General terms and conditions of business

1. Scope

1.1. The general terms and conditions of oilpressparts – hereinafter referred to as the Seller – apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer or businessperson – hereinafter referred to as the Buyer – and the Seller regarding the goods and/or services presented by the Seller in its product range. Deviating provisions shall only apply if they have been agreed upon in writing between the Seller and the Buyer or are expressly stated in the General Terms and Conditions.

1.2. A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural or legal person, or a partnership with legal capacity, who, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

2. Conclusion of contract

2.1. Offers made by oilpressparts are free of charge and non-binding.

2.2. Orders or order confirmations/issuances must always be submitted in writing. Any deviating provisions must also be in writing.

2.3. The purchase contract is only legally binding when the buyer receives a corresponding order confirmation from the seller.

2.4. Order processing and contact generally take place via email and/or automated order processing. The buyer must ensure that the email address provided for order processing is correct, so that emails sent by the seller can be received at this address.

3. Return costs when exercising the right of withdrawal

If the customer has a right of withdrawal, he shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

4. Prices and payment terms

 4.1. The prices offered by the Seller are binding for the entire term of the contract. The prices stated do not include shipping costs. These will be stated separately in the respective product description in the offer, if applicable.

4.2. For deliveries, the Seller offers the following payment options, unless otherwise agreed in the offer:

– Payment on account
– Advance payment by bank transfer
– As agreed

4.3. For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which must be borne by the customer. These include, for example, money transfer costs (transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties such as customs duties or taxes.

4.4 If advance payment has been agreed, payment is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. When paying by invoice, the customer undertakes to settle the invoice amount immediately upon receipt of the goods.

5. Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1. Goods are generally delivered by post to the delivery address provided by the buyer. The delivery address provided by the seller during order processing is decisive for the processing of the transaction.

5.2 The costs for shipping the purchased item are to be borne by the buyer. If the buyer requests a special shipping method that incurs higher costs, the buyer must also bear these additional costs. 

5.3. If the transport company returns the shipped goods to the seller because delivery to the buyer was not possible, the buyer shall bear the costs for the unsuccessful shipment. This does not apply if the buyer exercises his right of withdrawal by refusing acceptance, if he is not responsible for the circumstances leading to the impossibility of delivery, or if he was temporarily prevented from accepting the offered service, unless the seller had notified the buyer of the service a reasonable time in advance.

5.4. In the case of self-collection, the seller will first notify the buyer by email that the ordered goods are ready for collection. After receiving this email, the buyer can collect the goods after consultation with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

6. Retention of title

The purchased item remains the property of the seller until full payment has been made by the buyer.

7. Liability for defects

The statutory liability for defects applies.

8. Applicable law

8.1. All legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws governing the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his or her habitual residence.

8.2. If the Buyer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the Seller's registered office. The same applies if the Buyer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, or if his or her place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is filed. The Buyer's right to also bring the case before a court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected.

8.3 The contract language is German or English.

9. Warranty

9.1 In case of obvious defects, the buyer undertakes to describe the defect in writing within 14 days of receipt of the goods.

9.2. Customary, minor, or technically unavoidable tolerances in quality, quantity, color, and dimensions cannot be criticized.

9.3. The warranty does not cover defects caused by normal wear and tear, incorrect assembly, improper use, or negligent handling.
