General Terms & Conditions

General terms and conditions

 

Attention: only the German General terms and conditions are legally binding.

 

 

1. Scope and size

 

1.1. For all business relations between Global-Village / Palmen24.de (address data see below) and the customer (buyer and tenant), our general terms and conditions apply exclusively in their valid version at the time of the order. Conditions deviating from our terms require our express agreement!

 

1.2 In subsidiary addition to the General Terms and Conditions of the company Global-Village, the german general legal regulations apply, especially the German Consumer Protection Act (Konsumentenschutzgesetz) according to the German Distance Selling Act (Fernabsatzgesetz) in its current form. Other conditions will not become part of the contract, even if Global-Village does not explicitly contradict.

 

2. Offer

 

2.1 All our offers are subject to change and non-binding. Technical and design deviations from descriptions and information in brochures, catalogues and written documents, as well as model and material changes in the course of technical progress, shall remain in existence without any rights against us being able to be derived from them.

 

2.2 It is expressly pointed out that the delivered articles do not necessarily have to correspond to the illustrations. Size specifications are approximate and can vary by a maximum of 10 percent. We make every effort to reproduce the colours of the products shown in our advertising as realistically as possible. The colours you see, however, depend on your screen or the way the image develops, which is why we cannot guarantee the exact reproduction of the colours.

 

2.3 With removal or modification of the depicted product or its property within the online area, the originally depicted offer loses its validity.

 

2.4 The product designations Areca, Phoenix and Washingtonia palm are the most similar varieties in terms of visual characteristics and profile in nature, among the popular varieties, and are not identical to natural palms. With all offered decoration palms, the palm fronds supplied must first be pricked / draped at the top of the palm trunk on site. For this it is absolutely necessary to proceed according to the assembly instructions enclosed in the dispatch.

 

3. Conclusion of contract, transfer of risk and storage of contract text

 

3.1 A contract between Global-Village/Palmen24 and the buyer is concluded by an order of the buyer and the acceptance by Global-Village/Palmen24. The order of the customer is made by transmission of the order with all details. Global-village/Palmen24 accepts the contract by sending an order confirmation by e-mail / fax or by post to the customer.

 

3.2 The risk according to the terms of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - BGB) passes to the buyer / tenant as soon as the goods have been received by the buyer / tenant. In the case of rental orders, the liability is valid until Global Village/palmen24 has duly taken back the goods. Preserved real leaf palms, especially the palm fronds are only of limited use outdoors, rain and wind can cause damage. If they are used outdoors, depending on the weather conditions, a significantly shortened shelf life can be expected, which is why we excludes any guarantee and warranty when used outdoors. In the case of palm tree rental orders, the rental customer is explicitly liable if parts, especially palm fronds, are missing or if they are unusable.

 

3.3 Rental orders can be cancelled without charge up to 7 days before the start of the rental period. In case of cancellation of rental orders 4-7 days before, Global Village/Palmen24 charges 35% of the net rental price. For cancellations 2-3 days before, 65% and for cancellations on the day of rental / rental start date, 90% of the rental price.

 

3.4 The available contract language is German.

 

3.5 The text of the contract (order text) is stored. You can view the German General Terms and Conditions of Contract (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen -AGB) on our website at any time and save them on your computer. The concrete order data will be sent to you by email and are not accessible via the Internet.

 

4. Delivery

 

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed, delivery shall be made to the address indicated by the purchaser within the delivery/performance date stated in the offer, if applicable without plant pot and including assembly instructions in German and English language for palms.

 

4.2 Should Global Village/Palmen24 not be able to keep the delivery time, the customer will be informed immediately and the expected delivery date will be communicated. Should the ordered goods not be available, Global Village/Palmen24 will inform the customer immediately. In this case, we reserve the right to cancel the contract and not deliver the ordered goods in case of unavailability. If you have already paid the purchase or rental price, we will refund it immediately.

 

4.3 Force majeure, such as labour conflicts, natural disasters, traffic accidents, traffic jams / road closures, illness and production interruptions, which are not in the sphere of influence of Global-Village/Palmen24, release us from the obligation to deliver or allow us to re-set the agreed upon delivery time.

 

5. Return costs when exercising the right of withdrawal

 

You shall bear the direct costs of the return shipment. We will reimburse the costs of the shipment to you in the amount of the standard shipment (no reimbursement of express, overnight or similar additional costs caused by your request).

 

6. Right of withdrawal for consumers (§13 Deutsches Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch – BGB)

 

Consumer in the sense of § 13 BGB is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can be attributed predominantly neither to his commercial nor his independent professional activity.

 

Reasons for the non-existence and for premature expiration of the right of withdrawal:

 

The right of withdrawal in distance selling does not exist:

 

- For delivery of goods that are not prefabricated and for the production of which an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.

- In the case of delivery of goods that can spoil quickly or whose expiry date would be quickly exceeded.

- For the supply of newspapers, periodicals or magazines, with the exception of subscription contracts.

- In the case of the supply of alcoholic beverages whose price was agreed upon when the contract was concluded, but which can be supplied no earlier than 30 days after the conclusion of the contract and whose current value depends on fluctuations in the market over which the trader has no control.

 

The right of withdrawal in distance selling expires prematurely:

 

- In the case of delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene, if their seal has been removed after delivery.

- In the case of delivery of goods, if they have been inseparably mixed with other goods after delivery due to their nature.

- In the case of delivery of sound or video recordings or computer software in a sealed package, if the seal has been removed after delivery.
