General Terms and Conditions for Consumers
General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of BestEffect GmbH
1. Scope of GTC
We execute your order according to our GTC valid at the time of the order. Our General Terms and Conditions in their current version are available to you on our website www.besteffect.com under the heading "General Terms and Conditions" as well as via a direct link at the bottom of each individual page. These General Terms and Conditions in the version valid at the time of the order apply to all business relations between BestEffect GmbH and its customers with regard to the goods and services offered by the seller in his web shop.
2. Conclusion of contract
You can order from us by telephone or via our homepage (Internet). In the case of orders placed by telephone without specifying the method of payment, we reserve the right to send the goods cash on delivery (see below).
Our offers on our homepage (Internet) are subject to change and non-binding. You can select products from our range in the desired quantity and collect them in a so-called shopping basket by clicking on the button "add to shopping basket". You can change and view the data at any time before sending the order. By clicking on the button "order with obligation to pay", you make a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the purchase of the product in question. Immediately after receipt of an offer, we will send you a confirmation of receipt of the offer, which does not constitute acceptance. We are then entitled to accept your offer within 14 calendar days by sending you an order confirmation (by post or by e-mail) or by sending you the ordered goods. Your order shall only be deemed to have been accepted when we have accepted it by means of an order confirmation or when you have received the goods. We are not obliged to accept an offer. If your offer is not accepted by us within 14 calendar days, the offer is deemed to be rejected. No contract of sale shall be concluded for products that are not listed in the order confirmation.
A password required for ordering may not be passed on to third parties. In the event of disclosure, you shall also be liable for orders placed by the third party. You are responsible for any orders placed with your password and any resulting claims.
Our offer is aimed at end consumers. Therefore, only orders in household quantities will be accepted.
3. Delivery
We dispatch goods marked as "immediately available" by standard dispatch at the latest on the 5th working day (the day on which the goods are handed over by us to the shipping company is decisive) after
a) The day of receipt of the full purchase price including VAT and shipping costs, if delivery against advance payment has been agreed, or
b) The day of the conclusion of the purchase contract if payment by cash on delivery, invoice or credit card has been agreed.
We generally assume that delivery of the goods to addresses within the Federal Republic of Germany will take approx. 1 to 3 working days.
Should an item exceptionally not be available or not be available as quickly, we will inform you as soon as possible of the delivery date or alternatively that the delivery cannot take place. We reserve the right to make a partial delivery if this appears to be advantageous for a quick processing and if this is reasonable for you. If a partial delivery is made, we will of course pay the additional shipping costs. This will not result in any further costs for you.
If we are unable to deliver the goods ordered by you through no fault of our own, we expressly reserve the right to withdraw from the contract.
4. Cancellation policy
Commencement of the cancellation policy
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 which can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity:
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.
The revocation period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods or the day on which you have received the goods,
- Have taken possession of the goods, if you have ordered one or more goods as part of a single order and the goods are delivered as a whole, or
- Has or have taken possession of the last goods if you have ordered several goods as part of a single order and the goods are delivered separately, or
- Has/have taken possession of the last partial consignment or the last piece, if you have ordered goods which are delivered in several partial consignments or pieces.
If there is more than one of the above, the withdrawal period will not start until you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last goods or the last partial shipment or the last item.
In order to exercise the right of revocation, you must send us

Wörthstr. 13-15

By means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail) about your decision to revoke this contract. You can use the model withdrawal form below, which is not mandatory.
In order to comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for you to send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you withdraw from this contract, we must refund all payments we have received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without delay and at the latest within fourteen days of the day on which we received the notification of your withdrawal 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; in no case will you be charged for this repayment.
We may refuse repayment until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.
You must return or hand over the goods to us without delay and in any case no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days.
You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
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 the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.
End of the cancellation policy

11. Data protection /personal data
Our privacy policy can be found here: https://shop.besteffect.com/Informationen/Datenschutz/
12. Exclusion of liability
12.1 The following exclusions and limitations of liability apply to the Seller's liability for damages, without prejudice to the other legal requirements for claims.
12.2 The Seller shall be liable without limitation insofar as the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence.
12.3 Furthermore, the Seller shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which jeopardises the achievement of the purpose of the contract, or for the breach of obligations, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the customer regularly relies. In this case, however, the Seller shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. The Seller shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those referred to in the above sentences.
12.4 The above limitations of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health, for a defect following the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the product and for fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

13. Claims for defects
The product illustrations do not always have to correspond to the appearance of the delivered products. In particular, changes in the appearance and equipment of the products may occur after the manufacturers have updated their product ranges. Claims for defects do not exist insofar as the changes are insignificant and reasonable for the customer.
14. Applicable law
German law shall apply to all disputes arising from or on the basis of this agreement, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
In the case of contracts for a purpose which cannot be attributed to the professional or commercial activity of the entitled party (contract with consumers), this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted is not thereby withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
If the contractual partner is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction shall be Nuremberg.
