Standard business terms
§1 Basic provisions
(1)The following business terms are applicable to all the contracts, which you conclude
with us as a supplier (Maciag GmbH) via the www.maciag-offroad.com website. Unless otherwise agreed upon,
the inclusion, if necessary, of your own conditions is ruled out.
(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who
concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his
commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person,
legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its
independent professional or commercial activity.
§2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products.
(2) On placing the product in question on our website, we provide you with a binding offer
to conclude a sales agreement subject to the conditions specified in the item description.
(3) The purchase agreement takes place via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the shopping cart using
the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the “Checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping
conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
If you used an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal Express, Amazon-Payments) to receive payments, you will
either be guided to our online shop on the order summary page or forwarded to the web page of the instant
payment provider.
If you are forwarded to the instant payment system, choose and enter your details as appropriate. You will
then be returned to the order summary page in our online shop.
Before the order is sent, you can re-check all the data, change it (which can also be done via the internet
browser’s ‘back’ function) or cancel the purchase transaction.
By clicking the "buy now” button to submit the order, you declare acceptance of the order in a legally
binding way by which the purchase agreement takes place.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the
conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to
ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of
the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not
blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Individually-designed products
(1) You are to use the on-line ordering system to provide us with the respective details,
texts or files that are necessary for the customised designing of the products in question.
(2) You are obligated to ensure that you do not transfer data whose contents violate the
rights of external parties (especially copyrights, rights to names and trademark rights) or break existing
laws. You explicitly free us from any and all claims related to this matter that may be raised by external
parties. This also applies to the costs associated with any legal representation that may become necessary
in this regard.
(3) We do not check the transferred data for textual accuracy. In this respect, we assume
no liability for errors.
(4) Insofar as we create texts, images, graphics and designs for you within the framework
of the customised designing process, the said items are subject to copyright law.
Individual parts or complete contents may not be utilised, reproduced or modified unless we have explicitly
authorised such a course of action.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, we assign to you a temporally unrestricted right to use the
copyright-protected items that have been created for you. You are explicitly prohibited from making the
protected items or parts thereof privately or commercially available to external parties in any manner
whatsoever.
The transfer of the right of use is subject to the suspensive condition of full payment of the agreed-upon
purchase price.
§ 4 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims
arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
§ 5 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) Despite the contents of the corresponding legal regulation, the warranty period for
second-hand items amounts to a period of one year after delivery of the goods in question. The one-year
warranty period does not apply in situations involving culpably caused damages that can be attributed to the
supplier and which are associated with loss of life, injuries or health-related damages. Furthermore, it
does not apply in situations involving damages suffered as a result of gross negligence or malicious intent,
or in situations involving deceit on the part of the supplier or contribution claims as per §§ 478 and 479
of the BGB (German Civil Code).
§ 6 Liability
(1) We also provide unlimited liability for damage caused due to the violation of life,
limb or health. Furthermore, we provide liability without limitation in all cases of intent and gross
negligence, if a defect is fraudulently concealed, in case of assumption of guarantee for the procurement of
the object of purchase and in all other legally regulated cases.
(2) The liability of defects within the scope of the implied warranty complies with the
corresponding regulation in our customer information (Part II) and General Terms and Conditions (Part I).
(3) If the situation in question relates to important contractual obligations and involves
minor negligence, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damages that are typical for the contract. The
term ‘important contractual obligations’ refers to important obligations that follow from the nature of the
contract and whose violation would jeopardise the fulfilment of the purpose of the contract. It also covers
obligations that the contents of the contract impose on us in order to facilitate the fulfilment of the
purpose of the contract and whose fulfilment makes it possible for the contract to be executed in an orderly
manner, and compliance with which may regularly be taken for granted by you.
(4) When it comes to the violation of inessential contractual obligations, no
liability shall be assumed if the situation in question involves violations of obligations associated with
light negligence.
(5) The current state of the respective technology makes it impossible to guarantee
that data transmission operations that use the internet will take place in an error-free manner
characterised by permanent availability. In this respect, we cannot vouch for the constant and uninterrupted
availability of the website and the service offered on the website.
§ 7 Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer’ is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation:
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day on which you or a third party nominated by you,
which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products.
In order to exercise your revocation right, you must inform us (Maciag GmbH, Rohrteichstr. 16-20, 04347 Leipzig,
GERMANY, Telephone number: +49 (0) 341 492 495 0, E-Mail address: [email protected]) of your
decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent via post, fax or
email). You can use the enclosed specimen
revocation form for this, which however is not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the
exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you,
including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you
selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and
at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation
of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the
original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged
any fees owing to this repayment. We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until
you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is
earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us or to our logistics center (Maciag GmbH, Glashüttenstr. 1,
01623 Lommatzsch, GERMANY) immediately and, in any case, at the latest within fourteen days with effect from
the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send
the products before the expiry of the fourteen-day deadline.
We bear the costs for returning the products. For returns from outside Germany, Austria or Switzerland
please note that a 9EUR (Great Britain: 9£) administration fee is applied on returns of unwanted products.
The return costs for bulky goods are 30€.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any
handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the
products.
The revocation right is not available for contracts
- for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
- for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
- for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
- for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts.
You can download the specimen revocation form here.
Voluntary right of return up to 100 days after receipt of goods
In addition to the statutory right of withdrawal, we also grant you a voluntary right of
return of a total of 100 days from receipt of goods. Unless otherwise regulated below, the provisions stated
in the statutory right of revocation shall apply to the exercise of this right.
Deviating from the legal right of revocation, the start of the period of the voluntary right of return
depends exclusively on the receipt of the goods by the recipient. Food (e.g. sports bars) and gift vouchers
(vouchers that can be purchased from us) are also excluded from the voluntary right of return.
Your statutory rights, in particular your statutory right of revocation and your warranty right, remain
completely unaffected by the above provisions.
§ 8 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers
if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law
of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt
principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an
institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the
place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The
same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in
Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is
not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the
court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods are explicitly inapplicable.
