§ 1 General Scope

1. These business General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) apply to all business relationships between Wahbio GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Supplier”) and its Customer in the version that was in effect upon execution of the contract.
2. Any business terms and conditions of the Customer that deviate from the present document shall not apply.
3. Both consumers and businesses are deemed to be Customers under §1 (1). A consumer is any natural person for whom the purpose of the order is not attributable to a commercial trading, self-employment, or freelance activity. A business, however, is a natural or legal entity, or a legally capable partnership that places orders for purposes of commercial trading, self-employment, or freelance activities.

§ 2 Orders for one-time deliveries and effective date of contract

1. The presentation of the products in the internet shop does not constitute a binding offer on the part of the Supplier resulting in the establishment of a sales contract. The Customer is thereby merely requested to make an offer by placing an order. The Customer may view previous orders in his/her user account.
2. When one or more products are selected, they are placed in the virtual shopping basket. All of the selected products may be viewed in the shopping basket. The number of products being ordered may also be changed there; and a product that has been included in the order may be removed. When you click the “Checkout” button, you will be asked to enter the information needed for delivery and to select a payment method. Before the order is concluded, you will see a summary of all the information that is relevant to the order. When you press the “Buy Now” button, the ordering process will be ended and the order will be sent.
3. By submitting an order in the internet shop the Customer is making a binding offer with the aim of concluding a sales contract for the merchandise in the shopping basket. By submitting an order the Customer also affirms that solely these General Terms and Conditions govern the legal relationship with the Supplier.
4. The Supplier shall confirm receipt of the Customer's order by sending a confirmation email. However, this order confirmation does not yet constitute acceptance of the contract offer by the Supplier. It merely serves to notify the Customer that the order has been received by the Supplier. Notification that the contract offer has been accepted shall be provided within two days by shipping the merchandise or by giving express notice of acceptance.
5. In contrast to §2 (4), when the purchase is made by prepayment, the order confirmation simultaneously constitutes the acceptance of the contract offer.

§ 3 Prices

1. The prices listed for the products at the time and order is placed apply to orders. All of the stated prices include the German statutory value-added tax but do not include shipping costs. Additional costs shall be stated separately in the invoice.

§ 4 Terms of delivery

1. For deliveries to destinations inside and outside of Germany, shipping costs per the calculated costs on our website shall be billed. For merchandise values greater than €250 inside Germany and €250 for destinations outside of Germany, shipping will be free of charge.
2. The Supplier may make partial shipments and perform partial services. The Supplier shall bear the resultant costs.
3. Delivery within in and outside of Germany shall be via DHL. Delivery usually takes 2-3 Days inside Germany and 4-5 working days for all other European countries.
4. If a buyer does not accept the merchandise, the Supplier may sell the merchandise to a third party after a period of 2 weeks and may hold the original buyer responsible for any resultant losses that may result.
5. If the merchandise cannot be delivered as a result of force majeure or product discontinuation, or if the Supplier cannot procure the products that were ordered at reasonable terms and conditions, and if such circumstances do not occur until after a contract has taken effect and the Supplier is not accountable for them, the Supplier shall be released from the obligation to deliver the merchandise. If events that make it significantly more difficult or impossible for the Supplier to deliver merchandise - for example: strikes, lockouts, actions by regulatory agencies, etc. - the Supplier shall not be responsible for delays, even in the case of contractually agreed grace periods and dates.
6. If you exercise your right to cancel a purchase, the Supplier shall bear the normal costs of the return shipment.

§ 5 Terms of payment

1. In the case of one-time orders that do not constitute subscriptions, we offer prepayment pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard), bank withdrawal, and PayPal as payment methods. We reserve the right to exclude certain payment methods.
2. In the case of payment via prepayment, the payment is due immediately when the contract takes effect. Please send the total amount to the following banking connection  

Account holder: Wahbio GmbH     
IBAN: DE34 2605 0001 0056 0841 89

§ 6 Retention of title

1. In the case of consumers, we retain ownership of the merchandise being purchased until the invoice amount is fully paid. If you are a business engaged in a commercial or independent professional activity, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, we retain ownership in the purchased merchandise until all outstanding accounts receivable arising from the business relationship with the ordering party are settled. The corresponding security interests may be assigned to third parties.

§ 7 Due dates

1. The payment of the purchase price is due when the contract takes effect

§ 8 Warranties/deficiencies

1. The provisions of law relating to warranties apply.

Important notice: Please consult your physician in the event of known intolerances. This also applies to possible interactions with other products that you are consuming at the same time.

§ 9 Liability disclaimer

1. Must otherwise agree below, the Customer has no right to claim for damages. The above liability disclaimer also applies to legal representatives and agents of the Supplier should the Customer make claims against them.
2. Excluded from the liability disclaimer set forth in number 1 are claims for damages arising from injury to life, limb, health, and damage claims arising from the violation of essential contractual obligations. Essential contractual obligations are those that must be performed in order to achieve the purpose of the contract. For example, the Supplier must provide the merchandise to the Customer free of material defects and defects of title. Also excluded from the liability disclaimer is the liability for damages based on wilful or grossly negligent violation of the duties of the Supplier, its legal representatives, or agents.

§ 10 Prohibition of assignment and pledging

1. Customers are prohibited from assigning or pledging claims or rights of the Supplier without the permission of the Supplier if the Customer cannot demonstrate that it has a legitimate interest in said assignment or pledging.

§ 11 Offsetting and retention rights

1. The Customer only has a right to offset if its claim that is to be offset was found to be res judicata or is undisputed. Furthermore, you only have a right of retention if and insofar as your counter-claim is based on the same contractual relationship.
2. If the Customer is late in making any required payments, all existing amounts payable shall be due immediately.
