- 1 Scope
- The following General Terms and Conditions apply to legal transactions between I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH and consumers.

This objection shall also apply in the event that the consumer has prescribed a special form for the objection. If an objection is excluded, the statutory provisions shall take the place of contradictory terms and conditions. An acknowledgement of deviating terms and conditions of purchase shall only come into effect if their application has been expressly confirmed in writing by I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH.
- 2 Conclusion of contract
- The offered goods do not represent legally binding offers of I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH according to 145 BGB, but are non-binding invitations to the consumer to place a binding order for goods.
.
- No liability is accepted for the correctness, completeness and up-to-dateness of the texts and illustrations presented. Verbal information provided outside of a written order is non-binding. Texts and illustrations already received are for information purposes only. They are non-binding and do not release the user from his or her own duty of verification.
- By placing an order, the consumer makes a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract.
By placing the order, the consumer assures his solvency and creditworthiness.
By placing the order, the consumer accepts the GTCs. The consumer's offer shall become binding upon receipt by I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH.
- I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH is entitled to accept the consumer's offer within a period of 14 calendar days by sending an order confirmation or by sending the ordered goods. The consumer waives the submission of an express declaration of acceptance. After fruitless expiry of the deadline, the consumer's offer shall be deemed to have been rejected.
- If an ordered product cannot be delivered, I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH reserves the right to offer the consumer an equivalent product in terms of price and quality by sending it to the consumer. The consumer is of course free to accept this offer. Should the offer not be accepted by the consumer, the consumer is requested to return the goods at the risk and expense of I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH.
- If, after the acceptance of the order, justified doubts about the consumer's solvency or creditworthiness arise, I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH is entitled to either make the fulfilment of the contract dependent on an advance payment or the provision of security or to withdraw from the contract.
- 3 Cancellation policy
You have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.The cancellation period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last goods. However, the period does not begin until the contract of sale has become binding on you by your approval of the item purchased.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must clearly inform us (I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH, Europaring 28, 50170 Kerpen) of your withdrawal by letter, fax or e-mail. You can use the following sample withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

Consequences of cancellation:
In the event of an effective cancellation, the services received by both parties must be returned and any benefits derived must be surrendered.
If the services received cannot be returned by the consumer in full or in part or only in a deteriorated condition, the consumer must pay compensation for the loss in value. This does not apply to the surrender of goods if the deterioration of the goods is exclusively due to their inspection - as would have been possible in a shop, for example. In addition, the obligation to pay compensation can be avoided by the consumer not using the goods as if they were his own property and refraining from doing anything that could impair their value.
Goods that can be sent by parcel post are to be returned at the risk of I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH.
The costs of the return shipment are to be borne by the consumer if the delivered goods correspond to the ordered goods and the price of the goods to be returned does not exceed an amount of 40.00 or if, in the case of a higher price of the goods, the consideration or a contractually agreed partial payment has not yet been made at the time of the revocation.

- Claims for rescission of the orderer against I.T. Intertechnik Kerpen GmbH shall only exist insofar as the orderer has not made any agreements with his customer which go beyond the legally mandatory claims for defects.
