1. Scope of Application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) of Emma Mach (hereinafter “Seller”) apply to all contracts which a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter “Customer”) concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods and/or services presented by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 These GTC shall apply mutatis mutandis to contracts for the delivery of digital content, unless otherwise expressly agreed.
1.3 These General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise expressly agreed.
1.4 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly neither be attributed to his commercial nor his self-employed professional activity. Entrepreneur in the sense of these General Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.
1.5 Digital content within the meaning of these GTC is all data not on a physical data carrier which is produced in digital form and made available by the Seller under the granting of certain rights of use regulated more precisely in these GTC.

2. Conclusion of Contract

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 submit a binding offer by the customer.
2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller’s online shop. After placing the selected goods and/or services in the virtual shopping basket and completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button completing the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone or e-mail.
2.3 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 e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive, or by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or by requesting payment from the Customer after placing his order. If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the dispatch of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer’s offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 If the payment method “PayPal Express” is selected, the payment shall be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22- 24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “PayPal”), in accordance with 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 – in accordance with the Terms of Payment without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer selects “PayPal Express” as the payment method within the framework of the online ordering process, he also issues a payment order to PayPal by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. In this case the seller declares already now the acceptance of the offer of the customer at the time in which the customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button completing the order process.
2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller’s online order form, the text of the contract will be stored by the seller and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) together with the present general terms and conditions after sending his order. In addition, the text of the contract is archived on the Seller’s website and can be retrieved free of charge by the Customer via his password-protected customer account by providing the corresponding login data, provided the Customer has created a customer account in the Seller’s online shop before sending his order.
2.6 Before binding submission of the order via the online order form of the seller, the customer can correct his entries continuously via the usual keyboard and mouse functions. In addition, all entries are displayed again in a confirmation window before the binding submission of the order and can also be corrected there using the usual keyboard and mouse functions.
2.7 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.8 The order handling and establishment of contact take place as a rule by e-mail and automated order handling. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address.
