The delivery takes place at the shipping costs shown in each individual case. If the customer is a consumer, we always bear the shipping risk, regardless of the shipping method.

Notes on delivery by courier:

Delivery is by truck and "free curb", i.e. to the public curb closest to the delivery address, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Please note that delivery of the goods to the delivery address “free curb” cannot be carried out in the following cases due to the lack of truck access by the forwarding agent:

- The delivery address is on a street or can only be reached via a street that is designated as a restricted traffic area / “playing street” dedicated, and/ or
- The delivery address is on a street or can only be reached via a street where vehicles with a maximum permissible weight of 40 tons are not allowed to enter, and/or
- The delivery address is on a street or can only be reached via a street narrower than 3.25 meters or at a point to be passed during delivery at the time of delivery by obstacles such as parked vehicles or a construction site is restricted to a passage width of less than 3.25 meters, and/or
- The delivery address is in a dead end.

If one of the special features mentioned applies to the desired delivery address or if you are unsure about this, please contact our customer service by phone or email before placing an order to clarify whether or by which date Place then a delivery can take place.

Please also note that it is necessary for you to be personally present at the delivery address when the goods are delivered by the forwarding agent.

On the one hand, because you have to confirm the delivery of the goods in writing. On the other hand, the unloading of the goods requires your help in such a way that you support the employee of the forwarding agency with the unloading of the goods from the truck to the curb by physical cooperation. You must therefore be physically able to lift a weight of up to 30 kilograms.

Finally, it should be noted that no specific desired time for delivery can be agreed. The forwarding agent will coordinate with you a delivery on a desired day from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) in a time window from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Your presence at the delivery address is required throughout the time slot.

§ 9 Warranty

1. The statutory warranty period for the buyer, if he is a consumer, is basically 2 years from the delivery of the purchased item. For tradespeople and companies, the warranty period is 1 year from delivery of the purchased item.

2. A consumer within the meaning of the German Civil Code is any natural person who concludes a transaction for a purpose that is neither part of their commercial nor their independent professional activity can be. An entrepreneur, on the other hand, is any legal or natural person who, when concluding a transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

3. A warranty case always exists if the purchased item has a defect. This is to be assumed if the item does not have the agreed quality when the risk passes to the customer. Unless a special quality agreement has been made, an item is defective if it is not suitable for the use stipulated in the contract or if it is not suitable for the normal use of such items or it lacks the quality which is usual in things of the same kind and which the buyer can expect according to the kind of thing.

4. For sales contracts between entrepreneurs and consumers about movable things (so-called “consumer goods purchase”) only applies within the first 12 months from the handover of the purchased item an assumption that an occurring defect already existed when the purchased item was handed over to the customer and thus a warranty case exists. At the end of 12 months, the buyer must prove that the defect that was discovered late already existed when the item was handed over to him.
