3.4. The seller then sends the customer an automatic confirmation of the receipt by e-mail, in which the customer’s order is listed again and the customer can print using the ‘print’ (order confirmation) button. The automated confirmation of receipt only documents that the customer’s order is received by the Seller and does not constitute acceptance of the request. The purchase contract is concluded only when the seller sends the ordered product in 2 days to the customer, hands over or dispatches it to the customer within 2 days with a second e-mail, or has confirmed the express order confirmation or has sent the invoice.
3.5. Should the seller provide advance payment, the contract comes into effect when banking information has been sent and payment request has been established. After the seller sends the order confirmation, if the payment has not been received, despite being in arrears, even after a second notice has been sent within 10 calendar days, the seller withdraws from the contract because the order was null and void and the seller has no delivery obligations. The order is then settled for the buyer and seller with no other consequences. Therefore, reserving an article with advance payments can only take place for a maximum of 10 calendar days.

5.2. If the product is temporarily not available, the seller shall inform the customer immediately in the order confirmation. For a delivery delay of more than two weeks, the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract. Incidentally, the seller also is entitled to withdraw from the contract in this case. Here, the seller will immediately refund the customer. If an advance payment has been agreed, delivery is made after receipt of the invoiced amount.

6. Payment arrangements

6.1. The customer can choose from the available payment methods within and before the order process.
6.2. If third-party providers are charged with payment processing, e.g. Paypal. their terms and conditions apply.

If you opt for the ‘Purchase by Invoice’ payment method then the invoice amount must be paid to our external partner BillPay GmbH  . within the payment term mentioned on the invoice (20 or 30 calendar days after the date of the invoice). The ‘Purchase by Invoice’ payment method is not available for all offers and depends on, inter alia, a successful credit check conducted by BillPay.
If you qualify for the ‘Purchase by Invoice payment method we transfer the payment claim after completion of the sales contract concluded with you to BillPay. After the said transfer discharge from your payment obligation is only possible by paying to BillPay. However, we do remain your first point of contact and we also remain responsible for your questions with regard to the purchased products, including the delivery period, shipment, returns and complaints or credit notes. In connection with the payment of the invoice the General Terms and Conditions of BillPay are applicable.

6.4. Direct debit authorisation; administrative charges in case of chargebacks

By agreeing to the direct debit you declare and confirm that you are authorised to dispose of the bank or giro account specified by you and that you provide for sufficient balance on the bank or giro account specified by you. If your bank or giro account does not dispose of the required balance then you cannot be discharged from your payment obligation and you fail to comply with your obligations vis-à-vis BillPay and you are in default, without a further notice of default being required.

(b) The ‘Purchase by Direct Debit’ payment method is not available for all offers and depends on, inter alia, a successful credit check conducted by BillPay and a Dutch bank or giro account. If you qualify for the ‘Purchase by Direct Debit’ payment method then we transfer the claim on the basis on the sales contract concluded with you to BillPay. After the said transfer discharge from your payment obligation is only possible by paying to BillPay.

(c) By agreeing to the direct debit you declare and confirm that you are authorised to dispose of the relevant bank and giro account and that you provide for sufficient balance on the bank or giro account specified by you.

BillPay will send you a first demand and charge administrative charges to you. If you remain in default after the said first demand then BillPay will charge all reasonable costs to obtain satisfaction, both in and out of court, and from the moment that you are in default you are also liable to pay statutory interest. Partial payments are not effectuated via the direct debit procedure. Chargebacks take up a great deal of time and result in high costs for BillPay. In case of a chargeback (failing sufficient balance on the bank or giro account, due to closing of the bank or giro account or due to an unjustified objection filed by the account holder) or otherwise you authorise BillPay to resubmit the direct debit for the relevant eligible payment obligation. As the occasion arises you are held to compensate BillPay for the costs associated with the chargeback. BillPay reserves the right to also claim other damages. In connection with costs associated with the chargeback, in case of rescission or otherwise termination of the sales contract, a return or a complaint, we request that you do not object to the direct debit. As the occasion arises the repayment of the amount paid by you takes place after consultation with the merchant.

6.5. If the due date of the payment is determined according to the calendar, the customer is already in default by default of the appointment. In this case, the customer has to pay default interest of 5 percentage points above the base rate.
6.6. The obligation of the customer to pay default interest does not exclude the assertion of further damages by the seller.
6.7. The customer is only entitled to offset if his counterclaims have been legally established or recognized by the seller. The customer can only exercise a right of retention if the claims result from the same contractual relationship.
