Terms and conditions and customer information

I. General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Basic provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as a provider via the planet-seed website. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions that you may use is hereby rejected.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following provisions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor to their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.

(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we make 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 you intend to buy are placed in the "shopping cart". You can access the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time using the corresponding button in the navigation bar.
After clicking the "Checkout" or "Continue to order" button (or similar name) and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed 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 directed to the order overview page in our online shop or redirected to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, you can make the appropriate selections or enter your data there. Finally, the order data will be displayed as an order overview on the website of the instant payment system provider or after you have been redirected back to our online shop.

Before submitting your order, you have the opportunity to check the details in the order overview again, to change them (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or to cancel the order.

By submitting the order via the corresponding button ("order with payment", "buy" / "buy now", "order with payment", "pay" / "pay now" or similar designation), you declare your legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) Your requests for a quote are non-binding. We will provide you with a binding offer in text form (e.g. by email), which you can accept within 5 days (unless a different deadline is specified in the respective offer).

(5) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by email. You must therefore ensure that the email address you have provided to us is correct, that receipt of the emails is technically guaranteed and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Contract term / termination of subscription contracts

(1) The subscription contract concluded between you and us has the term stated in the respective offer, hereinafter referred to as the "basic term". A basic term of more than 2 years cannot be agreed.

(2) If the subscription contract is not terminated by one of the parties one month before the end of the basic term (unless a shorter period is stipulated in the respective offer), it shall be tacitly extended for an indefinite period.

The extended contractual relationship can be terminated at any time with one month's notice (unless a shorter notice period is specified in the respective offer).
(3) The right to terminate the contract without notice for good cause remains unaffected.

(4) Any termination must be declared and transmitted either in text form (e.g. e-mail) or via the termination button integrated on our website ("Terminate contracts here" or similar designation).

§ 4 Right of retention, retention of title

(1) You may only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

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

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following applies in addition:

a) We retain title to the goods until all claims arising from the current business relationship have been settled in full. Before title to the reserved goods has been transferred, pledging or transferring them as security is not permitted.

b) You can resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice amount that arise from the resale, and we accept the assignment. You are also authorized to collect the claim. However, if you do not properly meet your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) If the reserved goods are combined or mixed, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released is at our discretion.

§ 5 Warranty

(1) The statutory liability for defects applies.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to check the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not do this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

(3) If a feature of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to have been agreed if you were informed of this by us before the contract was concluded and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.

(4) If you are an entrepreneur, the following applies, deviating from the above warranty provisions:

a) Only our own information and the manufacturer's product description are deemed to be agreed upon as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public praise and statements by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we will provide warranty at our discretion by repairing or replacing the goods. If the remedy of the defect fails, you can demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract at your discretion. The remedy of the defect is deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the type of goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of repair, we do not have to bear the increased costs that arise from transporting the goods to a location other than the place of performance, provided that the transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period does not apply:

- damages caused by us due to injury to life, body or health and other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- if we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have provided a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their usual purpose and which have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory recourse claims that you have against us in connection with warranty rights.

§ 6 Choice of law

(1) German law applies. In the case of consumers, this choice of law only applies to the extent that it does not deprive the consumer of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which he or she is habitually resident (favorability principle).

(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.

§ 7 Protection of minors

(1) When selling goods that are subject to the provisions of the Youth Protection Act, we only enter into contractual relationships with customers who have reached the legally prescribed minimum age.
Any existing age restrictions will be indicated in the respective item description.

(2) By submitting your order, you confirm that you have reached the minimum age required by law and that your details regarding your name and address are correct. You are obliged to ensure that only you or persons authorized by you to accept the delivery who have reached the minimum age required by law receive the goods.

(3) To the extent that we are required by law to carry out an age check, we instruct the logistics service provider commissioned with the delivery to only hand over the delivery to persons who have reached the legally required minimum age and, in case of doubt, to ask the person receiving the goods to show their identity card for age verification.

(4) If we indicate in the respective item description that you must be at least 18 years old to purchase the goods, in addition to the legally required minimum age, the above paragraphs 1-3 shall apply with the proviso that you must be of legal age instead of the legally required minimum age.
