b) Conclusion of contract; ordering procedure, especially with regard to our Internet shop

When you make a purchase using our Internet site www.powerbox-systems.com, or from our catalogue or at our conventional shop, the contract between you (the customer) and us comes into being when you use the order function of our Internet shop, as described below, or when you make a binding offer for one or more of our products and / or services in some other manner, and when we accept this offer (contract confirmation). Our acceptance of your offer may be made in writing (including by fax or e-mail), orally or by the action of supplying the ordered goods. All the offers on our websites and in our shop represent no more than a non-binding invitation to you to make us a corresponding offer to purchase.
As soon as we receive your order / offer, we initially confirm our receipt of your order, generally by e-mail (order confirmation). This action does not constitute acceptance of your order. Upon receipt of your order we swiftlycheck its content; within two working days we inform you whether we are able to fulfil and accept the order (contract confirmation).
If you do not receive contract confirmation within two working days, no contract has been concluded.
The ordering procedure in our Internet shop functions as follows:

  • Move to the "Order" page, study the corresponding product list and select the desired products and their quantity by making an entry in the appropriate boxes; all entries can be corrected at any time until you actually despatch your order;
  • Select your preferred method of carriage from the appropriate list;
  • At any time you can refer to the "Sum" field, which always states the current total amount of your order (including VAT and carriage costs);
  • Select your preferred method of payment;
  • Tick the appropriate boxes to confirm that you have read and agreed with our data protection declaration, and with our AGB and legal information;
  • When you click on the "Despatch" box, you transfer your order to us, and thereby make a corresponding binding offer of purchase;
  • Shortly after this you will receive from us an initial order confirmation by e-mail, followed by confirmation of contract where applicable.

If you notice an error after concluding your order, or if you wish to alter your order, please send us an e-mail to this effect at orders@powerbox-systems.com, stating the Order Number; we will then attempt to cater for your changed wishes. This does not apply if we have already completed the processing of your order, and the shipment has already left our premises.

c) Contract language; availability of contract text

Contract language; availability of contract text The contract language is German. Where our General Terms of Business (AGB) and User Information are available in a different language, the sole purpose of the translation is to make it easier for you to gain information. If discrepancies or contradictions are found between the German-language version of the AGB and User Information and the translation, the German-language version is decisive.
We do not store the text of the contract.

3. Object of the contract; product characteristics; special offers and similar; disposal, batteries

a) Object of the contract

The object of the contract is the goods and services which you have specified in preparing your order, as named in our order confirmation and / or contract confirmation, at the end-user prices stated on our website, in our price lists and in our conventional shops. Errors excepted.

b) Product characteristics

The characteristics of the ordered goods correspond to our product descriptions (data sheets, operating instructions, etc.), which we will gladly send you upon request, and which are stated on our Internet site (www.powerbox-systems.com) Illustrations in catalogues and / or on our Internet site may only offer an imprecise reproduction of our products; for technical reasons it is certainly possible that colours may be substantially inaccurate. Pictures are provided for illustration purposes only, and may not provide an accurate reflection of the actual product.
We take the trouble to make factual statements, such as those included in drawings, illustrations, specifications, descriptions of weight, dimensions and performance, as accurate as possible, but this information may also exhibit deviations to the extent accepted as normal in our industry.
One basic rule is that technical devices should never be operated until their overall temperature has reached normal room temperature. Goods may become very cold, especially when in transit, and compensation must be made for this effect before the equipment is used for the first time.
The characteristics described above do not constitute a fault or defect in the products which we supply.

c) Availability of goods, especially concerning special offers

All offers apply for such time as stocks are available. Limitations in this respect apply in particular to special offers, which can only be supplied as long as existing stocks permit. When our stock of such goods is exhausted, this releases us from our obligation to supply.
Whenever goods become unavailable, we inform customers as quickly as possible, and undertake to reimburse the customer without delay for any funds he has already sent us (e.g. pre-payment). We will not consider any claims beyond this.

d) Disposal of equipment and batteries

It is prohibited to dispose of unwanted electrical and electronic apparatus via the domestic waste system. As owner of equipment of this type you are under an obligation to separate such superfluous goods from the general refuse in your home, and to dispose of them separately. As end-user you are entitled to surrender your old electrical and electronic equipment to your local recycling centre at no charge. Product manufacturers are responsible for accepting back all devices discarded in this way, and for disposing of them in the proper manner.
Some of our products include dry and / or rechargeable batteries as standard, and it is also prohibited to discard these in the household waste. Such batteries are marked with a symbol showing a cancelled waste bin, under which is printed the chemical symbol for the heavy metal (Cd, Hg or Pb) which causes it to be categorised as containing hazardous material. As end-user you are legally responsible for returning such exhausted batteries. You can send or personally pass them on to us, and we will recycle or dispose of them in the proper manner.

4. Despatch, carriage risk

Goods are sent by parcel post; the package is transferred to the delivery company immediately after receipt of payment (funds transfer or banker's draft).
Where the order is from an end-user, we bear the risk of carriage.
Where the order is from a company, the risk of carriage is borne by the orderer from the moment the packet is transferred to the (first) transport individual.
Powerbox-Systems GmbH is entitled to subsequently amend the shipping method and/or shipping company based on organisational reasons.

5. Prices and payment, counter-claims and rights of retention

The prices quoted on our Internet sites, in our price lists or in our conventional shops are end-user prices in Euro, and include the statutory Value Added Tax (VAT). The indicated carriage costs are additional to these prices.
When goods are delivered to countries outside Germany, there may be additional charges such as customs duty, taxes and fees. These charges are payable by the customer, and it is the customer's responsibility to establish his liability in this regard.
Payment is by funds transfer or banker's draft; alternatively a valid credit card may be used at the customer's request.
You are not entitled to make any counter-claim unless such claim has been determined by due legal process, is undisputed, and has been acknowledged by us in writing. You may only exert a right of retention if the underlying claim is based on the same contract relationship.

6. Reservation of title

Delivered goods remain our property until we receive payment in full.
This also applies with respect to business customers, in which case title remains ours until we also receive complete settlement of future demands based on current business associations plus interest and costs.

7. Guarantee, guarantee periods

a) End-users

With regard to customers who are end-users, we grant a guarantee on used goods for a period of one year, commencing with the despatch of the goods; this abridged guarantee period does not apply if the goods can be shown to lack an assured characteristic or contain deliberately concealed defects, and guarantee claims conforming to the prevailing guarantee regulations.
In the case of new goods the guarantee period is two years, commencing with the despatch of the goods.
The guarantee is granted in accordance with statutory regulations, i.e. as end-user you are entitled to rectification (your choice of correction of the fault or replacement, within the statutory limits) and, if the appropriate legal requirements are met, you have a right to diminution or withdrawal and compensation; compensation is subject to the limitations set out in Para. 9 of these AGB.

b) Business customers

With regard to clients who are not end-users (business customers), the guarantee period for new goods is one year commencing with the despatch of the goods; we do not grant a guarantee on used goods.

8. Requirement to notify defects

a) No requirement to notify defects for end-users

We request that end-users notify us of obvious faults in goods (e.g. transit damage) as quickly as possible, so that we can carry out suitable measures for correcting the defect. However, this is not a requirement to validate your claims with regard to such faults.

b) Examination and defect notification for business customers

If such an examination is not carried out and / or a complaint submitted, then the goods are deemed to be approved in respect of the determined defects, and in respect of such defects which could have been discovered in the course of an examination as described above.
Faults discovered subsequently must be notified to us in the appropriate manner without delay, at the latest within ten working days. If we receive no complaint, then the goods are considered to be approved in respect of such defects.

9. Restriction and limitation by lapse of time on our liability to pay compensation and reimbursement

With the following exceptions, claims for compensation and reimbursement (hereinafter termed claims for compensation) against us are limited to damages which might typically arise from the contract and might typically be foreseen, excluding any loss of earnings.
