1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Tennisproshop IBK GmbH (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") has with the seller with regard to the information presented by the seller in his online shop goods and/or services. The inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be predominantly attributed to either their commercial or independent professional activity.

1.3 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

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 rather serve to make a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods and/or services in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer makes a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the "order for a fee" button that completes the ordering process /or services.

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 email), 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 asking the customer to pay after placing their order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives are present, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the contract text is saved by the seller and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after sending his order along with these general terms and conditions. In addition, the contract text is archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected customer account by providing the relevant login details, provided that the customer has created a customer account in the seller's online shop before sending his order.

2.5 Before bindingly submitting the order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means of better detecting input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. As part of the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that completes the ordering process.

2.6 The German language is available for concluding the contract.

2.7 Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address he provided to process the order is correct so that emails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.

3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.

4) Prices and payment terms

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices stated are total prices and include statutory sales tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs that may arise will be stated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 Various payment options are available to the customer, which are stated in the seller's online shop right at the beginning of the ordering process.

4.3 If advance payment has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract.

4.4 If you select a payment method offered via the payment service “Shopify Payments”, payment is processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter “Stripe”). The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments are communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. To process payments, Stripe may use other payment services to which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be notified separately. Further information about “Shopify Payments” is available online at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 Goods are delivered by shipping to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive.

5.2 If the transport company returns the shipped goods to the seller because delivery to the customer was not possible, the customer will bear the costs for the unsuccessful shipping. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the circumstances that led to the impossibility of delivery or if he was temporarily prevented from accepting the service offered, unless the seller announced the service to him a reasonable time in advance had. Furthermore, this does not apply with regard to the shipping costs if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises the right of cancellation, the return shipping costs will be subject to the provisions set out in the seller's cancellation policy.

5.3 In the case of self-collection, the seller first informs the customer by email that the goods he has ordered are ready for collection. After receiving this email, the customer can pick up the goods at the seller's headquarters after consultation with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payment, he reserves ownership of the delivered goods until the purchase price owed and all associated costs and expenses have been paid in full.

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

Unless otherwise stated in the following regulations, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:

7.1 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,

• the seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
• for new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
• in the case of used goods, rights and claims due to defects are excluded;
• the statute of limitations does not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects-

7.2 The limitations of liability and shortening of deadlines regulated above do not apply

• for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the customer,
• in the event that the seller fraudulently concealed the defect,
• for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their normal use and have caused its defects,
• for any obligation of the seller to provide updates for digital products, in contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.

7.3 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing legal recourse claim remain unaffected.

7.4 If the contract is a company-related transaction for both parties within the meaning of Section 343 Paragraph 2 AT-UGB, the customer is subject to the commercial obligation to investigate and report complaints in accordance with Section 377 AT-UGB. If the customer fails to comply with the reporting obligations regulated there, the goods are deemed to have been approved.

7.5 If the customer acts as a consumer, he is asked to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer does not comply with this, this will have no impact on his legal or contractual claims for defects. 

8) Redeeming promotional vouchers

8.1 Vouchers that are issued free of charge by the seller as part of promotions with a specific period of validity and which cannot be purchased by the customer (hereinafter "promotional vouchers") can only be redeemed in the seller's online shop and only in the specified promotional period.

8.2 Individual products may be excluded from the voucher campaign if a corresponding restriction results from the content of the campaign voucher.

8.3 Promotional vouchers can only be redeemed before completing the ordering process. Subsequent billing is not possible.

8.4 Multiple promotional vouchers can be redeemed with one order.

8.5 The value of the goods must be at least equal to the amount of the promotional voucher. Any remaining balance will not be refunded by the seller.

8.6 If the value of the promotional voucher is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the seller can be chosen to pay the difference.

8.7 The balance of a promotional voucher will neither be paid out in cash nor interest.

8.8 The promotional voucher will not be refunded if the customer returns the goods paid for in whole or in part with the promotional voucher within the scope of his statutory right of withdrawal.

8.9 The promotional voucher is only intended for use by the person named on it. A transfer of the promotional voucher to third parties is excluded. The seller is entitled, but not obliged, to check the material eligibility of the respective voucher holder.

9) Applicable Law

The law of the Republic of Austria applies to all legal relationships between the parties, excluding the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law only applies to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his or her habitual residence.

10) Alternative Dispute Resolution

10.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts in which a consumer is involved.

10.2 The seller is neither obliged nor willing to take part in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
