§ 8 Delivery/transport damages

(1) Delivery is made to the delivery address you provided within the Federal Republic of Germany or the Republic of Austria.

(3) KLAPP Cosmetics GmbH can also refuse to perform in so far as performance would entail expenses, which in view of the content of the purchase contract and the principles of good faith would be disproportionate to your interest in the performance of the purchase contract. Any amounts paid will be immediately refunded by us.

(4) Where goods are delivered with obvious transport damages, please report such defects immediately to the delivery agent and contact us as soon as possible.

(5) Failure to make a complaint or contact does not affect your legal warranty rights in any way. However, taking action will help us assert our own claims with the carrier or regarding the transport insurance.

For the duration of the retention of title, you may not resell the goods nor make use of them; in particular, by contract you may not allow third parties to use the goods.

§ 10 Rights regarding defects

(1) A cosmetic product defective at the time of delivery (warranty claim) is replaced by KLAPP Cosmetics GmbH at our cost by delivery of a product without defects. We would like to draw attention to the fact that no warranty claim exists if the product was in the agreed condition at the time of the transfer of risks. A warranty claim does especially not exist in case of:

a) Damages resulting from misuse or abuse;

b) Damages resulting from the products being exposed by you to harmful external influences (particularly extreme temperatures, moisture or similar).

(2) Where a redelivery requested by you entails expenditures, which in view of the content of the contract and the principles of good faith are disproportionate to your interest in the performance – with the value of the item purchased in faultless condition and the relevance of the defect being especially taken into account – your warranty claim shall be limited to the refund of the purchase price and shipping costs.

(3) In case of a redelivery, you undertake to send the defective/faulty product at our cost and by stating the order number to the return address specified by us. Return of the defective/faulty goods is mandatory for the redelivery of goods that are without any defects, or for refund of the purchase price together with the shipping costs. Non-compliance on your part with the duty to return shall be subject to the applicable provisions.

(4) The legal warranty offered by KLAPP Cosmetics GmbH expires two years after delivery of the goods. The warranty period starts upon receipt of the goods.

§ 11 Alternative dispute settlement

We endeavor to settle any differences in opinion arising from the contractual relationship between us by mutual agreement. Further, we are not obliged to take part in conciliation proceedings and regrettably we will not be able to offer you to participate in such proceedings.

§ 12 Liability

(1) In the event of slight negligence, KLAPP Cosmetics GmbH shall only be liable for breaches of fundamental contractual obligations and limited to the foreseeable damages. This limitation does not apply to negligence causing death or personal injury. We shall not be liable for other slightly negligent damages caused through defects in the purchased item.

(2) Irrespective of fault on the part of KLAPP Cosmetics GmbH, a liability on our part due to fraudulent concealment or resulting from the assumption of a warranty shall remain unaffected.

(3) KLAPP Cosmetics GmbH shall also be liable for the impossibility of a delivery occurring accidentally during its default, unless where the damage would also have occurred if the delivery had been made in time.

§ 13 Applicable Law

This shall not affect the mandatory provisions of the State in which you usually reside.

§ 14 Place of jurisdiction

If, contrary to the details you provided, you do not reside in the Federal Republic of Germany, or moved your residence abroad after conclusion of the contract, or where your place of residence is unknown at the time the lawsuit is launched, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes and in connection with the contractual relationship shall be Eschwege/Kassel in Germany.

§ 15 Severability clause, written form

(1) Where any of the preceding clauses are or become ineffective or void in whole or in part, this shall not affect the effectiveness of the remaining contract. The parties undertake to replace the ineffective or void provision by an effective provision, which best serves the intended economical purpose. The same applies to any loopholes.
