Terms and Conditions
General Terms and Conditions for the Online Shop operated by DKSH Luxury & Lifestyle Europe GmbH
- 1. Scope
(1) These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") apply to all contracts concluded between DKSH Luxury & Lifestyle Europe GmbH, Stuttgarter Straße 8, 75179 Pforzheim, (hereinafter referred to as "Seller", "we" or "us") and the users of the Online Shop (hereinafter referred to as "Customer" or "you") via the Online Shop, which is accessible at www.mauricelacroix.com (hereinafter referred to as "Online Shop").
(2) Our offers are addressed equally to consumers and entrepreneurs, but only to end users. We shall reject orders for quantities in excess of typical household quantities. A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly neither be attributed to their commercial nor their self-employed professional activity (§ 13 German Civil Code (BGB)). An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction (§ 14 BGB).
(3) All agreements concluded between you and us in connection with the contract are based in particular on these terms and conditions as well as the product descriptions, the order confirmation and our declaration of acceptance.
(4) The version of the GTC that is valid at the time of conclusion of the contract shall be decisive.
(5) We do not accept any of the Customer's deviating terms and conditions. This shall also apply if we do not expressly object to their inclusion.
- 2. Conclusion of contract, contract language
(1) The presentation and advertising of the products in our Online Shop does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a sales contract.
(2) You may initially place our products in the virtual shopping basket without obligation and, before sending us a binding order, correct your entries at any time by means of the correction aids provided for this purpose within the order process.
(3) The submission of a binding order is possible after input of the necessary personal data. If you are already a registered customer, you can log in with your user data to place an order. As a new customer, you have the option of creating a user account or placing an order as a guest.
(4) When you submit an order via the Online Shop by clicking on the "BUY NOW" button, you are placing a legally binding order which constitutes an offer to conclude a purchase contract.
(5) A contract is only concluded if we accept your order by means of a declaration of acceptance or by sending you the respective product.
(6) We will immediately confirm receipt of the order you have placed via our Online Shop by sending you an e-mail. However, this e-mail does not yet constitute a binding acceptance of the order, unless it also declares our acceptance in addition to confirming receipt of the order.
(7) If you choose the payment method Klarna Sofortüberweisung, direct debit, credit card or PayPal, we shall declare our anticipated acceptance of your contract offer, which is implied by the fact that we offer the respective payment option, at the end of the ordering process. Should the delivery of the goods ordered by you not be possible through no fault of our own, we reserve the right to withdraw from the contract concluded with you. In particular, delivery will not be possible if we are not supplied accordingly by our suppliers or if the availability of a product explicitly refers to our stock, which is already sold out at the time of conclusion of the contract. We shall inform you immediately about our intention to exercise our right of withdrawal and immediately refund any consideration already received.
(8) No later than upon delivery of the products, the contract text (consisting of the order, GTC and order confirmation) shall be sent to the Customer by us on a permanent data medium (e-mail or post) ("contract confirmation"). The text of the contract shall be stored in compliance with data protection regulations.
(9) The contract shall be concluded in the German language.
