1) Scope

1.1 These general terms and conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Natalie Streck, acting under "Unicate" (hereinafter "seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that 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 conditions is hereby contradicted, unless otherwise agreed. 1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these terms and conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly neither be attributed to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these terms and conditions is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of the contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online shop of the seller do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by the customer. 2.2 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 that concludes the ordering process. 2.3 The seller can 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 customer's receipt of the order confirmation is decisive, or - by he delivers the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or - by asking the customer to pay after submitting his order. If there are several of the aforementioned alternatives, the contract is concluded at the time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer, with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent. 2.4 If you choose one of the payment methods offered by PayPal, payment will be processed by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua / useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the conditions for payments without a PayPal account, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax- full. If the customer pays using a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the point in time at which the customer clicks the button to complete the ordering process. 2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract will be saved by the seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after his order has been sent. Any further provision of the contract text by the seller does not take place. 2.6 Before the binding submission of the order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the representation on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process. 2.7 The German and English languages ​​are available for the conclusion of the contract. 2.8 Order processing and contact are usually carried out by email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address given by him to process the order is correct, so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered. 

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers have a fundamental right of withdrawal. 3.2 More detailed information on the right of cancellation can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.

4) Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices given are total prices. Sales tax is not shown because the seller is a small business owner within the meaning of the UStG. Any additional delivery and shipping costs that may arise are specified separately in the respective product description. 4.2 In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for money transfer by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also arise in relation to the money transfer if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union. 4.3 The payment option (s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. 4.4 If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed a later due date. 4.5 If you choose one of the payment methods offered by the "Shopify Payments" payment service, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe"). The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments are communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. To process payments, Stripe can use other payment services, for which special terms of payment may apply, to which the customer may be referred to separately. Further information on "Shopify Payments" is available on the Internet at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

 5.1 The delivery of goods takes place on the dispatch route to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive. 5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller. This does not apply with regard to the shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. For the return costs, if the customer exercises his right of revocation, the provisions made in the seller's instructions on revocation apply. 5.3 Collection by the customer is not possible for logistical reasons.

6) Retention of title If the seller makes an advance payment, he reserves title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

7) Liability for defects (warranty) 7.1 If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply. 7.2 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is asked to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply, this has no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) Applicable law The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to all legal relationships between the parties, excluding the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.

9) Alternative dispute resolution 9.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet under the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr This platform serves as a point of contact for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchases - or service contracts to which a consumer is a party. 9.2 The seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute settlement procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
