By using the website and/or ordering a product and making a binding offer, you, as customer (the Customer) accept all of the following business, ordering and delivery terms and conditions of the Seller (hereinafter referred to as General Terms and Conditions, or GTC). Please note that for business customers other clauses of the GTC may apply than for consumers. Formore information about the Seller, please refer to the imprint at https://yaasa.com/pages/imprint.

2. CUSTOMER

The Customer has the possibility to order the goods listed by the Seller in the Webshop in accordance with Section 3 of the GTC. A purchase contract shall also be concluded in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of these GTC.

     2.1 Legal capacity and power to represent

The placing of orders, as well as the registration of a customer account by natural persons requires their unrestricted legal capacity and the completion of the 18th year of life. The Customer affirms these requirements with a confirmation before the completion of the ordering process in the webshop and hereby accepts all legal consequences of a false statement.

Use by legal entities is governed by the legal and contractual provisions governing their power of representation.

     2.2 Customer account

The Customer has the option to register with a customer account in the Webshop free of charge. When registering, the Customer must specify whether he/she is registering as an entrepreneur ("business customer") or as a consumer("private customer"). Billing will be made to the billing address provided in the registration. The Customer has the option of creating a private customer account or a business customer account, in each case by providing the appropriate customer data, in particular name, billing and delivery address, country of delivery, e-mail and telephone number and, in the case of a business customer account, by providing the tax number or, if applicable, the name of the company (customer data). If available, the Customer must provide his/her VAT number when opening a business customer account. By disclosing his/her VAT number, the Customer confirms that he/she is an entrepreneur. Orders via the private customer account shall be deemed to be offers of a consumer, orders via the business customer account shall be deemed to be offers of an entrepreneur and, upon acceptance of the respective offer by the Seller, shall lead in the first case to the closing of a one-sided business-related transaction, in the second case to the closing of a two-sided business-related transaction, with the respective legal consequences. A change of the invoice address after acceptance of the offer by the Seller - and thus a change of the qualification of the transaction- is not possible.

        2.2.1 Security and liability 

The Customer is obliged to keep his/her access data to the customer account secret and to protect it from unauthorized access by third parties. The Customer is liable for all damages that occurred by him/her, third parties or the Seller from the (unauthorized) use of his/her customer account by a third party.

     2.3 Orders as guest

However, the Customer may also place orders as a "guest" without registering. When placing an order as a "guest", the Customer must also indicate whether he/she is ordering in his/her capacity as a consumer ("private customer") or in his/her capacity as an entrepreneur ("business customer"), providing the relevant customer data. Depending on the information provided by the Customer, acceptance of the offer by the Seller in the first case results in a one-sided business-related transaction, in the second case in a two-sided business-related transaction, with the respective legal consequences. A change of the customer data after acceptance of the offer by the Seller - and thus a change of the qualification of the transaction - is not possible. Certain functionalities and additional options may not be available in case of an order as "guest" and require the registration of a customer account. The Customer can deactivate his/her account at any time. The Seller reserves the right to deactivate customer accounts that are inactive (no orders are placed - for more than 365 days).

     2.4 Customer data

The customer data requested in connection with registration, or orders and transmitted by the Customer must be disclosed by the Customer completely and correctly. If the data provided changes, the Customer is obliged to immediately disclose the new data and - if the Customer is registered with a customer account - to immediately update the information in the customer account. If the Customer deactivates his/her customer account, or if it is deactivated by the Seller, the data of the Customer will be deleted, unless the storage is necessary for the fulfillment of legal obligations to which the Seller is subject and/or for the enforcement of legal claims of the Seller.

3. ORDER, CONTRACT CLOSING

The product advertisements placed on the Webshop represent a non-binding offer by the Seller to the Customer to make an offer to conclude a purchase contract. An order placed by the Customer via the Webshop shall be deemed to be an offer and shall be binding to the Seller only with its acceptance. The Seller is not obligated to accept the Customer's offer, the Customer acknowledges in particular that the Seller does not guarantee that the listed goods are actually available. 

The receipt of the e-mail confirming the order sent by the Seller to the e-mail address provided by the Customer (the Order Confirmation) shall be deemed as acceptance of the order, whereby the purchase agreement for the specified goods at the specified purchase prices shall be deemed to be concluded. If the Customer considers that the order confirmation differs from the offer submitted via the Webshop, the Customer is obliged to notify the Seller thereof immediately via e-mail, stating the differences.

4. PURCHASING PRICE

The purchase price shall be the price in euros per item for the individual goods (Purchase Price) stated in the Webshop at the time of the order.

The Customer will receive a shipping confirmation via e-mail to the e-mail address provided by him/her when the ordered goods have been handed over by the Seller to the carrier.

If a delivery to the Customer is not possible for reasons within the Customer's sphere of influence, in particular because the delivered goods do not fit through the Customer's entrance door, front door or staircase, or because the Customer cannot be found at the delivery address provided by him/her at the time of delivery, although the delivery date was announced to the Customer with reasonable notice, the Customer shall bear the costs for the unsuccessful delivery.

     6.1 Maturity and reservation of title

The Seller's receivables shall become due for payment upon binding submission of the offer by the Buyer.

All goods delivered by the Seller remain its property until full payment. A sale of the goods by the Customer to a third party before their full payment requires the prior consent of the Seller.
