General terms and conditions of business
Lambda Watches company
Owner: Nico Smekal
​Neunkirchen-Seelscheid, October 1st, 2023
​
§1 Scope and provider
​
These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all orders placed by consumers (§ 13 BGB) via the online shop www.Lambda-Watches.de (hereinafter Lambda-Watches) or by email or when purchasing directly on site.
A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity. Consumers are hereinafter also referred to as buyers or customers.
​
§2 Conclusion of contract
​
The product representations in the online shop are used to submit a purchase offer. Our products are sold for private use only. The buyer must be at least 18 years old to be able to order goods from Lambda-Watches. If in doubt, the buyer must prove his age.
​
The presentation of the products in the online shop does not represent a legally binding offer, but rather a non-binding online catalog.
You can submit a binding purchase offer (order) via the online shopping cart system on our website. To do this, first place the products you want to buy in the virtual shopping cart using the “Add to cart” button. You can use the shopping cart symbol and the “Complete order” button to access your “shopping cart” and then proceed to order processing. Alternatively, you can directly enter the order processing for the respective product using the “Order now” button in the product view. The ordering process takes place in two stages. In the first step, enter your contract and delivery details. In the second step you will be taken to the final order overview, where all contract data, the essential product features and the costs incurred are broken down in detail. ​
Before sending the order, you have the opportunity to check all the information again and to change it using the corresponding countersigned buttons (e.g. “Edit order”) or to cancel the purchase by closing the browser window. By submitting your order using the “Order with payment” button, you are making a binding offer to us.
Our acceptance of the offer (and thus the conclusion of the contract) takes place automatically upon receipt of the order and will be confirmed to you by email after ordering. In addition to the contract data, this contract confirmation also contains these general terms and conditions including the cancellation policy contained herein.
The contract language is German. The contract text will be saved by us after the contract has been concluded and cannot be accessed by us. However, you will receive all details of your order in an email order confirmation after you have submitted your order. Registered users can see all of their own orders after logging in.
For stock goods:
Confirmation of receipt of your order (order confirmation) takes place together with acceptance of the order immediately after sending by automated email to the email address you provided. Alternatively, if you order by phone/e-mail with an order confirmation including delivery time, list of products ordered, shipping costs, total amount and payment options.
​
The purchase contract is concluded with this order confirmation.
​​​This includes a sample cancellation and, in the appendix, these general terms and conditions including cancellation instructions and data protection declaration.
​
§3 Prices
​
The prices stated on the product pages and in public forums are without value added tax (VAT). As a small business owner within the meaning of Section 19 Paragraph 1 UStG, sales tax is not charged.
If there is a right of withdrawal and this is used, the customer bears the costs of the return. ​
§4 Payment, delivery times and shipping costs
Payment terms
The customer only has the following payment options: advance transfer, direct debit, payment service provider (PayPal), cash upon collection, credit card. No other payment methods are offered and will be rejected.
The invoice amount must be transferred in advance to the account specified there after receipt of the invoice, which contains all the information for the transfer and is sent by email. The invoice amount must be transferred to the account specified there after receipt of the invoice, which contains all the information for the transfer and is sent with the delivery. The invoice amount is collected by the provider from the customer's specified account using direct debit based on the customer's direct debit authorization.
When using a payment service provider, this enables the provider and customer to process payments between each other. The payment service provider forwards the customer's payment to the provider. Further information can be found on the website of the respective payment service provider.
The invoice amount can also be paid in cash at the provider's business premises during opening hours, less the shipping costs taken into account.
When paying by credit card, the customer must be the cardholder. The credit card will be charged after the goods have been dispatched.
The customer is obliged to pay or transfer the stated amount to the account specified on the invoice within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. Payment is due from the invoice date without deductions. After the payment deadline, which is therefore determined by the calendar, the customer is in default even without a reminder.
The customer's right of retention that is not based on the same contractual relationship is excluded. Offsetting against customer claims is excluded unless they are undisputed or legally established.
delivery terms
The goods will be dispatched immediately after confirmed receipt of payment. Shipping takes place on average after 4 working days at the latest. The provider undertakes to deliver on the 6th working day after receipt of the order. The standard delivery time is 3 days unless otherwise stated in the item description.
If the provider is not responsible for a permanent obstacle to delivery, in particular force majeure or non-delivery by its own supplier, even though a corresponding hedging transaction was carried out in a timely manner, the provider has the right to withdraw from a contract with the customer. The customer will be informed immediately and any services received, in particular payments, will be refunded.
​
§ 5 Retention of title
The goods remain our property until full payment has been made. Before ownership is transferred, pledging, transfer as security, processing or redesigning without our consent is not permitted.
​
§6 Cancellation policy
Consumers have the following right of withdrawal.
​
Right of withdrawal

​
In order to meet the cancellation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of your exercise of the right of cancellation before the cancellation period expires. You can use this sample cancellation form or another clear declaration and send it to us by email.

§7 Transport damage
If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please report such errors immediately to the delivery person and contact us as quickly as possible.

Examples of product defects are:
- Clock hands stop despite good battery
- Tearing or breakage of the leather strap
​
The warranty does not cover:
- Scratches on the watch
- Damage to the watch caused by opening the watch case or not handling it carefully
- Any damage caused by actions contrary to the safety instructions
​
§9 Final provisions
If any provision of these General Terms and Conditions is wholly or partially ineffective, the rest of the contract remains valid. The relevant statutory provisions apply in place of the invalid provision. The effectiveness of the remaining provisions or parts of such provisions remain unaffected.
