1. Scope of application

(1) For the business relationship between Anja Schäfer, Deutwanger Str. 21, 78355 Hohenfels (hereinafter referred to as seller) and the Customer (hereinafter referred to as customer), the following general Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively in the version valid at the time of the order.

(2) A consumer in the sense of these general Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity (§ 13 BGB).

(3) Deviating terms and conditions of the consumer shall not be recognized unless the Seller expressly agrees to their validity.

(4) For questions, complaints and objections, we can be reached by phone at +49 (0) 7775 9394407 and by e-mail at contact@venus-spirit.com.

2. Offers and service descriptions

(1) The presentation of the goods in our online store does not constitute a legally binding contract offer on our part, but a non-binding invitation to place an order. By ordering the desired goods, the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract. Performance descriptions in our printed materials and on our websites or social media pages do not have the character of an assurance or guarantee.

(2) All offers are valid “while stocks last”, unless otherwise noted with the products. In all other respects, errors are excepted.

3. Order process and conclusion of contract

(1) The following regulations regarding the conclusion of the contract apply to orders placed via our online store venus-spirit.com/en/shop.

(2) In case of contract conclusion, the contract is concluded with

Anja Schäfer, Deutwanger Str. 21, 78355 Hohenfels, Germany.

comes into effect.

(3) The online offers represent a non-binding invitation to buy goods.

(4) The order is placed in the following steps:

The customer can select goods from the seller’s range without obligation and collect them in a so-called shopping cart by clicking the “Add to Cart” button. There he can check, edit and delete his selection. Via the button “Continue to checkout” he is forwarded to the checkout.

In the checkout he enters his customer data or logs in to his existing customer account. Required information is marked with an asterisk (*).
By clicking the button “Confirm order” the customer makes a binding request to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. Before submitting the order, the customer can change and view the data and selected goods at any time and go back to the shopping cart using the browser function “Back”. By closing the browser, the ordering process can be canceled.

We will then send the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail, in which the customer’s order is listed again (order confirmation). The automatic confirmation of receipt merely documents that the seller has received the customer’s order and does not constitute acceptance of the application. The purchase contract is not concluded until we have shipped or handed over the ordered goods to the customer within 5 days or have confirmed the shipment to the customer within 5 days with a second e-mail, explicit order confirmation or sending of the invoice. Download products will be made available for download immediately after receipt of payment.

(5) In the case of prepayment the contract is concluded with the provision of the bank details and request for payment. If, despite the due date, the payment is not received by us within 10 calendar days after sending the order confirmation, the seller shall withdraw from the contract with the consequence that the order shall lapse and the seller shall have no obligation to deliver. The order is then completed for the buyer and seller without further consequences. A reservation of the article in the case of prepayment is therefore made for a maximum of 10 calendar days.

4. Prices and shipping costs

(1) All prices stated on the seller’s website are inclusive of the applicable statutory sales tax.

(2) In addition to the stated prices, the seller shall charge shipping costs for the delivery. The shipping costs are clearly communicated to the buyer on a separate information page and during the ordering process.

5. Delivery and availability of goods

(1) If the customer has chosen payment in advance, we will ship the goods after receipt of the invoice amount.

(2) If not all ordered products are in stock, we are entitled to partial deliveries at our expense, as far as this is reasonable for the customer.

(3) Should the delivery of the goods fail due to the fault of the customer despite three delivery attempts, we may withdraw from the contract. Any payments made for goods will be refunded to the customer.

(4) If an ordered product is not available because the seller is not supplied with this product by its supplier through no fault of its own, the seller may withdraw from the contract. In this case, the seller will inform the customer immediately and, if necessary, propose the delivery of a comparable product. If no comparable product is available or if the customer does not wish to receive a comparable product, the seller will immediately reimburse the customer for any payments already made.

(5) Customers will be informed about delivery times and delivery restrictions (e.g. restriction of deliveries to certain countries) on a separate information page or within the respective product description.

(6) We reserve the right not to provide the promised service if it becomes apparent after conclusion of the contract that the goods are not available, although a corresponding commitment transaction has been concluded. In such a case, we will inform the customer immediately and refund any payments already made without delay. Further claims against us are excluded.

6. Payment

(1) The customer can choose from the available payment methods within the framework of and before the conclusion of the order process. Customers will be informed about the available payment methods on a separate information page.

(2) For all payment methods, payment must be made in advance without deduction.

(3) If third-party providers are commissioned with the payment processing, e.g. Paypal, their general Terms and Conditions shall apply.

(4) If the customer chooses the payment method PayPal, he must be registered there in order to be able to pay the invoice amount or must first register and legitimize himself with his access data. The payment transaction is carried out automatically by PayPal immediately after confirmation of the payment instruction. He will receive further instructions during the ordering process.

If the customer has chosen the payment method credit card, he must not be registered with PayPal to pay the invoice amount. The payment transaction is carried out immediately after confirmation of the payment instruction and after the legitimation as a legitimate cardholder by the credit card company at the request of PayPal and the card is charged. He will receive further instructions during the ordering process.

If he has chosen the direct debit payment method, he does not have to be registered with PayPal to pay the invoice amount. With confirmation of the payment instruction he gives PayPal a direct debit mandate. The customer will be informed by PayPal about the date of the account debit (so-called prenotification). By submitting the direct debit mandate immediately after confirmation of the payment instruction, PayPal requests its bank to initiate the payment transaction. The payment transaction is carried out and the customer’s account is debited. He will receive further instructions during the order process.

If the customer has chosen the payment method invoice, he does not have to be registered with PayPal to pay the invoice amount. After successful address and credit check and submission of the order, we assign our claim to PayPal. In this case, the customer can only pay to PayPal with debt-discharging effect. For payment processing via PayPal – in addition to our terms and conditions – the terms and conditions and privacy policy of PayPal apply. Further information and the complete terms and conditions of PayPal for the purchase on account can be found here: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/pui-terms?locale.x=en_EN.

(4) If the consumer has chosen prepayment he undertakes to pay the purchase price immediately after conclusion of the contract. It should be noted that the duration of the transaction between the various financial institutions vary from bank to bank and thus the processing time may be extended by 2-3 business days.

(5) The customer is only entitled to a right of set-off if his counterclaims have been legally established or recognized by the seller. The customer may only exercise a right of retention if the claims result from the same contractual relationship.

7. Retention of title

(1) We retain title to the goods until the purchase price has been paid in full.
