(6) We shall not be obliged to accept registration or to accept a registered customer’s order. We shall not be obliged to keep our offer permanently available. Confirmed orders shall remain unaffected.

3. Contracting parties and conclusion of contract

(1) The purchase contract is concluded with WARDOW GmbH, Magdeburger Straße 5, 14641 Wustermark. We do not offer products for purchase by minors. If you are under the age of 18, your parent or guardian must assist you with your purchase.

(2) By clicking on the "Buy now" button, you place a binding order for the items contained in your shopping cart. The receipt of the order is confirmed immediately after the order has been submitted. All products are sold in normal household quantities only.

(3) A binding contract is deemed to have been concluded at the time of the order confirmation being sent, though no later than upon delivery of the ordered goods. Notwithstanding the right of cancellation to which orders placed by consumers are subject in any case, you shall be bound by your order for goods marked as "deliverable" for a period of 2 working days. In other cases, you shall be bound by your order for a maximum of 5 days.

(4) Please note that if you order items which are paid for in advance (reservation), the delivery shall only be performed once the full amount has been credited to our account. If, despite payment being due and a renewed request for payment being issued, we do not receive your payment within 7 calendar days after the order confirmation is sent, we shall withdraw from the contract, as a result of which your order shall become void and we shall be under no obligation to deliver. In such a case, your order shall be deemed to have been completed without any further consequences for you or for us. Items to be paid for in advance may therefore only be reserved for a maximum of 7 calendar days.

(3) The delivery period shall be extended accordingly in the case of adverse circumstances affecting the delivery due to force majeure. Force majeure shall include strikes, lockouts, official interventions, energy and raw materials shortages, non-culpable transport shortages, non-culpable operational disturbances, e.g., the result of fire, water or machine damage, and all other hindrances which, from an objective point of view, have not been caused by us culpably. In case of such hindrances, we shall inform you as soon as these occur and are resolved. If, in the aforementioned cases, our services are impeded for a period of more than 4 weeks from the originally applicable delivery dates, you shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. Further claims, in particular, claims for damages shall be excluded.

In addition to the statutory right of cancellation, we grant you a voluntary right of return for all purchases for a total of 30 days after receipt of the goods. After the expiry of the 14-day cancellation period (see the instruction on the right of cancellation above), you shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract by returning the goods to us within 30 days of receipt (starting from the day following the receipt of goods) to the address provided at the end of this paragraph. The deadline is considered met so long as you dispatch the goods within the time limit. Prerequisite for the exercise of the voluntary right of return, however, is that you have worn the items only in order to try them on (just as you would in a retail store) and that the goods are returned in full, in their original condition, intact, without damage, and in their original packaging. The voluntary right of return does not apply to purchases made using gift vouchers.

The contractually granted (voluntary) right of return shall not limit your statutory warranty rights, which shall continue to apply without limitation.

If goods are delivered with obvious transport damages, please complain about such defects to the deliverer as soon as possible and contact us immediately. Failure to file a complaint or contact us shall have no consequences for your statutory claims and their enforcement, in particular, your warranty rights.

10. Retention of title

Until full payment is made, the goods shall remain our property.

11. Redeeming discount vouchers

(1) Discount vouchers (vouchers that you cannot purchase, but which we issue as part of advertising campaigns subject to a specific validity period) are only valid for the specified online store, only in the specified period and redeemable only once during one order process. Individual brands may be excluded from the special voucher offer.

(2) The value of the goods must be at least equal to the amount of the promotional voucher. For administrative reasons, any remaining balance may not be refunded.

(3) Discount vouchers can only be redeemed before completing the order process. They may not be applied after the order has been placed. The balance of a promotional voucher is neither paid out in cash nor does it bear interest.

(5) If the balance of a discount voucher is insufficient to cover the total amount of the order, the difference can be paid using the offered payment options.

(6) The discount coupon shall not be refunded if goods are returned in whole or in part, provided that the discount coupon was issued as part of a promotion, and no consideration was given for it.

(7) If you have used a discount voucher with your purchase, we reserve the right to charge you the original price of the goods you keep, in the event that you exercise your right of cancellation and, consequently, the total value of the order falls below the respective value of the discount voucher.

12. Applicable law; Place of jurisdiction

(1) German law shall apply to the conclusion and execution of all contracts. The application of the UN Sales Law is excluded.

(2) For business transactions with merchants or legal entities under public law, the place of jurisdiction for legal disputes in relation to these General Terms and Conditions and any separate individual contracts concluded on the basis thereof, including any legal action regarding bills of exchange and cheques, shall be the registered offices of WARDOW (Wustermark). In these cases, we shall also be entitled to take legal action before a court which has legal jurisdiction over the customer's registered office.

13. Amendments to the General Terms and Conditions

We are entitled to unilaterally change these General Terms and Conditions (insofar as they have been applied to the contractual relationship with the customer), if this is necessary to eliminate any subsequently arising disruptions to the performance/consideration ratio or to adapt to changed legal or technical conditions. We shall inform the customer of any adjustments by notifying the content of the amended regulations. The amendment shall become an integral part of the contract unless the customer objects to the inclusion of the amended provision in the contractual relationship by notifying us either in writing or electronically within six weeks of receipt of the notice of amendment.

14. Severability clause

Should individual provisions of the contract, including these provisions, be or become wholly or partially invalid, or should the contract contain a legal gap which the parties could not have foreseen, the validity of the remaining provisions or parts of such provisions shall remain unaffected. The relevant statutory regulations shall replace the invalid or missing provisions.
