1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) of Philipp Umscheid, trading as “Anhedna” (hereinafter “Seller”), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or business entity (hereinafter “Customer”) concludes with the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise stipulated.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their self-employed professional activity.
1.4 A business entity within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership that acts in the course of its commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.
2) Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller’s online store do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.
2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller’s online store. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained 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 e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in this respect
- or by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive
- or by requesting payment from the customer after the order has been placed.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives are available, the contract is concluded when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the Customer and ends with the expiration 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 a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.
2.4 When selecting a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: “PayPal”), subject to the PayPal terms of use, which can be viewed 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, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the Customer chooses a payment method offered by PayPal during the online ordering process, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer’s offer at the time the Customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.5 The Seller stores the text of the contract after the contract is concluded and sends the Customer the contract text in text form (e.g., email, fax, or letter) after the Customer has submitted their order. The Seller does not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller’s online shop before submitting their order, the order data will be archived on the Seller’s website and can be accessed by the Customer free of charge using their password-protected user account.
2.6 Before bindingly submitting the order using the Seller’s online order form, the Customer can identify and correct input errors by carefully 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 screen display. The Customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.7 Different languages are available for the conclusion of the contract. The specific language selection is displayed in the online shop.
2.8 Order processing and communication usually take place via email and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the email address provided by them for order processing is correct, so that they can receive emails sent by the Seller to this address. In particular, the Customer must ensure that, when using spam filters, all emails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller to process the order can be delivered.
3) Right of Withdrawal
3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller’s cancellation policy.
4) Prices and Payment Conditions
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller’s product description, the prices quoted are total prices. Right now they don´t include value-added tax, because I haven´t exceded the tax-free profit yet. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be separately stated 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, which the Seller is not responsible for and which are to be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money 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 transfer of funds even if the delivery does not take place in a country outside the European Union and the Customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
4.3 The payment options available to the Customer will be communicated in the Seller’s online shop.
4.4 If payment is agreed by prepayment via bank transfer, payment is due immediately after the conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.5 When selecting a payment method offered by “Shopify Payments,” the payment processing is carried out 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. Stripe may use other payment services to process payments, for which special payment conditions may apply and to which the Customer may be separately informed.

5) Delivery and Shipping Conditions

5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons that the Customer is responsible for, the Customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs of the initial dispatch if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. The provisions of the Seller’s cancellation policy apply to the return costs if the right of withdrawal is effectively exercised by the Customer.
5.3 If the Customer acts as a business entity, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the carrier, the freight forwarder, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment.

However, deviating from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods also passes to the Customer as a consumer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the carrier, the freight forwarder, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has commissioned the carrier, the freight forwarder, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the Seller has not previously named this person or institution to the Customer.
5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This only applies if the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and has concluded a concrete covering transaction with due diligence.

In case of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer will be informed immediately, and the consideration will be refunded promptly.
