    1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) of Table Chemistry UG (haftungsbeschränkt) (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”) apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online shop. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of the customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby contradicted.

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

    1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly neither be attributed to his commercial nor his independent professional activity. 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 seller’s online shop do not constitute 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 shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking on the button concluding the order process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, e-mail or online contact form.

    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), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
    • by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
    • by requesting payment from the customer after placing his order.

    If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the dispatch of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch 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 result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

    2.4If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment will be processed via 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, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/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/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full.

In this case, the seller hereby declares acceptance of the customer’s offer at the time when the customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button concluding the order process.

    2.6 When submitting an offer via the seller’s online order form, the contract text is stored by the seller after the conclusion of the contract and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after sending his order.

An effective technical means for better detection of input errors can be the magnification function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. As part of the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button concluding the ordering process.

    2.8 The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.
