General terms and conditions and customer information

1. General Terms and Conditions

• 1 Basic provisions

(1) The following business terms are applicable to all the contracts, which you conclude with us as a supplier (Pro3 GmbH) via the growshoppers.eu website. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions is hereby rejected.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following provisions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside his trade, business or profession. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who or which, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in exercise of his or its independent professional or commercial activity.

• 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.

(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we make you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping basket system under the conditions specified in the item description.

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping basket system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping basket". You can call up the "shopping basket" via the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
 After accessing the "Checkout" page and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will be displayed as an order overview.

If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal / PayPal Express, Amazon Payments, Sofortüberweisung) as a payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or redirected to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
 If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, please make the appropriate selection or enter your data there. Finally, the order data will be displayed as an order overview on the website of the provider of the instant payment system or after you have been redirected back to our online shop.

Before sending the order, you have the option of checking the details in the order overview again, changing them (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the order.
 By sending the order via the corresponding button ("buy" or similar designation), you declare legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.

(4) Your enquiries regarding the preparation of an offer are non-binding for you. We will submit a binding offer to you in text form (e.g. by e-mail), which you can accept within 5 days (unless another period is specified in the respective offer).

(5) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partially automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have provided to us is correct, that the receipt of e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

• 3 Right of retention, retention of title

(1) You may only exercise a right of retention insofar as it concerns claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods shall remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following also applies:

1. a) We reserve title to the goods until all claims arising from the current business relationship have been settled in full. Pledging or transfer by way of security is not permitted before the transfer of ownership of the reserved goods.
2. b) You may resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that accrue to you from the resale; we accept the assignment. You are further authorised to collect the claim. However, if you do not properly fulfil your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
3. c) If the goods subject to retention of title are combined and mixed, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title to the other processed items at the time of processing.
4. d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released shall be incumbent on us.

• 4 Warranty

(1) The statutory liability for defects shall apply.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to check the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. If you fail to do so, this shall have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:

1. a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the item, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
2. b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, fulfil the warranty by rectification or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your discretion, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the item or defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a location other than the place of fulfilment, provided that the transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.
3. c) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply:

- for culpably caused damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness;
- for statutory recourse claims that you have against us in connection with warranty rights.

• 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, place of jurisdiction

(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence is not thereby withdrawn (principle of favourability).

(2) The place of fulfilment for all services arising from the business relationships existing with us and the place of jurisdiction is our registered office if you are not a consumer but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if your place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is filed. This does not affect the right to appeal to the court at another legal place of jurisdiction.

(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
