General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Scope of Application

(1) All offers, sales contracts, deliveries and services made on the basis of any orders by our customers (each, a „Customer“) through our online shop www.charlemain.com (the „Online Shop“) shall be governed by these general terms and conditions of sale (the „General Terms and Conditions“). Differing terms and conditions of the customer are not recognized by Charlemain unless Charlemain has agreed to them expressly in writing. These business terms and conditions and the complete legal relationship between the contractual partners shall be exclusively subject to the law of the federal republic of Germany excluding the international uniform law, especially the UN Sales Conventions.

(2) For the purposes of these terms and conditions, „consumer“ means any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can not be attributed primarily to their commercial or independent professional activity. „Entrepreneur“ means a natural or legal person or partnership able to conduct a legal transaction in pursuit of its commercial or independent professional activity, whereby a legal partnership is a partnership with the capacity to acquire rights and liabilities.

§ 2 Conclusion of Contract

(1) The following provisions regarding the conclusion of the contract apply to orders via our online shop at https://charlemain.com.

(2) Our product presentations on the Internet are not binding and no binding offer to conclude a contract.

(3) The following rules apply to the receipt of an order in our online shop: The customer makes a binding contract offer by successfully passing through the order procedure provided for in our online shop. The order is made in the following steps:

  1. Selection of the desired product,
  2. adding the products by clicking on the corresponding button (for example, „Add to cart“, „To shopping bag“ or similar),
  3. checking the details in the shopping cart,
  4. calling up the order overview by clicking on the corresponding button (e.g. „Continue to checkout“, „Continue to pay“, „To order overview“ or similar),
  5. input/verification of address and contact details, choice of payment method and confirmation of the terms and conditions,
  6. completion of the order by pressing the button „buy now“. This represents your binding order.
  7. The contract is concluded by us sending you an order confirmation within three working days to the specified e-mail address.

(4) If the contract is concluded, the contract with Charlemain GmbH, Honigmannstr. 9, 52146 Wuerselen, Germany comes about.

(5) Before ordering, the contract data can be printed or electronically saved via the browser’s print function. The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract, in particular the order data and these terms and conditions, takes place by e-mail after the order has been triggered by you, partly automated. We do not save the contract after conclusion of contract.

(6) Input errors can be corrected by means of the usual keyboard, mouse and browser functions (for example »back button« of the browser). You can also correct this by canceling the order process early, closing the browser window and repeating the process.

(7) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You therefore have to ensure that the e-mail address you provide us with is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that no SPAM filters prevent this.

§ 3 Right of Revocation

(1) You have the right to revoke from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.

(2) The period of revocation is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods.

(4) In order to exercise your right of revocation, you must contact us (Charlemain GmbH, Honigmannstr 9, 52146 Wuerselen, Germany, phone: 024054624922, e-mail: info@charlemain.com) by means of a clear statement (e.g. mailed letter, e-mail) about your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached revocation form, which is not required.

(5) To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for you to send the notice of exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we have to immediately – and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the announcement of your revocation of this contract – refund all payments we received from you, including the costs of delivery, except the additional costs that were incurred if you chose a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery type offered by us. For the refund we will use the same method of payment that you used for the original transaction (unless we explicitly agreed something else with you); in no case will we charge any fees for this refund.

We may withhold a refund until we have received the returned goods or until you have shown proof that you have sent back the goods, depending on which occurs first.

You have to immediately (and in any case at the latest within 14 days from the day on which you informed us of the revocation of this contract) send back the goods or deliver them to us. The deadline is met if you send off the goods before the end of the revocation period of 14 days. The immediate return shipping costs have to be borne by you. You are only liable for any potential loss of value of the goods if this loss of value can be attributed to any non-essential handling of the goods for the testing of the quality, properties and functionality by you.
