  1. Storage Option and Access to the Contractual Text

3.1 You can view our Terms and Conditions on the website www.leichtfried-loden.com under Terms and Conditions at the bottom of the website (footer).

3.2 You can archive order details by waiting for the automatic order confirmation, which is e-mailed to the e-mail address provided, after completing your order. This order confirmation e-mail contains the order details and our general terms and conditions and can be printed or saved with your e-mail program.

3.3 Your order data will be stored with us, but for security reasons, you will not be able to access it directly. For each customer, we offer password-protected direct access (“Login”), which allows you to view details of your completed, open and recently shipped orders and manage and store your address data, possible payment data and any newsletter.

 

  1. Language and Conclusion of Contract

4.1 Contracts for articles offered under www.leichtfried-loden.com can only be completed in German. The content of the contract, all other information, customer service, data information and complaint resolution are offered in German.

4.2 By clicking the “Pay” button, you place a binding order for the items in the shopping cart. The confirmation of receipt of the order follows immediately after submitting the order.

4.3 A binding contract is concluded with the transmission of the order confirmation, but no later than when the goods ordered are delivered. You are bound to your order for 2 working days in the case of goods marked as “available”, regardless of the right of withdrawal that already exists for orders as a consumer. Otherwise, the binding period is 4 working days at the most.

4.4 Please note that the delivery of the ordered goods in case of prepayment (reservation) will only take place after the full amount has been credited to our account. If, despite the due date, we have not received your payment within 5 calendar days after the order confirmation has been sent, including after a renewed request, we will withdraw from the contract with the consequence that your order is no longer valid, and we are not obliged to deliver. The order is then terminated for you and for us without further consequences. Reservation of goods with prepayment is not possible. We reserve the right to withdraw from the contract in case of an unforeseen inability to deliver. Any payments made will, of course, be refunded immediately in accordance with the method of payment.

 

  1. Extension of Delivery Times

In the event delivery is affected due to force majeure, the delivery time shall be extended as necessary. Force majeure includes strikes, lockouts, official interventions, energy and raw materials shortages, transport bottlenecks through no fault of our own, operational hindrances through no fault of our own, for example due to fire, water and machine damage, and all other hindrances which, from an objective point of view, have not been intentionally caused by us. We will inform you immediately of the start and end of such disruptions.

 

  1. Applicable Law, Place of Jurisdiction

6.1 All legal transactions or other legal relationships with us shall be governed by the law of the Republic of Austria. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and any other international agreements, even after their incorporation into Austrian law, shall not apply. In the case of contracts for a purpose which cannot be attributed to the professional or commercial activity of the entitled party (contract with consumer), this choice of law shall apply only to the

extent that the protection granted is not deprived by mandatory provisions of the law of the State in which the consumer is habitually resident.

6.2 In business transactions with merchants and legal entities under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes concerning these terms and conditions and individual contracts concluded under their validity, including bills of exchange and cheque actions, is the registered office of Leichtfried GmbH & Co. KG (Möbersdorf, Zeltweg). In such cases, we are also entitled to pursue legal action at the customer’s place of business.

6.3 We undertake to participate in the internet ombudsman’s arbitration procedure in the event of a dispute:

www.ombudsmann.at
Internet Ombudsman, Ungargasse 64-66/3/404, A-1030 Vienna

The OS Platform can also be used to settle disputes with our company: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

Our e-mail address: shop@leichtfried-loden.com

 

  1. Right to Appeal

7.1 You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For Austria, this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Wickenburggasse 8, 1080 Vienna, phone: +43 1 52 152-0, e-mail: dsb@dsb.gv.at, web: www.dsb.gv.at. You are also encouraged to contact us directly if you have any complaints: shop@leichtfried-loden.com

 

  1. Amendment to the General Terms and Conditions

We are entitled to unilaterally amend these General Terms and Conditions – insofar as they have been introduced into the contractual relationship with the customer – where necessary to eliminate any subsequent equivalence disruptions or to adapt to changed legal or technical conditions. We will inform the customer of any adjustments by notifying him or her of the content of the amended provisions. The change will become part of the contract if the customer does not object to our inclusion in the agreement in writing or text form within six weeks of receipt of the notification of change.

 

  1. Severability clause

Should individual provisions of the contract, including these regulations, be or become invalid in whole or in part or should the contract contain an unforeseen gap, the validity of the remaining provisions or parts of such provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid or missing provisions shall be replaced by the respective legal regulations.

 

ORDERS IN THE LEICHTFRIED LODEN ONLINE SHOP

  1. Contractual Partner

When ordering items from the Leichtfried Loden Online Shop, your exclusive contractual partner is Leichtfried GmbH & Co. KG in Möbersdorf 7, 8740 Zeltweg, Austria. The contractual partners agree to the application of Austrian law. If the consumer has his or her domicile or habitual residence or is employed in Austria, only the jurisdiction of the court in whose district the domicile, habitual

residence or place of employment is located can be established for any legal action against him or her; this does not apply to legal disputes that have already arisen.

  1. Prices and Shipping Costs

The prices quoted in the offer/webshop at the time of ordering apply. The prices quoted are the final prices, i.e., they include the applicable statutory value added tax and other price components (excluding shipping costs).

Shipping costs are added separately during the ordering process.

Our shipping costs include processing, packaging and shipping. Since the shipping prices are dependent on the size, weight and destination country of each particular order, they are calculated individually for each order in the online shop.

You can check the specific shipping costs of the goods you want in the online shop by placing the selected items in the shopping cart and selecting the destination country of the delivery. The price shown there includes all the above costs.

The actual shipping costs of the goods you wish to order can be viewed in the online shop by placing the selected items in the shopping cart and selecting the destination country for the shipment. The price shown there includes all costs listed above.

 

  1. Payment, Delivery Times and Delivery Partners

3.1 In principle, we offer the following payment methods: – Prepayment by bank transfer

You should transfer the stated total amount to our account within 5 working days, the ordered items will be reserved for you until then. As soon as your payment has been received, we will ship the ordered items to the address provided.

– Payment by credit card

The electronic transactions are carried out via our payment service provider Stripe. We reserve the right, for each order, not to offer certain payment methods and to refer to other payment methods. The goods are invoiced in Euro.

3.2 In the case of a credit card purchase, your credit card account will be debited upon completion of the order.

3.3 Worldwide payments are accepted.

3.4 Goods that are marked as “available” in the online store will be delivered immediately after we receive the order and, if applicable, after receipt of the advance payment, generally within a maximum of 7-10 working days. Any deviating delivery times are indicated on the respective product page.

3.4.1 Delivery times and delivery dates are generally non-binding, but we make every effort to deliver by the fastest possible means, i.e., by parcel service. It should be taken into account that our products are not mass produced and delivery bottlenecks cannot always be avoided. In such cases we may fulfil the order through partial deliveries.

3.4.2 In the case of acceptances of larger quantities, delivery times are expressly agreed separately in writing.

3.4.3 The delivery date is postponed in cases of force majeure or occurrence of unforeseen events that are outside our control.

3.4.4 The delivery date shall also be postponed if the customer is in default with the obligations for which the customer is responsible, e.g., handing over documents or other types of cooperation.

3.5 Our goods are delivered by DPD. The place of performance for all business transactions is the company location. When the goods are shipped, the risk of loss or damage to the goods is only transferred to the consumer as soon as the goods are delivered to the consumer or to a third party designated by the consumer and different from the carrier. However, if the consumer himself has entered into the contract of carriage without making use of an option we have proposed, the risk shall pass to the consumer as soon as the goods are handed over to the carrier.
