General Terms and Conditions of Business & customer information

I. General Terms and Conditions of Business
1 Basic provisions

(1) The following Terms and Conditions of Business shall apply to contracts which you conclude with us as supplier (Leaf Culture GmbH) via the Metro Internet platform. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms and conditions of your own that you may have used is objected to.

(2) A consumer in the sense of the following provisions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly neither be attributed to his commercial nor his self-employed professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.

(2) If an article is placed by us with Metro, the activation of the offer page with Metro constitutes the non-binding offer to conclude a purchase contract under the conditions contained on the article page (product description).

(3) You can submit a binding purchase offer (order) via the shopping cart system or the 1-Click order function.

In the shopping cart system facilitated for the purchase and subsequent payment for the purchase, the goods intended for purchase are placed in the “shopping cart”.

After clicking the “Checkout” button and entering all the data requested, as well as selecting the payment method and shipping address, all order data is displayed again on the order overview. Before submitting the order, you have the opportunity to check and change all details again or to cancel the purchase using the “back function” of the browser or website if necessarily provided. By clicking on the “buy now” button, you submit a binding offer to us for the purchase of goods that have been placed in the cart erstwhile during check out.

When using the 1-Click order function, you have the possibility to place the order directly from the product detail page or the product offer list. Before submitting your order, you can change the delivery address and – if applicable – the number of selected items or cancel the purchase using the “back function” of your browser or website if necessarily provided.

By clicking on the button “Buy now with 1-Click®” or “Buy with 1-Click®”, you submit a binding purchase offer (order).

(4) After submitting your order, you will receive an automatic confirmation by e-mail from Metro that the offer has been received by Leaf Culture GmbH. The order confirmation does not yet lead to the conclusion of the contract with Leaf Culture GmbH.

(5) The acceptance of the offer (and thus the conclusion of the contract) is effected by e-mail from Metro in which we confirm the dispatch of the goods. If you have not received a shipping confirmation within 2 days you are no longer bound to your order. In this case, any services already rendered will be refunded immediately.

(6) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have deposited with us is correct, that the receipt of e-mails is technically ensured and in particular that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

3 Right of retention – retention of title

(1) You may only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following applies in addition:

a) We reserve title to the goods until all claims arising from the current business relationship have been settled in full. Before transfer of ownership of the goods subject to retention of title, pledging or transfer of ownership by way of security is not permitted.

b) You may resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that accrue to you from the resale; we accept the assignment. You are further authorized to collect the claim. If you do not properly fulfil your payment obligations, however, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) If the goods subject to retention of title are combined and mixed, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request insofar as the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released is at our discretion.

4 Warranty

(1) The statutory rights to liability for defects exist.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible within 14 days. If you fail to do so, this will not affect your statutory warranty claims.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the above warranty regulations shall apply in deviation from the above:

a) Only our own information and the manufacturer’s product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the item, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we shall provide warranty at our discretion either by rectification of the defect or by subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your discretion, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The removal of the defect is considered to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless something else results from the type of item or defect or other circumstances. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transfer of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless the transfer is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply:

– for culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, body or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence;

– insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;

– in the case of statutory rights of recourse which you have against us in connection with rights of defect.

d) The goods are to be handled reasonably CAREFULLY ensure the integrity, goods having a biological ingredient are to be stored in place void of moisture to ensure the usability of the goods.

5 Choice of law

(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer’s habitual residence is not thereby withdrawn (principle of favourability).

(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are expressly not applicable.
