1. Scope of Application

1.1. For the business relationship between EquiAkademie, 64367, Germany (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”) and the customer (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”), these General Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively in the version valid at the time of the order.
1.2. You can reach our customer service for questions, complaints, and objections at: equiakademie@gmail.com
1.3. A 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 attributable to their independent professional activity (§ 13 BGB – German Civil Code).
1.4. Deviating conditions of the Customer shall not be recognized unless the Seller expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

2. Offers and Service Descriptions

2.1. The presentation of products in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather an invitation to place an order. Service descriptions in catalogs and on the Seller’s websites do not have the character of an assurance or guarantee.
2.2. All offers are valid “while stocks last” unless otherwise noted on the product page. Errors and omissions excepted.

3. Ordering Process and Conclusion of Contract

3.1. The Customer can select products from the Seller’s range without obligation and collect them in a so-called shopping cart via the [Add to Cart] button.
3.2. The Customer can then proceed to complete the ordering process within the shopping cart via the [Proceed to Checkout] button.
3.3. By clicking the [Buy Now / Complete Purchase] button, the Customer submits a binding offer to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. Before submitting the order, the Customer can view and change the data at any time. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
3.4. The Seller will then send the Customer an automatic acknowledgment of receipt via email, in which the Customer’s order is listed again and which the Customer can print out using the “Print” function (Order Confirmation). The automatic acknowledgment of receipt merely documents that the Customer’s order has been received by the Seller and does not constitute acceptance of the request. The purchase contract is only concluded when the Seller dispatches or hands over the ordered product to the Customer within 2 days, or confirms the shipment to the Customer within 2 days via a second email, explicit order confirmation, or by sending the invoice.
3.5. If the Seller permits payment via advance payment (bank transfer), the contract is concluded upon provision of the bank details and the request for payment. If payment is not received by the Seller within 10 calendar days after the order confirmation has been sent, despite being due and after a renewed request, the Seller shall withdraw from the contract. As a result, the order becomes invalid and the Seller is under no obligation to deliver. The order is then settled for both the buyer and the seller without further consequences. A reservation of the item in the case of advance payments is therefore made for a maximum of 10 calendar days.

4. Prices and Shipping Costs

4.1. All prices stated on the Seller’s website are inclusive of the applicable statutory value-added tax (VAT).
4.2. In addition to the stated prices, the Seller charges shipping costs for delivery. The shipping costs are clearly communicated to the buyer on a separate shipping costs page and during the checkout process.

5. Delivery and Product Availability

5.1. If no copies of the product selected by the Customer are available at the time of the order, the Seller shall inform the Customer of this in the order confirmation. If the product is permanently unavailable, the Seller will refrain from issuing a declaration of acceptance. In this case, a contract is not concluded.
5.2. If the product designated by the Customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, the Seller shall also inform the Customer of this immediately in the order confirmation. In the event of a delivery delay of more than two weeks, the Customer has the right to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the Seller is also entitled to dissolve the contract. If this occurs, the Seller will immediately refund any payments already made by the Customer. If advance payment has been agreed, delivery will take place after receipt of the invoice amount.

6. Payment Terms

6.1. The Customer can choose from the available payment methods within the framework of and prior to the completion of the ordering process.
6.2. If payment by invoice is available, payment must be made within [30 days] after receipt of the goods and the invoice. For all other payment methods, payment must be made in advance without deductions.
6.3. If third-party providers are commissioned with payment processing (e.g., PayPal), their General Terms and Conditions shall apply.
6.4. If the due date for payment is determined by the calendar, the Customer shall automatically be in default by missing the deadline. In this case, the Customer must pay default interest at a rate of 5 percentage points above the applicable base interest rate.
6.5. The Customer’s obligation to pay default interest does not exclude the assertion of further damages caused by default by the Seller.
6.6. The Customer shall only have a right of set-off if their 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.
6.7. Installment Payment Agreement:
6.7.1. The Customer agrees to make 12 monthly installment payments of equal amounts until the total claim is settled. The first installment is due immediately, and all subsequent installments are due 1 month after the order date until the total claim has been paid in full.
6.7.2. The collection of installment payments is processed via the payment providers Stripe or PayPal.
6.7.3. Default interest in the agreed amount as well as costs for appropriate payment reminders will be charged for late payments. If internal collection efforts are unsuccessful, the bank or Seller may hand over the outstanding claim to a collection agency for recovery. In this case, you may incur costs for legal proceedings by collection agencies and, if applicable, for legal representation.

7. Retention of Title

The delivered goods remain the property of the Seller until full payment has been received.

8. Warranty for Defects and Guarantee

8.1. The statutory warranty rights apply to all products.
8.2. A guarantee only exists for the goods delivered by the Seller if this has been expressly stated.

9. Liability

9.1. Without prejudice to the other statutory prerequisites for claims, the following exclusions and limitations of liability apply to any liability of the Seller for damages.
9.2. The Seller is liable without limitation if the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence.
9.3. Furthermore, the Seller is liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which endangers the achievement of the contract’s purpose, or for the breach of obligations whose fulfillment enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the Customer regularly relies. In this case, however, the Seller is only liable for the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. The Seller is not liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned above.
9.4. The above limitations of liability do not apply in the event of injury to life, body, or health, for a defect after acceptance of a guarantee for the quality of the product, or for fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
9.5. Insofar as the Seller’s liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of employees, representatives, and vicarious agents.

10. Right of Withdrawal

(Beginning of the Instructions on Withdrawal for Consumers)

Right of Withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason in text form (e.g., letter, fax, email) or—if the goods are delivered to you before the expiry of this period—by returning the goods.
The period begins upon receipt of this notification in text form, but not before receipt of the goods by the recipient (in the case of recurring deliveries of similar goods, not before receipt of the first partial delivery) and also not before fulfillment of our information duties under Article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 paragraph 1 and 2 EGBGB as well as our obligations under § 312g paragraph 1 sentence 1 BGB in conjunction with Article 246 § 3 EGBGB. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient to send the notification of withdrawal or the goods before the period expires.
The withdrawal must be sent to:
EquiAkademie, Germany
Email: jkrllclassicalhorse@gmail.com

Consequences of Withdrawal

In the event of a valid withdrawal, the services received by both parties must be returned and any benefits derived (e.g., interest) must be handed over. If you are unable to return or hand over the received performance or benefits (e.g., benefits of use) in whole or in part, or only in a deteriorated condition, you must compensate us for the loss of value. You only have to pay compensation for the deterioration of the goods and for benefits derived if the benefits or the deterioration is due to handling the goods in a manner that goes beyond testing their properties and functionality. “Testing properties and functionality” means testing and trying out the respective goods as is possible and customary in a retail store.
Items that can be shipped by parcel are to be returned at our risk. You must bear the regular costs of return shipping if the delivered goods correspond to those ordered and if the price of the item to be returned does not exceed an amount of 40 Euros, or if—in the case of a higher price—you have not yet provided the counter-performance or a contractually agreed partial payment at the time of withdrawal. Otherwise, the return shipping is free of charge for you. Items that cannot be shipped by parcel will be collected from you. Obligations to refund payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. This period begins for you when you send your declaration of withdrawal or the goods, and for us upon their receipt.
(End of the Instructions on Withdrawal for Consumers)

11. Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to the delivery of goods that are manufactured according to customer specifications or are clearly tailored to personal needs, or for the delivery of audio or video recordings or software, provided that the delivered data carriers have been unsealed by you.

12. Returns

12.1. Customers are requested to notify the Seller of a return before sending it back in order to announce the return. This enables the Seller to assign the products as quickly as possible.
12.2. Customers are requested to return the goods as a prepaid parcel to the Seller and to keep the proof of posting. Upon request, the Seller will reimburse the postage costs in advance, provided that they are not to be borne by the buyer.
12.3. Customers are requested to avoid damage or contamination of the goods. If possible, the goods should be returned to the Seller in their original packaging with all accessories. If the original packaging is no longer available, other suitable packaging should be used to ensure adequate protection against transport damage and to avoid any claims for damages due to defective packaging.
12.4. The modalities mentioned in this section (No. 12) are not a prerequisite for the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal according to Section 10 of these Terms and Conditions.

13. Return Shipping Costs in the Event of Withdrawal

13.1. If the Customer is a consumer, they shall bear the regular costs of return shipping in the event of withdrawal (see No. 10 of these Terms and Conditions) if the delivered goods correspond to those ordered and if the price of the item to be returned does not exceed an amount of 40 Euros, or if—in the case of a higher price—the Customer has not yet provided the counter-performance or a contractually agreed partial payment at the time of withdrawal.
13.2. Otherwise, the return shipping is free of charge for the Customer.

14. Storage of the Contract Text

14.1. The Seller stores the contract text of the order. The General Terms and Conditions are available online. The Customer can print out the text of the contract before submitting the order to the Seller by using the print function of their browser in the last step of the ordering process.

15.2. Personal data provided for the purpose of ordering goods (such as name, email address, physical address, payment data) will be used by the Seller for the fulfillment and processing of the contract. This data will be treated confidentially and will not be passed on to third parties who are not involved in the ordering, delivery, or payment process.
15.3. The Customer has the right, upon request, to receive information free of charge about the personal data stored about them by the Seller. In addition, they have the right to correct incorrect data, as well as block and delete their personal data, provided that there is no statutory obligation to retain it.
15.4. Further information about the nature, scope, location, and purpose of the collection, processing, and use of the required personal data by the Seller can be found in the Privacy Policy.
