GENERAL

1. Scope of application & deadlines

1.1 Business transactions and deliveries shall be carried out exclusively in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions, which shall form the basis of all contracts concluded on the basis of the offers on the Internet store page www.steiner1888.com. General terms and conditions that conflict with or deviate from the following provisions shall not apply. The following terms and conditions shall also apply exclusively if we carry out the delivery and service without reservation in the knowledge of terms and conditions that conflict with or deviate from the following terms and conditions.
1.2 Where these General Terms and Conditions refer to as "consumers", these are natural persons for whom the purpose of the order cannot be attributed to a commercial, self-employed or freelance activity, i.e. a transaction does not form part of the operation of their business. "Entrepreneurs", on the other hand, are natural or legal persons or partnerships with legal capacity for whom the transaction is part of the operation of their business. The distinction between consumers and entrepreneurs is made within the meaning of the Austrian Consumer Protection Law (KschG). "Customers" in the sense of these General Terms and Conditions are both, consumers and entrepreneurs.
1.3 If working days are specified as deadlines, this shall be understood as including all weekdays with the exception of Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

4. Language and conclusion of contract

4.1 Contracts concerning items offered at www.steiner1888.com can only be concluded in German. The content of the contract, all other information, customer service, data information and complaint handling are offered in German. 4.2 By clicking the "Pay" button, you place a binding order for the items contained in the shopping cart. The confirmation of receipt of the order follows immediately after sending the order. 4.3 A binding contract is concluded with the transmission of the order confirmation, but at the latest with the delivery of the ordered products. You shall be bound to your order for 2 business days in the case of goods marked as "available for delivery" - irrespective of the right of withdrawal that exists in any case for orders as a consumer. Otherwise, the binding period shall be no longer than 4 working days. 4.4 Please note that in the case of advance payment (reservation) the delivery of the ordered goods will only take place after the full amount has been credited to our account. If your payment is not received by us within 5 calendar days after sending the order confirmation, we withdraw from the contract with the consequence that your order is invalid and we are not obliged to deliver. The order is then completed for you and for us without further consequences. A reservation of the article with pre-payments does not take place. We reserve the right to withdraw from the contract in case of sudden inability to deliver. Payments made will of course be returned immediately depending on the method of payment.

5. Extension of delivery periods

The delivery time extends appropriately with the delivery impairing circumstances by higher force. Force majeure shall be deemed to include strikes, lockouts, official interventions, shortages of energy and raw materials, transport bottlenecks for which we are not responsible, operational hindrances for which we are not responsible, e.g. due to fire, water and damage to machinery, and all other hindrances which, viewed objectively, are not attributed to us. We will inform you immediately of the start and end of such hindrances.

6. Applicable law, place of jurisdiction

6.1 The law of the Republic of Austria shall apply to all legal transactions or other legal relationships with us. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and any other intergovernmental agreements, even after their adoption into Austrian law, shall not apply. In the case of contracts for a purpose that cannot be attributed to the professional or commercial activity of the entitled party (contract with consumer), this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the state law in which the consumer has his habitual residence. 6.2 In business transactions with merchants and with legal entities under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes concerning these Terms and Conditions and individual contracts concluded under their validity, including actions on bills of exchange and checks, shall be the registered office of Steiner1888 (Mandling). In this case we are also entitled to sue at the customer's place of business. 6.3 We undertake to participate in the arbitration procedure of the Internet Ombudsman in the event of disputes: www.ombudsmann.at Internet Ombudsman, Ungargasse 64-66/3/404, A-1030 Vienna More detailed information on the types of proceedings can be found at www.ombudsmann.at. For the settlement of disputes with our company, the OSPlattform can also be used: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Our e-mail address: office@steiner1888.com

You have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority.

8. Modification of the General Terms and Conditions

We are entitled to unilaterally change these GTC - insofar as they are introduced into the contractual relationship with the customer - insofar as this is necessary to eliminate subsequent equivalence disturbances or to adapt to changed legal or technical framework conditions. We will inform the customer about an adjustment and the content of the changed regulations. The change becomes part of the contract if the customer does not object to the inclusion in the contractual relationship in writing or in text form within six weeks of receipt of the notification of the change.

9. Severability clause

Should individual provisions of the contract, including these provisions, be or become invalid in whole or in part, or should the contract contain an unforeseen loophole, the validity of the remaining provisions or parts of such provisions shall remain unaffected.

ORDERS IN THE STEINER1888 ONLINE STORE

1. Contractual partner

When ordering items from the Steiner1888 online store, your exclusive contractual partner is Steiner GmbH & Co KG, Mandling 90, A-8974 Mandling. The contractual partners agree on the application of Austrian law. If the consumer has his domicile or habitual residence in Austria or if he is employed in Austria, only the jurisdiction of the court in whose district the domicile, habitual residence or place of employment is located can be established for a lawsuit against him; this does not apply to legal disputes that have already arisen.

2. Prices and Shipping costs

The prices listed in the offer at the time of the order shall apply. The prices stated are final prices, i.e. they include the applicable statutory value-added tax and other price components. The shipping costs are added in the ordering process (after the shopping cart, after entering the address). Our shipping costs include handling, packaging and shipping. Since shipping prices depend individually on the size, weight and the country of destination of each order, they are calculated individually for each order in the online store. You can find out the actual shipping costs for the goods you want in the online store by placing the selected items in the shopping cart and selecting the destination country for delivery. The price shown there includes all costs listed above.

3. Payment, delivery times, delivery partners

  • Payment via credit card (VISA, Mastercard, Diners Club)
  • Payment via Paypal

3.4 a. Delivery times and delivery dates are generally non-binding, but we strive to deliver the fastest way, this by parcel service DPD. It must be taken into account that our products are not mass-produced items and delivery bottlenecks cannot always be avoided. In such cases we can execute the order in partial deliveries.
3.4 b. In the case of acceptance of larger quantities, delivery times shall be expressly agreed separately in writing.
3.4 c. The delivery date shall be postponed in cases of force majeure or occurrence of unforeseen events beyond our control.

3.5 Delivery shall be made by DPD, the place of performance for all transactions shall be the company location, and DPD shall be responsible for delivery.
When the goods are shipped, the risk of loss or damage to the goods shall not pass to the consumer until the goods are delivered to the consumer or to a third party designated by the consumer and different from the carrier. If, however, the consumer has concluded the contract of carriage himself without making use of a selection option suggested by us, the risk shall pass as soon as the goods are handed over to the carrier.
