3. Conclusion of Contract
- The presentation of the goods and services in our online store or in catalogs and flyers does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to order (invitatio ad offerendum).

5. Prices and Terms of Payment
- The invoice is to be paid strictly net, without any deduction, plus the applicable sales tax.
- Offsets as well as the assertion of a right of retention with regard to previous orders are not permitted. Furthermore, the right only exists insofar as counterclaims or the right of retention are undisputed or if counterclaims have been legally established.
- If it subsequently becomes known to the Seller that a Customer, when placing the order, concealed circumstances that were not recognizably unfavorable to the Seller and which do not allow the Seller to exclude his inability to fulfill the contract, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract immediately or to demand payment for services already rendered.
- In the event of non-compliance with the Seller’s terms of payment, the Seller’s entire claim shall become due immediately. In case of default of payment all conditions agreed between the customer and the seller expire and the seller reserves the right after unsuccessful setting of a deadline to make use of his retention of title and to demand the surrender of the delivered goods.
- If the place of delivery is in a country outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred which are to be borne by the customer. Examples of this are the costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions or taxes or import duties. In individual cases, such payments may also be incurred if the place of delivery is in a country of the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
- The customer will be informed about the payment option(s) in the online store.
6. Delivery and Shipping Conditions
- The shipment is made by parcel service. The seller charges the buyer for this, a fee depending on the delivery location, which can be found in the shipping scale under the page “Payment and Shipping”. The seller reserves the right to make partial deliveries.

- Circumstances for which the seller is not responsible, such as force majeure, release the seller from compliance with the promised delivery time, or entitle him to withdraw from the contract.
7. Terms of Payment
We reserve the right to offer you only certain payment methods due to our internal credit guidelines for the requested delivery. An individually evaluated credit and address check is performed for each order and depends on many different factors, e.g. your order and return behavior, the amount of your order, a check of the delivery address and your payment behavior.
8. Granting of Rights of Use for Digitial Content
- The seller grants the customer the non-exclusive, local and temporally unlimited right to use the content provided for business purposes, unless otherwise stated in the DeepL description in the sales documents.

- The granting of rights shall only become effective when the customer has paid the contractually owed remuneration in full. The seller can provisionally permit the use of the contractual content before this point in time. However, this provisional permission does not include a transfer of rights.

The Seller shall be granted a reasonable time and opportunity for subsequent performance. If he is denied this opportunity, he is insofar released from the supplementary performance and further claims for defects.
- If no subsequent performance is effected within the set period, the Buyer shall be entitled to claim damages instead of performance and/or rescission in case of substantial defects and also to claim reduction of the purchase price instead of rescission in case of insignificant defects.

However, the Buyer may only claim damages instead of performance due to a material defect if the Seller is responsible for the material defect as a result of gross negligence or intent, unless the Seller’s breach of duty is a cardinal obligation under the contract. This limitation of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, body or health as a result of the defectiveness of the delivered product or in all other cases in which the Seller’s liability for damages is mandatory.
- Subsequent performance and other claims for defects shall not extend to natural wear and tear or damage occurring after the passing of risk as a result of incorrect or negligent handling, excessive strain, unsuitable operating materials or as a result of special external influences not assumed under the contract.
