A. General Terms and Conditions of Business (B2C)

1. AREA OF APPLICATION

(1) These Terms and Conditions of Business of ETERNA mode GmbH (hereinafter referred to as ETERNA) apply to all contracts entered into by a consumer (hereinafter referred to as Customer) with ETERNA pertaining to goods displayed in its online shop.

(2) ETERNA´S Terms and Conditions of Business apply exclusively. The Customer´s deviating, cont-radictory or supplementary General Terms and Conditions of Business only become part of the contract if ETERNA has expressly consented to their validity. This requirement for consent applies in every case, also and in particular if ETERNA, being aware of the Customer´s General Terms and Con-ditions of Business, makes deliveries to the Customer without reservation.

(3) Consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly can neither be attributed to his/her commercial activity nor to his/her self-employed activity (Article 13 BGB German Civil Code). Entrepreneur is a natural person or a legal entity or a business partnership having a legal capacity, which acts in the course of its commercial or self-employed activity in conclu-ding the legal transaction (Article 14 BGB). 

 

 2. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT

(1) The Customer can select from the range of ETERNA products and collect them in a virtual shopping basket by clicking the IN THE BASKET button. By clicking the BUY NOW button, the Customer places a binding order for the goods contained in the shopping basket. Before sending the order, the Customer can modify and view the data at any time, enabling them to recognise and correct any errors in their entries before placing the order. The order can only be placed and transmitted, however, if the Customer accepts these General Terms and Conditions of Business and adopts them into their order by clicking the button labelled I accept the General Terms and Conditions of Business and Data Protection Regulations.

(2) ETERNA shall confirm receipt of the order immediately by email. This confirmation of receipt of the order still does not represent a binding acceptance of the order and contains the contract text, these General Terms and Conditions of Business, the revocation instructions and the sample revocation form, plus the customer information.


(3) The purchase contract comes into force only through the transmission of a confirmation of order by ETERNA at least in text form (e.g. email). The Customer must ensure that the email address specified by them for the order completion is correct, so that he can receive emails sent by ETERNA to this address. In particular, the Customer must ensure if he uses spam filters that all emails sent by ETERNA or by third parties assigned by ETERNA to complete the order can be delivered.

 

3. GOODS AVAILABILITY

ETERNA makes sure that the indicated quantities correspond to the actual stock. However, in excepti-onal circumstances beyond our control (e.g. goods out of stock), deviations may occur. In these excep-tional cases the following applies:

(1) If the product selected by the Customer is not available at the time of ordering, ETERNA shall inform the Customer of this fact immediately in the confirmation of order. If the product is permanently unavailable, ETERNA shall refrain from declaring acceptance. A contract does not come into force in this case.

(2) If the product designated by the Customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, then ETERNA shall likewise inform the Customer of this fact immediately in the confirmation of order. In the case of a delivery delay exceeding two weeks, the Customer has the right to withdraw from the contract. ETERNA is also entitled in this case to release itself from the contract. ETERNA shall hereby immediately refund any payments already made by the Customer.

5. TERMS OF PAYMENT

(1) Methods of payment

When ordering with a credit card, the Customer must also be the holder of the credit card. When ma-king payment by credit card, the account and credit card data are transmitted via a 128-bit encrypted SSL connection. The data is passed on to the financial institution for the debiting of the amount due. In case of payment by credit card the goods are dispatched after successful debiting of the credit card and in the case of pre-payment after full receipt of the payment.

(a) The delivery address, the house address and the invoice address must be identical and must be located within Germany. The invoice amount becomes due for payment on receipt of the invoice.
(b) (b) In case of payment on invoice, ETERNA checks and evaluates the data supplied by the Customer and, if there is a justified reason, exchanges data with credit reference agencies and if necessary with Creditreform Rosenheim Karl KG, Oberaustrasse 14, 83026 Rosenheim as well as CEG Consumer Reporting GmbH, Hellersbergstr. 11, 41460 Neuss.

(4) PayPal
(a) PayPal is an online payment service, with which the Customer can pay securely, simply and quickly. The PayPal account is free of charge for the Customer.
(b) The Customers bank account or credit card data are held only by PayPal. Therefore they are not sent over the Internet again with each online purchase that makes PayPal payments particularly secure. In addition, the Customer pays very simply with just two clicks, because the Customer makes use of their bank account or credit card data held by PayPal instead of entering them again every time he makes a purchase. Since PayPal payments are received quickly, ETERNA can dispatch the goods without delay. Further information about PayPal can be found at https://www.paypal.com.
