1) Scope

1.1 These general terms and conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Elisabeth Hartig, trading under "mysoulspiration" (hereinafter "seller"), apply to all contracts that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "customer") concludes with the seller with regard to the seller goods and/or services presented in its online shop. The inclusion of the customer's own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless something else has been agreed.

1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed.

1.3 Entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to enable the customer to submit a binding offer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods and/or services in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer in relation to the goods and services contained in the shopping cart by clicking on the "Order with costs" button that concludes the ordering process /or services.

2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days,

• by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
• by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
• by asking the customer to pay after placing his order.

If there are several of the above alternatives, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the above alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer has sent the offer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) together with these General Terms and Conditions after the order has been sent. However, the text of the contract can no longer be accessed by the customer via the seller's website after the order has been sent.

2.5 Before submitting a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.6 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.7 Order processing and contact are usually made via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned to process the order can be delivered.

3) Right of Withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 Further information on the right of cancellation can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.

4) Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory sales tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs are specified separately in the respective product description.

4.2 Various payment options are available to the customer, which are indicated in the seller's online shop right at the beginning of the ordering process.

4.3 If payment in advance has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 Goods are delivered to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive.

5.2 If the transport company sends the shipped goods back to the seller because delivery to the customer was not possible, the customer bears the costs for the unsuccessful shipment. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the circumstance that led to the impossibility of delivery or if he was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the seller announced the service to him a reasonable time in advance would have. Furthermore, this does not apply with regard to the costs for the delivery if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. If the customer effectively exercises the right of cancellation, the regulation made in the seller's cancellation policy applies to the return costs.

5.3 Collection by the customer is not possible for logistical reasons.

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes an advance payment, he retains ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed and all associated costs and expenses have been paid in full.

• in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
• in the case of used goods, the rights and claims due to defects are excluded;
• the statute of limitations does not begin again if a replacement delivery is made as part of the liability for defects.
