Terms & Conditions

General terms and conditions and customer information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (Shodai Supermarkt) via the website www.shomagom.com. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms and conditions you may have used is objected to.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot predominantly be attributed to either their commercial or their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.

(2) As soon as the respective product is posted on our website, we make you a binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions stated in the item description.

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:

The goods intended for purchase are placed in the “shopping cart”. You can use the corresponding button in the navigation bar to access the “shopping cart” and make changes there at any time. After accessing the “Checkout” page and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page. If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal and Sofort) as your payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or you will first be redirected to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.

If you are forwarded to the respective instant payment system, make the appropriate selection or enter your data there. Finally, you will be directed back to the order overview page in our online shop.

Before sending the order, you have the opportunity to check all the information again, change it (also using the “back” function of the internet browser), or cancel the purchase. By submitting the order using the “buy” button, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the offer, which means the contract is concluded.

(4) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by email. You must therefore ensure that the email address you provide to us is correct, that the receipt of emails is technically ensured, and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title

(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following also applies:

a) We reserve ownership of the goods until all claims from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. Pledging or transfer of security is not permitted before ownership of the reserved goods is transferred.

b) You can resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that arise from the resale, and we accept the assignment. You are still authorized to collect the claim. However, if you do not properly meet your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) If the reserved goods are combined or mixed, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request to the extent that the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.

§ 4 Warranty

(1) The statutory liability rights for defects apply.

(2) As a consumer, you are asked to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects, and transport damage, and to report any complaints to us and the freight forwarder as quickly as possible. If you do not comply with this, it will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following warranty provisions apply:

a) Only our own information and the manufacturer’s product description are deemed to be agreed upon as to the quality of the item, but not other advertising, public praise, or statements made by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we will, at our discretion, provide a warranty through repair or subsequent delivery. If the defect cannot be remedied, you can either request a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The elimination of defects is deemed to have failed after an unsuccessful second attempt, unless the nature of the item, the defect, or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of repair, we do not have to bear the increased costs that arise from moving the goods to a location other than the place of performance if the delivery does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year from the delivery of the goods. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:

for culpably caused damages attributable to us resulting from injury to life, body or health and for other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;

if we have fraudulently concealed the defect or given a guarantee for the quality of the item;

for items that were used for a building in accordance with their normal use and caused its defects; for legal recourse claims that you have against us in connection with defect rights.

§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction

(1) German law applies. For consumers, this choice of law only applies to the extent that the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the consumer’s country of habitual residence is not withdrawn (principle of favourability).

(2) The place of performance for all services from the business relationships existing with us and the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, provided you are not a consumer but a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if your place of residence or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is filed. The right to appeal to the court at another legal place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.

(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods expressly do not apply.

The essential characteristics of the goods and/or services can be found in the respective offer.

5. Prices and payment methods

5.1. The prices listed in the respective offers as well as the shipping costs represent total prices. They include all price components, including all applicable taxes.

5.2. The shipping costs are not included in the purchase price. They can be accessed via a correspondingly labeled button on our website or in the respective offer, are shown separately during the ordering process, and are to be borne by you additionally, unless free shipping has been guaranteed.

5.3. If delivery is made to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise for which we are not responsible, such as customs duties, taxes, or money transfer fees (transfer or exchange rate fees from credit institutions), which must be borne by you. You must also bear any costs incurred for the money transfer in cases where the delivery is made to an EU member state but the payment was made outside the European Union.

5.4. The payment methods available to you are shown under a correspondingly labeled button on our website or in the respective offer.

6.2. If you are a consumer, it is regulated by law that the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the item sold during shipment only passes to you when the goods are handed over to you, regardless of whether the shipment is insured or uninsured. This does not apply if you have independently commissioned a transport company not named by the entrepreneur or another person designated to carry out the shipment.

If you are an entrepreneur, delivery and dispatch are at your risk.

6.3. If delivery cannot take place because the customer is not present, the shipment will be taken to a nearby parcel shop. There, the customer has another opportunity to pick up the shipment within the seven-day storage period. If the transport company sends the shipped goods back to the seller, the customer bears the costs of the unsuccessful shipping. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the circumstances that led to the impossibility of delivery or if he was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the seller announced the service to him a reasonable time in advance. Furthermore, this does not apply with regard to the shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises the right of cancellation, the return shipping costs will be subject to the provisions set out in the seller’s cancellation policy.

7. Statutory liability law for defects

Liability for defects is based on the “warranty” regulation in our General Terms and Conditions (Part I). These general terms and conditions and customer information were created by the dealer association’s lawyers, who specialize in IT law, and are constantly checked for legal compliance. Merchant Association Management AG guarantees the legal security of the texts and is liable in the event of warnings. Further information can be found at: http://www.haendlerbund.de/agb-service.
