Standard Business Terms and customer information

I. Standard business terms

§ 1 Basic provisions

(1) The following business terms are applicable to all the contracts, which you conclude with us as a supplier (IPS Karton.eu GmbH & Co. KG) via the www.karton.eu website. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the inclusion, if necessary, of your own conditions is ruled out.

(2)  A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products  .

(2) As soon as you place the respective product on our website, we shall submit to you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping cart system under the conditions specified in the item description.

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods  intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping cart". You can call up the "shopping cart" using the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After clicking the button "Checkout" or "Proceed to order" (or similar designation) and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed to you as an order overview.
 
If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort, giropay) as your payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or forwarded to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
If you are forwarded to the relevant instant payment system, choose and/or enter your data as appropriate. Finally, on the website of the provider of the instant payment system or, after you have been directed back to our online shop, the order data will be displayed as an order overview.
 
Before submitting the order, you have the option once more to review or change (you may also use the "Back" button on your web browser) any information on the order summary page, or to cancel the purchase.
By sending the order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order with obligation to pay", "pay" / "pay now" or similar designation) you declare the legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.

(4) You are not bound by your enquiries regarding the creation of an offer that have been conveyed to us. We supply you with a textual and binding offer (e.g. via e-mail), which you can accept within a period of 5 days.

(5) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.

§ 3 Individually-designed products

(1) You provide us with the appropriate information, text or data necessary to customise the goods via the online ordering system or via E-mail without undue delay after concluding the contract. Any potential specifications that we may issue regarding file formats are to be borne in mind.

(2) You are obligated to ensure that you do not transfer data whose contents violate the rights of external parties (especially copyrights, rights to names and trademark rights) or break existing laws. You explicitly free us from any and all claims related to this matter that may be raised by external parties. This also applies to the costs associated with any legal representation that may become necessary in this regard.
 
(3) We do not check the transferred data for textual accuracy. In this respect, we assume no liability for errors.
 
(4) Insofar as is specified in the quote, we will send you a revised submission which must be checked by you without delay. If you approve of the design, you are to approve the correction template for execution through a counter-signature in text format (e.g. e-mail).
Tasks related to the creation of the product in question are not carried out without your approval.
You are responsible for checking the correction template for accuracy and completeness and bringing any potential errors to our attention. We assume no liability for unqueried errors.


§ 4 Special agreements related to the offered payment methods

(1) Validity check
If we pay in advance, e.g. when paying an invoice or a debit note, your data will be forwarded to
CRIF GmbH, Leopoldstraße 244, 80807 München, for a validity check using a mathematical-statistic process in order to safeguard our authorised interests. We reserve the right to reject the mode of payment of an invoice or debit note on the basis of the results of the validity check.

(2) Payment by SOFORT / Immediate transfer
If you choose the payment method Sofort / immediate transfer, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider Sofort GmbH (Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich, Germany; "SOFORT"). Sofort GmbH is a company of the Klarna Group (Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden). In order to use the SOFORT payment method, you are required to have an online banking account that has been activated for this purpose. In the course of the payment process as part of the order, you must legitimise yourself accordingly and confirm the payment order to SOFORT. Your bank account will be debited immediately after the order has been placed. You can find more information about SOFORT at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.


(3) SEPA direct debit
When paying by SEPA direct debit, you authorize us by issuing a corresponding SEPA mandate to collect the invoice amount from the specified account.

The debit note is collected within a period of  14 days after the conclusion of the contract.
The deadline for the sending of the pre-notification has been shortened to 5 days before the due date. You are obligated to ensure that the account in question possesses sufficient covering funds on the due date. If a return debit note comes into play on account of a situation in which you defaulted on your obligation, you have to pay the incidental bank charge.

(4) Payment via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout"
If you select a payment method offered via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout", the payment will be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg; "PayPal"). The individual payment methods via "PayPal" will be displayed to you under a correspondingly designated button on our Internet presence as well as in the online ordering process. "PayPal" may use other payment services for payment processing; if special payment conditions apply, you will be informed of these separately. You can find more information on "PayPal" at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full.


(5) Payment via "Mollie"
If you select a payment method offered via "Mollie", the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Mollie B.V. (Keizersgracht 313, 1016 EE Amsterdam, The Netherlands; "Mollie").
The individual payment methods via "Mollie" will be displayed to you under a correspondingly designated button on our website as well as in the online ordering process. "Mollie" may use other payment services for payment processing; if special payment conditions apply, you will be informed of these separately. You can find more information about "Mollie" at https://www.mollie.com/de.

§ 5 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights

(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.

(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:

a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.

b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.


§ 6 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.

(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.

(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
 
§ 7 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction

(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers 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 customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).

(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, 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. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.

(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

Sales contract conditions for custom-made products

1. General

The customer declares that he has acquired all copyrights and trademark rights, rights for slogans, names or pictures of persons required for the use in the ordered products. Their use by the company IPS Karton.eu GmbH & Co. KG does not violate any trade breaches and is not unfair competition. The customer assures that the content and form of the ordered goods do not infringe the rights of third parties. The Customer shall bear the individual liability for the infringement of these rights, in particular intellectual property rights, which have arisen through the use in an ordered product of an element supplied by the Customer.

2. Quantity deviations

2a. Custom made cartons

We reserve the right to make additional or short deliveries of 10 % in the case of custommade boxes, which also apply to replacement deliveries.

However, only the quantity actually delivered will be invoiced.

2b. Printed adhesive tape

We reserve the right to make addtional or short deliveries of 15 % in the case of custommade adhesive tapes, which also apply to replacement deliveries.

However, only the quantity actually delivered will be invoiced.

3. Special direct costs

Clichés, punching tools or other individual costs are invoiced separately and only calculated at pure costs. The supplier takes care of the necessary maintenance, repairs or minor changes. The supplier is only liable for these materials in case of intent or gross negligence. The customer does not acquire any entitlement to property or acquisition of possession. After a storage period of 2 years after the last order, the material will be sorted out and destroyed for storage reasons.

4. Print approval & processing fees

For printed custom-made products (adhesive tape, cardboard boxes), the customer receives a digital layout in advance. From the 4th layout a handling fee of 15 € will be charged. Only after written confirmation and print approval of the design by the customer will the order be released for production. It is expressly pointed out that we cannot assume any costs for incorrect and new production in the event of incorrect approval for printing.

5. Digital printing

In digital printing, environmentally friendly water-based ink is used without chemical strengthening agents. These inks are not suitable for contact with water and moisture. When you receive the final artwork, you will receive information as to whether the digital printing process is being used to print your cardboard boxes.

Please notice that the boxes are printed afterwards. These are our standard boxes and not a printed custom-made product. Due to structure of the wave and because they are made from recycled material, there may be slight fluctuations in the print quality e.g. fine print stops, fine ink stops and differences in colour intensity in the case of full-surface printing. Unfortunately, no complaints can be accepted for this after delivery.

6. Cancellation fees for custom-made products

Cancelling an unprinted custom-made product after more than 3 working days will result in cancellation/expense costs of 50% of the order value.

Cancellation is no longer possible after the goods have been completed.

Printed cardboard boxes can no longer be cancelled after 3 working days.

7. Warranty and guarantee conditions

No liability is assumed for warranted or expected properties and applications by the customer.

If samples are sent to the customer for inspection in advance, no warranty claims against the supplier can be derived from minor deviations here either.

7a. Printed adhesive tape

For quality defects (e.g. tape tears when unrolled or sticks poorly) we guarantee a 6-month warranty from delivery date. A prerequisite for this is that the adhesive tapes are stored and used at room temperature.

Every adhesive tape delivered by the seller has an end flap that allows an easy unrolling of the tape. Due to technical reasons, it is possible that there is a defect or improper placement of the end flaps in a maximum of 5 % of the delivery. If the defect affects less than 5 % of the delivery, this cannot be a reason for filing a claim. The vertical print image shift with +/- 2 mm is within the tolerance range.

With Silent PP 28 my (PP quiet) 144 rolls with ground colour brown or transparent, quiet unrolling cannot be guaranteed.

7b. Cardboard boxes

Minor deviations are dimensional tolerances of 2 % or max. 6 mm.

For folding box with adhesive flap, a gap dimension of up to 6 mm is within the tolerance range.

A temperature of 19-23 °C and a relative humidity of 55-65 % is recommended for storing cardboard boxes. We cannot assume any warranty for defects due to deviating storage.
