General terms and conditions of business
1. Scope
The following terms and conditions apply to all orders placed via our online shop by consumers and entrepreneurs.
A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed predominantly to their commercial or independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
These General Terms and Conditions also apply to future business relationships with entrepreneurs without us having to refer to them again. If the entrepreneur uses conflicting or supplementary General Terms and Conditions, their validity is hereby contradicted; they will only become part of the contract if we have expressly agreed to this.
2. Contracting parties, conclusion of contract
The purchase contract is concluded with GECCO Service GmbH.
By placing the products in the online shop, we make a binding offer to conclude a contract for these items. You can initially place our products in the shopping cart without obligation and correct your entries at any time before submitting your binding order by using the correction aids provided and explained in the ordering process. The contract is concluded when you accept the offer for the goods in the shopping cart by clicking on the order button. Immediately after submitting the order, you will receive another confirmation by email.
Discount codes cannot be combined with one another.
Reduced goods are excluded from the use of discount codes.
3. Contract language, contract text storage

The payment transaction will be carried out automatically by PayPal immediately afterwards.
6. Right of withdrawal
Consumers have the statutory right to cancel as described in the cancellation policy. Businesses are not granted a voluntary right of cancellation.
7. Retention of title
The goods remain our property until full payment has been made.
The following also applies to entrepreneurs: We retain title to the goods until all claims from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. You may resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business; you assign to us in advance all claims arising from this resale - regardless of whether the reserved goods are combined or mixed with a new item - in the amount of the invoice amount, and we accept this assignment. You remain authorized to collect the claims, but we may also collect claims ourselves if you do not meet your payment obligations.
8. Transport damage
The following applies to consumers:
If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please complain about such errors to the deliverer as soon as possible and contact us immediately. Failure to complain or contact us has no consequences for your legal claims and their enforcement, in particular your warranty rights. However, you will help us to assert our own claims against the freight carrier or transport insurance.
The following applies to entrepreneurs:
The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration passes to you as soon as we have delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. Among merchants, the obligation to inspect and give notice of defects as set out in Section 377 of the German Commercial Code applies. If you fail to give notice as set out there, the goods are deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not apparent during the inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.
9. Warranty and guarantees
The statutory liability for defects applies. Information on any additional guarantees that may apply and their exact conditions can be found on the product and on special information pages in the online shop.
10. Liability
We are always liable without limitation for claims based on damages caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents.
- in case of injury to life, body or health,
- in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty,
- in the case of guarantee promises, if agreed, or
- insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is open.
In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, liability is limited to the amount of damage that was foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded and which must typically be expected to occur. In all other respects, claims for damages are excluded.
11. Online dispute resolution
Online dispute resolution in accordance with Art. 14 Para. 1 ODR-VO: The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which you can find at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ .
12. Final provisions
If you are an entrepreneur, German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
If you are a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between you and us is our place of business.
