Terms and conditions

These general terms and conditions apply exclusively to entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB, i.e., all natural or legal persons or other legally capable partnerships acting in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction; authorities; corporations under public law; legal entities under public law. Consumers are excluded as customers. The customer is obliged to provide truthful information when making a request. In the event of a simulated entrepreneurial status, no purchase contract is concluded.

1. Conclusion of contract and subject matter of the contract

1.1 These general terms and conditions apply to the ordering of goods from our range. You have the option to conclude the purchase contract in German or English. Deviating regulations, in particular the terms and conditions of the contractual partners, shall only apply if their validity has been expressly and in writing acknowledged by Becker Tech GmbH before the conclusion of the contract by signature on the same. Becker Tech GmbH is not obliged to object to the contractual forms or terms and conditions of the contractual partners, even if these terms and conditions explicitly state their validity as a condition for the conclusion of the contract. Becker Tech GmbH declares that it only wishes to contract based on these general terms and conditions.

1.2 The presentation of the products on our website does not constitute a legally binding offer but a non-binding online catalog. The contract is only concluded upon acceptance of the customer's order by us. For this purpose, the customer receives an order confirmation.

1.3 We store the contract text and send the customer the order data by email.

2. Prices

The price stated on the website www.becker-tech.de and the price to be paid by the customer is a net price, to which the applicable statutory VAT must be added. The prices for items requiring assembly are understood as unassembled. In addition to the purchase price, shipping costs are charged. You can find the amount of the shipping costs in the price list or your individual offer.

3. Payment method

The goods will be dispatched after prepayment unless it is a "purchase on account". We will provide the customer with our bank details after the conclusion of the contract by email. As soon as the invoice amount has been credited to the specified account, we will arrange the shipment of the purchased goods. The customer will be informed by email about the receipt of payment and also the handover to our shipping service. In the case of a "purchase on account", the buyer must pay the purchase price stated in the invoice within 14 days, including the applicable VAT, after receiving the invoice, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The receipt of the money on the seller's specified account is decisive for meeting the deadline.

We reserve the right to accept further payment methods on a case-by-case basis, especially for customers from abroad or in the case of delivery abroad. Furthermore, we reserve the right to accept only one of the above-mentioned payment methods on a case-by-case basis and to exclude the others.

In the event of an agreement for a down payment with the remaining payment, the following applies: If the customer does not make the remaining payment according to the agreed payment dates, we are entitled, after reminder with a deadline, to withdraw from the contract and charge the customer cancellation costs in the amount of the down payment (cancellation fee).

4. Purchase processing

The customer receives an order confirmation by email with all the data required for processing the contract. If this email is not received, the customer should inform us so that the delivery of the processing-relevant email can be ensured or rescheduled as soon as possible.

5. Customer cooperation

The customer must ensure that the data provided when ordering and communicated at the conclusion of the contract is correct for the fulfillment of the contract, particularly the reachable email address and delivery address. The customer must also ensure that the receipt of emails at the email address provided by them is technically possible and not prevented by, for example, forwarding, deactivation, or overcapacity.

6. Retention of title

We reserve the ownership of all goods delivered by us to a customer until the final and complete payment of the delivered goods.

In this case, we are entitled to extend our delivery dates and deadlines depending on the scope and duration of the force majeure event and its consequences, without the customer having the right to withdraw from the contract or a right to compensation. For the period of the legitimate extension of delivery dates and deadlines, we are not in default.

If the interruption caused by a force majeure event lasts longer than six months, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part without the customer deriving any compensation claims from it.

8. Prohibition of offsetting / Right of retention

8.1 The customer is not entitled to offset their claims against our payment claims unless the claims arise from the same contractual relationship or are undisputed or legally established.

9.2 If the goods delivered by us have defects, the statutory warranty regulations apply. The type of supplementary performance (repair or replacement) is at our discretion.

9.3 A prerequisite for warranty claims is that the defect was not caused by improper use or stress.

9.4 Claims for defects expire one year after the handover / delivery of the purchased item to the customer. This limitation does not apply to claims for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health or from the violation of an essential contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the contractual partner can regularly rely (cardinal obligation), as well as for claims for damages arising from other intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty.
