§ 1 Scope of application

For the business relationship between the provider and the customer, the following general terms and conditions apply exclusively in the version valid at the time of the order. Deviating conditions of the customer are not recognized, unless the provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

By clicking on the “Buy now” button, he submits a binding request to purchase the goods in the shopping basket. The customer can change and  view the data at any time before submitting the order.

(2) The provider then sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt with the subject “Thank you for your order” by e-mail, in which the customer’s order is listed again and which the customer can print out using the “Print” function. The customer’s order (1) represents the offer to conclude a contract with the respective contents of the shopping cart. The confirmation of receipt (order confirmation) represents the acceptance of the offer by the provider. The content of the order is summarized in this e-mail.  this e-mail or in a separate e-mail, but at the latest upon delivery of the goods, the contract text (consisting of the order, GTC and order confirmation) is sent to the customer by us on a permanent data carrier (e-mail or paper printout). The text of the contract is stored in compliance with data protection regulations.

(3) The contract is concluded in the languages: German, English or Spanish.

§ 3 Delivery, availability of goods, terms of payment*

(1) Delivery times stated by the supplier are calculated from the time of our order confirmation (§ 2 (2) of these GTC), subject to prior payment of the purchase price.

(2) For deliveries outside Europe, the delivery time stated on the item page/in the shopping cart refers to the time until the shipment arrives in the destination country. The duration of customs clearance is not included in this period.

(3) The delivery time stated on the item page/in the shopping cart begins on the working day after the customer’s payment order to the transferring bank in the case of payment in advance, or on the working day after the day of conclusion of the contract in the case of all other payment methods.

(4) If the product designated by the customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, the supplier shall also inform the customer of this immediately.

(5) The customer can make the payment by prepayment, PayPal, Giropay, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay, invoice (Ratepay) or by credit card payment.

(6) If delivery is made against prepayment by bank transfer, the customer must transfer payment of the purchase price plus any delivery and shipping costs incurred to the provider prior to delivery (Athlete Solutions GmbH, IBAN: DE02 8705 8000 0101 0386 66 , BIC: WELADED1PLX, reason for payment: order no.). Delivery will be made after receipt of the full invoice amount in the provider’s account.

§ 7 Gift vouchers and their redemption

(1) Gift vouchers are vouchers that can be purchased. These can only be redeemed for the purchase of items, not for the purchase of additional gift certificates. If the credit balance of a gift voucher is not sufficient for the order, the difference can be balanced with the offered payment options.

(2) Gift vouchers and credits can only be redeemed before the order process is completed. The credit balance of a gift voucher is neither paid out in cash nor does it bear interest. To redeem gift vouchers in the customer account or to view an existing credit balance, the customer can log into his customer account.

§ 8 Legal right of withdrawal

(1) In the case of a return of goods, the enclosed return slip can be used. A new return slip can be requested at any time in the customer account or via  customer service. The goods should be sent back in the original packaging and preferably as an insured parcel to be reimbursed by the parcel service in case of loss.

For payments by Paypal or credit card, the refund will be made to the associated Paypal or credit card account. If the customer used a gift voucher at the time of purchase, we will credit the corresponding amount to the gift voucher account.

(2) The provider reserves the right to subsequently charge shipping costs of €5.99 if the value of the order after deduction of the return falls below the minimum order value of €50 for free shipping.

§ 10 Warranty for material defects

The provider is liable for material defects in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, in particular §§ 434 ff. BGB. Towards entrepreneurs, the warranty period for items delivered by the provider is 12 months.

§ Section 11 Liability

(1) Claims of the customer for damages are excluded. Excluded from this are claims for damages of the customer from the injury of life, body, health or from the injury of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) as well as the liability for other damages, which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty of the provider, his legal representatives or vicarious agents. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment is necessary to achieve the objective of the contract.

(2) In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the provider shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract if this was caused by simple negligence, unless it concerns claims for damages by the customer arising from injury to life, limb or health.

(3) The restrictions of para. 1 and 2 also apply in favour of the legal representatives and vicarious agents of the provider if claims are made directly against them.

(4) The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.

§ 12 Notes on data processing

(1) The provider collects customer data as part of the processing of contracts. In particular, he shall observe the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act. Without the customer’s consent, the provider will only collect, process or use the customer’s inventory and usage data to the extent that this is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship and for the use and billing of telemedia.

(2) Without the customer’s consent, the provider will not use the customer’s data for the purposes of advertising, market or opinion research.

§13 Final provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to contracts between the provider and the customer, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and private international law.

(2) 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 contractual relationships between the customer and the provider is the registered office of the provider.

(3) The contract shall remain binding in its remaining parts even if individual points are legally invalid. In place of the ineffective points, the statutory provisions, if any, shall apply. Insofar as this would represent an unreasonable hardship for one party to the contract, the contract as a whole shall, however, become invalid.
