General Terms and Conditions of Business (T&Cs)


Agreed between:
 
Blaser Group GmbH
Address: Blaser Group GmbH, Ziegelstadel 1, 88316 Isny im Allgäu
represented by the management comprising Dr. Jens Uwe Drowatzky and Matthias Klotz
- referred to as the “supplier” hereinafter -
 
and
 
every natural person or legal entity that makes offers or concludes contracts, or both,
as a consumer or businessman via the platform of www.shop.sauer.de
- referred to as the “customer” hereinafter –

Section 1 Scope and definitions of terms
(1) The version of the following General Terms and Conditions of Business, which is valid at the point in time when the purchase order is placed, applies solely to the business relationship between the supplier and the customer. The customer’s diverging terms and conditions will not be recognized unless the supplier expressly consents to their validity in writing.
(2) The customer is the consumer, insofar as the purpose of the ordered supplies and ser-vices cannot be ascribed to his commercial or independent professional activity (Article 13 of the German Civil Code). On the other hand, the businessman is any natural person or legal entity, or legally competent association without an independent legal existence (i.e., an unin-corporated firm or partnership), which acts by means of exercising its commercial or inde-pendent professional activity when concluding the contract (Article 14 of the German Civil Code).

Section 2 Conclusion of contract
(1) The customer can choose various products from the supplier’s assortment, especially thermal optics and accessories, (referred to collectively as “products” hereinafter) and he can pick these products via the “In the shopping basket” button. He places a binding order for buying the goods that the shopping basket contains via the “Order with obligatory payment” button. The customer can alter and examine the data at any time before sending off the purchase order. However, the order can only be placed and transmitted if the customer accepts these contractual conditions by means of placing a tick against the field of choice entitled “Accept the General Terms and Conditions of Business” and he has incorporated them in his order as a result. The General Terms and Conditions of Business can be called up via a hyperlink before placing the tick; they can also be stored as a pdf data file or printed out, or both. The same rule applies to the information about any right of cancellation that could exist.
(2) The supplier then sends an automatic acknowledgement of order by e-mail to the customer, in which the customer’s purchase order can be called up again and which the customer can confirm via the function of “Print out the acknowledgement of order now”. The automatic acknowledgement of order (called the “acknowledgement of order”) merely documents that the customer’s order has been received by the supplier; it does not represent any acceptance of the order. The contract will only materialize by means of the supplier declaring the acceptance (called the “acceptance of order”), which is sent by a separate e-mail one day at the latest after forwarding the acknowledgement of or-der.
(3) The customer has the possibility of recognizing and correcting any input mistakes as follows, be-fore issuing the contractual declaration. The customer can alter his personal data via the “Alter” button on the “Check and order” page before concluding the contract. It is also possible to alter the number of articles and to delete the articles via buttons.

Section 3 Place and time of delivery
Deliveries are only possible to delivery addresses within the European Union.. Deliveries to any other countries are subject to prior feasibility check. (2) The periods of delivery that we quote are calculated from the point in time when our confirmation of order is sent and they are quoted for the respective article on the online shop’s home page.

Section 4 Reservation of title
The delivered goods remain in the supplier’s ownership until the customer has paid for them in full.

Section 5 Prices and shipment costs
(1) All of the prices that are quoted on the supplier’s website are understood to include the respective-ly valid rate of statutory turnover tax.
(2) The supplier charges an all-inclusive despatch cost per purchase order in Euro, as follows:

All import duties and additional taxes have to be paid by the customer additionaly. Please consult your local customs agencies for further information
The corresponding shipment costs are permanently displayed on the home page before the purchase ordering operation begins; they are also quoted on the purchase ordering form in addition and the customer must pay them, insofar as the customer does not make use of his right of objection.  Or-ders increasing an amount of EUR 100 are delivered within the EU free of any shipment costs.

(3) The goods are despatched by the postal service. The supplier bears the risk of despatch whenev-er the customer is a consumer. The delivery will be made EXW (ex-works) from the supplier’s place of business if the customer is a businessman. (Incoterms 2020).
(4) Products that cannot normally be despatched by post on account of their size or weight (e.g., weapon cabinets) are despatched by a haulage contractor. The following all-inclusive despatch rates apply per consignment in these cases.
€ 300 for delivery by a haulage contractor to Germany
€ 600 for delivery by a haulage contractor to Austria or Switzerland
Shipment Costs for other countries upon request.
(5) The import customs clearance (i.e. importduties and importtaxes) in the country of destination are borne by the customer. 

Section 6 Proof of age in the case of purchasing weapons or alcoholic beverages/ banned goods
(1) The weapons or alcoholic beverages that are offered on our portal at www.shop.sauer.de are only allowed to be issued to natural persons who are at least 18 years old. Therefore, these products can only be sold and delivered solely within the Federal Republic of Germany in return for proof by means of a certificate or in return for submitting an official confirmation that the purchaser is at least 18 years old. The type of despatch like ‘DHL recorded delivery’ ensures that the despatch will actually be received solely by the identity card’s holder and only via the postal service after the proof of age has been provided.
(2) All of the products that we offer are freely saleable and they are not subject to any duty of notifi-cation.
(3) All of the products that are labelled with the clear advice of “Proof of age” or “available only to holders of a  special BKA license” or “available only to holders of a license to acquire a weapon” in the respective offer’s text on the portal at www.shop.sauer.de (weapons, alcohol, special kinds of night vison devices for example) will only be issued by the supplier to persons who are over 18 years of age or holders of a special license issued by German Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) or holders of a li-cense to acquire a weapon (e.g. hunting license, and/or weapon owners license).. We require an offi-cial certificate of age and/or identity or the proof of a special license issued by BKA or your license to acquire a gun from you with the first purchase order. Therefore, the customer is obligated within the framework of the first purchase order to send us a copy of the identity card (front and back sides) or passport which he has signed personally. Sending of a scanned copy (.jpg or .pdf file) by e-mail to shop@sauer.de is possible. The proof of age will only be required for confirming and establishing the date of birth or the customer’s age once and in connection with the proof; then the supplier will destroy the copy immediately. The provisions about data protection apply according to Article 11. If a diverging delivery address is requested, then the supplier will require the recipient’s proof of age. It is impossible to deliver to a packing station or a parcel shop.
The purchase of products requiring a special license issued by BKA customer is forced to provide the original of such special license prior to the first order. Same requirement is mandatory when pur-chasing a product requiring a license to acquire a weapon (e.g. hunting license and/or wepon owners license). Provision of a scanned copy is possible but will delay the ordering process by far.
(4) The holder of the identity document or the holder of the special license issued by BKA or the holder of the license to acquire a weapon will actually receive the despatch solely by means of the postal service with the type of despatch like “DHL recorded delivery”.
 
Section 7 Payment terms
(1) The customer has the discretion to choose to pay the supplier for the products solely by cash in advance, payment by PayPal, Klarna or by credit card. If the customer is a businessman, then he can additionally choose an invoice as the means of payment. The arrangements for payment are shown as follows, according to the method of payment that the customer chooses.

Cash in advance
The customer receives an acknowledgement of order first of all, as described above by Article 2 (2). PLEASE DO NOT PAY CASH IN ADVANCE ON ACCOUNT OF THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ORDER! The supplier will deal with the purchase order as quickly as possible. The supplier will then send a corresponding confirmation of order to the customer by e-mail, which includes the supplier’s banking connection, the total amount and the intended purpose. Please only make the cash in advance payment to the supplier after receiving this CONFIRMATION OF ORDER. The supplier will only deliver the goods to the customer after the money has been received completely, in the case of purchase orders that are placed on the basis of cash in advance. The supplier does not make any reservation of the respective product until the payment has been received. If the ordered products have been sold out in the meantime, then the supplier will inform the customer about this matter immediately and refund the payment.

PayPal
Please note: It is only possible to use PayPal payments for orders not increasing an amount of EUR 600,00 if there was no special agreement with supplier prior to issuance of the order.
 
The PayPal type of payment is utilized as follows. The customer will be automatically di-rected to PayPal’s payment form after the purchase order has been received. The cus-tomer can register there as a registered PayPal customer by utilizing the user’s data that is filed with PayPal and then he can make the payment. The customer can certainly choose the PayPal type of payment too, without being a customer of PayPal already. In this case, the customer can register with PayPal as a guest or set up a new PayPal ac-count and then make the payment via PayPal after that.
The supplier will deal with the purchase order as soon as the incoming payment has been booked, in the case that the customer makes a payment by choosing the PayPal system of payment. This procedure is very quick as a rule. However, delays can occur in some cases, which are caused by processing faults or similar malfunctions that depend upon the system that PayPal uses. The supplies does not have any influence on these de-lays and he is not responsible for them.
Please visit www.paypal.com/de for further information.

Credit card
Payment by credit card represents an easy and convenient means of payment. It saves time, unnecessary paths and the c.o.d. fee. It is not necessary to keep the cash ready for the postman if this type of payment is chosen. The customer notifies the card’s 16 digit number to us, as well as the date of expiry and the institute that issued the card (VISA or Mastercard). Please note while doing so that the customer and the card holder must be identical. We will only make the delivery to the credit card holder.

Invoice
We offer the possibility of buying by invoice in our online shop to our customers who are businessmen for the purposes of Article 14 of the German Civil Code, in addition to the aforementioned types of payment. In the case of buying by invoice, you pay the entire in-voiced amount within the period of payment that is given on the invoice after the goods have been despatched. The payment is made by bank transfer to the banking connection that is stated on the invoice. Please do not forget to quote your purchase order number and your customer number as the intended purpose of the bank transfer. We are pointing out expressly that we do not accept either cash or cheques and that we will not accept any liability in the case of loss.

               Sofort

 (3) The purchase price becomes due for payment immediately when the contract is concluded. If the due date for payment is determined according to the calendar, then the customer will already fall into arrears when the deadline is missed. He has to pay the supplier interest on the arrears at the rate of 5 percent above the basic rate in this case.
(4) The customer’s obligation to pay the interest on arrears does not exclude the supplier from assert-ing further damages due to default.

Section 8 Warranty, Guarantee
(1) The supplier is liable for defects according to the legal regulations that apply concerning this matter; especially Article 434 et seq. of the German Civil Code. The liability for compensatory damages is determined solely according to Section 9 of these General Terms and Conditions of Business. The duty of warranty for the products that the supplier delivers as well as for the articles that are used for the delivery is valid for 12 months vis-à-vis a businessman.
(2) In addition to the statutory warranty, the products are covered by a 24-month manufacturer's guar-antee granted by supplier valid from the date of delivery to the customer. The manufacturer's guaran-tee mentioned in sentence 1 is only granted by supplier if the customer has purchased the goods via www.shop.sauer.de
(3) An additional guarantee only exists for the goods which the supplier delivered if this guarantee has been expressly given by supplier in the confirmation of order about the respective article. The agreed quality of the article does not represent any information about a guarantee that the supplier gives vis-à-vis the customer.
 
Section 9 Liability
(1) The customer’s claims to compensatory damages are basically excluded, except for the custom-er’s claims to compensatory damages that arise from injury to life, limb or health, or those which (I) arise from infringing essential contractual duties (cardinal duties), as well as (II) the liability for other damages that are based upon a deliberate or grossly negligent infringement of duty by the supplier, his legal representatives or agents (e.g., sub-contractors). Essential contractual duties (cardinal du-ties) are those duties which must be fulfilled firstly in order for the contract to be implemented at all and which the customer is allowed to trust will be complied with.
(2) In the case of infringing essential contractual duties (cardinal duties), the supplier is only liable for the contractually typical and foreseeable damages whenever these damages have been caused by simple negligence, unless the matter concerns the customer’s claims for compensatory damages arising from an injury to life, limb or health.
(3) The limitations of Paras. 1 and 2 also apply in favour of the supplier’s legal representatives and agents whenever any claims are made against them directly.
(4) The supplier’s liability according to the regulations of the Product Liability Law remains unaffected.
