Shop terms and conditions

General terms and conditions with customer information

Table of contents

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) of Fitness Nation GmbH (hereinafter “Seller”) apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter “Customer”) concludes with the Seller with regard to the Seller in goods presented in his online shop. The inclusion of the customer’s own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless something else has been agreed.

1.2 These General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of goods presented in the Seller’s printed catalogue, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

1.3 These General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

1.4 These General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of tickets, unless expressly agreed otherwise. These terms and conditions only regulate the sale of tickets for certain events specified in the seller’s item description and not the implementation of these events. The statutory provisions in the relationship between the customer and the organizer as well as any deviating conditions of the organizer apply exclusively to the implementation of the events. If the seller is not also the organizer at the same time, he is not liable for the proper execution of the event, for which the respective organizer is solely responsible.

1.5 A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. Entrepreneur within the meaning of these terms and conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller’s online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to enable the customer to submit a binding offer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the seller’s online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, e-mail or online contact form.

2.3 When ordering goods shown in the seller’s printed catalogue, the customer can submit his offer to the seller by telephone, fax, e-mail or post. To do this, the customer can fill out the order form attached to the seller’s printed catalog and send it back to the seller.

2.4 The seller can accept the customer’s offer within five days,

  • by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or email), whereby receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
  • by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
  • by asking the customer to pay after placing his order.

If there are several of the above alternatives, the contract is concluded at the point in time when one of the above alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer has sent the offer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer’s offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller’s online order form, the contract text is saved by the seller after the conclusion of the contract and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. The seller does not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller’s online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller’s website and can be called up free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data

2.6 Before the binding submission of the order via the seller’s online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7 German and English are available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 Order processing and contact are usually made via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned to process the order can be delivered.

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 Further information on the right of cancellation can be found in the seller’s cancellation policy.

3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time the contract is concluded and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.

3.4 According to Section 312g Paragraph 2 No. 9 BGB, unless otherwise agreed, there is no right of withdrawal for contracts for the provision of services in connection with leisure activities if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision. According to this, a right of cancellation is also excluded for contracts that deal with the sale of tickets for scheduled leisure events.

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller’s product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory sales tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs are specified separately in the respective product description.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for money transfers by banks (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs can also be incurred in relation to the transfer of money if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller’s online shop.

4.4 If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

4.5 When paying using a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment is processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: “PayPal”), under the terms of the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if the customer does not have a PayPal account – under the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account , available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full .

5.1 Goods are delivered to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed.

5.2 Goods that are delivered by a forwarding agent are delivered “free curb”, i.e. to the public curb closest to the delivery address, unless otherwise stated in the shipping information in the seller’s online shop and unless otherwise agreed.

5.3 If delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the delivery if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. If the customer effectively exercises the right of cancellation, the regulation made in the seller’s cancellation policy applies to the return costs.

5.4If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold passes to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise responsible for carrying out the shipment. If the customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold only passes when the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Deviating from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold also passes to the customer for consumers as soon as the seller hands over the goods to the carrier,

5.5 The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper delivery to himself. This only applies in the event that the non-delivery is not the responsibility of the seller and he has concluded a specific hedging transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The seller will use all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the case of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.

5.6 Collection by the customer is not possible for logistical reasons.

5.7 Vouchers are given to the customer as follows:

  • per Download
  • by E-Mail

5.8 Tickets are provided to the customer as follows:

  • per Download
  • by E-Mail

6.1 In  relation to consumers, the seller reserves title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

6.2 In relation to entrepreneurs, the seller reserves ownership of the delivered goods until all claims from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.

6.3If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, he is entitled to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. The customer assigns all resulting claims against third parties in the amount of the respective invoice value (including sales tax) to the seller in advance. This assignment applies regardless of whether the reserved goods have been resold without or after processing. The customer remains authorized to collect the claims even after the assignment. The seller’s authority to collect the claims himself remains unaffected. However, the seller will not collect the claims as long as the customer meets his payment obligations to the seller, does not default in payment and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been filed.

If the purchased item is defective, the statutory liability for defects applies. Notwithstanding this, the following applies:

7.1 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,

  • the seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
  • in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from the transfer of risk;
  • in the case of used goods, the rights and claims due to defects are fundamentally excluded;
  • the statute of limitations does not begin again if a replacement delivery is made as part of the liability for defects.

7.2 If the customer acts as a consumer, the following applies to used goods with the restriction of the following number: Claims for defects are excluded if the defect only occurs one year after delivery of the goods. Defects that occur within one year of delivery of the goods can be asserted within the statutory limitation period.

7.3 The limitations of liability and shortened deadlines set out in the above paragraphs do not apply

  • for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual purpose and have caused its defectiveness,
  • for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the customer, as well as
  • in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.

7.4 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 445b BGB remain unaffected.

7.5 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB, he is subject to the commercial obligation to examine and give notice of defects according to § 377 HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated there, the goods are deemed to have been approved.

7.6 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is asked to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply, this has no effect whatsoever on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

The seller is liable to the customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory, including tortious claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:

8.1 The seller is fully liable for any legal reason

  • in the event of intent or gross negligence,
  • in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, limb or health,
  • on the basis of a guarantee promise, unless otherwise agreed in this regard,
  • due to mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.

8.2 If the seller negligently breaches an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage that is typical for the contract, unless liability is unlimited in accordance with the above clause. Essential contractual obligations are obligations which the contract imposes on the seller according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the customer can regularly rely.

8.3 Apart from that, liability on the part of the seller is excluded.

8.4 The above liability regulations also apply with regard to the liability of the seller for his vicarious agents and legal representatives.

9.1 If, according to the content of the contract, the seller owes not only the delivery of goods but also the processing of the goods according to specific specifications of the customer, the customer must provide the operator with all content required for processing such as texts, images or graphics in the file formats, formatting, image specified by the operator – and file sizes and to grant him the necessary rights of use. The customer is solely responsible for the procurement and the acquisition of rights to this content. The customer declares and assumes responsibility for having the right to use the content provided to the seller. In particular, he ensures that no rights of third parties are violated, in particular copyrights, trademarks and personal rights.

9.2 The customer shall indemnify the seller against claims by third parties which the latter may assert against the latter in connection with a violation of their rights through the contractual use of the customer’s content by the seller. The customer also assumes the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defense, including all court and attorney’s fees in the statutory amount. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the customer is obliged to provide the seller with all information that is necessary for the examination of the claims and a defense without delay, truthfully and completely.

9.3 The seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the customer for this purpose violates legal or official prohibitions or offends common decency. This applies in particular to the provision of anti-constitutional, racist, xenophobic, discriminatory, insulting, youth-endangering and/or violence-glorifying content.

If, according to the content of the contract, the seller owes not only the delivery of the goods but also the assembly or installation of the goods at the customer’s site and any corresponding preparatory measures (e.g. measurements), the following applies:

10.1 The seller provides his services at his own discretion or through qualified personnel selected by him. The seller can also use the services of third parties (subcontractors) who work on his behalf. Unless otherwise stated in the seller’s service description, the customer has no right to choose a specific person to carry out the desired service.

10.2 The customer must provide the seller with the complete and truthful information required for the provision of the service owed, insofar as their procurement does not fall within the scope of the seller’s responsibilities according to the content of the contract.

10.3 The seller will contact the customer after the conclusion of the contract in order to arrange an appointment for the service owed. The customer shall ensure that the seller or the personnel commissioned by the seller has access to the customer’s relevant facilities on the agreed date.

10.4 The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold only passes to the customer upon completion of the assembly work and handover to the customer.

11.1 Vouchers that are issued free of charge by the seller as part of promotions with a specific period of validity and that cannot be purchased by the customer (hereinafter “promotional vouchers”) can only be redeemed in the seller’s online shop and only in the specified period.

11.2 Promotional vouchers can only be redeemed by consumers.

11.3 Individual products can be excluded from the voucher campaign if a corresponding restriction results from the content of the campaign voucher.

11.4 Promotional vouchers can only be redeemed before completing the ordering process. Subsequent offsetting is not possible.

11.5 Only one promotional voucher can be redeemed per order.

11.6 The value of the goods must be at least equal to the amount of the promotional voucher. Any remaining credit will not be refunded by the seller.

11.7 If the value of the promotional voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the seller can be selected to settle the difference.

11.8 The balance of a promotional voucher will neither be paid out in cash nor will interest be paid.

11.9 The campaign voucher will not be refunded if the customer returns the goods paid for in whole or in part with the campaign voucher within the scope of his statutory right of withdrawal.

11.10 The promotional voucher is only intended for use by the person named on it. A transfer of the promotional voucher to third parties is excluded. The seller is entitled, but not obliged, to check the material entitlement of the respective voucher holder.

12.1 Vouchers that can be purchased via the seller’s online shop (hereinafter “gift vouchers”) can only be redeemed in the seller’s online shop, unless otherwise stated in the voucher.

12.5 Gift Vouchers can only be used to purchase Goods and cannot be used to purchase further Gift Vouchers.

12.6 If the value of the gift voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the seller can be chosen to settle the difference.

12.7 The balance of a gift voucher is neither paid out in cash nor does it bear interest.

12.8 The gift voucher is only intended for use by the person named on it. A transfer of the gift voucher to third parties is excluded. The seller is entitled, but not obliged, to check the material entitlement of the respective voucher holder.

13.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to all legal relationships between the parties, excluding the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.

13.2 Furthermore, this choice of law with regard to the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who do not belong to any member state of the European Union at the time the contract is concluded and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time the contract is concluded.

If the customer acts as a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the place of business of the seller. If the customer is based outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller’s place of business is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract if the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the customer’s professional or commercial activity. In the above cases, however, the seller is always entitled to appeal to the court at the customer’s registered office.
