1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Dirk Friedrich, trading as "Friedrich Motorsport" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the supply of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in its online store. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These GTC shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise agreed.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity.

1.4 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online store of the seller do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online store. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by e-mail, fax, online contact form or by post.

2.3 The seller may accept the customer's offer within five days,

  • by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer shall be decisive, or
  • by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
  • by requesting payment from the customer after the customer's order has been placed.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for the acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the sending of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.

2.4 If you select a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract shall be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent his order. The Seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online store before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.

2.6 Before bindingly placing the order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can recognize possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the magnification function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.7 The German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 The order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 More information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.

3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a Member State of the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.

4) Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include the statutory value-added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online store.

4.4 If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment shall be due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

4.5 If a payment method offered via the payment service "PayPal" is selected, the payment shall be processed via PayPal, whereby PayPal may also use the services of third party payment service providers for this purpose. If the seller also offers payment methods via PayPal, in which he makes advance payments to the customer (e.g. purchase on account or payment by installments), he assigns his payment claim to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the customer. Before accepting the seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal shall carry out a credit check using the transmitted customer data. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the selected payment method in the event of a negative test result. If the selected payment method is approved, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or in the agreed payment intervals. In this case, he can only pay to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. regarding the goods, delivery time, shipment, returns, complaints, revocation declarations and deliveries or credit notes, even in the case of assignment of claims.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 If the Seller offers to ship the goods, the delivery shall be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address specified by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. In the processing of the transaction, the delivery address specified in the order processing of the seller is decisive.

5.2 Goods delivered by a forwarding agent are delivered "free kerbside", i.e. to the public kerbside nearest to the delivery address, unless otherwise stated in the shipping information in the seller's online store and unless otherwise agreed.

5.3 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This shall not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises its right of revocation. In the event that the customer effectively exercises its right of revocation, the provision made in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the costs of returning the goods.

5.4 If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall in principle pass to the customer only upon delivery of the goods to the customer or a person authorized to receive the goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer, even in the case of consumers, as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named such person or institution to the customer.

5.5 The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in case of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.

5.6 If the Seller offers the goods for collection, the Customer may collect the ordered goods within the business hours indicated by the Seller at the address indicated by the Seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

5.7 Vouchers are provided to the customer as follows:

- by e-mail

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payment, he retains ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:

7.1 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,

  • the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
  • the limitation period for defects in new goods is one year from delivery of the goods;
  • the rights and claims due to defects are excluded for used goods;
  • the limitation period shall not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

7.2 The above-mentioned limitations of liability and shortening of deadlines shall not apply to

  • for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses of the customer,
  • in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
  • for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness,
  • for any existing obligation of the seller to provide updates for digital products, in the case of contracts for the supply of goods with digital elements.

7.3 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any statutory right of recourse shall remain unaffected.

7.4 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he shall be subject to the commercial duty of inspection and notification of defects pursuant to § 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved.

7.5 If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply with this, this has no effect on his legal or contractual claims for defects.

8) Haftung

Der Verkäufer haftet dem Kunden aus allen vertraglichen, vertragsähnlichen und gesetzlichen, auch deliktischen Ansprüchen auf Schadens- und Aufwendungsersatz wie folgt:

8.1 Der Verkäufer haftet aus jedem Rechtsgrund uneingeschränkt

  • bei Vorsatz oder grober Fahrlässigkeit,
  • bei vorsätzlicher oder fahrlässiger Verletzung des Lebens, des Körpers oder der Gesundheit,
  • aufgrund eines Garantieversprechens, soweit diesbezüglich nichts anderes geregelt ist,
  • aufgrund zwingender Haftung wie etwa nach dem Produkthaftungsgesetz.

8.2 Verletzt der Verkäufer fahrlässig eine wesentliche Vertragspflicht, ist die Haftung auf den vertragstypischen, vorhersehbaren Schaden begrenzt, sofern nicht gemäß vorstehender Ziffer unbeschränkt gehaftet wird. Wesentliche Vertragspflichten sind Pflichten, die der Vertrag dem Verkäufer nach seinem Inhalt zur Erreichung des Vertragszwecks auferlegt, deren Erfüllung die ordnungsgemäße Durchführung des Vertrags überhaupt erst ermöglicht und auf deren Einhaltung der Kunde regelmäßig vertrauen darf.

8.3 Im Übrigen ist eine Haftung des Verkäufers ausgeschlossen.

8.4 Vorstehende Haftungsregelungen gelten auch im Hinblick auf die Haftung des Verkäufers für seine Erfüllungsgehilfen und gesetzlichen Vertreter.

In this regard, the customer shall also assume the necessary costs of legal defense, including all court and attorney's fees in the statutory amount. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the customer is obligated to provide the seller immediately, truthfully and completely with all information necessary for the examination of the claims and a defense.

9.3 The Seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the Customer for this purpose violates legal or official prohibitions or offends common decency.
