(b) A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business, or profession.

2. Contractual Partner, Formation of Contract

(a) The contract is formed with SACLÀB GmbH, Schwanthalerstr. 10, 80336 Munich, Germany.

(b) All products, items, and services available for purchase in the seller’s online shop do not constitute legally binding offers by the seller, but rather invitations for customers to make a purchase offer.

Upon submitting an order, the customer will immediately receive an email confirming receipt of the order. This email does not constitute acceptance of the offer in the legal sense. The contract is concluded through a separate order confirmation from the seller within five days. Alternatively, the contract is concluded within five days if the ordered goods are delivered to the customer or the customer is requested to make payment.

3. Prices, VAT, Payment

All stated prices are total prices including statutory VAT plus any applicable shipping costs depending on the delivery method (see Point 4).

The seller offers the payment methods that are indicated within the online shop. The seller will issue an invoice for the ordered goods, which will be included with the delivery or sent via mail.

Advance payment
If you choose advance payment, we will provide you with our bank details in a separate email and will deliver the goods upon receipt of payment.

Credit Card
When you place your order, you provide us with your credit card details. After verifying you as the legitimate cardholder, the payment transaction will be carried out automatically and your card will be charged.

PayPal
During the ordering process, you will be redirected to PayPal’s website. To pay the invoice amount via PayPal, you must be registered there or register first, authenticate with your login details, and confirm the payment instructions to us. After placing the order in the shop, we will request PayPal to initiate the payment transaction. The payment transaction will then be carried out automatically by PayPal. You will receive further information during the ordering process.

4. Delivery Conditions

(a) If a delivery (dispatch to the shipping company) is agreed upon between the seller and the buyer, it will be carried out promptly after receipt of payment. Please refer to the respective product description for shipping and packaging costs and the delivery date. The shipping and packaging costs for the respective countries to which the items are shipped will be precisely displayed as a total sum.

(d) If the buyer is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally passes to the customer or a person authorized to receive them upon delivery. If the customer commissions the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the customer already when the seller delivers the item to the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, even if the customer is a consumer.

(g) If the goods are delivered with obvious transport damages, please report the defect to the carrier and notify us immediately. Failure to make a complaint or to make contact does not affect your legal rights or the enforcement of such rights, notably your warranty rights. However, by doing so, you help us to assert our own claims against the carrier or transport insurer.
