General Terms and Conditions
1. scope of application
1.1
These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) of the company Byodo Naturkost GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”) shall apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer or a trader (hereinafter referred to as “Client”) and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services presented in the Seller’s online store. The inclusion of the customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2
A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed primarily to their commercial or independent professional activity. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, is acting in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
2. conclusion of contract
2.1
The product descriptions contained in the seller’s online store do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.
2.2
The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller’s online store. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.3
The seller may accept the customer’s offer within five days,
- by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
- by requesting payment from the customer after the order has been placed.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer’s offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment is processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “PayPal”), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use or if the customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the provisions for Payments without a PayPal account. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer’s offer at the time the customer clicks the button concluding the ordering process.
2.5
When submitting an offer via the seller’s online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the customer’s order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller’s online store before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller’s website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by entering the corresponding login data.
2.6
Before placing a binding order via the seller’s online order form, the customer can recognize possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical tool for better recognition of input errors can be the browser’s magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.7
Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.8
Orders are generally processed and contact established by e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address.

5.2
If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. If the customer effectively exercises the right of withdrawal, the provision in the seller’s withdrawal policy shall apply to the return costs.
5.3

8 Applicable law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties, to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of goods.
