1) Scope of application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) of World of Groomers Döring Döring GbR (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 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 General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise agreed.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these General 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.
1.4 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his or her commercial or independent professional activity.
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller’s online shop 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 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 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 may 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 in this respect, or
- by requesting payment from the customer after the order has been placed.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in 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 shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment is processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “PayPal”), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com
2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller’s online order form, the contract text will be saved by the seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller’s online store before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller’s website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.
2.6 Before submitting a binding 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 tool for better recognition of input errors can be the browser’s magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that completes the ordering process.
2.7 Different languages are available for the conclusion of the contract. The specific language selection is displayed in the online store.
2.8 Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing 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 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.
3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who, at the time the contract is concluded, are not members of a member state of the European Union and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.
4) Prices and terms of payment
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller’s product description, the prices stated are total prices which include statutory sales tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which must 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 be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds 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 advance payment by bank transfer is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.5 If you select a payment method offered via the “PayPal” payment service, the payment will be processed via PayPal, whereby PayPal may also use the services of third-party payment service providers for this purpose. If the seller also offers payment methods via PayPal for which he makes advance payments to the customer (e.g. purchase on account or payment by installments), he assigns his payment claim in this respect to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the customer. Before accepting the seller’s declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal carries out a credit check using the transmitted customer data. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the selected payment method in the event of a negative test result. If the selected payment method is approved, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or at the agreed payment intervals. In this case, he can only make payment to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. regarding goods, delivery time, dispatch, returns, complaints, revocation declarations and deliveries or credit notes, even in the event of assignment of claims.
4.6 If you select the payment method “SOFORT”, payment processing will be carried out via the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter “SOFORT”). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via “SOFORT”, the customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in “SOFORT”, legitimize himself accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to “SOFORT”. The payment transaction is carried out immediately afterwards by “SOFORT” and the customer’s bank account is debited. The customer can find further information on the “SOFORT” payment method on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com
4.7 If you select a payment method offered via the payment service “Stripe”, the payment will be processed via 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 Stripe will be communicated to the customer in the seller’s online shop. To process payments, Stripe may use other payment services for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be informed separately. Further information about Stripe is available on the Internet at https://stripe.com
4.8 If you select a payment method offered via the “Klarna” payment service, payment processing will be carried out via Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter “Klarna”). Further information and Klarna’s terms and conditions can be found here:

5) Delivery and shipping conditions
5.1 If the Seller offers to ship the goods, delivery will be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address specified by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address specified in the seller’s order processing is decisive for the processing of the transaction.
5.2 If delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. If the customer effectively exercises the right of withdrawal, the provision in the seller’s withdrawal policy shall apply to the return costs.
5.3 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall not pass until the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Notwithstanding the above, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer, even in the case of consumers, as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier 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-supply. This shall only apply in the event that the seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care. The seller shall make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded without delay.
5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

- for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defectiveness,
- for any existing obligation of the seller to provide updates for digital products, in the case of contracts for the supply of goods with digital elements.
7.3 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing statutory recourse claim remain unaffected.
7.4 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of Section 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he is subject to the commercial obligation to inspect and give notice of defects in accordance with Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved.
7.5 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is requested 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 with this, this has no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8) Redemption of promotional vouchers
8.1 Vouchers issued free of charge by the Seller as part of promotional campaigns with a specific period of validity and which cannot be purchased by the Customer (hereinafter “promotional vouchers”) can only be redeemed in the Seller’s online shop and only during the specified period.

10) Applicable law
10.1 All legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws governing the international sale of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
10.2 Furthermore, this choice of law with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who, at the time the contract is concluded, are not members of a member state of the European Union and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.
