1. General and Scope of Application

The following terms and conditions of sale and delivery (German AGB), which you (hereinafter referred to as “buyer”) recognise through your order, apply to the business relationship between the buyer and petrockblock by Florian Müller for orders by telephone, email, fax, post or via the website petrockblock.com (hereafter referred to as “online shop”). The terms and conditions are valid in the version from the time of the order in our online shop. Opposing or deviating conditions of the customer from our general terms and conditions we do not accept, even if we know them and process the order without contradiction.
Buyers may be consumers or entrepreneurs. The consumer is a natural person who concludes the purchase for a purpose that is neither commercial nor can it be attributed to the person’s independent professional occupation (section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB)). Entrepreneur is any natural person or legal entity or a partnership capable of acquiring rights and incurring obligations that acts in exercise of his or its trade, business or profession when concluding a legal transaction (section 14 BGB).

2. Contract Conclusion

Offers of petrockblock by Florian Müller are non-binding and subject to change. A contract between petrockblock by Florian Müller and the buyer shall only come about when petrockblock by Florian Müller has confirmed the buyer’s order.
The Buyer shall submit a binding offer to petrockblock by Florian Müller by email, fax, post or telephone. A sales contract shall only come about between the buyer and petrockblock by Florian Müller once the goods have been sent to the buyer or acceptance of the offer submitted by the buyer has been expressly confirmed.  If the buyer receives a confirmation email for receipt of the order that relates to the email order or order in the online shop after receipt of the order by petrockblock by Florian Müller, this does not yet constitute acceptance of the contractual offer by petrockblock by Florian Müller. Acceptance of the buyer’s contractual offer rather does not take place until further express confirmation is issued or the goods are sent.
In the case of orders via the online shop the following also applies: The buyer submits a binding offer to petrockblock by Florian Müller when he has successfully completed the order process in the online shop by entering the details as prompted and then finally clicks on the “Buy Now” button. After receiving the order petrockblock by Florian Müller sends the buyer an automatically generated receipt confirmation, which does not yet indicate an acceptance of the offer and merely serves as information about the incoming order.  Before submitting the order in the online shop the buyer is shown a summary of the contents of his order to identify any typing errors. The buyer can correct any typing errors with regard to the order details by calling up the general “Return” function in the internet browser and/or by clicking on the “Edit Order” button during the order process. After having successfully logged in, which is initiated by clicking on the “My Account” button, the contract text is accessible to the Buyer until he deletes it himself.

The buyer shall not be entitled to any compensation for this reason.  Responsibility of petrockblock by Florian Müller for intent or negligence in accordance with the liability provisions pursuant to subsection 8 of these General Terms and Conditions of Business shall not be affected thereby. The same applies if delivery is considerably impeded or becomes impossible due to force majeure (fire, flooding, industrial disputes, operational disruptions, strikes, official directives which are not attributable to the operating risk of petrockblock by Florian Müller) or other events and petrockblock by Florian Müller is not responsible for it.  A right of withdrawal also exists if petrockblock by Florian Müller gains knowledge of the objective lack of creditworthiness on the part of the buyer after conclusion of the contract and the claims for payment of petrockblock by Florian Müller are thereby endangered.
Partial deliveries are permitted unless the buyer clearly has no interest in them or he can reasonably not be expected to have an interest in them. If petrockblock by Florian Müller exercises this right, packaging and forwarding costs will only be levied once.
