I. Standard business terms
    1. Basic provisions
    
    
(1) The
            following business terms are applicable to all the contracts, which you conclude with us as a supplier
        (PURIZE® Filters GmbH & Co. KG) via the https://www.purize-filters.com/
            website. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the inclusion, if necessary, of your own conditions is
            ruled out. 
    (2) A
            ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal
            transaction which, to an
            overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.
            The term ‘businessman’ refers to
            every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in
            pursuance of his/its independent
            professional or commercial activity.
    
    2. Conclusion of the contract
    
    
(1) The
            subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products.
    (2) As soon
            as you place the respective product on our website, we shall submit to you a binding offer to conclude a
            contract via the online
            shopping cart system under the conditions specified in the item description.
    (3) The
            contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
    The goods intended for purchase are placed in
            the "shopping cart". You can call up the "shopping cart" using the corresponding button in the
            navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
    After clicking the button "Checkout" or
            "Proceed to order" (or similar designation) and entering the personal data as well as the payment and
            shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed to you as an order overview.
    If you use an instant payment system (e.g.
            PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort, giropay) as your payment method, you will
            either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or forwarded to the website of the provider of
            the instant payment system.
    If you are forwarded to the relevant instant
            payment system, choose and/or enter your data as appropriate. Finally, on the website of the
            provider of the instant payment system or, after you have been directed back to our online shop, the order
            data will be displayed as an order
            overview.
    Before submitting the order, you have the
            option once more to review or change (you may also use the "Back" button on your web browser)
            any information on the order summary page, or to cancel the purchase.
    By sending the order via the corresponding
            button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order with obligation to pay", "pay" / "pay
            now" or similar designation) you declare the legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract
            is concluded.
    (4) The
            execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract
            take place via e-mail, in a
            partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited
            with us is the correct one, and
            that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the
            respective e-mails are not blocked by a
            SPAM filter..
    
    3. Contract duration / Cancellation in case of subscription contracts
    
    
(1) The
            subscription contract concluded between you and us has an indefinite term. The contract can be terminated by
            both parties with a
            notice period of 1 month to the end of the month (unless otherwise stipulated in the respective
            offer).
    (2) The right
            to terminate the contract without notice for important reasons remains unaffected.
    (3) Any
            notice of termination must be declared and transmitted either in text form (e.g. e-mail) or via the
            cancellation button integrated on our
            Internet presence ("Cancel contracts here" or similar designation).
    
    4. Special agreements related to the offered payment methods
    
    
(1) Payment
            via "Mollie"
    If you select a payment method offered via
            "Mollie", the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Mollie B.V. (Keizersgracht
            313, 1016 EE Amsterdam, The Netherlands; "Mollie").
    The individual payment methods via "Mollie"
            will be displayed to you under a correspondingly designated button on our website as well as in
            the online ordering process. "Mollie" may use other payment services for payment processing; if special
            payment conditions apply, you will be
            informed of these separately. You can find more information about "Mollie" at https://www.mollie.com/de. 
    
    5. Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
    
    
(1) You can
            only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same
            contractual relationship.
    (2) The
            goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
    
    6. Warranty
    
    
(1) The
            statutory warranty rights are applicable.
    (2) As a
            consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport
            damage as soon as it is
            delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do
            not comply with this request, it
            shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
    
    (3) If a
            characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to
            be agreed if you were
            informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and
            separately agreed between the
            contracting parties.
    
    7. Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
    
    
(1) German
            law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the
            protection guaranteed by
            the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of
            residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt
            principle).
    (2) If you
            are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by
            public law, our place of
            business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from
            the business relationships that exist with
            us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of
            jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well
            as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of
            commencement of proceedings. This
            has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
    
    (3) The
            provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly
            inapplicable.
    
    8. Protection of minors
    
    
(1) For the
            sale of goods, that are subject to the regulations of child welfare protection law, we only deal with
            contractual relationships with
            customers who have reached the legally prescribed minimum age.
    Any age restrictions are referred to in the
            respective item descriptions.
    (2)  By
            submitting your order, you assure that you have reached the legally prescribed minimum age and that your
            details as regards your
            name and your address are correct. You are under obligation to ensure that only you or other persons
            authorised by you to accept the
            delivery, who have reached the legally prescribed minimum age, can take delivery of the goods..
    
        (3) As
                long as we are under obligation by the legal provisions to carry out an age verification, we instruct
                the logistics service provider
                commissioned with the delivery to hand over the delivery only to persons who have reached the legally
                prescribed minimum age, and in case
                of doubt, to request for the identity card of the person accepting the product for the purpose of age
                verification.
    
    (4) As far
            as we show, beyond the legally prescribed minimum age in the respective item description, that you must have
            completed 18 years
            of age to be able to purchase the item, the aforementioned sections 1-3 are applicable providing that
            instead of the legally prescribed
            minimum age, the legal age must be reached.
