1) Scope of application  

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of the company Top Sales GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") shall apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer (hereinafter referred to as "Client") and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services presented in the Seller's online store. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.  
1.2 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise agreed.  
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed primarily to their commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of contract  

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online store do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.  
2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online store. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.  
2.3 The seller can 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), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in this respect, or - by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive in this respect, or - by requesting payment from the customer after submission of the customer's order. If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 The Seller reserves the right to refuse an order or cancel the order if the order was generated by software, a machine, a crawler, a spider or other automated web programs or scipted behavior systems or by using third party services used to place the order on your behalf.
2.5 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment shall be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.  
2.6 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller after the contract is concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the customer's order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online store before sending his order, the order data is archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.
2.7 Before submitting a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can recognize possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means of better recognizing input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. Customers can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click on the button that completes the ordering process.
2.8 German and English are available for the conclusion of the contract. The specific language selection is displayed in the online store.
2.9 Order processing and contact are generally carried out by e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.
2.10 The customer agrees to receive invoices and credit notes exclusively in electronic form.

3) Right of withdrawal  

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.  
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's withdrawal policy.  

4) Prices and terms of payment  

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.  
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.  
4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online store.  
4.4 If a payment method offered via the "PayPal" payment service is selected, the payment shall be processed via PayPal, whereby PayPal may also use the services of third party payment service providers for this purpose. If the seller also offers payment methods via PayPal for which he makes advance payments to the customer (e.g. purchase on account or payment by installments), he assigns his payment claim to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the customer. Before accepting the seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal shall carry out a credit check using the transmitted customer data. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the selected payment method in the event of a negative check result. If the selected payment method is approved, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or at the agreed payment intervals. In this case, the customer can only pay PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. regarding goods, delivery time, shipment, returns, complaints, revocation declarations and shipments or credit notes, even in the event of assignment of claims.
4.5 If a payment method offered via the "mollie" payment service is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Mollie B.V., Keizersgracht 313, 1016 EE Amsterdam, Netherlands (hereinafter: "mollie"). The individual payment methods offered via mollie are communicated to the customer in the seller's online store. To process payments, mollie may use other payment services for which special payment terms may apply, to which the Customer may be informed separately. Further information on "mollie" is available on the Internet at https://www.mollie.com/en/.
4.6 If the payment method purchase on account is selected, the purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price must be paid to Klarna AB, Sveavägen 46, 11134 Stockholm, Sweden (www.klarna.de) within 14 (fourteen) days of the invoice date without deduction, unless otherwise agreed. The payment method purchase on account requires a successful credit check by Klarna AB. If the customer is allowed to pay by invoice after a credit check, the payment will be processed in cooperation with Klarna AB, to which the seller assigns his payment claim. In this case, the customer can only make payment with debt-discharging effect to Klarna AB. In all other respects, the General Terms and Conditions of Klarna AB, which the customer can call up during the ordering process, shall apply. The seller reserves the right to offer the payment method purchase on account only up to a certain order volume and to reject this payment method if the specified order volume is exceeded. In this case, the seller will inform the customer of a corresponding payment restriction in the payment information in the online store.  
4.7 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Klarna" is selected, payment is processed via Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter "Klarna").

The delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive for the processing of the transaction.
5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal.

This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care.
