Terms and Conditions

1.    Applicability, Definitions

(1)  These terms and conditions apply to all contracts concluded between the company JUTEC Biegesysteme GmbH & Co.KG , Ottostr. 22, 65549 Limburg (JUTEC) and its Customers (Customer) via this online shop. A conclusion of a contract under different conditions is not possible, possible terms and conditions of business or purchase of the Customer are not recognized, unless JUTEC agrees to their validity expressly in writing.

(2)  The general terms and conditions apply in the version valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract.

(3)  The Customer is a consumer if the purpose of the ordered deliveries and services cannot be predominantly attributed to his commercial or independent professional activity. On the other hand, an entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding the contract, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.

2.    Conclusion of contract

(1)  The presentation and advertising of the products in JUTEC’S online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer.

(2)  The Customer can select products from JUTEC’S range and collect them in a so-called shopping cart by clicking the button "add to shopping cart".  The Customer can access the "shopping cart" via the corresponding button in the navigation menu and make changes there at any time. After entering the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as selecting the payment and shipping method, all order data is displayed again. By clicking on the button "Order subject to payment", the Customer submits a binding request to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. Before sending the order, the Customer can change and view the data at any time.

(3)  JUTEC will then send the Customer an automatic confirmation of receipt via e-mail, in which the Customer's order is listed again and which the Customer can print by using the "Print" function. The automatic confirmation of receipt merely documents that JUTEC has received the Customer's order and does not constitute acceptance of the application. The contract is only concluded when JUTEC issues the declaration of acceptance, which is sent by a separate e-mail (order confirmation). In this e-mail or in a separate e-mail, but no later than upon delivery of the products, the text of the contract (consisting of order, terms and conditions and order confirmation) is sent to the Customer by JUTEC on a permanent data carrier (e-mail or paper printout) (contract confirmation). The text of the contract will be stored by the provider in compliance with data protection.

(4)  The contract is concluded in German, English or French.

3.    Delivery, Availability of goods

(1)  JUETC is entitled to partial deliveries and partial services, provided this is reasonable for the Customer.

(2)  Delivery times stated by us are calculated from the time of our order confirmation, provided prior payment of the purchase price (except for purchase on account). If no delivery time or no deviating delivery time is indicated for the respective goods in our online shop, it is 5 - 10 days for consumers.

(3)  If the Customer is an entrepreneur, the expected delivery time is indicated on the order confirmation.

(4)  If the products are not in stock, the expected delivery time is indicated on the order confirmation. If the goods are permanently out of stock, JUETC refrains from a declaration of acceptance. In this case a contract is not concluded.

(5)  If the Customer, who is an entrepreneur, is in default of acceptance, fails to cooperate or if the JUTEC’S delivery is delayed for other reasons for which the Customer is responsible, JUTEC is entitled to demand compensation for the resulting damage including additional expenses (e.g. storage costs).

(6)  The occurrence of a delay in delivery by JUTEC to Customers who are entrepreneurs shall be determined in accordance with the legal specifications. In any case, however, a reminder from the Customer is required.

Please note:

Consumers are requested to check the products immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify the supplier and the transport company of any complaints as soon as possible.

Note: The above modalities are not a prerequisite for an effective practice of the right of withdrawal. Your warranty claims and your right of revocation remain unaffected.

4.    Retention of Title

(1)  The delivered goods (reserved goods) shall remain JUTEC’S property until full payment.

(2)  If the Customer is an entrepreneur, the Customer is allowed to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business as long as he is not in default of payment. For this purpose, the Customer hereby assigns by way of security to JUTEC any claims arising from the resale or on any other legal grounds with regard to the reserved goods in the amount of the outstanding claim amount (including VAT) at the time of its respective origin. JUTEC accepts this assignment. The Customer may collect the above-mentioned claims on his own account in his own name on behalf JUTEC as long as he is not in default of payment.

(3)  The restrictions of paragraphs 1 and 2 also apply in favour of JUTEC’S legal representatives and subcontractors if claims are made directly against them.

(4)  The limitations of liability resulting from paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply if JUTEC has fraudulently concealed the defect or has assumed a guarantee for the quality of the product.
