These terms and conditions of the Tennis-Point GmbH (named "seller" in the following), are valid for all contracts which the customer concludes with the seller concerning all products and/or services offerd by the seller in the online-shop. We hereby contradict the integration of customers'conditions unless an agreement has been reached to the contrary.

1.2.
Customers in the sense of point 1.1 are consumers as well as entrepreneurs. A consumer means every natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that is outside his/her trade, business or profession. In contrary, an entrepreneur means a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal personality who or which, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in exercise of his/her or its trade, business or profession. A partnership with legal personality is a partnership that has the capacity to acquire rights and to incur liabilities.

2. Conclusion of contract

2.1.
The product presentations in the seller's online shop do not present a binding offer of the seller but serve as the basis of a legally binding buying quotation of the customer.

2.2.
The customer is able to submit the quote by phone, in written form, by fax, by mail or via the integrated online order form in the online shop. If the customer orders via the order form, he/she places a legally binding buying quotation of the goods lying in the shopping cart after having entered his/her personal data and after having clicked on the button "Send order".

2.3.
Within 5 days the seller can accept this quotation by a written (letter) or electronic (fax, email) confirmation or by sending the goods. The seller can deny the order.

2.4.
Regularly, the order process as well as the contacting are done by email and by an automated order process. The customer has to ensure that the entered email address is correct so that he/she can receive emails which are sent by the seller. Especially by using SPAM filters, the customer has to ensure that he/she receives all emails which are sent to execute the buying process.

3. Returning costs by using the right of revocation

If a customer, who does not order from Germany, has a right of revocation, the regular costs of a return will arise by using the right of revocation. This is valid if the price of the returning goods does not exceed 40 euros. In case of a higher price it is valid if the customer has not paid the goods or has not done an instalment at the moment of the revocation unless the delivered goods do not correspond to the ordered ones. In all other cases, the seller bears the costs of the return.

4.Prices and term of payment

4.1.
The indicated prices are endprices, i.e. they contain all price components including the legal German VAT. If additional delivery costs arise, they will be indicated separately in the product presentation.

4.2.
The following payment methods are possible for deliveries within Germany (unless nothing else is mentioned in the product presentation):

4.5.
If cash in advance is chosen, the payment is immediately due after the conclusion of contract.

4.6.
If delivery on account is chosen, payment is due after having invoiced and sent the goods. In this case the purchase price has to be paid net within 10 (ten) days after having received the invoice unless nothing else is agreed. The seller is entitled to make a credit check if the customer chooses delivery on account. If the check is negative, the seller can deny the payment method.

4.7.
If payment by credit card is chosen, the customer's credit card account is debited after the completion of the order.

4.8.

5.2.
If a shipment to the customer is not possible, the ordered transport company will send the goods back to the seller. In this case the customer has to bear the costs. This is not valid if the customer is temporary prevented for the acceptance of the goods unless the seller has informed the customer early enough about the delivery date or the customer makes use of his/her right of revocation.

5.3.
Generally, at the moment when the customer receives the goods, the risk of accidental destruction or accidental deterioration of the purchased products passes to the customer or to the person authorised to take delivery.

• The statute of limitation for new products is one year after the passing of risk.
• For used goods the rights and claims for defects are generally excluded.
• The statute of limitation does not begin again for replacements in the context of liability for defects.
