(Consumers/Sale of Consumer Goods)


1. Sphere of Application

The commercial relationship between auf blank GmbH, consumers (within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch – BGB)) and customers of the auf blank online shop is governed exclusively by the version of these General Terms and Conditions prevailing at the time the order is made.
We do not recognise any general terms and conditions of the customer that may conflict with the present General Terms and Conditions.


2. The Contract

1) The merchandise descriptions given in our online shop do not represent legally binding offers, rather being purely invitations to the customer to make a purchase offer. When placing an order you have not made a binding contractual offer until you click on "Send Order" at the end of the ordering process. We will then send you an email confirming receipt of your order. However, this does not yet entail acceptance of your order.

2) A binding purchase contract with us first comes into force when we either send you an express order confirmation or accept your offer by sending you the merchandise you have ordered.

The purchase contract is being entered into with

auf blank GmbH
Executive Director
Wolfgang Paulus
Landwehrstr. 60/62
80336 Munich
Munich Lower District Court
(Amtsgericht München),
Commercial Register (HRB)
Entry 183848


In the event of typing errors or miscalculations in our order confirmation we shall be entitled to withdraw from a concluded contract. 3) If you receive neither confirmation of despatch nor the ordered merchandise within two weeks of making your offer, you are no longer bound by your order. 4) Our products may only be purchased for private use. The commercial redistribution of ordered products is prohibited. The right to resell new merchandise is reserved exclusively for our authorised dealers, and we are entitled to cancel confirmed orders made by a commercial reseller. 5) All essential characteristics of the merchandise we offer are stated in the merchandise descriptions provided in the online shop. If and in so far as information provided, for instance prices, is only valid for a limited period, this is also stated in the merchandise descriptions. 6) Our online shop's merchandise offers are non-binding with respect to availability and delivery at short notice. Due to the limited manufacturing volumes of our products, all our offers are made on a "while stocks last" basis. If the merchandise is no longer available we will notify you immediately.
7) Merchandise may vary in colour, size or shape. Any such variation is permissible provided it is only minor and the customer may reasonably be expected to
accept it.

8) If an order involves several products we are entitled to make part deliveries.


3. Delivery Times

The delivery times for individual items of merchandise may vary. They depend on when we receive our supplies, on the shippers we contract and the customer's location, and can accordingly only be stated approximately. The periods or dates given in our online shop therefore represent approximate delivery times and are non-binding.


4. Retention of Title

We retain title to the items we delivery until full payment of the purchase price and associated costs.


5. Prices and Delivery Costs

1) All the prices in euros given in our online shop are per item and include statutory value added tax. Only the prices shown in the shopping basket are valid. Any divergent prices from websites loaded from cache/proxies are inapplicable.
2) The total price for the merchandise, including the associated price components and taxes, is given as the final price. On top of the stated prices we also charge delivery costs, which depend upon the destination country, the chosen shipment method and the content of your order. Details of shipment costs, shipment methods and payment methods are provided during the order process. Before finalising your order you will be notified of the final price including shipment costs.
3) In our online shop we offer you various payment methods of our choosing. If paying in advance, by credit transfer, credit card, direct debit, PayPal or similar, the merchandise must be paid for on conclusion of the order process, with payment being made to the account cited on the invoice. If paying on receipt the merchandise must of course be paid for on delivery. If the merchandise is delivered on account, payment is due within 30 days of receipt of the associated invoice. Thereafter the customer falls into arrears irrespective of whether any reminder has been issued.


6. Warranty

We are confident that the ordered items will be delivered to you in perfect condition. However, in the unlikely event of defects, your rights are governed by the prevailing statutory provisions in this respect. In case of any merchandise defects arising within the statutory limitation period of two years from the date of delivery, you have the right to supplementary performance. If we cannot offer identical items, you can choose between a replacement delivery, rescission of the contract or a reduction in the purchase price.


7. Damages

1) We are liable in cases of malice or gross negligence, including by a representative or vicarious agent, and also, where provided for under the statutory provisions applicable in this respect, for loss of life, injury or impairment of health due to minor negligence.
In other respects we are only liable to the extent laid down in the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz),

for culpable breaches of cardinal contractual obligations, the malicious concealment of a defect or in connection with a guarantee concerning the condition of the delivered item.
2) The right to damages for the culpable breach of cardinal contractual obligations is limited to the foreseeable loss or damage typical of a contract of this kind, unless one of the other instances set out above also simultaneously applies.
3) The provision set out in the above paragraph applies to all claims to damages, in particular to damages as well as performance and damages in lieu of performance, irrespective of the legal grounds, and in particular to damages due for defects, the breach of obligations arising from the contractual relationship or for tortious action.


8. Data Protection

1) The personal data you transmit to us, such as order and account details, will be used exclusively for the purpose of executing your order. All customer data are stored and processed by us in compliance with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG) and the Teleservices Data Protection Act (Teledienstdatenschutzgesetz – TDDSG).
2) We do not pass on your personal data, including your credit report and email address, to third parties except with your express permission, which may be withdrawn at any time. An exception is made in the case of our service partners, who need to be provided with your data in order to execute your order, for instance the shipper contracted to deliver your order and the bank used to process your payment. Credit card data are not stored by us, rather being gathered and processed directly by our e-payment service provider.
3) In furtherance of our legitimate interests in connection with the prospective purchase we may, if necessary, obtain a credit report. However, in all cases the extent of the data transferred will be kept to the minimum necessary for that purpose, and it will not be passed on to other third parties. You have the right to the disclosure, free of charge, of all data stored on you, as well as the right, if applicable, to correct, block or delete said data. If you have any questions concerning the gathering, processing or use of your personal data, or in connection with credit reports and the correction, blocking or deletion of data, please contact shop@auf-blank.com, or alternatively send your questions by letter or fax.
