1. Scope, definition of terms

(1) The business relationship between the WALA and the Customer shall be governed exclusively by the following General Terms and Conditions, as amended at the time of the purchase order. The Dr. Hauschka Customer Account Terms and Conditionshttps://www.drhauschka.de/en/customer-account-terms-and-conditions/ apply to the free Dr. Hauschka customer account in the version valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract. The WALA Conditions of Participation, which can also be found on Dr. Hauschka's website (www.drhauschka.de/teilnahmebedingungen), apply additionally for the booking of WALA events. In the event of deviations from these general terms and conditions, the WALA Conditions of Participation take precedence over the general terms and conditions when booking events.

(2) The purchaser’s conflicting terms and conditions shall not be recognised unless the WALA expressly consents to their validity in writing.

(3) The Customer is a consumer, unless the purpose of the deliveries and services ordered can predominantly be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity. On the other hand, each natural person or legal entity or partnership with legal capacity that exercises their commercial or independent professional activity upon the conclusion of the Contract is a entrepreneur.

 

2. Conclusion of the Contract

(1) The Customer may select cosmetic products from the WALA´s Dr. Hauschka product range and place these in a “shopping cart” (up to a maximum of 5 items per reference) using the “Add to shopping cart” button. Using the “Submit order and complete payment” button the Customer submits a binding request to purchase the goods located in the shopping cart. Before sending the purchase order, the Customer may inspect and change the data at any time. By clicking "Buy now", the customer confirms acceptance of our general terms and conditions and our cancellation policy.

(2) The WALA thereupon sends the Customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail, in which the Customer’s purchase order is stated once again and which the Customer can print out using the “Print” function. The automatic confirmation of receipt merely documents that the Customer’s purchase order has been received by the WALA and does not constitute an acceptance of the request. The Contract is concluded only through the submission of the declaration of acceptance by the WALA, which is sent by a separate e-mail (shipping confirmation )The WALA will send the text of the Contract (consisting of the purchase order, the TERMS and shipping confirmation) to the Customer on a permanent data carrier (e-mail or paper printout) in this e-mail or in a separate e-mail or upon delivery of the goods (confirmation of the Contract). The text of the Contract shall be stored in compliance with data protection requirements.

(3) The language in which the Contract is concluded shall be German or English.

 

3. Delivery, availability of the goods

(1) Delivery times indicated by the WALA shall be calculated from the time of our shipping confirmation, provided the purchase price has been paid beforehand. The delivery time shall be 3 working days unless a different or no delivery time for the respective goods is indicated in our online shop.

(2) If the product selected by the Customer is not available at the time of the Customer’s purchase order, the WALA shall notify the Customer accordingly in the order confirmation without undue delay. If the product is not deliverable, the WALA will not send a declaration of acceptance. A Contract shall not be concluded in this case. By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept our terms and conditions as well as our stipulations regarding cancellation.

(3) If the product specified by the customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, WALA shall also inform the customer of this immediately in the order confirmation.

(4) The following delivery restrictions shall apply: the WALA shall deliver only to customers who have their customary residence (billing address) in the European economic area and can indicate a delivery address in Germany. Quantities shall be restricted to those commonly used in the average household (a maximum of 5 items per reference).

 

4. Retention of ownership

Until the complete payment has been made, the delivered goods shall remain the WALA’s property.

(2) The payment of the purchase price is due immediately upon the conclusion of the Contract. If the due date of the payment is determined by the calendar, the Customer will already be in default by missing the due date. In this case, the Customer must pay the WALA a default interest for the year in the amount of 5 per cent above the basic interest rate.

(3) The Customer’s obligation to pay default interest shall not exclude the assertion of further default damage by the WALA.

 

7. Warranty for material defects, guarantee

Material contractual obligations are such whose fulfilment is necessary for the achievement of the goal of the Contract.

(2) In the event of the infringement of material contractual obligations, the WALA shall be liable only for the foreseeable damage typically occurring under the Contract if this was caused through ordinary negligence, unless this concerns claims for damages by the Customer based on injury to life, limb or health.

(3) The restrictions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall also apply for the benefit of the WALA’s legal representatives and vicarious agents if claims are asserted directly against these.

(4) The limitations on liability resulting from paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the WALA has maliciously concealed the defect or assumed a guarantee for the property of the item. The same shall apply if the WALA and the Customer have concluded an agreement about the property of the item. The regulations of the German Product Liability Act [Produkthaftungsgesetz] shall remain unaffected.
