§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject matter of the agreement is the sale of goods.
Our online product presentations are not binding and do not constitute a binding offer for conclusion of a contract.
(2) The binding purchase agreement takes place via the online shopping cart system as follows: The products intended for purchase are moved to the “shopping cart”. You can select the shopping cart using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time. After calling up the “checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page. Before the order is sent, you can re-check all the data, amend it (which can also be done via the internet browser’s “back” function) or cancel the purchase transaction.
By clicking the “purchase” button to submit the order, you are making us a legally binding offer.
(3) We will accept the order (resulting in conclusion of the contract) in text form (e.g. via e-mail) within a period of two days, confirming the execution of the order or delivery of the goods (confirmation of order). In the event that you do not receive a confirmation e-mail from us, your order is no longer legally binding. Any services which have already been provided will be reimbursed immediately.
(4) The order is processed and all the information required in connection with conclusion of the contract is sent via e-mail in a partly automated process.

§ 4 User License of Download Products
(1)The offered download products are protected by copyright. You will receive a simple user license for each download product purchased from us, unless otherwise stated in the respective item description on the website.
(2) The single user license includes permission to save and/or print a copy of the download product on your computer or other electronic device for your personal use.
Any further copy is prohibited. You are expressly prohibited from modifying or editing a file or any part of it and from making it available in any way to third parties, either privately or commercially.
(3) The use of the tellows services is only permitted for personal use. In the case of above-average usage activity of products for private use (high volume of download and server requests), we reserve the right to block access to the download products.
(4) Commercial use is only permitted for products that are intended exclusively for commercial use (note in the product title). For special conditions for commercial use, please contact our customer service at [email protected].

§ 5 Right of retention, reservation of Title
(1) The customer may exercise a right of retention only if it relates to receivables from the same agreement relationship.
(2) The goods remain the property of the provider until full payment of the purchase price.
(3) ) If you are an entrepreneur, the following conditions also apply:
a) The provider retains ownership of the goods until complete settlement of all receivables from the on-going business relationship. Pledging or assignment as security is not permitted prior to transfer of the ownership to the goods subject to reservation.
b) The customer may resell the goods in the usual course of business. In this case, the customer now assigns all receivables in the amount of the invoice that arise from the resale to the provider accepting the assignment. The customer is also entitled to collect the receivables. If the customer does not meet its payment obligations in an orderly manner, the provider reserves the right to collect the receivables itself.
c) If the goods subject to reservation are combined or mixed, the provider acquires co-ownership of the new item proportional to the invoice value of the goods subject to reservation to the other processed products at the time of processing.
d) The provider undertakes to release the securities to which it is entitled at the customer’s request when the realisable value of the provider’s securities exceeds the receivables to be secured by more than 10 %. The Provider is responsible for selecting the securities to be released.

§ 6 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) If you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply by way of derogation from paragraph 1:
a) Only our own statements and the product description provided by the manufacturer, but not other advertisements, public recommendations and statements issued by the manufacturer, shall be deemed to have been agreed in respect of the condition of the product in question.
b) You undertake to examine the goods promptly, paying due attention to deviations in quality and quantities, and to notify us in writing of apparent defects within 7 days of receipt; timely dispatch will be sufficient for compliance with the deadline. This also applies to hidden defects that are detected at a later stage (from the time of discovery onwards). The assertion of warranty claims will be excluded if the obligation to inspect and give notice of defects is not satisfied.
c) In the case of defects, our warranty covers repair or replacement at our option. If the defect is not remedied at the second attempt, you may demand a reduction in the price or withdraw from the contract at your option. In the case of repair, we do not have to bear the additional costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of fulfilment, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
d) The warranty period shall be one year as of delivery of the product. The shortened warranty period does not apply to losses culpably caused by us which are associated with injury to life, limb or health. Furthermore, it does not apply to losses suffered as a result of gross negligence, intent or malice, or in the case of recourse claims pursuant to §§ 478 and 479 of the German Civil Code (BGB).

§ 7 Liability
(1) We accept unlimited liability for losses associated with injury to life, limb or health, in all cases of intent and gross negligence, if a defect is fraudulently concealed, in the case of assumption of a guarantee for the condition of the purchased object, for losses under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) and in all other cases of statutory liability.
(2) If fundamental contractual obligations are affected, our liability in cases of minor negligence is limited to the foreseeable damages that are typical for the contract. Fundamental contractual obligations are deemed important obligations that result from the nature of the contract and whose violation would jeopardise the fulfilment of the purpose of the contract. The term also covers obligations imposed on us by the contract on the basis of its content with a view to fulfilling its purpose, compliance with which makes the due performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which you may regularly rely.
(3) Liability will be excluded in the case of infringement of insignificant contractual obligations involving minor negligence.
(4) The current state of the art makes it impossible to guarantee that data transmission via the internet will be error-free or permanently available. In this respect, we cannot vouch for the constant and uninterrupted availability of the website and the service offered on the website.

§ 8 Alternative dispute resolution according to Art. 14 Para. 1 ODR-VO and § 36 VSBG
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS), which you can find at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute settlement procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

§ 9 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to consumers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective consumer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer but an entrepreneur, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. This also applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, or if your place of residence or usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. The power to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction shall remain unaffected.
(3)The provisions of the United Nations Convention on contracts for the International Sale of goods explicitly do not apply.
