General terms and conditions for private persons

1. Scope of application, contract language

(1) These general terms and conditions (GTC) apply to the contracts concluded between you and us, Viessmann Modelltechnik GmbH, Bahnhofstr. 2a, 35116 Hatzfeld-Reddighausen, represented by the managing director Wieland Viessmann, via this online shop.

(2) The language available for the conclusion of the contract is exclusively German. Translations of these terms and conditions into other languages are for your information only. In the event of any differences between the language versions, the German text shall take precedence.

 

2. Applicable law, mandatory consumer protection regulations

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods if

(a) You have your habitual residence in Germany, or

(b) Your habitual residence is in a state which is not a member of the European Union.

In the event that you have your habitual residence in a member state of the European Union, the applicability of German law shall also apply, whereby mandatory provisions of the state in which you have your habitual residence shall remain unaffected.

 

3. Conclusion of contract

(1) The presentation of the goods in our online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to order (invitatio ad offerendum).

(2) By clicking the "Order subject to payment" button in the last step of the ordering process, you make a binding offer to purchase the goods displayed in the order overview. Immediately after sending the order, you will receive an order confirmation, which, however, does not constitute an acceptance of your contractual offer. A contract between you and us is concluded as soon as we accept your order by a separate e-mail or send the goods for dispatch. Please check the SPAM folder of your e-mail inbox regularly.

(3) You can select goods for purchase in our online shop by placing them in a shopping cart by clicking on the corresponding button. If you want to complete the order, go to the shopping cart where you will be guided through the rest of the ordering process. After selecting the items in the shopping basket and entering all the necessary order and address data in the following step, clicking the "Continue" button will open a page in which the essential item details, including any costs incurred, are summarised once again. Up to this point you can correct your entries or refrain from declaring the contract. A binding offer within the meaning of paragraph 2 is only made by subsequently pressing the "Order subject to payment" button.

 

4. Correction notice

As part of the ordering process, you first place the desired goods in the shopping basket. There you can change the desired number of items at any time or remove selected goods completely. If you have placed goods in the shopping basket, clicking on the "Continue" buttons will take you to a page where you can enter your data and then select the shipping method. Finally, an overview page opens where you can check your details. You can correct your input errors (e.g. regarding data or the desired number of items) by clicking on "Edit" in the respective field. If you wish to cancel the ordering process completely, you can simply close your browser window. Otherwise, after clicking the confirmation button "Order with obligation to pay", your declaration becomes binding in accordance with point 3, paragraph 2 of these General Terms and Conditions.

 

5. Storage of the contract text

The contractual provisions with details of the ordered goods including these GTC and the cancellation policy will be sent to you by e-mail with the acceptance of the contractual offer or with the notification of this. We do not store the terms and conditions of the contract.

 

6. Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing

We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the framework of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing.
