1. Scope of Application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of hydesk.co, Brunsteiner & Carey GbR (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods which a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods displayed by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 GTC shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise expressly agreed.
1.3 ”Consumer” within the meaning of GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly neither be attributed to his commercial nor his self-employed professional activity.
1.4 “Entrepreneur” in the sense of GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.
2. Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online shop (https://www.hydesk.co) do not represent binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the Customer.
2.2 In the event of a contract being concluded, the contract is concluded with
hydesk.co
Brunsteiner & Carey GbR
Fürstenackerstrasse 5
81477 Munich
Email: hy@hydesk.co
2.3 The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the Customer.
2.4 The Customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated in the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contract offer for the goods in the shopping cart by clicking the button ["order with obligation to pay"] that completes the ordering process. However, the order can only be placed and transmitted if the customer has accepted these terms of contract by clicking the button ["Accept Terms and Conditions"] and the button ["Accept cancellation policy"] and have thereby included them in his order. Immediately after submitting the order, the customer receives an order confirmation from the Seller, which, however, does not yet constitute acceptance of the contract offer.
2.5 The Seller acknowledges orders without undue delay by sending an email to the Customer after the ordering process was successfully completed. The Seller may 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 email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
-
by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
-
by operating payment from the customer after placing his order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the dispatch of the offer by the Customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch 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.
2.6 If the payment method "Amazon Payments" is selected, payment shall be processed via the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F.

In this case the seller declares already now the acceptance of the offer of the Customer at the time in which the Customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button completing the order process.
2.7 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract is stored by the Seller after conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after sending the Customer's order. The Seller shall not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be retrieved by the Customer free of charge via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.
2.8 Before binding submission of the order via the online order form of the Seller, the Customer can recognize possible input errors by attentively reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better detection of input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. Within the framework of the electronic ordering process, the Customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until issuing the order and payment liabilities with the respective final click approval.
2.9 German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the purchase contract.
2.10 The order handling and establishment of contact take place as a rule by e-mail and automated order handling. The Customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that emails sent by the Seller can be received at this address.
