- Warranty and guarantees
Applicability of statutory liability for defects
Unless expressly agreed otherwise below, the statutory liability for defects applies.
The following restrictions and shortening of time limits do not apply to claims based on damages caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents
- in case of injury to life, body or health
- in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or malice
- in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations)
- within the framework of a guarantee promise, if agreed, or
- insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is open.
Restrictions on consumers
When consumers buy used goods, the following applies: if the defect occurs after one year from delivery of the goods, claims for defects are excluded. Defects that occur within one year from delivery of the goods can be claimed within the statutory limitation period of two years from delivery of the goods.
Restrictions on entrepreneurs
For businesses, only our own information and the manufacturer's product descriptions that have been included in the contract are deemed to be an agreement regarding the quality of the goods; we accept no liability for public statements made by the manufacturer or other advertising statements. For businesses, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured items is one year from the transfer of risk. The sale of used goods is made without any warranty. The statutory limitation periods for the recourse claim according to Section 445a of the German Civil Code remain unaffected.
Regulations for merchants
Among merchants, the obligation to inspect and give notice of defects as set out in Section 377 of the German Commercial Code applies. If you fail to give notice as set out there, the goods are deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not apparent during the inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.
Warranties and customer service
Information on any additional guarantees that may apply and their exact terms and conditions can be found on the product itself and on special information pages in the online store.

- in the case of guarantee promises, if agreed, or
- insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is open.
In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, the liability is limited to the amount of damage foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded, the occurrence of which must typically be expected.
Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.
