1. Conclusion of contract.

Clicking on the “Add to cart” button in our online shop places your selected product(s) in the virtual shopping basket. Clicking on the shopping trolley symbol takes you to the virtual shopping basket. Here you can review your order, delete products or amend quantities.

Clicking on “Proceed” starts the order process that you complete by clicking on “Buy now” in the final step. In doing so, you are submitting a legally binding contractual offer regarding the product(s) in the shopping basket.

You will automatically be informed by email that we have received your order and the message will also include the details of your order. This email does not constitute acceptance of your offer.

We will only store this contract text until acceptance of the sales contract and thereafter it will no longer be possible to retrieve it. If you would like to retain a copy of the contract text for yourself, please save a copy of our acknowledgement email.

Assuming no contract has been concluded between you and us, the prices stated are subject to change and are subject to prior sale.

When paying via PayPal, credit card or advance payment / prepayment, the sales contract shall be concluded upon issue of your payment order.

When paying on account or by cash on delivery, the sales contract shall be concluded when we confirm your order. This happens no later than five days from receipt of the order either through the sending of an ‘order confirmation’ in writing, notification of delivery or through the delivery of the goods; during this time, you are bound to your order.

2. Delivery date and delivery.

Unless stated otherwise, we will deliver within three weeks. Where delivery is to a foreign address, the delivery time is extended by one week. The delivery date is calculated from the date on which you receive our order confirmation. If you are paying in advance, the delivery time begins three days after your payment order to your bank.

For freight shipments, you are required to inform us prior to dispatch of any known restrictions that might affect the delivery vehicle.

All freight shipments are delivered to the kerbside of the address provided by you.

All prices stated are in euros. All prices for customers include statutory VAT.

a) VAT on orders from abroad:
For deliveries to end users within the EU, the statutory VAT rate applies. For deliveries to end users in other European Union (EU) countries, the current German VAT rate applies, unless the item is exempt under Section 4, Clause 1b) in conjunction with Section 6a of the UStG (German VAT Act). For deliveries outside the EU, prices will be reduced by the amount of German VAT included. Payment of any country-specific import sales tax, as well as possible customs duties and fees, is the customer’s responsibility.

For order values of less than 39 euros, we apply a minimum order surcharge of 5 euros for all orders from Germany. The minimum order surcharge is shown on our order forms and is automatically displayed for online orders.

6. Statutory right of withdrawal and voluntary right of return

If you are neither purchasing the goods for commercial use nor for your own business purposes and you are resident within the European Union, you have the statutory right to withdraw from this contract, in accordance with Sections 312g and 355 of the BGB (German Civil Code). Details of how to do so follow at the end of these T&Cs.

Irrespective of all statutory return and cancellation rights, we also offer all customers a 100-day returns guarantee, without them having to provide a reason, in accordance with the following terms and conditions.

The returns period begins following complete delivery of the goods. In order to qualify for this guarantee, it is sufficient to send the items on time. For those items that cannot be sent by post (e.g. bulky items), a written return request will suffice. The return or the return request must be sent to: Sport-Thieme GmbH, Helmstedter Strasse 40, D-38368 Grasleben, Germany, fax: +49 5357 970 305, email: aftersales@sport-thieme.de.

You are liable for the cost of returns or return postage. We can refuse to refund the purchase price until we have received the returned goods. We can demand advance payment of the transport costs before we take back items that cannot be sent by post.

Excluded from this returns guarantee are items that are damaged or items that show signs of use beyond what would be expected when ascertaining the quality, features and functionality of the item. The returns guarantee also excludes items that have been specially made (bespoke) or items where the seal has been broken.

7. Defects.

If the goods are defective, then your statutory rights will apply subject to clause 8. If you do receive a defective item despite our comprehensive quality controls, our customer care team will be happy to help you.

8. Liability.

Customer claims for compensation are not accepted. Exceptions to this are where loss of life, injury to body or health or a breach of contractual obligations have occurred as well as liabilities for other damages, due to wilful or grossly negligent acts by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents. Essential contractual commitments are those necessary to ensure the fulfilment of the contract aims. In the case of a negligent breach of contractual duties, our liability is limited to foreseeable damages typical of the contract concerned.

The restrictions mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 also apply in favour of our legal representatives and agents should claims be brought directly against them. The provision of the product liability law remains unaffected.

9. Guarantee conditions.

Commercial buyers who purchase goods for the purpose of reselling are excluded from our guarantee.

Guarantees do not restrict statutory rights, in particular those relating to supplementary performance, abatement, cancellation and compensation, and apply from the time the goods are handed over to the customer until the time the guarantee expires. In the case of a guarantee claim, the customer is entitled to return the item to the following address at our cost up until the date on which the guarantee expires. We will decide whether the item is to be repaired or replaced. The guarantee does not apply to wear and tear of products or to items that have been damaged by the customer. We provide the guarantee: Sport-Thieme GmbH, Helmstedter Strasse 40, 38368 Grasleben, Germany.

10. Retention of title.

The goods remain our property until full payment has been received (including VAT and delivery charges). Customers are not permitted to sell on the items until full payment has been made.

If the customer has purchased the items acting in a commercial or independent professional capacity, then the resale of goods is permitted within the normal course of business. However, all receivables from this resale shall be assigned to us now up to the amount of the invoice value of our claim. We hereby accept this assignment. The purchaser shall remain entitled to collect these amounts even after the assignment has been made. Our entitlement to collect these claims ourselves remains unaffected. However, we will not enforce these rights if the purchaser is not in payment arrears.

11. Protective rights.

We retain the intellectual property rights and copyrights on all products, images and other documents that we deliver. Their use by a third party is subject to our approval.

12. Alternative dispute conditions in accordance with Section 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG).

We are not obliged and are fundamentally unwilling to participate in a dispute resolution procedure.

13. Other terms and conditions.

In certain countries we will forward your order to our trading partners, who will immediately send you a quotation with prices and conditions.

Should any of our terms and conditions be rendered invalid, all other terms and conditions remain valid. We hereby reject the customer’s terms and conditions.

The place of jurisdiction is our company business address if the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, a special fund under public law or if the customer is not resident within the European Union. We have the right to bring a claim at the customer’s place of general jurisdiction.
