2. Entry into contract and separate information for consumers in the case of distance selling and contracts in electronic commerce

  1. The presentation and the advertising of goods in ZipWall’s online shop operated at zipwall.eu do not constitute any binding offer to enter into a purchase contract. A purchase contract comes into existence only through an order from the Customer as well as an acceptance declaration by ZipWall.
  2. ZipWall does not save the contract text; accordingly, this is not accessible via ZipWall to the Customer after entry into the contract. However, the Customer can print out the contract text during the order process, via the print function of the Customer’s browser, or save the contract text on a corresponding storage medium via the save function of the Customer’s browser.
  3. The Customer can select goods from the entire range of goods offered by ZipWall in the online shop and collect these via the button using the shopping basket symbol in a so-called trolley. Via the button “Continue to checkout”, the Customer opens the order form, and via the button “Send order”, the Customer places a binding order to purchase the goods which are in the shopping basket. Before sending the order, the Customer can change and view the data at any time. The order for purchase of the goods in the shopping basket can only be submitted and transmitted, however, if the Customer has accepted these GTC by clicking the checkbox “accept GTC” and accepted them as applying to its order.
  4. The Customer is bound by the order for the duration of two (2) weeks after placing the order; the right to which the Customer is possibly entitled pursuant to § 5 to rescind the order remains unaffected by this.After receipt of the order via the online shop, ZipWall sends the Customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by email, which gives an itemised list of the Customer’s order once more and which the Customer can print out via the “print” function of his or her browser. This automatic confirmation of receipt merely documents that the Customer’s order has been received by ZipWall and does not constitute acceptance of the order. The contract only comes into existence when ZipWall makes the acceptance declaration, which is sent with a separate email, entitled “order confirmation”.
  5. German, English and French are available to the Customer as contract languages when entering into the contract.
  6. ZipWall is not subject to any separate code of conduct.
  7. The Customer can express any complaints, warranty issues as well as other claims to the address given in the contact page zipwall.eu/contact/.
  8. The Customer can obtain information regarding delivery, performance as well as payment from the respective offer.

3. Availability of goods

  1. If at the time of the Customer’s order no units of the product selected by the Customer are available, then ZipWall will inform the Customer of this in the order confirmation without undue delay. If the product is permanently unavailable, ZipWall will refrain from issuing an order confirmation. In such case, no contract will come into existence.
  2. If the product designated by the Customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, ZipWall will inform the Customer of this in the order confirmation without undue delay. If the delay in delivery is more than two weeks, the Customer has the right to rescind the contract. In addition, in such case, ZipWall too is entitled to release itself from the contract.Any payments already made by the Customer will be refunded without undue delay by ZipWall, insofar as the parties do not agree in the individual case on another use of the amount paid.

4. Retention of title

  1. Until payment in full, the goods delivered remain ZipWall’s property. Processing, transformation, pledging, transfer by way of security or other disposal or encumbrance before transfer of ownership is not permissible without ZipWall’s express consent.
  2. After valid rescission of the contract, ZipWall is entitled at any time to demand the return of the goods delivered.

5. Rescission right

  1. Insofar as the Customer is a consumer, thus the purpose of the delivery and service ordered cannot be allocated to a commercial or freelance professional activity by the Customer, the Customer is entitled to a rescission right in accordance with the statutory provisions.
  2. If the Customer as consumer makes use of his or her rescission right pursuant to § 5 nr. 1, then the Customer is obliged to bear the usual costs of returning the goods.
  3. In addition, the following rules apply for the rescission right, which are reproduced here in detail, in the following
