1) SCOPE

1.1These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of Bananas Berlin (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2These GTC shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise expressly stipulated.

1.3For the purposes of these GTC, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity.

2) CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT

2.1The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by the Customer.

2.2The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping basket and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer may also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, e-mail or post.

2.3The Seller may accept the Customer's offer within five days,

  • by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
  • by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
  • by requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed the order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the payment shall be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal terms and conditions of use, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.5When an offer is made via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract shall be stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer's order has been sent. The Seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed by the customer free of charge via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.

2.6Before bindingly placing the order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8Order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) RIGHT OF REVOCATION

3.1Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2More detailed information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller's instructions on withdrawal.

4) PRICES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

4.1Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices which include the statutory value added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.

4.2In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3The payment option(s) will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop.

5) DELIVERY AND SHIPPING CONDITIONS

5.1The delivery of goods shall be made by dispatch to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed.

5.2If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. In the event of an effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the costs of returning the goods.

5.3If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall in principle only pass to the customer or a person authorised to receive the goods when the goods are handed over to the customer. In deviation from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall also pass to the customer in the case of consumers as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment if the customer commissions the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.

5.4The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.

5.5In the event of self-collection, the Seller shall first inform the Customer by e-mail that the goods ordered by the Customer are ready for collection. After receipt of this e-mail, the customer may collect the goods from the seller's registered office by arrangement with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

5.6Vouchers shall be provided to the Customer as follows:

  • by e-mail
  • postal

6) RESERVATION OF OWNERSHIP

6.1With respect to consumers, the Seller retains title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

6.2With respect to entrepreneurs, the Seller retains title to the delivered goods until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.

6.3If the customer acts as a businessman, he shall be entitled to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. The customer shall assign to the seller in advance all claims against third parties arising therefrom in the amount of the respective invoice value (including VAT). This assignment shall apply irrespective of whether the reserved goods have been resold without or after processing. The customer shall remain authorised to collect the claims even after the assignment. The authority of the seller to collect the claims himself remains unaffected. However, the seller shall not collect the claims as long as the customer meets his payment obligations towards the seller, is not in default of payment and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been filed.

7) LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS (WARRANTY)

If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply. The following shall apply in deviation from this:

7.1If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,

  • the seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
  • in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects shall be one year from delivery of the goods;
  • the rights and claims due to defects are generally excluded in the case of used goods;
  • the limitation period shall not recommence if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

7.2If the customer is acting as a consumer, the following applies to used goods with the restriction of the following clause: Claims for defects are excluded if the defect only occurs after the expiry of one year from delivery of the goods. Defects that occur within one year of delivery of the goods can be claimed within the statutory limitation period.

7.3The limitations of liability and shortening of time limits regulated in the above clauses do not apply

  • for items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness,
  • for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses of the customer, as well as
  • in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.

7.4Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse pursuant to § 445b BGB shall remain unaffected.

7.5If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he shall be subject to the commercial duty of inspection and notification of defects pursuant to § 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved.

7.6If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply with this, this shall have no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) LIABILITY

The Seller shall be liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory claims, including claims in tort, for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:

8.1The Seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason whatsoever

  • in the event of intent or gross negligence,
  • in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, limb or health,
  • on the basis of a guarantee promise, unless otherwise regulated in this respect,
  • on the basis of mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.

8.2If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless liability is unlimited pursuant to the preceding clause. Material contractual obligations are obligations which the contract imposes on the Seller according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and compliance with which the customer may regularly rely on.

8.3In all other respects, any liability on the part of the Seller is excluded.

8.4The above liability provisions shall also apply with regard to the Seller's liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

9) REDEMPTION OF CAMPAIGN VOUCHERS

9.1Vouchers issued free of charge by the Seller as part of promotions with a specific period of validity and which cannot be purchased by the Customer (hereinafter "Promotion Vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop and only during the specified period.

9.2Individual products may be excluded from the voucher promotion if a corresponding restriction results from the content of the promotion voucher.

9.3Promotion vouchers can only be redeemed before the order process is completed. Subsequent offsetting is not possible.

9.4Only one promotional voucher can be redeemed per order.

9.5The value of the goods must be at least equal to the amount of the promotional voucher. Any remaining credit will not be refunded by the Seller.

9.6If the value of the promotional voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the Seller may be chosen to settle the difference.

9.7The credit balance of a promotional voucher is neither paid out in cash nor does it earn interest.

9.8The promotional voucher will not be refunded if the customer returns the goods paid for in full or in part with the promotional voucher within the scope of his statutory right of withdrawal.

9.9The promotional voucher is transferable. The Seller may make payment with discharging effect to the respective holder redeeming the promotional voucher in the Seller's online shop. This shall not apply if the Seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the ineligibility, legal incapacity or lack of representative authority of the respective holder.

10) REDEMPTION OF GIFT VOUCHERS

10.1Gift vouchers that can be purchased via the Seller's online shop (hereinafter "Gift Vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop, unless otherwise stated in the Gift Voucher.

10.3Gift vouchers can only be redeemed before the order process is completed. Subsequent offsetting is not possible.

10.4Only one gift voucher can be redeemed per order.

10.5Gift Vouchers may only be used to purchase Goods and may not be used to purchase any other Gift Vouchers.

10.6If the value of the gift voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the Seller may be chosen to settle the difference.

10.7The balance of a Gift Voucher will not be paid out in cash or earn interest.

10.8The Gift Voucher is transferable. The Seller may make payment with discharging effect to the respective holder redeeming the Gift Voucher in the Seller's online shop. This shall not apply if the Seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the ineligibility, legal incapacity or lack of representative authority of the respective holder.

11) APPLICABLE LAW

All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.

12) JURISDICTION

If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the Seller's registered office. If the customer has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller's registered office shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract if the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the customer's professional or commercial activity. In the above cases, however, the Seller shall in any case be entitled to bring an action before the court at the Customer's place of business.

13) ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

13.1The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts involving a consumer.

13.2The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
