1) Scope of application
1.1 These general terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as the "general terms and conditions") of SDG Distribution SAS (hereinafter referred to as the "seller"), apply to all contracts concluded by a consumer or a company (hereinafter referred to as the "customer") with the seller with regard to the goods and/or services presented by the seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own general terms and conditions is excluded, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 For the purchase of vouchers, these general terms and conditions apply accordingly, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be predominantly attributed either to his commercial professional activity or to his self-employed professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity, who acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.
2) Conclusion of the 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 to submit a binding offer on the part of the Customer.
2.2 The Customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods and/or services in the virtual shopping cart and following the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer for the goods and/or services contained in the shopping cart by clicking on the button concluding the ordering process. In addition, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone.
2.3 The seller may accept the customer's offer within five days,
- by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer being decisive, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, the receipt of the goods by the customer being decisive, or
- by asking the customer to pay after placing the order.
If there are several of the above-mentioned alternatives, the contract is concluded at the moment when one of the above-mentioned alternatives occurs first. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 If the customer chooses "PayPal Express" as the payment method as part of the online ordering process, the customer must also place a payment order with his payment service provider by clicking on the button concluding the order process. In this case, the seller hereby declares, in derogation of article 2.3, that it accepts the customer's offer at the time the customer initiates the payment transaction by clicking on the button concluding the order process.
2.5 The offer acceptance period begins on the day following the sending of the offer by the customer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer.
2.6 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract will be recorded by the Seller and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g. by e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent the order together with these Terms and Conditions. In addition, the contract text is archived on the Seller's website and can be viewed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected customer account by entering the corresponding login data, provided that the customer has created a customer account in the Seller's online shop before sending his order.
2.7 Prior to the mandatory submission of the order via the seller's online order form, the customer may correct his entries continuously using the usual keyboard and mouse functions. In addition, all entries are displayed again in a confirmation window before the mandatory submission of the order and can also be corrected there using the usual keyboard and mouse functions.
2.8 Only the German or French language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.9 Order processing and contact is generally carried out by e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address he has provided for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using anti-spam filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties mandated by the seller to process the order can be delivered.
3) Right of revocation

3.2 More detailed information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's revocation policy.

4.3 If advance payment has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract.

5) Delivery and Shipping Terms
5.1 The goods are delivered by dispatch to the delivery address indicated by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address indicated in the seller's order processing is decisive for the transaction. Notwithstanding the above, if the PayPal payment method is selected, the delivery address registered by the Customer with PayPal at the time of payment shall be decisive.
5.2 If the transport company returns the shipped goods to the seller because delivery to the Customer was not possible, the Customer shall bear the costs of the unsuccessful shipment. This does not apply if the customer actually exercises his right of revocation, if he is not responsible for the circumstance that led to the impossibility of delivery or if he was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the seller has given him reasonable notice of the performance.
5.3 If the customer acts as a contractor, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the freight forwarder, carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall not pass to the customer until the goods are handed over to the customer or to a person or institution authorized to receive the goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold, even in the case of consumers, shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the freight forwarder, carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has instructed the freight forwarder, carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the performance and if the seller has not previously designated such person or institution to the customer.
5.4 The seller reserves the right to terminate the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply if the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has entered into a concrete hedging transaction with the Supplier with due diligence. The seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. If the goods are unavailable or only partially available, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.
5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
5.6 Vouchers are given to the customer as follows :

6) Retention of title
6.1 In the case of consumers, the Seller reserves the right of ownership of the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price due.
6.2 In the case of entrepreneurs, the Seller reserves the right of ownership of the delivered goods until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.
6.3 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, he is entitled to resell the reserved goods in the course of his normal business activities. The purchaser assigns in advance to the seller all claims against third parties arising from this in the amount of the respective invoice value (including VAT). This assignment applies irrespective of whether the reserved goods are resold without or after processing. The customer remains entitled to collect the claims even after the assignment. The Seller's authority to collect the claims himself shall remain unaffected. However, the seller will not collect the claims as long as the customer fulfils his payment obligations towards the seller, is not in default of payment and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been made.
7) Liability for defects (guarantee)
If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply. It is possible to deviate from this:
7.1 For contractors
- an insignificant defect does not in principle justify a claim for defects;
- the seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
- the limitation period for defects in new goods is one year from the passing of risk;
- in the case of second-hand goods, claims and claims for defects are generally excluded;
- the limitation period shall not recommence if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.
7.2 For consumers, the limitation period for claims for defects in the case of second-hand goods is one year from delivery of the goods to the customer, with the restriction of the following clause.
7.3 The aforementioned limitations of liability and reduction of the limitation period shall not apply to
- for objects which have not been used for a building in accordance with their usual use and which have caused its defectiveness,
- for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, which are based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty by the seller or an intentional or negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of the seller,
- for other damages which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the seller or an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of the user, and
- if the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.
7.4 In addition, the statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 478 BGB remain unaffected for entrepreneurs.
7.5 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB (German Commercial Code), he is subject to the commercial obligation to examine the goods and report defects in accordance with § 377 HGB. If the customer omits the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to be approved.
7.6 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is entitled to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller accordingly. If the customer does not do so, this does not affect his statutory or contractual rights in respect of defects.
8) Liability

8.1 The Seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason.

- on the basis of a promise of guarantee, unless otherwise specified,
- due to mandatory liability, such as under the Product Liability Act.
8.2 If the Seller negligently breaches an essential contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract, unless unlimited liability is assumed in accordance with the above clause.
