§3 Conclusion of Contract
Our offers are subject to confirmation and are non-binding. The presentations on our websites represent as such no legally binding offer. You can order from us by phone, via our website (Internet), or by fax. When ordering via our website in the E-shop, by clicking on the button “buy now" you will issue a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the desired goods. Also, in the case of your order by phone or by fax, you make a binding offer by sending the fax or by issuing an order orally.
We are entitled to accept your offer within 5 calendar days by sending a confirmation of the contract (by post or email), as well as by carrying out the order. If your offer is not accepted by us within 5 calendar days, the offer shall be deemed to be rejected. No contract is concluded for products that are not listed in the order confirmation.
§4 Delivery
We ship goods to you domestically which are in stock no later than 1-5 working days after conclusion of the contract via DHL GoGreen. In the case of payment in advance, delivery times shall extend from the date of receipt of payment in our account. Differing delivery times shall be specified in the context of the item description.
Goods shipped from outside the Federal Republic of Germany and within Europe which are available are normally delivered within 5-14 working days. For shipments to non-European countries, the delivery time depends on the type of shipping (airmail / overland / maritime) and the location of the recipient.
If you order a product that was available in accordance with the article description, and we have not been supplied with this product from our suppliers with no fault of our own, we may withdraw from the contract. In this case, we will inform you immediately and, if applicable, suggest an alternative similar product. If no comparable product is available, or you do not want delivery of a comparable product, we will refund any amounts which have already been paid without delay. The right to withdraw from the contract shall also apply in this case.
We are entitled to make partial shipments and/or services, as far as this does not affect any conflict of interests unreasonably. Should a partial delivery become necessary, we shall, of course, accept the additional shipping costs. No further costs shall arise for you.
The delivery time is extended appropriately if the delivery is affected by a force majeure situation. Force majeure shall be deemed to be, for example, subsequent material procurement difficulties, riot, strike, lockout, malfunction, fire, natural disasters, transportation disruptions, change to the statutory provisions, official measures or regulations or the occurrence of other unforeseeable events, which are beyond our control and which - taking an objective point of view – have not been caused by any culpable conduct on our part. Should one of the above described cases arise, we shall inform you immediately. If this hindrance to performance should last longer than four weeks, you are entitled to withdraw from the contract. In this case, further claims, in particular for damages, do not exist. This does not apply as far as in cases of wilful intent or gross negligence, in case of assurances, or due to breach of essential contractual obligations caused by simple negligence or if compulsory liability applies in foreseeable damage typical for contracts for legal reasons, due to mandatory liability.

In the event of default, we are entitled to charge interest at the rate of 5 percentage points above the respective base interest rate for the year. In the case of legal transactions, in which a consumer is not involved, we reserve the right to demand interest on compensation claims in the event of default at a rate of 8 percentage points above the base interest rate. We reserve the right to prove higher default losses caused by delay and to assert § 288 para. 3, 4 BGB.

All payments are to be made without deductions to Social Fashion Company GmbH. A payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the amount is freely available to us.
A set-off shall be excluded, unless the set-off claim is undisputed or has been legally established or acknowledged by us in writing. You can only exercise a right of retention insofar as the claims arise from the same contractual relationship. Exclusions do not apply if a counter-claim is made which emerges from a justified non-cash claim from a refusal of performance, or asserted rights due to a deficiency.
General discount clause:
a) discount codes cannot be taken into account in hindsight, unfortunately.
b) discount codes do not apply for reduced articles.
§9 Warranty & Liability
Warranty shall be dependent upon the statutory provisions. In case of a complaint, we ask for proof of the purchase date by means of the invoice and sending the article complained about together with a copy of the invoice to the Social Fashion Company GmbH, Thebäerstr 17, 50823 Cologne. Normal wear and tear of the goods do not justify a warranty claim.
The right to subsequent fulfilment as well as the right to withdraw from the contract or to reduce the purchase price shall be available to the extent provided by law.
We assume no liability for damage and defects that arise from improper use, handling and storage, negligent or faulty care and maintenance, by overuse or improper repair by a non-authorized service partner.
The warranty period for entrepreneurs is reduced to 1 year for defects, if there is no case for compelling liability, as in particular envisaged by § 478 BGB. Claims for compensation shall also remain unaffected by the shorter limitation period.
If the customer is an entrepreneur, he has to inspect the services provided immediately after delivery, as far as possible according to proper business procedures, and, if a deficiency becomes evident, to notify us of this immediately. If the customer fails to make this notification, the performance shall be deemed as approved, unless there is a defect which was not visible during the inspection. If such a defect becomes evident later on, the notification must be made immediately after discovery of the defect. Otherwise, the performance shall be considered approved, also in the light of this defect. In order to preserve the rights of the customer, the timely dispatch of the notification shall suffice. The rules on the obligation to give notification shall not apply if a defect has been fraudulently concealed or the customer is a consumer.
Further claims, in particular for consequential damage, shall be fundamentally excluded. This does not apply in cases of intent, gross negligence or breach of essential contractual obligations by us, as well as in the case of injury to life, body or health. Your legal right to withdraw from the contract remains unaffected. Essential contractual obligations are those, the fulfilment of which allows the proper execution of the contract to be possible at all, and upon whose compliance you can regularly trust and can rely on.
The risk of incidental loss and incidental deterioration of goods for sales shipments shall pass to you or a recipient chosen by you with the delivery of the goods. If you are not a consumer, and have not purchased the goods only for private use, the risk of incidental loss and incidental deterioration of the goods shall pass to you upon delivery to the responsible person for shipment.
We exclude our liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty, provided that no essential contractual duties, damages arising from injury to life, body or health, or guarantees, or claims under the Product Liability Act are affected. The same applies to breaches of duty by our vicarious agents. In the case of damage caused in any other way, we are liable for intent and gross negligence, also for our vicarious agents, according to the statutory provisions. The same applies to negligent damage from injury to life, body or health. For damage to property and pecuniary loss, we and our vicarious agents are only liable for negligence caused by a breach of an essential contractual obligation, however the amount is limited to damage which is foreseeable upon conclusion of and typical for contracts. Essential contractual obligations are those, the fulfilment of which characterises the contract and upon which the customer can rely on.
§10 Care
Please take note of the washing instructions, which you can find on the labels of the articles. If care instructions are not properly followed, modifications to the products have been made or care materials are used which we have discouraged, and/or were explicitly declared by us as non-compatible with the purchased item, or do not meet the minimum average quality claim, no warranty shall be granted.
§11 Reservation of title
The delivered goods shall remain in our ownership until full payment has been made. If you come in arrears with the purchase price payment, we have the right to withdraw from the contract and to demand the surrender of the goods which have not yet been paid. You are obligated to handle the goods which have not yet been paid with care.
§12 Data Protection, Advertising via Email
We adhere strictly to the privacy laws. You agree to the storage, processing and use of personal data you have submitted by your order according to the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) for processing your order. We will save your order and address data for use in the context of order processing (including transmission to the order processing or shipping partner used), for any warranty claims and product recommendations to customers in accordance with the content of our privacy policy and the applicable laws on data protection. Here you can find our privacy policy as well as our Cookie policy.

You have the right to information, as well as under certain circumstances a right to correction, freezing/blocking and deletion of your data stored in our systems.
Furthermore, you have a right to object to the processing or use of your personal data for advertising purposes or for market and opinion research, as well as for the trade with addresses and commercial data processing.

This does not apply if legislation entitles or obliges this collection, processing or use of data.
Furthermore, you basically still have the right to revoke a previously granted consent to collect, process and use your personal data at any time with effect for the future.

§15 Applicable Law
For all disputes arising from or as a result of this agreement, the law of the Federal Republic of Germany will apply under exclusion of the UN Sales Convention. The legal regulations on the restriction of the choice of law and the applicability of mandatory provisions of in particular the State in which the customer as a consumer is ordinarily resident, shall remain unaffected.
The place of jurisdiction for all claims arising from or due to this business relationship, including those from bills of exchange and cheques, is Cologne, insofar as you are a merchant in the sense of the commercial law, i.e. not a consumer. In this case, we are also entitled to sue at the court of jurisdiction responsible for your company headquarters.
§16 Final Provisions
Even if individual conditions should be or become invalid, the contract shall remain binding in its other parts. Should a provision be wholly or partially ineffective, the Contracting Parties shall endeavour to achieve without delay the desired economic success despite the invalid provision in another legally permitted way.
§17 Extra-judicial resolution per VSBG
As of February 2017, a new regulation in the German law regarding alternative dispute regulation pertaining to consumers (VSBG) comes into effect. It provides that every consumer has the right to appeal to an extrajudicial arbitration board regarding disputes over a consumer contract if an amicable agreement between commercial entity and consumer cannot be found. Whether the commercial entity is obligated to participate in the extrajudicial dispute resolution is stipulated in the law.
We hereby explicitly declare according to § 36 (1) No. 1 VSBG that we are not obligated to and therefore not willing to participate in an extrajudicial dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration service (VSBG).
