Terms and Conditions (05.06.2018)

General Terms & Conditions

In respect to business relations of all types between Publikat GmbH, 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 and Contract Conclusion

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.

Prices

All prices are in Euro. All prices include the applicable purchase tax. 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, Publikat has the right to refuse or cancel any incoming orders.

Consequences of revocation

If you revoke this contract, we must refund all payments we have received from you, including the delivery costs (excluding additional costs which arise if you have chosen another kind of delivery as the favorable standard delivery offered through us), immediately and within fourteen days from the date on which we received your notification concerning your revocation of this contract. For the repayment we will use the same payment method you have used for the initial transaction, unless it was expressly entered into another agreement with you; in no case shall we charge you additional amounts because of this repayment. We may refuse the repayment until we receive the goods or until you supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earlier.

In every case, the goods have to be send back or hand over from the date on which you communicate your revocation of this contract to us, without delay and within fourteen days at the latest. The revocation period is kept, if you send back the goods before the end of the revocation period of fourteen days. If you add a receipt of the shipping costs to your return package, we will then refund the amount for the shipping costs up to a value of 15 €. You shall only be liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to ascertain the nature and functioning of the goods.

End of cancellation policy.

Voluntary Right of Return within 30 Days after Receipt of the Goods

For all purchases we provide, besides the legal right of revocation, a voluntary right of return within 30 days after receipt of the goods. With this right of return you are also able to rescind the contract after the end of the revocation period of 14 days (see the cancellation policy above) by sending back the goods within 30 days after receipt (revocation period begins the day after you received the goods) to the following address:

Publikat GmbH
Bauhofstrasse 800
63762 Grossostheim
Germany

To observe the revocation period, it is sufficient to send back the goods in time. If you add a proof of the shipping costs to your return package, we will then refund the money for the shipping costs up to a value of 15 €.

For the repayment we will use the same payment method you have used for the initial transaction, unless it was expressly entered into another agreement with you; in no case shall we charge you additional amounts because of this repayment. We may refuse the repayment until we receive the goods or until you supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earlier.

Your legal right of revocation will not be affected by the exercise of our supplementary, voluntary right of revocation and will remain irrespective of this. Before the end of the legal revocation period, the contained statutory regulations shall apply exclusively. Furthermore, the contractually granted voluntary right of return does not restrict your legal right of warranty, which remains preserved for you without limitation.

Warranty

There is a right of warranty on all goods of our shop. On receiving the ordered items, the customer shall examine the goods in order to ensure that they are complete and that there are no defects. This examination shall be effected as soon as possible. Should a loss or defect be ascertained, the customer shall immediately serve a notice of defect.

The warranty period shall be a period of two years after the goods are delivered to the customer.

In the case of defective goods, the customer is entitled to claim at his discretion either the removal of the defective part or delivery of a product which is free of defects. Publikat is entitled to refuse the kind of replacement chosen by the customer, if the kind of replacement requires unreasonable expense.

The vendor does not issue a guarantee to the customer in the legal sense if there is no other explicit arrangement between the two parties beforehand. This does not apply to manufacturer’s warranties.

Reservation of Proprietary Rights

All of our deliveries and performances occur under proprietary right. Until the delivered products have been paid for in full by the customer they remain the property of Publikat.

Liability

Publikat is liable in cases of positive breach of obligation, culpa in contrahendo, delayed performance, subsequent impossibility of performance, tortious act as well as due to other legal reasons in cases of intent and gross negligence. Publikat is also liable in the event of injury to life, limb and health and in cases of slight negligence.

In case of culpable breach of contractual cardinal or fraud as well as in cases of claims for compensation, Publikat is liable within the framework of legislation. Only in cases of a breach of cardinal obligations, the liability is limited to typical, foreseeable damage. Consequential damages are excluded to that extent. In cases of delayed performance, the customer is entitled either to compensation in damages or to rescind the contract.
