4. Delivery

A contracted shipping company delivers to your home address. Please ensure that the addressing is transmitted correctly. Items to post office boxes and items held in postal storage are not possible. If the transport company returns the dispatched goods to the seller because delivery to the buyer was not possible, the buyer shall bear the costs for the unsuccessful dispatch.

We ask you to complain about any apparent transport damage to the delivery company immediately upon receipt of the goods so that the statutory warranty remains in force.

We deliver within the EU and to Switzerland. If your country is not set up as a recipient country in the shop and for larger deliveries outside Europe, please send us a message to shop@lite-soil-shop.com.

All deliveries are made with calculation of the Austrian value added tax. All taxation (EUSt) and customs clearance charges otherwise incurred must be borne by the buyer. The total charge to purchasers may therefore differ from the prices shown on the relevant Lite-Soil product pages due to currency exchange rates and levy regulations. A detailed summary of all costs is provided in the ordering process. Please inform yourself independently at your customs office about possible customs duties.

 

5. Prices, shipping costs and delivery information

The prices stated on the product pages are final prices, are in euros (€) and include the statutory value added tax and other price components.

We deliver within the EU and to Switzerland.
In addition to the prices shown, we charge for delivery:

If the goods are returned freight collect, we will invoice the corresponding amount. Please note that the products must be returned in the condition in which they were received, i.e. without signs of use beyond inspection, and preferably in the undamaged original packaging.

10. Warranty

If defects occur in the purchased goods that are not due to user errors, you as a consumer are entitled to the statutory warranty rights (24 months). Excluded from the warranty are defects and malfunctions for which the seller is not responsible, such as natural wear and tear, force majeure, improper handling, improper intervention by the buyer (in) or third parties.
Insofar as the purchase of goods via our Internet shop is a business-related transaction for you, the obligations of § 377 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) apply.
The limitation period for warranty claims is one year for entrepreneurs and for used goods. In all other respects, the statutory limitation periods shall apply.

 

11. Compensation and product liability

All claims for damages are excluded in cases of slight negligence. This does not apply to personal injury or – in the case of consumer transactions – to damage to items accepted for processing. The existence of slight or gross negligence must be proven by the injured party, unless it is a consumer transaction. The provisions on damages contained in these GTCs or otherwise agreed shall also apply if the claim for damages is asserted in addition to or instead of a warranty claim. We are not liable for indirect damage. We accept no liability for the constant and uninterrupted availability or for technical or electronic errors of the online offer. We are not liable for any damage caused by unauthorised persons shopping with us using the password assigned to the user. We are not liable for damage resulting from the acceptance of parcels by third parties. Please ensure that each item can only be received by authorised persons and, in case of doubt, give appropriate instructions to the delivery person.

 

12. Severability clause

Should individual provisions of the contract with the Buyer(s), including these General Terms and Conditions, be or become invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The whole or part of the ineffective provision shall be replaced by a provision whose economic success comes as close as possible to the ineffective provision. The same applies in the event of a contractual loophole.

 

13. Choice of law and place of jurisdiction

a. The contractual relationship shall be governed by the law of the Republic of Austria to the exclusion of substantive uniform law, in particular the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

b. If the Buyer is an entrepreneur, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship shall be the Commercial Court of Vienna, unless an exclusive place of jurisdiction is given. In all other respects, the statutory provisions shall apply to the place of jurisdiction
