and you, as our customer. Insofar as reference to the customer is made in the masculine form, the feminine is also included. This also applies to other personal designations. These T&C apply to all contracts regardless of whether you are a consumer or an entrepreneur. Pursuant to Section 13 of the German Civil Code, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a transaction for purposes which are mainly outside his trade, business, craft or profession. Pursuant to Section 14 of the German Civil Code, an entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a legal partnership who/that, on conclusion of a legal transaction, does so in their commercial or professional capacity.
(2) All contracts concluded between us through our online store are based on these T&C, unless individual agreements are drawn up. Individual agreements take precedence over our T&C.
(3) The version of the T&C which is valid in each case at the conclusion of the contract shall be the definitive version.
(4) Differing conditions of the customer are not recognised. This is true even if we do not expressly object to the inclusion of such conditions.
§2 Conclusion of contract
(1) The adjustment of the merchandise on offer or the marketing of products in our online shop do not represent a binding offer to enter into a sales contract.
(2) The sales contract between us is concluded as follows:
You can select products from the range offered in our online store and add these to the so-called shopping cart by pushing the "add to cart" button. Depending on the payment method, you establish a legally binding order of the goods in the basket in the following ways:
- If you pay by Klarna instant transfer, click on the button "order, obliged to pay"
- For a payment by bank transfer, click on the button "buy"
- If you pay by PayPal, click on the button "pay with PayPal
Until submitting your order you can change and look at the data at any time.
(3) Access to your order made using our online store is immediately confirmed by email. In such an email there is still no binding acceptance of the order, unless the acceptance is declared at the same time as the confirmation of receipt of the order.
(4) A purchase contract is only concluded when we accept your order with a letter of acceptance or delivery of the ordered products.
(5) The contract is concluded exclusively in German.
§ 3 Contract Text/Order Processing
(1) We do not save the contract. Therefore, it cannot be retrieved from us once the ordering process is completed.
(2) After conclusion of the contract we will send the client an email that includes the order data, the information required by law and the T&C.
(3) The order processing and contact usually take place via email. The customer must ensure that the email address given by him for the order processing is correct, so that emails sent by us can be received and do not end up in the SPAM filters.
§ 4 Cancellation right
(1) If you are a consumer, you are entitled to a cancellation right in accordance with statutory provisions.
(2) The subsequent cancellation right is exclusively for the use of consumers in terms of § 13 of the German Civil Code:

Cancellation policy
Cancellation right
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without specifying any reasons for this.
The cancellation period comprises fourteen days from the day on which you or any third party that is not the carrier and had been appointed by you took possession of the goods.
To exercise your right of cancellation you must inform us
Königs Reitstiefel Handel und Vertrieb, 41812 Erkelenz, Phone +49 24319759568, E-Mail: info@koenigs-reitstiefel.de
by means of a declaration (sent e.g. by post, email or fax) that you wish to withdraw from this contract. You may use the attached withdrawal form template; however, this is not compulsory. In order to comply with the cancellation period, it is sufficient for you to send us notice that you are exercising your right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired.
Effects of the cancellation
If you withdraw from this contract, we will refund all payments we received from you, including shipment costs (except for additional costs arising if you chose a method of shipping different from the most cost-efficient standard delivery offered by us), without delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notice of withdrawal from this contract. The repayment will be made using the same payment method as used for the original transaction, unless explicitly agreed otherwise with you; under no circumstances will you be charged fees for this repayment. We may withhold the refund until the items have been returned to us or until you have provided evidence that you have shipped the goods, whichever is earlier.
You must immediately send back or hand over the goods to us, A. Königs GmbH, in any event no later than fourteen days from the date on which you notified us that you are withdrawing from this contract. The deadline will be deemed to have been observed if you send the items before the fourteen-day deadline has expired.
You will bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
You will only be liable for any potential reduction in value of the items if this reduction in value is due to handling on your part which was not necessary for testing the quality, characteristics, and functioning of the items.
- End of cancellation policy - exclusion or premature lapse of the cancellation right: The right does not apply to contracts - for the delivery of goods which are not prefabricated and the production of which is due to an individual choice or decision by the consumer, or which have been clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer. That cancellation right expires early for contracts - on the delivery of sealed goods which are not suitable to be returned for reasons of health or hygiene, if their seal was removed after delivery.

(3) For orders from customers residing abroad or if there are justified indications of a risk of default, we reserve the right to deliver only after receiving the purchase price together with shipping costs (advance reservation). If we make use of the advance reservation, we will inform you immediately. In this case, the delivery time begins with payment of the purchase price and the shipping costs.
(4) The delivery of the product is made to the delivery address given by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. Except in cases of payment using PayPal, where the delivery address provided by the customer to PayPal at the time of payment is applicable.
(5) The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration shall generally pass to to the customer or an authorised recipient upon handing over of the goods, if the customer is a consumer. Over and above this, the risk is also passed on if the customer is in default of acceptance.
If the customer is an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration in case of sales shipment passes on to the respective forwarder who will hand over the goods at our main office. If the customer is an entrepreneur, the place of delivery is our business address.

(5) If we fulfil your order according to § 5 para. 1 with partial deliveries, you incur the shipping costs for the first delivery. If the partial deliveries were made at your request, we calculate the shipping for each partial delivery.
