(Especially for inquiries)
1. General
(1) These General Terms and Conditions (AGB) apply to all offers and services related to the online platform shop.miniatur-wunderland.de. If the customer refers to their own terms and conditions or purchasing conditions, these are hereby rejected.
(2) Individual contractual agreements take precedence over General Terms and Conditions.
2. Conclusion of Contract
(1) The service descriptions on our website shop.miniatur-wunderland.de do not constitute offers to conclude a purchase contract. Such an offer is only made with the customer’s online order via the contact form, or by telephone or text-based order. The confirmation of receipt of the order we send afterward does not constitute acceptance of this offer. The purchase contract is only concluded upon receipt of the order confirmation. The customer is no longer bound by their offer (it expires) if we have not sent them a declaration of acceptance within 5 calendar days (calculated from the receipt of the order by us).
(2) If an acceptance declaration delayed in reaching the customer was sent in such a way that it would have reached them on time under normal circumstances and if the customer should have recognized this, the customer must notify us of the delay immediately after receiving the declaration, unless this has already been done beforehand. If the customer delays sending the notification, the acceptance is considered not delayed. Otherwise, the delayed acceptance by us is considered a new offer to conclude a purchase contract, which the customer may accept by express declaration or by accepting the goods.
3. Choice of Law
The legal relationship between the contracting parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. This choice of law does not affect the mandatory consumer protection regulations of the country where the customer has their habitual residence. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.

6. Consumer Dispute Resolution
Since January 9, 2016, Regulation (EU) No. 524/2013 (ODR Regulation) has been in effect regarding online dispute resolution in consumer matters. It applies to the out-of-court settlement of disputes concerning contractual obligations from online purchase or service contracts between consumers and online merchants. The goal is to achieve a high level of consumer protection within the European internal market. The possibility of online dispute resolution (ODR) offers a simple, efficient, fast, and cost-effective extrajudicial solution for disputes. The ODR platform forwards properly submitted complaints to the competent ADR bodies (Alternative Dispute Resolution). The use of the ODR platform itself is free of charge, though consumers may incur costs (up to EUR 30.00) in procedures before the ADR bodies if their request is abusive.

You will find these notes again in the accompanying documents of the delivery.

(1) If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please report such defects immediately to the delivery person and contact us as soon as possible.
(2) Failure to file a complaint or contact us does not affect your statutory warranty rights. However, you help us to assert our claims against the carrier or transport insurer.
