Customer Information General Terms and Conditions

1. Scope of Application

1.1

 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of Check for Trips GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods, which a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") conducts with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online store. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2

 These GTC shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of digital content, unless otherwise expressly agreed.

1.3

These GTC shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of tickets, unless otherwise expressly agreed. In this context, these GTC only regulate the sale of tickets for certain events described in more detail in the Seller's item description and not the performance of these events. The execution of the events shall be governed exclusively by the statutory provisions in the relationship between the customer and the organizer and, if applicable, by any terms and conditions of the organizer that deviate from these. If the seller is not also the organizer, he is not liable for the proper execution of the event, for which the respective organizer is exclusively responsible.

1.4

A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when conducting a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.

1.5 

Digital content within the meaning of these GTC is all data that is not on a physical data carrier, which is produced in digital form and provided by the seller under the granting of certain rights of use regulated in more detail in these GTC.

2. Conclusion of Contract

2.1

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

2.2

The Customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller's online store. In doing so, after placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.3

The 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 shall be decisive, or by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer shall be 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 point in time at which 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 at the end 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 shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.

2.4

When submitting an offer 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 has sent his order. 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 store before sending his order, the order data shall 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 relevant login data.

2.5

Before bindingly placing the order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer may recognize 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 magnification 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.

2.6

The German and English languages are available to conduct the contract.

2.7

Order 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

3.1

Consumers are generally entitled to a right of revocation.

3.2

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

3.4

Pursuant to Section 312g (2) No. 9 of the German Civil Code (BGB), unless otherwise agreed, a right of revocation shall not apply to contracts for the provision of services in connection with leisure activities if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision of such services. Accordingly, a right of revocation is also excluded in the case of contracts for the sale of tickets for scheduled leisure events.

4. Prices and Terms of Payment

4.1

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

4.2

In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional 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.

4.3

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

4.4

If prepayment by bank transfer is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

4.5

If the payment method direct debit via Stripe is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: "Stripe"). In this case, Stripe will collect the invoice amount from the Customer's bank account after issuing a SEPA Direct Debit Mandate, but not before the expiry of the Pre-Notification period on behalf of the Seller. Pre-notification is any communication (e.g. invoice, policy, contract) to the customer announcing a debit via SEPA Direct Debit. If the direct debit is not honored due to a lack of sufficient funds in the account or due to the provision of incorrect bank details, or if the customer objects to the direct debit even though he is not entitled to do so, the customer shall bear the fees incurred by the respective credit institution as a result of the chargeback if he is responsible for this. The seller reserves the right to carry out a credit check when selecting the payment method SEPA direct debit and to reject this payment method in case of a negative credit check.

4.6

If the payment method credit card via Stripe is selected, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. The payment is processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: "Stripe"). Stripe reserves the right to perform a credit check and to reject this payment method in case of a negative credit check.

5. Delivery and Shipping Terms

5.2

This shall not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises its right of revocation. In the event of effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in this regard in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the return costs.

5.3

In the event of self-collection, the Seller shall first inform the Customer by e-mail that the goods ordered by him are ready for collection. After receipt of this e-mail, the customer can pick up the goods at the seller's headquarters after consultation with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

6.3

The granting of rights shall only become effective when the Customer has paid the contractually owed remuneration in full. The Seller may provisionally permit the use of the contractual content even before this point in time. Such provisional permission shall not constitute a transfer of rights.

In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence.

9.2

Furthermore, this choice of law with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal shall not apply to consumers who do not belong to a Member State of the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.
