Terms and conditions (01.11.2012)

In respect to business relations of all types between Publikat Verlags- und Handels GmbH & Co. KG, Germany (hereafter called Publikat) and its customers, the following general terms and conditions of business hold true in their legally valid versions, respectively. Different conditions or general business practices of the customer have no legal validity unless a written agreement has been negotiated elsewhere. All offers – whether they be transacted by telephone, telefax, Internet, e-mail or in any other form – only become legally binding for Publikat if they have been confirmed in writing, or if the goods have been delivered and/or an invoice has been delivered. Publikat reserves the right to deny the promised service subsequent to determining that the goods are no longer available, both after contractual settlement and also although a corresponding hedging transaction has been concluded. In such a case, the customer will be notified immediately. All reciprocations and considerations of any kind provided by the customer beforehand will be reimbursed without delay. It is then excluded that further legal claims be raised by the customer against Publikat.

Contractual languages are German, English, and French.
The products shown in the online shop are not a legal binding product offering but a non-binding online catalogue. By clicking the ordering button at the final step of the ordering process, the seller places a binding ordering of the chosen goods. After placing your order, Publikat will send a confirmation by email to the customer that the order was received. The order confirmation does not yet constitute a binding contract of sale. It is merely for your information, to let you know that Publikat have received your order. A binding contract of sale shall come into being when Publikat confirms the product shipping.

All Prices are in Euro. You will be charged the prices stated in our online-shop at the time your order has been placed. Prices do not include shipping. For sure Publikat will give its very best to avoid any pricing errors, but if there are wrong prices shown, Pubikat has the right to refuse or cancel any incoming orders.

In case of effective revocation, received performances (products / money) of both sides have to be returned. If you’re not able to return the received performances, or only parts of it, or in bad condition, you probably will have to pay compensation.

To avoid the duty of compensation, you should not do anything to affect the value of the products. Transportable products have to send back. Non transportable products will be picked up from your home address. If the delivered products are defective or they are not in accordance with what you have ordered, the warranty claim does not affect the right of revocation.
