hereinafter referred to as "Seller", and the customers.

2. A customer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions can be either a consumer or an entrepreneur.
3. A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor their independent professional activity.
4. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding the contract.

Germany

3. Offer and Conclusion of Contract

1. The presentation of products in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer. It serves as an invitation to the customer to submit a binding order.
2. The customer can initially place desired products in the shopping cart without obligation. Before submitting the order, the customer can check and correct their entries at any time.
3. By clicking the final order button, the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the products contained in the shopping cart.
4. Upon receipt of the order, the customer receives an automatically sent order confirmation by email. This order confirmation generally only documents the receipt of the order and does not yet constitute acceptance of the offer, unless acceptance is expressly declared therein.
5. The Seller may accept the customer's offer, in particular by

a) sending the customer an explicit order or shipping confirmation,

b) shipping the ordered goods to the customer,

c) requesting payment from the customer, or

d) having the payment process carried out by the selected payment service provider.

The decisive factor is the time at which one of these actions occurs first.

6. If an order cannot be accepted, the customer will be informed thereof. Payments already made will be refunded immediately.

4. Contract Language and Storage of the Contract Text

1. The language available for concluding the contract is German.
2. The order data and these General Terms and Conditions will be provided to the customer after the order by email or on another durable data carrier.
3. The customer can access, save, and print the General Terms and Conditions before placing their order via the online shop.
4. If a customer account is offered and set up by the customer, the customer can view their orders within their customer account.

5. Products and Product Presentation

1. The essential characteristics of the products result from the respective product description in the online shop.
2. Product images are for illustration purposes. Minor deviations in color, surface, material effect, or representation may occur, particularly due to different screen settings or production-related properties, provided that the deviations are reasonable for the customer and do not impair the agreed quality of the product.
3. Information about dimensions, weight, and technical properties are generally to be understood as product specifications. The customer's legal rights in case of deviations from an agreed quality remain unaffected.

6. Prices and Shipping Costs

1. All prices stated in the online shop are total prices in Euro and include the statutory value-added tax.
2. In addition to the product price, shipping costs may apply. The amount of the shipping costs will be displayed to the customer on the product page, in the shopping cart, or at the latest before submitting the binding order during checkout.
3. For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional customs duties, taxes, or fees may arise. These are not levied by the seller but by the competent customs or tax authorities and are to be borne by the customer.

7. Payment Terms

1. The payment methods available in the online shop are displayed to the customer at the latest during checkout.
2. Unless otherwise specified for the respective payment method, the purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract.
3. When using a payment service provider, the contractual and data protection terms and conditions of the respective payment service provider may also apply.
4. The seller reserves the right to make individual payment methods dependent on a successful credit, security, or fraud check, insofar as this is legally permissible.
5. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the payment information provided by them is complete and correct.

8. Delivery and Availability of Goods

1. Delivery will be made to the delivery address specified by the customer during the ordering process.
2. The respective applicable delivery times are indicated on the product page or in the checkout.
3. If several products are ordered, the seller may deliver them in separate shipments, provided this is reasonable for the customer. The customer will not incur additional shipping costs unless expressly agreed upon beforehand.
4. Should an ordered product exceptionally not be available, the customer will be informed immediately. Payments already made for the unavailable product will be refunded immediately.
5. If the customer is an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the customer upon delivery to the company commissioned with the transport.
6. If the customer is a consumer, the statutory provisions apply to the transfer of risk.

9. Retention of Title

The delivered goods remain the property of the seller until full payment of the purchase price.

10. Right of Withdrawal for Consumers

1. Consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days.
2. The details can be found in the separate withdrawal instructions and the sample withdrawal form, which are provided in the online shop.
3. Entrepreneurs do not have a statutory right of withdrawal.

11. Opening, Inspecting, and Using the Goods

1. Merely opening the packaging does not automatically lead to the loss of the statutory right of withdrawal for consumers.
2. The consumer may inspect the goods to an extent necessary to ascertain their nature, characteristics, and functioning.
3. The consumer only has to compensate for a loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to handling of the goods that was not necessary for checking the nature, characteristics, and functioning, and the consumer was properly informed about their right of withdrawal.
4. Signs of wear, scratches, damage, deformation, soiling, or other impairments resulting from use beyond the necessary inspection may lead to an appropriate reduction of the refund amount. In the event of significant damage or intensive use, the loss of value may in individual cases reach a substantial part of the value of the goods.
5. Returning the goods in their original packaging is not absolutely necessary for the effective exercise of the statutory right of withdrawal. However, the customer is asked to use the original packaging if possible to avoid transport damage.
6. Missing or damaged original packaging can only be taken into account when calculating a loss in value if the packaging exceptionally constitutes an independent value-forming component of the product.
7. For entrepreneurs, voluntary returns may be made conditional on the goods being returned unused, undamaged, and complete in their original packaging. Entrepreneurs are only entitled to a voluntary return if this has been expressly agreed with the seller.

12. Liability for Material Defects and Warranty

1. The statutory rights for material and legal defects apply.
2. The customer is requested to check delivered goods for obvious transport damage immediately upon receipt and to report such damage to the seller and the transport company as soon as possible.
3. Failure to make such a report has no impact on the consumer's statutory warranty rights.
4. Damage caused exclusively by improper, inappropriate, or non-compliant use with product or safety instructions does not constitute a material defect.
5. The statutory claims due to a defect already existing at the time of delivery remain unaffected.

13. Intended Use

1. The aluminum squeegee is a manual tool for processing and applying suitable films to designated surfaces.
2. The product may only be used in accordance with its intended use and in observance of the product, application, and safety instructions.
3. Before each use, the product must be checked for visible damage, deformations, or sharp or damaged edges.
4. A damaged product may not be used further.
5. The customer is responsible for checking before application whether the tool and the film used are suitable for the respective surface.

14. Liability

1. The seller is liable without limitation

a) for intent and gross negligence,

b) for culpable injury to life, limb, or health,

c) according to the provisions of the Product Liability Act,

d) for the assumption of an express guarantee, and

e) insofar as liability is mandatory by law.

2. In the event of slight negligence in breaching an essential contractual obligation, the seller's liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
3. Essential contractual obligations are those duties whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose observance the customer may regularly rely.
4. In all other respects, liability for damages caused by slight negligence is excluded.
5. The above liability provisions apply accordingly to employees, representatives, and vicarious agents of the seller.

15. Vouchers and Discount Codes

1. Discount codes and promotional vouchers can only be redeemed within the specified promotional period and under the respective communicated conditions.
2. As a rule, only one discount code can be redeemed per order, unless expressly stated otherwise.
3. Subsequent crediting of a discount code to an already completed order is excluded.
4. Cash payment of the voucher or discount value is excluded.
5. If a contract is effectively revoked or reversed, there is no claim to the payment of the discount granted by a discount code.

16. Consumer Dispute Resolution

The seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

17. Applicable Law

1. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
2. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence is not withdrawn.

18. Place of Jurisdiction

If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship is the seller's business domicile.

19. Final Provisions

Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be or become wholly or partially invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. In place of the invalid provision, the statutory provisions shall apply.
