  1. Scope of the General Terms and Conditions

These General Terms and Conditions (herein referred to as “GTC”) are valid for all contractual agreements executed between bentocur GmbH and users of its online shop, i.e. customers, via transactions occurring through that online shop.

The customer accepts the GTC presented here and confirms agreement with them through the placing of an order. The contracting parties agree to the application of Austrian law. If the consumer has his domicile or long-standing residence in Austria or is employed in Austria, only the jurisdiction of the district court in which the domicile, long-standing residence or place of employment is located may be utilised for legal action against the customer; this does not apply to already existing legal disputes.

If you, as a consumer, have long-standing residence in the European Union, you are additionally entitled to protection under the obligatory regulations of the country in which you reside.

The presentation of products on the website does not constitute an offer in a legal sense. It is a prompt to the customer to submit an offer. The offer in the legal sense is made by the customer by placing the order. The confirmation of receipt of the order takes place together with the acceptance of the order immediately after the sending of the of the order via an automated e-mail. This e-mail confirmation marks to conclusion of the purchase contract.

On the following page, the customer is asked to log into the online shop if there is an existing account or to register if the customer does not already have an account. The customer then specifies the delivery destination and payment method and enters the information required for the execution of the payment. When choosing external payment services, for example PayPal, the customer is redirected to the external website of the respective payment service provider. Prior to the placement of the order, the respective information about order is summarized in an order overview. The customer is free to check all of the details in the order overview again and, if necessary, make corrections before sending the order to bentocur GmbH by clicking on the “Submit & Pay” button. By clicking on the button “Send & Pay”, the customer is submitting a binding purchase offer with regard to the goods selected during the ordering process.

After receipt of the order, bentocur GmbH will send a notification email to the e-mail address provided by the customer, in which the receipt of the order is confirmed and the content of the order is listed (hereafter referred to as “order confirmation”). If the conclusion of the contract is rejected by bentocur GmbH, the customer will be informed about this without delay via e-mail.
