federal Republic of Germany (WaffG), the Client must be of legal age. Clients who wish to acquire weapons and ammunition listed in Annex 2 of the WaffG as weapons and ammunition requiring a permit must hold a purchase permit. The Seller shall point out in the respective article description if the goods in question are covered by the Weapons Act or if they are subject to authorisation within the meaning of Annex 2 of the Weapons Act.

2.9 When ordering goods that are covered by the Weapons Act, the Client assures by sending his order that he is at least 18 years old and that his name and address are correct. The Client further undertakes that only he himself will receive the goods. A delivery of the product takes place only with previous successful examination of the age and an authentication of the Client.

2.10 When ordering goods that are subject to permission under the Weapons Act, proof of the acquisition permit must in addition be provided. Goods subject to permission are only sold and delivered on presentation of a valid purchase permit in the original or as a publicly (officially or notarially) certified copy of all inscribed pages. The goods will only be handed over after a successful age check and authentication of the Client.

Terms & Conditions for ratenkauf by easyCredit (Unfortunately, easyCredit is only possible for our customers with German residence. The place of delivery must match the delivery address in Germany.)

1. Scope and general terms of use The following terms and conditions shall apply between you and the retailer for all contracts concluded with the retailer for which ratenkauf by easyCredit (hereinafter referred to as “Ratenkauf”) is used. In the event of dispute the general terms and conditions contained herein shall take precedence over any general terms and conditions of the retailer. A “Ratenkauf” shall only be made available to customers who are deemed to be consumers according to § 13 BGB (the German civil code) and are aged 18 or over.

2. “Ratenkauf” The retailer, with the support of the TeamBank AG Nürnberg, Beuthener Straße 25, 90471 Nürnberg (hereinafter referred to as TeamBank AG), shall provide “Ratenkauf” as a further payment option for your purchase on the internet. The retailer shall be entitled to determine your credit worthiness. For further details please refer to the “Ratenkauf” data protection provisions on the Payment Page. In the event that the use of “Ratenkauf” is not possible due to insufficient credit worthiness or turnover limitations on the part of the retailer, the retailer shall be entitled to offer you an alternative payment option. The contract for a “Ratenkauf” shall be concluded between you and the retailer. By using “Ratenkauf” you choose to pay the purchase price in monthly instalments. For an agreed fixed duration, monthly instalments shall be paid. In certain circumstances, the final payment may differ from the previous instalments. The goods shall remain the property of the retailer until payment has been made in full. The receivables accrued through the use of „Ratenkauf“ shall be assigned to the Teambank AG in the form of an ongoing factoring agreement. Payments leading to a discharge of the debt may only be made to the Teambank AG.

3. Payment of Instalments by SEPA Direct Debit Through the SEPA direct debit mandate issued with the “Ratenkauf” you authorise the Teambank AG to debit the outstanding payments from the current account indicated during the order process held at the bank specified by way of SEPA direct debit. The Teambank AG shall give notice of the direct debit by e-mail at the latest one calendar day before the direct debit is due (pre-notification). The direct debit shall be executed no earlier than the date indicated in the pre-notification. The transaction can be carried out after but near to the due date. If there is a reduction in the purchase price (e.g. through customer credit) between the prenotification and the due date, the amount debited may differ from the amount stated in the pre-notification. You are responsible for ensuring that your current account holds sufficient funds at the time that the payment is due. Your bank is not obliged to honour the direct debit in the event that your current account does not hold sufficient funds.


If, due to a lack of funds held in the current account, an unjustified refusal by the account holder or account closure, the direct debit is returned, you shall be, without further reminders, deemed to be in default, unless the direct debit was returned in circumstances for which you were not liable. The charges resulting from a returned direct debit shall be passed on to you and shall be settled by you. In the event of default, the TeamBank AG shall be entitled to charge an appropriate reminder fee or interest on arrears at a rate of five percentage points higher than the base rate of the European Central Bank. Due to the high costs associated with returned direct debits, we ask you not to refuse direct debits in the event of withdrawal from the purchase contract, returning the product or making a complaint. In such cases a reverse transfer will be made in agreement with the retailer or the account will be credited.
