Terms of Condition

General terms and conditions and consumer protection for customer orders with respect to the online shop managed by Florian P. Meyer, working as a freelancer under the name “Financial Career” (“the Vendor”) and the customers (“the Client”).

§1 Scope and General Remarks

(1) Subject to any individual agreements and negotiations which are superior to these general terms and conditions, the general terms and conditions apply exclusively for the entire business relationship between the Vendor and the Client. Unless anything else has been agreed with the Client, the inclusion of the Client’s individual terms shall not apply.

(2) The Client is a retail customer to the extent the products or services rendered by the Vendor cannot be attributed to his commercial or self-employment activities. In contrast, the Client is a professional customer (including natural and legal persons) who acts via his order for the purpose of his commercial or self-employment activities.

§2 Signing of Contracts

(1) The contract is signed with:

Financial Career
Florian P. Meyer
Jägerstraße 14
D-51645 Gummersbach

(2) The general characteristics of the products or services sold can be inferred from the product description provided by the Vendor.

(3) The entire offering in the Vendor’s online shop shall only constitute a non-binding offer to the Client to make the Vendor a purchase proposal. Once the Vendor received an order from the Client, the Vendor will first provide an order confirmation to the Client (usually via e-mail on the same day). This order confirmation does not constitute an acceptance of the purchase proposal by the Vendor. The contract will be separately confirmed by the Vendor to the Client. The order process of the workshop works as follows:

(4) The Client can select products and services and collect them in a virtual cart by pressing the button „Add to cart“. Via clicking on “Add to cart”, the Client will be available to have on overview on any products or services selected by him. By pressing the button “Purchase”, the Client makes a binding purchase proposal to the Vendor for all products and services in the virtual cart. Before placing a binding order, the Client can by using the “back” and “forward” functions of this browser (typically shown as arrows) or the online shop’s corresponding functions change the products and services included in his cart and also review and change any information entered. The order can only be placed if the Client confirms by ticking the respective box via a click that these general terms and conditions will apply and thus become part of the contract signed between the Client and the Vendor. The Vendor will provide an automatic receipt confirmation for the order in which the order will be outlined again and which can be printed by the Client. This automatic notice only confirms that the order has been received by the Vendor and does not constitute the signing of a contract or an acceptance of the order by the Vendor. The contract will only be signed via a separate notice (usually via a separate email) of the Vendor on the acceptance of the purchase proposal made by the Client.

§ 3 Object of Agreement, Nature of Products and Services, Delivery, Availability of Products and Services

(1) Subject of the contract are the specified products and services selected by the Client which are listed in the order confirmation and which are sold at the prices shown in the online shop.

Technical information such as weight, size or performance descriptions are generally made by the Vendor as precise as possible but can be subject to typical deviations. The characteristics described here do not constitute a deficiency of the products or services sold by the Vendor.

(3) If at the time of the order no products or services are on stock, the Vendor will notice the Client immediately. If the product or service is permanently not available, the Vendor with reject the Client’s order. No contract is agreed between the Vendor and the Client in this case.

(4) If the product or service ordered by the Client is only temporarily not available, the Vendor will give notice to the Client accordingly via the confirmation of the receipt of the order. In case of any delivery delays in excess of two weeks, the Client is entitled to cancel the contract. Additionally, the Vendor is entitled to cancel the contract at any time for any reason. In this case the Vendor has to fully refund any payments already made by the Client immediately.
