General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Scope of application
For the business relationship between the iKANTOS Support Association (in german ‘iKANTOS Unterstützerverein e.V.) – hereinafter referred to as iUV – as operator of the Internet portal “ikantos.org” and the Customer, the following General Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively in the version valid at the time of the order. The iUV does not recognize any deviating conditions of the orderer, unless the iUV has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
§ 2 Conclusion of contract
When you place an order with iUV, we will send you an invoice by e-mail confirming receipt of your order by us and listing its details. Your order constitutes an offer to us to conclude a purchase contract. We accept this offer when we notify you by e-mail that we have shipped the goods or (in the case of “advance bank transfer” payment terms) your payment has been credited to one of our bank accounts in accordance with the invoice. No purchase contract is concluded for products and services from one and the same order that are not listed in the invoice.
§ 3 Revocation
Cancellation policy
The orderer can revoke his contract explanation within 2 weeks without indication of reasons in text form (e.g. letter, fax, email) or – if the thing is left to you before period expiration – by return of the thing. The iUV will not reimburse shipping costs. It is pointed out that the iFV may retain a reduction in value resulting from the use of the item. Early bookers who order at special conditions are expressly excluded from the right of withdrawal. The period begins after receipt of this instruction in text form, but not before receipt of the goods by the recipient (in the case of recurring deliveries of similar goods, not before receipt of the first partial delivery) and also not before fulfillment of our information obligations pursuant to Art. 246 § 2 in conjunction with. § 1 para. 1 and 2 EGBGB as well as our obligations pursuant to § 312 e para. 1 sentence 1 BGB in conjunction with. Art. 246 § 3 EGBGB. The timely dispatch of the revocation or the item shall be sufficient to comply with the revocation period.

§ 4 Delivery
Unless otherwise agreed, delivery shall be ex warehouse to the delivery address specified by the Purchaser. Information about the delivery time is non-binding, unless the delivery date has been confirmed as binding in a separate e-mail with the subject “Delivery date confirmation”.
§ 5 Due date and payment, default
Depending on the status of the customer, an individual payment term applies, which will be indicated to him during the order process. By default, private customers can choose to pay by bank transfer in advance or cash on delivery. For corporate customers, public institutions and institutions, a payment term of 10 days after delivery (receipt of goods) applies. iUV reserves the right to assign different payment terms for individual customers.
If the customer is in default of payment, iUV is entitled to charge interest on arrears in the amount of 5% above the base interest rate p.a. announced by the European Central Bank. In the event that iUV has demonstrably incurred higher damages due to default, iUV shall be entitled to assert such damages.
§ 6 Special features in the case of purchase on credit terms
In case of purchase on payment terms of more than 7 days, the iUV checks and evaluates the data provided by the ordering party and, if there is a justified reason, exchanges data with Creditreform Berlin Wolfram KG, Einemstrasse 1, 10787 Berlin.
§ 7 Offsetting, Retention
The orderer shall only be entitled to set-off if his counterclaims have been legally established or recognized by iUV. Furthermore, he shall only be entitled to exercise a right of retention insofar as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
§ 8 Retention of title
The delivered goods remain the property of iUV until full payment.
§ 9 Liability for defects
If there is a defect in the purchased item, the purchaser may demand subsequent performance (rectification of the defect or replacement delivery). If the subsequent performance fails, the purchaser may withdraw from the contract in case of a not insignificant defect, reduce the purchase price or claim damages.
Unless otherwise stated below, any further claims of the Customer – irrespective of the legal grounds – shall be excluded. Therefore, iUV shall not be liable for damages that have not occurred to the delivery item itself; in particular, iUV shall not be liable for loss of profit or for any other financial losses of the orderer. Insofar as the liability of iUV is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
The aforementioned limitation of liability shall not apply if the cause of damage is based on intent or gross negligence or if personal injury is involved. Furthermore, it shall not apply if the Customer asserts claims under §§ 1, 4 of the Product Liability Act.
If iUV negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, the obligation to pay compensation for property damage shall be limited to the damage typically occurring.
The limitation period is twenty-four months, calculated from delivery.
§ 10 Data protection
Information on the type, scope, location and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data required for the execution of orders, registration for the e-mail notification service by the iUV can be found in the data protection provisions.
§ 11 Applicable law
German law shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
