I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as the provider (Freunde gesunder Lebensart) via the www.stucco-naturale.com website. Unless otherwise agreed, we object to the inclusion of any terms and conditions of your own that you may use.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his or her commercial nor to his or her independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Formation of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.

(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we submit a binding offer for the conclusion of a contract via the online shopping basket system on the terms and conditions stated in the item description. 

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping basket system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are placed in the “shopping basket”. You can call up the “shopping basket” via the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After clicking the “Checkout” or “Proceed to order” button (or similar designation) and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed to you as an order overview.

If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort, giropay) as a payment method, you will either be redirected to the order overview page in our online shop or to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, make the corresponding selection or enter your data there. Finally, you will be shown the order data as an order overview on the website of the provider of the instant payment system or after you have been redirected back to our online shop.

Before submitting the order, you have the option of checking the details in the order overview again, changing them (also using the “back” function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the order.

By sending the order via the corresponding button (“order with obligation to pay”, “buy” / “buy now”, “order with obligation to pay”, “pay” / “pay now” or similar designation), you declare the legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded. 

(4) Your requests for the preparation of an offer are non-binding for you. We will submit a binding offer to you in text form (e.g. by e-mail), which you can accept within 5 days (unless a different period is stated in the respective offer).

§ 3 Individually designed goods

(1) You shall provide us with the suitable information, texts or files required for the individual design of the goods via the online ordering system or by e-mail at the latest immediately after conclusion of the contract. Our specifications on file formats, if any, shall be observed.

(3) 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 guaranteed and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 5 Performance of courses

(1) The courses in the form described in the respective offers are carried out on the agreed dates.

(2) Insofar as the implementation of the courses is dependent on the number of participants, the minimum number of participants shall be determined by the respective offer.
If the minimum number of participants is not reached, we will inform you in writing (e.g. by e-mail) at least 7 days before the start of the course that the booked course will not take place. In this case, any services already provided will be refunded immediately.

(3) In the event of cancellation of an individual event due to short-term absence of the course instructor due to illness or for any other important reason, the services already provided will be refunded immediately.
In the case of events consisting of several event dates, if a date is cancelled due to short-term absence of the course instructor due to illness or other important reason, the cancelled date will be made up for on an alternative date.

(4) In connection with the use of course rooms and objects, you must comply with the house rules displayed locally. You must comply with our instructions or the instructions of the course instructor.
