- By ordering goods by clicking the button “order by e-mail” or “order by phone”, the customer makes a binding declaration that he wishes to purchase the ordered goods. The confirmation of the receipt of the order follows immediately after the order has been sent; it does not yet constitute an acceptance of the contract.

§ 8 Liability for material defects / warranty
- We guarantee that the goods to be delivered are in conformity with the contract at the time the risk passes to the customer. With regard to the type, scope and quality of the delivery item, only the information contained in the presentation on the homepage is decisive. Information in other brochures, catalogs or advertisements from W-E-G GmbH & Co. KG are not binding in this respect.
- If the buyer is an entrepreneur, we shall initially provide a guarantee for defects or goods by replacement delivery at our option.
- If the buyer is a consumer, he first has the choice of whether the supplementary performance should be carried out by repair or replacement. However, we are entitled to refuse the type of willful supplementary performance if it is now possible with disproportionate costs and the other type of supplementary performance remains without significant disadvantages for the consumer.
- If the supplementary performance fails for the second time, the customer can in principle, at his option, request a reduction in the remuneration (reduction) or cancellation of the contract (withdrawal). However, in the event of a minor lack of conformity, especially in the case of only minor defects, the customer has no right of withdrawal.
- Consumers must notify us of obvious defects in writing within a period of 14 days. This notice period begins with the delivery of the goods. The sending of the notification is decisive for meeting the deadline. Entrepreneurs must notify us in writing of obvious defects immediately upon receipt of the goods, otherwise the assertion of warranty claims is excluded. Deadline is sufficient for the timely dispatch. The entrepreneur bears the full burden of proof for all claim requirements, in particular for the defect itself, for the time at which the defect was discovered and for the timeliness of the notification of defects.
- For entrepreneurs, the warranty period is 1 year. The warranty period for consumers is 2 years. This does not apply if the customer did not notify us of an obvious defect in good time (see section 5 of this provision). The warranty periods begin to run from the point in time at which risk is transferred.
- The customer does not receive any guarantees in the legal sense from us.
§ 9 obligation of the buyer
- If the buyer is an entrepreneur, he undertakes to comply with the following requirements by means of an independent guarantee promise when concluding the contract: All labels made by WEG GmbH & Co. KG (prepackaged, service and transport packaging) are binding and may not be changed by the buyer . The goods are to be stored, transported, etc. by the entrepreneur upon acceptance in such a way that any lasting influence within the meaning of the LMHV and the EC organic regulation 834/2007 are excluded.
§ 10 liability
- We are liable for damages if we, our legal representatives or our vicarious agents are accused of intent or gross negligence. We are also liable if guarantees have been given or if the damage is caused by our delay or by impossibility of performance for which we are responsible.
- In the case of slightly negligent breaches of duty, our liability is limited to the damage typically occurring in the present transaction. This also applies to slightly negligent breaches of duty by our legal representatives or vicarious agents. We are not liable to entrepreneurs for slightly negligent breaches of insignificant contractual obligations.
- The above limitations of liability do not affect customer claims arising from product liability. Furthermore, the limitations of liability do not apply to damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health of the customer.
- Claims for damages by the customer due to a defect become statute-barred after one year from the transfer of risk. This does not apply if we be accused of fraud.
- According to the current state of technology, data communication via the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be error-free or available at all times. We are therefore neither liable for the constant and uninterrupted availability of our online trading system nor for technical or electronic errors over which we have no influence, in particular not for the delayed processing or acceptance of offers.
§ 11 final provisions
- The law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The provisions of the UN sales law do not apply.
- If the customer is a merchant, legal entity under public law or special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is our place of business in Fulda. The same applies if the customer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or if their domicile or habitual abode are not known at the time the action is brought.
- Should individual provisions of the contract with the customer, including these general terms and conditions, be or become ineffective in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
