1. Scope

1.1. The business relationship between pi3g eK, owner: Maximilian Batz, Zschochersche Allee 1, 04207 Leipzig (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") and the customer (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") shall be governed exclusively by the following General Terms and Conditions in the version valid at the time of the order.
1.2. You can reach our customer service for questions, complaints and objections on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM by phone at ++49-(0)89 – 878 069 850 or by email at support [at] pi3g.com.
1.3. A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot be attributed to either their commercial or their independent professional activity (Section 13 of the German Civil Code).
1.4. Deviating terms and conditions of the customer will not be accepted unless the seller expressly agrees to their validity in writing.
1.5. Notwithstanding the following provisions, orders containing more than one "Pi Zero W" or "Pi Zero" board (SKU b-pzw-board and any additional SKUs at the seller's discretion) are invalid at the seller's discretion and may be canceled by the seller at any time, even if an order confirmation has already been sent via the automated system. In this case, the money will be refunded. For prepayment, please send us your bank details via email for the refund.

2. Offers and service descriptions

2.1. The presentation of products in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather an invitation to place an order. Descriptions of services in catalogs and on the seller's websites do not constitute a warranty or guarantee.
2.2. All offers are valid "while stocks last," unless otherwise stated for the products. Errors excepted.

3. Ordering process and conclusion of contract

3.1. The customer can select products from the seller's range without obligation and collect them in a so-called shopping cart by clicking on the "Add to cart" button.
3.2 The customer can then complete the order process by clicking on the “Continue to checkout” button in the shopping cart.
3.3. By clicking the "Buy" button, the customer submits a binding offer to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. The customer can edit and review the data at any time before submitting the order. Required information is marked with an asterisk (*).
3.4. The seller will then send the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by email, which lists the customer's order again and which the customer can print using the "Print" function (order confirmation). The automatic confirmation of receipt merely documents that the customer's order has been received by the seller and does not constitute acceptance of the order. The purchase contract is only concluded when the seller ships or hands over the ordered product to the customer within two days, or confirms shipment to the customer within two days with a second email, express order confirmation, or sending the invoice.
3.5. If the seller allows payment in advance, the contract is concluded upon the provision of the bank details and the payment request. If payment is not received by the seller within 10 calendar days of the order confirmation being sent, even after a further request, the seller will withdraw from the contract, with the result that the order is void and the seller is not obligated to deliver. The order is then completed for both the buyer and the seller without further consequences. Therefore, the item will be reserved for a maximum of 10 calendar days in the case of advance payment.

4. Prices and shipping costs

4.1. All prices stated on the Seller's website include the applicable statutory value-added tax.
4.2. In addition to the stated prices, the Seller shall charge shipping costs for delivery. The shipping costs will be clearly communicated to the Buyer on the shipping costs page and during the ordering process.

5. Delivery, availability of goods

5.1. If no copies of the selected product are available at the time the customer places their order, the seller will inform the customer of this in the order confirmation. If the product is permanently unavailable, the seller will refrain from accepting the order. In this case, no contract will be concluded.
5.2. If the product specified by the customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, the seller will also inform the customer of this immediately in the order confirmation. In the event of a delivery delay of more than two weeks, the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract. Furthermore, in this case, the seller is also entitled to terminate the contract. In such a case, the seller will promptly refund any payments already made by the customer. If advance payment has been agreed, delivery will take place upon receipt of the invoice amount.

6. Terms of payment

6.1. The customer can choose from the available payment methods during and before completing the order process.
6.2. If payment by invoice is possible, payment must be made within 14 days of receipt of the goods and the invoice. For all other payment methods, payment must be made in advance without deduction. Payment by invoice is granted to business customers and public institutions upon request and at the discretion of the seller.
6.3. If third parties are commissioned to process payments, e.g. Paypal, their general terms and conditions apply.
6.4. If the payment due date is determined by the calendar, the customer shall be in default simply by missing the due date. In this case, the customer shall pay default interest at a rate of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate.
6.5. The Customer's obligation to pay default interest does not exclude the Seller's right to claim further damages caused by default.
6.6. The customer is only entitled to a right of set-off if his counterclaims have been legally established or acknowledged by the seller. The customer may only exercise a right of retention if the claims arise from the same contractual relationship.

7. Retention of title

The delivered goods remain the property of the seller until full payment has been made.

8. Warranty and guarantee for material defects

8.1. The warranty is determined in accordance with statutory provisions.
8.2. A guarantee for goods delivered by the Seller shall only exist if this has been expressly stated.

9. Liability

9.1. The following exclusions and limitations of liability shall apply to the Seller's liability for damages, without prejudice to any other statutory requirements for claims.
9.2 The Seller shall be liable without limitation if the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence.
9.3. Furthermore, the Seller shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract, or for the breach of obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the Customer regularly relies. In this case, however, the Seller shall only be liable for foreseeable, contract-typical damages. The Seller shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned in the preceding sentences.
9.4. The above limitations of liability do not apply in cases of injury to life, limb, or health, for defects after a guarantee has been given regarding the quality of the product, or for fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
9.5 To the extent that the Seller's liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

Consequences of revocation

If you cancel this contract, we will refund all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from your choice of a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), promptly and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received notification of your cancellation of this contract. For this refund, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless something else was expressly agreed with you; under no circumstances will you be charged any fees for this refund.

You must return or hand over the goods to us promptly and in any event no later than fourteen days from the date on which you notify us that you have cancelled this contract. This deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the fourteen-day period. You will bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You only have to pay for any loss of value of the goods if this loss of value is due to handling of the goods which is not necessary to check their quality, properties and functioning.

  • Contracts for the supply of goods which are not prefabricated and for whose production an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.
