1) Scope
1.1 The following General Terms and Conditions (GTC) govern the contractual relationship between Rocker Parts GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") and consumers and businesses who use the website and other services offered by Rocker Parts GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Customer"). These GTC apply to the use of the website www.rocker-parts.de and all subdomains belonging to this domain, as well as sales platforms such as eBay, Google, or Amazon. The version valid at the time of conclusion of the contract shall apply. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed. The contract language is German.
1.2 These terms and conditions apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of promotional vouchers, unless otherwise stipulated.
1.3 For the purposes of these terms and conditions, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither attributable to their commercial nor their independent professional activity.
1.4 For the purposes of these terms and conditions, an entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a legally capable partnership that, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity.
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve as an invitation to the customer to submit a binding offer.
2.2 The customer can submit their offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding offer to purchase the goods in the shopping cart by clicking the button that finalizes the order. The customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, or email.
2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days.,
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time when one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is considered a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.
2.4 When selecting a payment method offered by PayPal, payment processing is handled by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if the customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays using a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected during the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the moment the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.
2.5 When an offer is submitted via the seller's online order form, the contract text is stored by the seller after the contract is concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g., email, fax, or letter) after the order has been placed. The seller does not make the contract text available in any other way. If the customer has created a user account in the seller's online shop before placing their order, the order data is archived on the seller's website. This data can be accessed free of charge by the customer via their password-protected user account using the corresponding login details.
2.6 Before submitting a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify potential input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. A useful technical aid for better error detection is the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the screen display. The customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using standard keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that completes the order.
2.7 Order processing and communication generally take place via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address provided for order processing is correct so that emails sent by the seller can be received at that address. In particular, if using spam filters, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller for order processing can be delivered.

Our prices therefore include German VAT, regardless of the customer's country of delivery.

6.1 If the seller offers shipping, delivery will be made within the seller's specified delivery area to the delivery address provided by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address specified in the seller's order processing system is decisive for the processing of the transaction.
6.2 If delivery of the goods fails for reasons attributable to the customer, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply to the initial shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. Regarding return shipping costs, the provisions set forth in the seller's cancellation policy apply if the customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal.
6.3 If the customer is acting as a business, the risk of accidental loss or damage to the goods sold passes to the customer as soon as the seller has handed the goods over to the carrier, freight forwarder, or other person or entity designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss or damage to the goods sold generally only passes to the customer upon delivery of the goods to the customer or an authorized recipient. Notwithstanding the above, even in the case of consumers, the risk of accidental loss or damage to the goods sold passes to the customer as soon as the seller has handed the goods over to the carrier, freight forwarder, or other person or entity designated to carry out the shipment, provided that the customer has commissioned the carrier, freight forwarder, or other person or entity to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously informed the customer of this person or entity.
6.4 In the event of incorrect or improper delivery to the seller by its own suppliers, the seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract. This applies only if the non-delivery is not the seller's fault and the seller has concluded a specific cover transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The seller will make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the payment will be refunded immediately.
6.5 The customer can collect the ordered goods within the business hours specified by the seller at the address provided by the seller, if the seller offers the goods for collection. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

7) Retention of title
7.1 The seller retains ownership of the delivered goods vis-à-vis consumers until full payment of the purchase price owed.
7.2 The seller retains ownership of the delivered goods vis-à-vis companies until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been fully settled.
7.3 If the customer is acting as a business, they are entitled to resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. The customer hereby assigns to the seller in advance all claims against third parties arising from such resale, up to the amount of the respective invoice value (including VAT). This assignment applies regardless of whether the goods subject to retention of title have been resold before or after processing. The customer remains authorized to collect the receivables even after the assignment. The seller's right to collect the receivables directly remains unaffected. However, as long as the customer fulfills their payment obligations to the seller, is not in default of payment, and no application for the commencement of insolvency proceedings has been filed, the seller will not collect the receivables.
8) Liability for defects (warranty)
The provisions of statutory warranty law apply unless otherwise stipulated in the following regulations. The following applies in deviation from this:
8.1 If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur,
8.2 The aforementioned limitations of liability and reductions of time limits do not apply.
8.3 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing statutory right of recourse remain unaffected.
8.4 If the customer is a merchant within the meaning of Section 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), they are subject to the commercial duty to inspect and give notice of defects pursuant to Section 377 of the HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations stipulated therein, the goods are deemed approved.
8.5 If the customer is a consumer, they are requested to report any delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the delivery person and to inform the seller. Failure to do so will not affect their statutory or contractual warranty rights.
9) Liability
The seller is liable to the customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory claims, including tort claims, for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:
9.1 The seller is fully liable for any legal reason.
9.2 If the seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damages typical for this type of contract, unless unlimited liability applies pursuant to the preceding clause. Material contractual obligations are those obligations that the contract imposes on the seller to achieve its purpose, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper performance of the contract, and on whose compliance the customer may regularly rely.
9.3 Furthermore, the seller's liability is excluded.
9.4 The above liability provisions also apply with regard to the seller's liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

10.7 The balance of a promotional voucher will neither be paid out in cash nor accrue interest.
10.8 The promotional voucher will not be refunded if the customer returns the goods paid for in whole or in part with the promotional voucher within the scope of their statutory right of withdrawal.
10.9 The promotional voucher is intended for use only by the person named on it. Transfer of the promotional voucher to third parties is prohibited. The seller is entitled, but not obligated, to verify the voucher holder's eligibility.
11) Applicable Law
All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws on the international sale of goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which they have their habitual residence.
12) Place of jurisdiction
If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, and has its registered office within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller's place of business shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract. If the customer has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller's place of business shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract, provided that the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the customer's professional or commercial activities. In the aforementioned cases, however, the seller shall in any event be entitled to bring an action before the court at the customer's registered office.
