General Terms and Conditions
Section 1 Scope and terms and conditions
(1) Exclusively the following General Terms and Conditions in the version in place at the time of order will apply to all business relationships constituted by use of the Wortmann Fashion Retail online shop. Deviating terms will not be recognised, unless their applicability was explicitly confirmed in writing. Upon conclusion of an order, the contractual relationship is constituted between Wortmann Fashion Retail GmbH & Co. KG, Klingenbergstr. 1–3, D-32758 Detmold ("Wortmann Fashion Retail") and the ordering party ("Customer").
(2) The contractual language is English.
(3) The range of products offered in our online store is aimed exclusively at customers who are at least 18 years old.
Section 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) Customers are invited to visit the online shop to order the available products on the Internet, whereby the minimum value per order is 25,00€. The product presentation in the online shop constitutes merely a non-binding invitation to the Customer to order a given product.
(2) The Customer is entitled to select products from the available range provided by Wortmann Fashion Retail, and to mark them for purchase using the button "Add to the Shopping Cart". The order process continues if the Customer then clicks on the button "Proceed to checkout", and is completed using the button "Buy". By clicking on the button "Buy", the Customer submits a binding order to purchase the products listed in the order overview. The Customer is entitled to review and amend the data at any time before placing the order. The order can only be placed if the Customer clicks to accept the Privacy Policy and these General Terms and Conditions, which will then become integral elements of the contract.
(3) Wortmann Fashion Retail sends the Customer an automatic order confirmation by e-mail, reiterating the Customer's order. Customers can use the "Print" feature to print out a copy of this confirmation. The automatic order confirmation merely documents that Wortmann Fashion Retail has received the Customer's order. It does not constitute an acceptance of the order. The contract only comes into force by an acceptance of the order by Wortmann Fashion Retail that is sent either in a separate e-mail or that takes place by notification of shipping (shipping confirmation), i.e. by delivery of the products.
(4) Among other reasons, Wortmann Fashion Retail is entitled to reject execution of an order and hence the conclusion of a purchase contract if previous orders have not yet been settled in full, and in particular if the Customer is in default of payment. Alternatively, Wortmann Fashion Retail is entitled to postpone execution of the order and hence fulfilment of the obligations set forth in the new purchase contract until complete satisfaction of the previous order has taken place. Wortmann Fashion Retail will notify the Customer by separate cover in this case.
(5) The contract is concluded in the english language.
Section 3 Availability of the products and delivery
(1) The availability of a product may vary depending on the requirements of the Customer (size, colour, etc.); availability is noted for each product. Unavailable products cannot be ordered. Nevertheless, the Customer is entitled to place his/her name on the waiting list. Wortmann Fashion Retail will notify the Customer in the event that the availability status changes retrospectively, and in these cases may decline to accept the order.
(2) Delivery and billing takes place in the name and on the account of Wortmann Fashion Retail GmbH & Co. KG, Klingenbergstr. 1–3, D-32758 Detmold.
(3) Depending on the shipping method selected, the delivery time for available products will generally be no more than one week, calculated from receipt of payment for prepaid orders. Wortmann Fashion Retail is entitled to make partial deliveries.
(4) Wortmann Fashion Retail will notify the Customer immediately of any hindrance to delivery in the event of force majeure or similar incidents such as strike, lock-out, scarcity of resources as well as transport bottlenecks and operational disruptions that are not the fault of Wortmann Fashion Retail, for instance caused by fire, water or machine damage. The obligation to deliver the ordered products is suspended for the duration of these performance hindrances; Wortmann Fashion Retail will inform the Customer of these performance hindrances and their rectification. The Customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract in the event that this kind of performance hindrance persists for a period lasting more than four weeks. There shall be no other claims against Wortmann Fashion Retail, in particular claims to indemnification.
(5) The following restrictions on delivery apply: Wortmann Fashion Retail only ships to Customers whose common place of residence (invoice address) is in one of the following countries, and who have specified a shipping address in the same country: Estonia.
Section 4 Prices and shipping costs
(1) All prices stated in the online shop include the statutory rate of value added tax. The minimum order value per order is 25,00€. The actual product price is authoritative in this regard.
(2) Deliveries are made exclusively in Estonia.
(3) Shipping takes place using DHL.
(4) The Customer is required to pay a share of the shipping costs for each order, which is stated in the order overview before placing the order. The amount depends on the selected shipping method. The number of ordered products is irrelevant to the calculation of shipping costs.
(5) Shipping costs are charged on one occasion only in the event that technical or logistical reasons necessitate shipping in several partial consignments.
Section 5 Terms of payment
(1) Customers can make payment by PayPal, Apple Pay or credit card.
(2) The purchase price is payable together with the order.
Section 6 Right to set-off and retention
(1) You are only entitled to offset a claim if your counterclaim has been legally established, or if it is not disputed by us or is recognised by us, or if it is reciprocally closely related to our claim.
(2) You may only exercise a right of retention, insofar as your counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
Section 7 Warranty for material deficiencies
(1) Wortmann Fashion Retail is liable for material deficiencies according to the terms set forth under law. The warranty period for products delivered to companies shall be twelve months from delivery.
(2) The Customer is required to report without delay any obvious material and manufacturing defects in delivered products as well as transport damage, insofar as the Customer is not a consumer.
Section 8 Liability
(1) Wortmann Fashion Retail is fully liable for wilful intent and gross negligence; liability is otherwise limited or excluded according to the terms set forth in the following.
(2) The liability of Wortmann Fashion Retail is limited to damage that is typical of this kind of contract and that was foreseeable upon conclusion of the contract.
(3) Wortmann Fashion Retail shall only be liable for slight negligence inasmuch as it refers to the violation of an obligation whose adherence is of particular importance to the fulfilment of the contractual purpose (cardinal obligation). The limitation on liability set forth in the foregoing shall apply in these cases; liability for slight negligence is otherwise excluded.
(4) Liability for indirect damage or for follow-on damage, in particular for damage caused by interruptions in business operations and loss of profits, shall be excluded in all cases.
(5) The limitation on liability shall not apply to injuries caused to life, limb or health, or to claims based on the German Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG). This is without prejudice to liabilities arising from guarantees accepted by Wortmann Fashion Retail.
(6) These limitations on liability also apply for the benefit of our vicarious agents.
