Terms and Conditions of Waterbird Systems GmbH

§ 1 Definitions

§ 2 Applicability

The business relationship between Waterbird and the client of the online store is exclusively governed by the following General Terms and Conditions in the version applicable at the time of purchase. Divergent agreements are only valid with the explicit written agreement of Waterbird.

§ 3 Conclusion of the Contract

  1. Waterbird’s internet pages only represent a sales brochure. By presenting products on the internet pages, Waterbird is only inviting the client to issue offers of purchase (orders). Any order acceptance communicated by Waterbird via email thereafter does not yet lead to a contract of sale.
  2. A sales contract only comes into existence with the sending of our confirmation of order, usually within three working days following receipt of the order or at the latest with the delivery of the goods, which then constitutes an acceptance on the part of Waterbird of the offer to buy.
  3. When ordering from our online shop, the ordering process involves several steps. In the first step, the client chooses the desired product. In the second step, he/she provides his/her client details, including an invoicing address and, as the case may be, a different delivery address. In the third step, he/she chooses how to pay. In the last step, all entries (e.g. name, address, payment method, article ordered) can be checked and corrected if necessary, before the order is sent to us by clicking on the order button.
  4. The delivery of goods will only take place in small lots. Waterbird will not accept any orders from clients who have not yet reached the age of 18.
  5. In any case, Waterbird retains the right to refuse to conclude the contract without providing any reasons. Waterbird will inform the client immediately in such a case.
