I. General,
Customers, Language

made on the basis of any orders by our customers (each, a „Customer“) through
our online shop www. wunderlich.de (the „Online Shop“) our app and our
catalogue shall be governed by these general terms and conditions of sale (the
„General Terms and Conditions“).
(2) Our product offerings are directed to both Consumers and
Business Customers (as defined below), but in each case only to end users. For
the purpose of these General Terms and Conditions, (a) a „Consumer“ is any
individual entering into the contract for a purpose not related to his or her
business, trade or self-employed professional activity (Sec. 13 of the German
Civil Code), and (b) a „Business Customer“ is an individual, company or
partnership vested with legal capacity who enters into the relevant contract in
the conduct of its business or its self-employed professional activity (Sec. 14
(1) of the German Civil Code).
(3) Standard business conditions of the Customer do not
apply, regardless of whether or not we expressly object to them in a particular
case.
(4) Our contracts with the Customer shall be made in the
language of the respective country depending on which website ore app the
Customer makes the relevant purchase. Therefore, if the order is made on our
English website ore app, exclusively the English version of these General Terms
and Conditions shall be relevant.
(5) We reserve the right for technical and price changes, product revisions as well as errors.
II. Conclusion of
Contract
(1) Our offerings in the Online Shop and catalogue are
non-binding.
(2) By placing an order, the Customer makes a binding offer
to purchase the relevant product. The offer will remain open for acceptance by
us for a period ending at the end of the third business day following the day
of the offer.
(3) Without undue delay upon receipt of the order, we will
send to the Customer by e-mail a confirmation of receipt, which shall not
constitute an acceptance of the order. The order shall be deemed to be accepted
by us either upon subsequent (e-mail) acceptance of the order or by dispatching
the product. The sales contract with the Customer shall not become effective
until our acceptance.
(4) Any Customer who is a Consumer shall be entitled to revoke the offer and return the product in accordance with the cancellation and return policy as separately made available to the Customer on our website during the ordering process.

shipping costs. Any customs duties and similar public charges shall be borne by
the Customer.
(2) Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, we shall deliver
within Germany exclusively by PayPal, Amazon Pay, credit cardor prepayment.
Optionally, the goods can also be picked up against cash payment at our
business premises in Grafschaft-Ringen. Worldwide we deliver against PayPal,
Amazon Pay, credit card or advance payment.
(3) In the event that we have agreed to payment after
delivery, our invoices shall be due and payable by the Customer within 7
business days upon receipt of the product and the invoice.

IV. Dispatch of the
Product
(1) Any date of dispatch communicated by us shall be only
approximate and may therefore be exceeded by up to two business days, except if
a fixed date of dispatch has been agreed upon.
(2) Any time period relevant to determine the date of
dispatch pursuant to this Section 4 (as specified by us when the order is made
or as otherwise agreed upon) shall begin (a) if advance payment has been
agreed, upon receipt by us of the full purchase price (including VAT and shipping
costs) or (b) if payment after delivery has been agreed, upon the conclusion of
the sales contract.
(3) The date of dispatch shall be such day on which the
product is handed over by us to the carrier.
(4) Regardless of whether any product is indicated on the
order form as "in stock", we may sell such product at any time,
provided that
a) the order form has included a notice as to the limited
availability of the product or
b) an advance payment has been agreed upon and this payment amount is not received by us within a period of five business days upon our acceptance of the order.
In such cases, we shall only be obligated to dispatch the
product within the time period agreed upon or indicated by us as long as stock
lasts.
(5) In the event that no date of dispatch has been specified
or otherwise agreed upon or we are no longer required to deliver within any
agreed time period pursuant to subsection 4, we shall be required to dispatch
the product within a period of three weeks after the Relevant Date pursuant to
subsection 1.
(6) In the event that our supplier fails to deliver in a
timely manner a product that has been indicated on the order form as "not
in stock" or has been sold off in accordance with subsection 4 above, any
applicable delivery period pursuant to this Section 4 shall be deemed to be
extended until delivery is made by our supplier plus an additional period of
three business days, but in no event by a period of more than three weeks, provided
that our supplier’s failure to timely supply the products is not a result of
our fault or negligence and that we have without undue delay ordered the
relevant products from the supplier.

If the product is no longer available from our suppliers within the foreseeable future, we shall be entitled to terminate the sales contract. In case of such termination, we shall without undue delay reimburse the Customer any payments which the Customer has made to us in respect of the order. The legal rights of the Customer resulting from late delivery shall not be affected by this provision; provided, however, that the Customer may claim damages only subject to the provisions of Section IX of these General Terms and Conditions.

the product to the carrier and shall not be responsible for any delays caused
by the carrier. Any transit times specified by us shall therefore only be
non-binding estimates.

between any such remedies at our discretion, provided that such choice shall be
made by us by written notice (in „text form“, including by telefax or by
e-mail) within a period of three business days following receipt of the
Customer’s notice of the defect. We may refuse to remedy a defective product in
the manner requested by the Customer if such remedy would result in
unreasonable costs.

original, series standard setup. This excludes optional original fittings from
the vehicle manufacturer and accessories from third party suppliers. If the
products offered cannot be combined with technically modified vehicles, this
shall not constitute a material defect in the product.

Section VII (1) fails or cannot reasonably be expected from the Customer or we
refuse to remedy the defect, the Customer shall be entitled to terminate the
sales contract, reduce the purchase price or claim damages or frustrated expenses,

claims of the Customer shall be subject to the provisions contained in Sec. IX
