General Terms and Conditions of Buddy&Selly GmbH

General Terms and Conditions for Buyers

1. General

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions apply in the version valid at the time of the order for orders of goods offered on www.buddyandselly.com (hereinafter “online shop”). The contractual partner (hereinafter “seller” or “we”) is: Reverse-Retail GmbH, Schnackenburgallee 41 a, 22525 Hamburg; VAT identification number DE280755885, Managing Director: Harald Sipple; Company headquarters: Hamburg; Hamburg District Court, registration number: HRB 121682.

1.2 Differing general terms and conditions of the customer will not be recognized unless the seller expressly agrees to their validity in writing (§ 126 BGB).

1.3 The seller sells its goods exclusively to consumers. A consumer within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) is any natural person who places an order with the seller, the purpose of which cannot predominantly be attributed to either their commercial or independent professional activity. With his order, the customer confirms that he is a consumer and is not purchasing the goods for the purpose of resale. On the other hand, an entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding the contract, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

1.4 If the customer purchases goods in breach of contract as an entrepreneur within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the sale of the goods in the case of used items - in deviation from Section 9.1 - takes place under the exclusion of the warranty, and in the case of newly manufactured items under the limitation of the limitation period for warranty claims in accordance with Section 9 one year from delivery. These limitations do not apply in the cases mentioned in Section 10 or if a longer limitation period is mandatory by law. Section 10 applies accordingly to the limitation of this exclusion of liability. If goods are purchased by an entrepreneur, the seller is entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract.

1.5 The seller's general terms and conditions can be viewed by the customer at any time at https://www.buddyandselly.com/de-en/gtc.

1.6 The contract language is German.

2. Order history / conclusion of contract

2.1 The customer can select products from the seller's range, in particular second-hand designer fashion, and collect them in a so-called shopping cart using the ""Add to shopping cart"" button. Using the “Buy now” button, he submits a binding request to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. Before submitting the order, the customer can change and view the data at any time. However, the application can only be submitted and transmitted if the customer has accepted these contractual conditions by clicking on the “Accept Terms and Conditions” button and thereby included them in their application.

2.2 The seller then sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by email, in which the customer's order is listed again and which the customer can print out using the ""Print"" function. The automatic confirmation of receipt merely documents that the customer's order has been received by the seller and does not constitute acceptance of the application. The contract is only concluded when the seller submits the declaration of acceptance, which is sent with a separate email (order confirmation). In this email or in a separate email, but no later than upon delivery of the goods, the contract text (consisting of the order, general terms and conditions and order confirmation) will be sent to the customer by us on a durable medium (email or paper printout) (contract confirmation ). The contract text is saved by the seller while maintaining data protection.

3. Prices / payment terms

3.1 The prices stated in the online shop include the applicable statutory sales tax and plus the respective shipping costs stated in the order form. The amount of shipping costs depends on the location to which the goods are to be shipped and the type of shipping desired by the customer.

3.2 The shipping costs are to be borne by the customer unless the customer exercises his right of withdrawal. In the event of a cancellation, the customer must bear the direct costs of the return.

3.3 The purchase price can be paid either via PayPal, credit card payment, purchase on account with the payment service providers Zinia and Klarna, installment payment, instant transfer and Amazon Pay. The customer will not be charged any additional fees for the use of the above payment methods.

3.4 Payment of the purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. If the due date for payment is determined according to the calendar, the customer is already in default by missing the deadline. In this case, he has to pay the seller default interest for the year in the amount of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate. The customer's obligation to pay default interest does not exclude the assertion of further damages caused by the delay by the seller.

3.5 Further details about shipping costs and payment methods can be viewed here.

4. Delivery / availability of goods

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the goods will be delivered to the address specified by the customer in the purchase offer. Further details about delivery and service can be viewed at https://www.buddyandselly.com/de-de/service/versand-payment.

4.2 Delivery times specified by us are calculated from the time of our order confirmation, assuming prior payment of the purchase price. If no or no different delivery time is specified for the respective goods in our online shop, it is usually up to three working days within Germany.

4.3 If no copies of the product selected are available at the time of the customer's order, the seller will immediately inform the customer of this in the order confirmation. If the product is permanently unavailable, the seller will not issue a declaration of acceptance. In this case, a contract is not concluded.

4.4 If the product specified by the customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, the seller will also immediately inform the customer of this in the order confirmation.

4.5 The following delivery restrictions apply: The seller only delivers to customers who have their habitual residence (billing address) in one of the following countries and can provide a delivery address in the same country: EU member states.

5. Offsetting / right of retention

5.1 The customer cannot set off counterclaims unless the counterclaims have been legally established or are undisputed. The customer is also entitled to set off against our claims if he asserts complaints about defects or counterclaims from the same purchase contract. The customer can only exercise a right of retention if his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.

5.2 The customer can still declare offsetting of the offsetting claims mentioned under section 5.1, provided that these claims are time-barred, even if the customer's claim was not yet time-barred at the time when the customer first made a claim against the claim the seller could set off (cf. § 215 BGB). This also applies to asserting a right of retention.

6. Retention of title

The goods remain the property of the seller until the purchase price has been paid in full.

7. Statutory right of withdrawal

7.1 When concluding a distance selling transaction, the customer generally has a statutory right of withdrawal, about which the seller informs in accordance with the legal model under Section 7.2. A sample cancellation form can be found in Section 7.3.

(see data protection declaration)

11. Void clauses

If one or more provisions of these purchasing conditions are or become ineffective, this will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions. The legal regulations apply in their place.
