For the business relationship between the provider and the customer, the following General Terms and Conditions of Business apply exclusively in the version valid at the time of the order. Deviating conditions of the customer are not recognized, unless the provider agrees to their validity expressly in writing.

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

(1) The customer can select products from the provider's assortment and collect them in a so-called shopping cart by clicking the button "add to cart". By clicking on the button "Buy now", he submits a binding application to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. Before sending the order, the customer can change and view the data at any time.

(2) The Supplier will then send the Customer an automatic confirmation of receipt with the subject "Confirmation of your order at CARAT Aqua Plus stands for innovative whirling technology" by e-mail, in which the Customer's order is listed again and which the Customer can print out by using the "Print" function. The Customer's order (1) represents the offer to conclude a contract with the respective contents of the shopping cart. The confirmation of receipt (order confirmation) represents the acceptance of the offer by the provider. The content of the order is summarized in this confirmation. In this e-mail or in a separate e-mail, but no later than upon delivery of the goods, the text of the contract (consisting of order, terms and conditions and order confirmation) is sent to the customer by us on a permanent data carrier (e-mail or paper printout).

In case of a delivery delay of more than two weeks, the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the provider is also entitled to withdraw from the contract. In doing so, he will immediately refund any payments already made by the customer.

(3) The customer can make the payment by direct bank transfer, PayPal.

(4) Payment of the purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. If the due date of payment is determined by the calendar, the customer is already in default by missing the deadline.

§ 5 Prices and shipping costs

(1) All prices, which are indicated on the website of the provider, are inclusive of the respectively valid legal sales tax.

Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment is necessary to achieve the objective of the contract.

(2) In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, the Provider shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract if this was caused by simple negligence, unless the Customer's claims for damages are based on injury to life, body or health.

In doing so, he particularly observes the regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act. Without the customer's consent, the provider will only collect, process or use the customer's inventory and usage data to the extent that this is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship and for the use and billing of telemedia.

(2) Without the consent of the customer, the provider will not use the customer's data for advertising, market or opinion research purposes.
