General Terms and Conditions for Customer Information


1) Area of Application

These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “T&Cs”) of MYMITO GmbH (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods and/or services listed by the Seller in the Seller’s online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms is hereby precluded unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These T&Cs shall apply accordingly for the purchase of vouchers provided no deviation is expressly regulated in this respect.

1.3 Within these T&Cs, a consumer is any natural person who concludes a transaction for purposes which cannot be primarily attributed as either commercial activity or as independent professional activity. Within these T&Cs, an entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or legal partnership who/which is acting in his commercial or professional capacity upon concluding a legal transaction.

2) Conclusion of Contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online shop of the Seller are not binding offers on the part of the Seller, but act as the submission of a binding offer by the Customer.

2.2 The Customer can submit the offer via the built-in order form online in the Seller’s online shop. In this process, after having placed the selected goods and/or services into the virtual shopping cart and having gone through the electronic ordering process by clicking the ordering process finalization button, the Customer provides a legally binding contractual offer in relation to the goods and/or services in the Customer’s cart.

2.3 The Seller may accept the offer of the Customer;

  • by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby in this respect the Customer’s access to the goods is decisive, or
  • by demanding payment from the Customer after the submission of his order.

If more than one of the above alternatives is available, the contract will be concluded at the time at which one of the above alternatives first occurs. If the Seller fails to deliver to the Customer within the aforementioned period, the offer shall be considered rejected with the result that the Customer is no longer bound by the Customer’s declaration of intention.

2.4 The order confirmation sent to the Customer following receipt constitutes an acceptance of the offer to the Customer.

2.5 If an offer is submitted via the Seller’s online order form, the contract is saved by the Seller and sent to the Customer together with these General Terms and Conditions in writing (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the Customer submits his order. In addition, the contract is archived on the Seller's website and can be downloaded free of charge by the Customer via the Customer’s password protected account by entering the Customer’s appropriate login information, provided that the Customer has not created an account in the Seller’s online shop before submitting his order.

2.6 Before submitting the order via the Seller’s online order form, the Customer can correct his entries using standard keyboard and mouse functions. Furthermore, all entries are displayed again in a confirmation window before the binding submission of the order and can be corrected using standard keyboard and mouse functions.
2.7 German is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 Order processing and contact normally take place via e-mail. The Customer must ensure that the Customer’s email address designated for the processing of the order is correct, so that emails can be received from the Seller at this address. In particular, if using spam folders, the Customer shall ensure that all of the emails sent by the Seller or third parties responsible for order processing can be delivered.

3) Right of Withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are principally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 More information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller’s instructions on the right of withdrawal.

4) Prices and Terms of Payment

4.1 Unless the product description of the Seller indicates otherwise, the prices stated are total prices including VAT. If necessary, additional delivery and shipping costs are displayed separately in the product description.

4.2 Other costs may arise for deliveries to countries outside the European Union. The Seller is not responsible for such costs, which shall be borne by the Customer. These include costs for the transfer of funds through banks (e.g. bank transfer fees, exchange fees) and legal import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred with respect to money transfers if delivery is not made in a country outside the European Union, but the Customer makes payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 The Customer has several payment options available that are specified in the Seller’s online shop.

4.4 If prepayment is agreed upon, payment is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract.

4.5 If the payment method “PayPal” is choosen, payment processing takes place via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg under validity of the PayPal User Agreement, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full.

5) Delivery and Dispatch Terms

5.1 Goods are delivered by shipment to the shipping address provided by the Customer unless otherwise agreed upon.

5.2 For goods that are shipped by a freight carrier, “free curb" takes place, i.e. up to the nearest public curbside to the shipping address, unless specified otherwise in the shipping information in the Seller’s online shop and unless otherwise agreed upon.

5.3 If the transport company sent the goods back to the Seller as delivery to the Customer was not possible, the Customer shall bear the costs for the unsuccessful delivery. This does not apply if the Customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal, if the Customer is not responsible for the circumstances that led to the impossibility of delivery, or if the Customer was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the Seller previously advertised a reasonable time for performance to the Customer.

5.4 If the Customer is an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold is transferred to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the object to the forwarder, carrier or the person or entity designated to carry out the shipment. If the Customer operates as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold only transfers, in principle, to the Customer or to a person authorized to receive the delivery upon delivery of the goods. Notwithstanding this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold is also transferred to the Customer, even if the Customer is a consumer, as soon as the Seller has delivered the object to the forwarder, carrier or the person or entity designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has charged the forwarder, carrier or the person or entity designated to carry out the shipment with its execution and the Seller has not previously named this person or entity to the Customer.

5.5 The Seller reserves the right to terminate the contract in the case of incorrect or improper delivery. This applies only to the case that the non-delivery is not attributable to the Seller and that the Seller has concluded a specific hedging transaction with the supplier with all due diligence. The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to supply the goods. In case of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer will be notified immediately and the refund returned without delay.

5.6 Vouchers are provided to the Customer as follows:

- per email

6) Reservation of Title

6.1 With regard to consumers, the Seller reserves the title to the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price owed.

6.3 If the Customer is an entrepreneur, he is entitled to sell the goods in the course of ordinary business. The Customer shall transfer all resulting claims against third parties at the applicable invoice value (including VAT) to the Seller in advance. This transfer shall apply regardless of whether the reserved goods are resold without or after processing. After the transfer, the Customer also remains authorized to collect receivables. The Seller's right to collect the claims on the Seller’s own behalf remains unaffected. The Seller shall not collect the claims as long as the Customer fulfills his payment obligations towards the Seller, is not in default of payment, and no petition has been filed for the commencement of insolvency proceedings.

If there is a defect in the goods, statutory provisions apply. In derogation of this provision, the following applies to objects that have not been used in accordance with their normal use for building construction and that have caused defects:

7.1 For Entrepreneurs

  • the Seller may choose the type of supplementary performance,

7.6 If the Customer is a consumer, the Customer is asked to make a complaint about the delivered goods with obvious shipping damage to the deliverer and to make the Seller aware of this. If the Customer does not comply, this has no effect on his legal or contractual claims for defects.
