The following general terms and conditions apply to all services between us and our customers (hereinafter: “customer” or “you”) in the version valid at the time of the order, unless otherwise expressly agreed. Our offers are directed exclusively at businesses and business customers (hereinafter “Business” or “Customer”). Our offers are not directed at consumers. By placing an order, you confirm that you are acting in a business capacity and not for personal, family, or household purposes.

(2) “Consumer” within the meaning of these terms and conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. “Entrepreneur” is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, is acting in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity, whereby a partnership with legal capacity is a partnership with the capacity to acquire rights and enter into obligations.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contracts, storage of the contract text

(1) The following provisions on the conclusion of contracts apply to orders placed via our online store at https://digitale-faszination.de.

(2) Our product presentations on the Internet are non-binding and not a binding offer to conclude a contract.

(3) Upon receipt of an order in our online store, the following regulations apply: The customer submits a binding contractual offer by successfully completing the order procedure provided in our online store. The order is placed in the following steps:

  1. Selection of the digital goods, the selected service(s),
  2. Add the products by clicking on the corresponding button (e.g. “Add to shopping cart”, “Add to shopping bag” or similar),
  3. Check the details in the shopping cart,
  4. Call up the order overview by clicking on the corresponding button (e.g. “Continue to checkout”, “Continue to payment”, “To order overview” or similar),
  5. Entry/verification of address and contact details, selection of payment method, confirmation of GTC and revocation policy,
  6. If the agreed quality of the goods deviates from their usual quality and conditions of use, confirmation of a negative quality agreement,
  7. Complete the order by clicking the “Buy now” button. This constitutes your binding order.
  8. The contract is concluded when you receive an order confirmation from us within three working days to the e-mail address provided.

(4) If the contract is concluded, the contract is concluded with Digitale Faszination GmbH, Unterer Sand 9, 94209 Regen, Germany.

(5) Before placing an order, the contract data can be printed out or saved electronically using the browser’s print function. The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract, in particular the order data, the general terms and conditions and the revocation policy, is carried out by e-mail after you have placed the order, in some cases automatically. We do not save the text of the contract after it has been concluded.

(6) Input errors can be corrected using the usual keyboard, mouse and browser functions (e.g. the browser’s “back button”). They can also be corrected by canceling the order process prematurely, closing the browser window and repeating the process.

(7) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have provided to us is correct, that the receipt of e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Subject matter of the contract and essential characteristics of the products

(1) The subject matter of the contract is our online store:

  1. The sale of digital goods, e.g. software or media downloads. The specific digital goods on offer can be found on our product pages.

  3. The granting of a right to use software via the Internet for a limited period of time (Software-as-a-Service).

(2) The essential characteristics of the digital goods and services can be found in the item description. If the agreed quality of the goods deviates from their usual quality and conditions of use, this is expressly stated in the item description (negative quality agreement). If the customer has given his express consent to the negative quality deviation, this defines the subject matter of the contract.

(3) For the sale of digital products, the End User License Agreement (EULA) available on the website(https://test.digitale-faszination.de/en/license-agreement/) as well as the restrictions evident from the product description or otherwise resulting from the circumstances, in particular regarding hardware and/or software requirements for the target environment, also apply.

§ 5 Right of retention

(1) You may only exercise a right of retention insofar as it concerns claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
