§ 1 General information, applicability and definition of terms

  1. The firm 2nd-Skin online shop, owner Peter Schenk, Terminalstraße Mitte 18, 85356 München, Germany (henceforth referred to as „seller“) under the name of „2nd-Skin Shop“ runs an internet shop with the address www.2nd-skin.com
  2. For all business transactions between the seller and the purchaser of products or services of the shop (henceforth referred to as „customer“) the following general business terms and conditions are valid. At the time of the order the latest version of the terms and conditions is valid (see § 2 section 1). With his/her order the customer acknowledges these terms and conditions. Terms and conditions of the customer are not valid without a previous written confirmation of the seller.

  3. According to these terms, customer is called every natural person, who signs an order for such a purpose that attributes neither his/her trading or independent professional activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

  1. The presentation of the products in the internet shop does not represent a legally binding offer, but a noncommittal online catalogue. By clicking the button "send order" in the final step of the ordering process, the customer submits a binding offer to purchase the products or services in the shopping cart (henceforth referred to as „order“). The sales contract is officially concluded upon the seller's acceptance of the customer's order. An explicit acceptance declaration is not required.

  2. The customer is bound to his/her contractual offer for two weeks.

  3. After receipt of the order it is possible to send an order confirmation to the customer. The order confirmation serves merely to inform the customer about the arrival of his/her order, which does not yet lead to an acceptance of the offer. Accordingly the absence of an order confirmation does not mean a rejection of the offer.

  4. If the order includes advance payment, the customer will receive a declaration of acceptance of his/her offer by e-mail or in another way.


§ 3 Fulfilment of the contract, impairments of performance

  1. If the seller himself does not or not complete or not correctly receive deliveries from his supplier, he has the right to not or only partially fulfill his contractual obligations. This only applies to the case, in which the seller is not culpable for the non-delivery, in particular if a congruent coverage transaction is concluded with the supplier of the seller. In case that supplies are not or only partially available, the customer will be informed within a reasonable time. The customer will be repaid the non-delivered elements.

  2. Force majeure, disruptions of operations that are not the sellers fault and all other circumstances the seller is not responsible for (e.g. incorrect or delayed internal supply, failure of the upstream supplier, traffic disruptions etc.), entitle the seller to stop or delay the obligations for the extent and duration of the disruptions. In all other respects – subject to an explicitly referred to as binding written commitment – a delivery period shall only be approximately agreed, subject to correct and timely internal delivery.

  3. In case of refused, late, delayed or otherwise improper taking delivery, the customer, if he/she is responsible for postponement – irrespective of his/her obligation to pay the purchase price – has to recompense possible expenses of the seller due to theses circumstances.

  4. As compensation in place of delivery in default of acceptance, the seller shall charge 15 % of the order price without deductions, unless the customer does not prove that the damages incurred were lower than the lump sum or were not incurred at all. The seller reserves the right to prove damages that are higher than the lump sum.
  5. Deviations of the supplied products from pictures or offer texts remain reserved as far as the specific characteristics are not essential.

  6. The seller reserves the right to begin performance not until the end of the two week revocation period.
