General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Scope of Applicability, Contract Language, Formalities
(1) The General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") reproduced here apply both to private customers (consumers) and to business customers (entrepreneurs) (hereinafter jointly referred to as "customers"). For the purposes of these GTC, a "consumer" is any natural person who concludes the contract for a purpose which cannot be attributed to either his commercial or his self-employed professional activity (§ 13 BGB) and an "entrepreneur" is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding a legal transaction (§ 14 sub-sec. 1 BGB). Insofar as deviations arise from the consumer or entrepreneur status with regard to the applicability of individual provisions of these GTC, there will be a specific differentiation by means of terminology within the respective clause. (2) All offers, deliveries and other services based on and in connection with orders placed by the customer are subject to these GTC. Unless otherwise agreed, these GTC shall apply in the version valid at the time of the order. In relation to entrepreneurs, these GTC shall also apply as a framework agreement in the version last notified to the entrepreneur in text form for similar future contracts without us having to refer to them again in each individual case also. Our GTC shall apply exclusively. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of the customer shall only become part of the contract if and to the extent that we have expressly agreed to their validity. This requirement of consent shall apply in any case, even if we proceed with the delivery to the customer in full knowledge of the customer's general terms and conditions without reservation. (3) These GTC apply in particular to contracts for the sale and/or delivery of movable items (hereinafter referred to as "goods"), irrespective of whether we manufacture the goods ourselves or purchase them from suppliers (§§ 433, 651 BGB). (4) Individual agreements with the customer in individual cases (including side agreements, amendments and modifications) shall always have priority over these GTC. Subject to the evidence to the contrary, a contract or our confirmation in text form shall prevail regarding the content of such agreements. (5) The language available for the conclusion of the contract is exclusively German. Translations of these GTC into other languages only serve informational purposes. In the event of any conflicts between the different language versions, the German text shall take precedence. (6) Legally relevant declarations and notifications of the customer in relation to the contract (e.g. setting of deadlines, notice of defects, withdrawal, reduction of purchase price or revocation) require text form (e.g. letter, e-mail, fax). This also includes a modification or revocation of this text form clause, unless the customer proves that the parties have intentionally waived this clause verbally in awareness of the text form requirement. Statutory formal requirements and further proof, in particular in case of doubt regarding the legitimacy of the declarant, remain unaffected. (7) The currently valid version of these GTC can be downloaded from the website www.lacadde.com and printed out.
§ 2 Applicable Law, Mandatory Consumer Protection Regulations (1) As an entrepreneur the application of the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is agreed. (2) As a consumer the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall also apply excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), if (a) your general residence is in Germany, or (b) your general residence is situated in a state not being member of the European Union. (3) In the event that as a consumer your residence is in a member state of the European Union, German law applies provided this stipulation is not in conflict with mandatory rules of the state in which your residence is situated. Such rules shall remain unaffected.

§ 4 Conclusion of Contract (1) The presentation of the goods in our online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but merely an invitation to place an order (invitatio ad offerendum). (2) By clicking the “Place Order“-button in the last step of the order process, you submit a binding offer for the purchase of the goods displayed in the order overview. Immediately after submitting the order, you will receive an order confirmation, which however does not yet constitute the acceptance of your contract offer.

(3) In our online shop, you can select products for purchase by putting them into a virtual shopping cart by clicking on the respective button (“Add to Cart”). To finish the order, you can go to the shopping cart, from where you will be guided through the remaining part of the order process. Following the product selection in the shopping cart and the specification of all required order and address data in the subsequent step, a page will open, which summarizes the essential product specifications including the costs that will be incurred. Up to this stage, you can correct your entries or decide not to enter the contract. Only by subsequently clicking the button “Place Order“, you will place a binding order pursuant to the previous subsection (2).
§ 5 Information on Adjustments of Orders To place an order, you start by placing the desired goods in the shopping cart. There you may modify at any time the desired quantity or delete goods completely.

If you wish to cancel the order process completely, you can simply close your browser window. Otherwise, by clicking the confirmation button “Place Order“, your declaration becomes binding in the meaning of § 4 subs. 2 of these GTC.

§ 9 Retention of Title (1) The goods shall remain our property until full payment is made. If you fall behind with your payment more than 10 days after due date, we reserve the right to withdraw from the contract and to reclaim the goods. (2) As an entrepreneur, you are entitled to resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. In this case, however, you hereby assign to us all claims arising from such resale in the amount of the invoice value of our claim, regardless of whether this resale takes place before or after any processing of the goods delivered under retention of title. Irrespective of our authority to collect the claim ourselves, you remain authorized to collect the claim even after the assignment. In this context, we undertake not to collect the claim ourselves as long as and to the extent that you meet your payment obligations, no petition for the opening of insolvency or similar proceedings have been filed against your assets and there is no suspension of payments. If the above-mentioned securities exceed the claims to be secured by more than 10%, we shall be obliged to release the securities at our discretion upon your request.

(2) If we do not deliver the goods or do not deliver them in accordance with the contract, you as an entrepreneur must grant us a grace period of 2 weeks to effect performance. Otherwise, you as an entrepreneur are not entitled to withdraw from the contract. (3) As an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods as well as the risk of delay in the case of shipment sales shall pass to the entrepreneur upon delivery of the goods to the freight forwarder, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment.
