(hereinafter referred to as "Seller", "we" or "us").

(2) A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither attributable to their commercial nor their independent professional activity (Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB)).

(3) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Sales Convention. This choice of law applies to consumers only to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence.

(4) The contract language is German.

(5) We deliver exclusively within Germany.

📝 Note: If you want to deliver to other EU countries or worldwide, this template is not sufficient. International shipping requires additional clauses (excise duties, customs regulations, etc.) and should strictly be arranged by a lawyer.

II. Conclusion of Contract

(1) The presentation of products in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but a non-binding invitation to order (invitatio ad offerendum).

(2) By clicking the "Buy" button ("Order with obligation to pay" or similar) in the final step of the ordering process, the Buyer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract. Before submitting the order, the Buyer can correct the information at any time using the standard keyboard and mouse functions. In addition, all entries are displayed in a confirmation window before the binding order and can be corrected there as well.

(3) After submitting the order, the Buyer will receive an automatically generated order confirmation by e-mail, in which the Buyer's order is listed again. This automatic order confirmation merely documents that the order has been received by us and does not constitute acceptance of the contract offer.

(4) The contract is only concluded when we accept the Buyer's offer through an express order confirmation or by delivering the goods. Acceptance takes place within five (5) working days after receipt of the order. If no acceptance occurs within this period, the offer is considered rejected; in this case, the Buyer is no longer bound by their offer.

(5) We store the contract text and send the order details as well as these GTC including cancellation policy to the Buyer via e-mail. The current GTC can also be viewed at /terms.

III. Prices and Payment Terms

(1) All prices are final prices in Euros and include the applicable statutory VAT. Shipping costs shown separately during the ordering process are added to this.

(2) The prices displayed in the online shop at the time of the order apply.

(3) The Buyer can choose between the payment methods offered during checkout. The available payment methods are displayed to the Buyer during the ordering process.

(4) Payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland). The terms of use of Stripe apply additionally.

(5) The purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract, unless otherwise specified by the chosen payment method.

(6) The Buyer is only entitled to set-off if their counter-claim has been legally established, recognized by us, or is undisputed, or is in a close synallagmatic relationship with the main claim. A right of retention exists for the Buyer only to the extent that it is based on claims from the same contractual relationship.

IV. Delivery, Shipping, and Shipping Costs

(1) Delivery takes place exclusively within Germany to the delivery address provided by the Buyer.

(2) Shipping costs are shown separately in the ordering process and are to be borne by the Buyer, unless expressly agreed otherwise. Current shipping costs can be viewed at /shipping-payment.

📝 Note: You must provide a separate shipping and payment information page with your current shipping costs and delivery times.

(3) Unless otherwise stated in the online shop, the delivery time within Germany is generally three (3) to five (5) working days from the conclusion of the contract or, in the case of advance payment, from receipt of the purchase price into our account.

(4) We ship the goods via DPD or UPS. By placing the order, the Buyer agrees that we may share their e-mail address with the shipping service provider for the purpose of shipment tracking and notification. This consent can be revoked at any time by e-mail to info@buschwein.de; a shipment notification will then no longer be possible.

(5) The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods only passes to the Buyer upon handover of the goods.

V. Retention of Title

The delivered goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

VI. Warranty

(1) Statutory warranty rights apply. The warranty period for delivered goods is two (2) years from receipt of the goods.

(2) Defects must be reported to us immediately upon discovery.

(3) In the event of a defect, the Buyer initially has a claim for subsequent performance. As part of subsequent performance, the Buyer can choose between remedying the defect or delivery of a defect-free item. If subsequent performance fails, the Buyer is entitled to statutory rights (withdrawal, reduction, damages).

VII. Liability

(1) We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for culpable injury to life, limb or health, for claims under the Product Liability Act, for the assumption of a guarantee, as well as for maliciously concealed defects.

(2) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (so-called cardinal obligations), our liability is limited to the contract-typical, foreseeable damage. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the Buyer may regularly rely.

(3) Otherwise, our liability—regardless of the legal grounds—is excluded.

VIII. Protection of Minors, Age Verification

(1) We sell alcoholic beverages exclusively to persons who have reached the age of 18 (Section 9 of the German Protection of Young Persons Act (JuSchG)).

(2) By placing the order, the Buyer confirms that they have reached the age of 18.

IX. Mandatory Information on Food (LMIV) and Wine

(1) The mandatory information required for our wines according to the Food Information Regulation (LMIV, EU Regulation No. 1169/2011) as well as Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 — in particular information on allergens (e.g., sulfites), nutritional values, and ingredients — can be accessed on the respective product detail page of the online shop or is provided via an electronic link (e.g., QR code) stored there.

(2) The Buyer is requested to take note of this information before concluding the contract, particularly with regard to any allergies or intolerances.

X. Data Protection

Information on the processing of personal data can be found in our privacy policy at /privacy.

XI. Dispute Resolution

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board in accordance with the Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG).

XII. Final Provisions

(1) Should a provision of these GTC be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The statutory regulation shall replace the invalid provision.

(2) If the Buyer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or in a member state of the European Union, or if they have moved their domicile or habitual residence out of the scope of these terms after conclusion of the contract, or if their domicile or habitual residence is unknown at the time the action is filed, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship shall be our place of business.

Note: You can find the cancellation policy and the sample cancellation form at /withdrawal.
