Terms of service
1. Contracting Party and Scope of Application
1.1 The following General Terms and Conditions govern all orders placed via the WeCirc online shop across all associated domains.
1.2 The contracting party is:
WeCirc
Stefan Gehring (Business Owner)
Berliner Straße 14
10715 Berlin, Germany
Email: info@wecirc.com
1.3 Our offers are directed exclusively at consumers within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), i.e. persons who purchase goods for private purposes. By submitting an order, the customer confirms that they are not acting in a commercial capacity and that the goods are not being purchased for resale.
1.4 Deviating terms and conditions of the customer shall only become part of the contract if we expressly agree to their validity in text form.
1.5 The contract language shall be German exclusively.
2. Conclusion of the Contract
2.1 The product presentations in the online shop do not constitute a binding offer, but rather an invitation to the customer to submit a purchase offer.
2.2 The customer places selected items in the virtual shopping cart by clicking the “Add to cart” button and can review and correct all information there. By clicking the “Buy now” button, the customer submits a binding offer to purchase the goods contained in the shopping cart. Before submitting the order, the customer must accept the GTC by ticking the corresponding checkbox.
2.3 After receipt of the order, we automatically send an email confirming receipt. This message does not constitute acceptance of the contract.
2.4 The contract is concluded only when we accept the customer’s offer by an explicit order confirmation via email or by dispatching the goods to the customer. The complete contract text will be provided to the customer at the latest upon delivery or as part of the order confirmation on a durable medium.
3. Prices, Shipping Costs, and Payment Terms
3.1 All prices stated in the online shop are final prices including statutory VAT. Any additional shipping costs will be clearly displayed to the customer during the ordering process.
3.2 Shipping costs depend on the delivery address and the shipping method selected during checkout.
3.3 Payment may be made using the payment methods offered in the online shop (e.g. credit card, PayPal, Klarna, Sofortüberweisung). The customer will not incur any additional fees for using these payment methods unless otherwise indicated during the ordering process.
3.4 The purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. In the event of default of payment by the customer, the statutory default provisions shall apply.
4. Delivery and Availability
4.1 Delivery is made to the delivery address specified during the ordering process.
4.2 Unless otherwise stated in the online shop, the standard delivery time within Germany is 2–4 working days after receipt of payment and order confirmation.
4.3 If a product is not available at the time of ordering, we will inform the customer without undue delay. If the goods are permanently unavailable, no contract shall be concluded and any payments already made will be refunded.
4.4 In the case of only temporary unavailability, we will inform the customer accordingly.
4.5 Delivery is made exclusively to the countries selectable during the ordering process.
5. Set-Off and Right of Retention
5.1 The customer may only offset counterclaims if these are undisputed or have been legally established.
5.2 The customer may only exercise a right of retention if the counterclaim arises from the same contractual relationship.
6. Retention of Title
The delivered goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price has been made.
7. Right of Withdrawal
7.1 Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details are set out in the withdrawal policy available in the online shop, which is provided to the customer during the ordering process.
7.2 The withdrawal policy also contains information on grounds for exclusion, in particular if the security seal has been removed or the goods have been used beyond mere inspection.
8. Condition of Used Items and Warranty
8.1 As the items are predominantly used individual pieces, the signs of wear described in the product description are part of the agreed condition and do not constitute a defect.
8.2 Statutory provisions (§§ 434 et seq. BGB) apply to claims for defects unless otherwise stipulated in these GTC.
8.3 The limitation period for claims for defects in used goods is one year from delivery of the goods. Excluded from this are claims:
- arising from injury to life, body, or health,
- arising from intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty, and
- claims under the Product Liability Act.
In these cases, the statutory limitation periods apply.
8.4 Guarantees exist only if they are expressly stated in the offer.
9. Liability
9.1 Claims for damages by the customer are excluded unless otherwise provided for in the following paragraphs.
9.2 The exclusion of liability does not apply to claims:
- arising from injury to life, body, or health,
- arising from the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), and
- for damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent conduct on our part.
9.3 In the case of a slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, liability is limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages.
9.4 The liability limitations also apply in favor of our legal representatives and vicarious agents. Liability under the Product Liability Act or for assumed guarantees remains unaffected.
10. Data Protection
Information on the processing of personal data can be found in our privacy policy, which is available at any time in the online shop.
11. Final Provisions
11.1 Should any provision of these GTC be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
11.2 All contracts are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as mandatory provisions of their country of residence are not restricted.
11.3 If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from the contractual relationship shall be Berlin. Statutory places of jurisdiction for consumers remain unaffected.
11.4 The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
