1) Scope of Application

1.1 These Terms and Conditions (GTC) of the company BG Investment GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller”) shall apply to all contracts concluded between a buyer (hereinafter referred to as "Client”) and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services presented in the online shop of the Seller. The inclusion of the Client’s own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated.

These Terms and Conditions shall also apply to the user of the Seller's website

1.2 The Client’s use of the Seller’s website shall be deemed to reflect the Client’s agreement to be bound by these GTC.

1.3 The Seller reserves the right to amend or replace these GTC at any time. The Seller will inform the Client about substantial amendments at least 30 days prior notice. By continuing to access or use the service of the Seller’s online shop after those revisions become effective, the Client agrees to be bound by the revised GTC.

1.4 The Client agrees to electronically access, receive, review, sign, and authenticate certain documents and forms covered by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“E-SIGN Act”), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) adopted by various states, and/or the separate state laws of Illinois, New York, and Washington (as applicable). Your electronic signature will bind the Client to the same extent as if he had signed on paper with an ink signature. He also agrees that such documents and forms may be retained solely in an electronic format and are “transferable records” within the meaning of the UETA.

2) Conclusion of the Contract

2.1 The product descriptions in the Seller’s online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but merely serve the purpose of submitting a binding offer by the Client.

2.2 The Client may submit the offer by the online order form integrated into the Seller's online shop. In doing so, after having placed the selected goods and/or services in the virtual basket and passed through the ordering process, and by clicking the button finalizing the order process, the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the virtual basket.

2.3 The Seller may accept the Client's offer within five days

  • by transferring a written order confirmation or an order conformation in written form (fax or e- mail); insofar receipt of order confirmation by the Client is decisive, or
  • by delivering ordered goods to the Client; insofar receipt of goods by the Client is decisive, or
  • by requesting the Client to pay after he/she placed his/her order.

Provided that several of the aforementioned alternatives apply, the contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives firstly occurs. Should the seller not accept the Client’s offer within the aforementioned period of time, this shall be deemed as rejecting the offer with the effect that the Client is no longer bound by his statement of intent.

2.4 The period for acceptance of the offer shall start on the day after the Client has sent the offer and ends on expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer.

2.5 The contract’s content will be stored by the Seller and will be sent to the Client in writing including these Terms and Conditions and Client Information (for example via e-mail, fax or letter) after the Client has submitted his order. The contract text may not be called up by the Client on the Seller’s website following conclusion of the order process.
