Standard Business Terms and Customer Information

I.Standard Business Terms

§ 1 Basic Provisions

(1) The following business terms are applicable to all the contracts, which you conclude with us as a supplier (ISS International Security School & Services GmbH®) via the websites www.issprotectiontrade.com, www.fabdefense.de, www.dpmsystems.de. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the inclusion, if necessary, of your own conditions is ruled out.

(2)
(2.1) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.

(2.2) The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products.
(2) On placing the product in question on our website, we provide you with a binding offer to conclude a sales agreement subject to the conditions specified in the item description.
(3) The purchase agreement takes place via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the “shopping cart”. You can select the shopping cart using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time. After calling up the ‘check-out’ page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page. If you used an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal / PayPal Express, Amazon-Payments, Sofort) to receive payments, you will either be guided to our online shop on the order summary page or forwarded to the web page of the instant payment provider.
If you are forwarded to the instant payment system, choose and enter your details as appropriate. You will then be returned to the order summary page in our online shop. Before the order is sent, you can re-check all the data, change it (which can also be done via the internet browser’s ‘back’ function) or cancel the purchase transaction. By clicking the “Place order in conjunction with a liability to pay” button to submit the order, you declare acceptance of the order in a legally binding way by which the purchase agreement takes place.
(4) You are not bound by your enquiries regarding the creation of an offer that have been conveyed to us. We supply you with a textual and binding offer (e.g. via e-mail), which you can accept within a period of 5 days.
(5) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.

§ 3 Special agreements related to the offered payment methods

(1) Payment by “secupay credit card”, “secupay direct debit” or “secupay purchase on account” or “SOFORT via secupay”

For payment methods like “secupay credit card”, “secupay direct debit” or “secupay purchase on account” or “SOFORT via secupay”, we irrevocably and fully cede our payment claim against you to secupay AG Goethestr. 6, 01896 Pulsnitz. Before accepting the transfer, secupay AG shall undertake a credit check, using the data provided during the order. We reserve the right to refuse your selected form of payment as a result of the credit check. You will be informed about this prior to the dispatch or your order.

If the “secupay credit card” or “secupay direct debit” form of payment is permitted, secupay AG accepts the cession and subsequently collects the payment via your credit card or a direct debit operation associated with your account. The debiting of your bank account or credit card account takes place upon completion of the order. With the approval of the “secupay purchase on account” form of payment, secupay AG accepts the cession and the ordered product is delivered or dispatched to you along with the bill. The purchase price is payable to secupay AG, Goethestraße 6, 01896 Pulsnitz within 10 (ten) calendar days after the products are delivered.

With the approval of the payment method “SOFORT via secupay”, secupay AG accepts the assignment and the data provided by you in the course of the ordering process will be entered in the digital transfer form provided by the payment system of SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, D-80339 Munich, and will be transmitted by SOFORT GmbH together with your online banking data (PIN and TAN) in encrypted form to your bank for execution of the transfer. Your online banking data will neither be stored by the controller, secupay nor by SOFORT GmbH. SOFORT GmbH is part of the Klarna Group (Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46,111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.)

§ 4 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights

(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.

§ 5 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) Claims for defects shall be excluded for used items if the defect occurs after one year from delivery of the item. If the defect occurs within one year from delivery of the item, claims for defect can be asserted in accordance with the statutory limitation period of two years from delivery of the item. The above limitation does not apply:

to damages culpably attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damages caused by willful intent or gross negligence;
insofar as we have willfully concealed the defect or accepted a warranty for the quality of the goods.

(3) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.

§ 6 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction

(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

§ 7 Protection of minors

(1) For the sale of goods, that are subject of the regulations of child welfare protection law, we only deal with contractual relationships with customers who have reached the legally prescribed minimum age.
Any age restrictions are referred to in the respective item descriptions.
(2) By submitting your order, you assure that you have reached the legally prescribed minimum age and that your details as regards your name and your address are correct. You are under obligation to ensure that only you or other persons authorized by you to accept the delivery, who have reached the legally prescribed minimum age, can take delivery of the goods.
(3) As long as we are under obligation by the legal provisions to carry out an age verification, we instruct the logistics service provider commissioned with the delivery to hand over the delivery only to persons who have reached the legally prescribed minimum age, and in case of doubt, to request for the identity card of the person accepting the product for the purpose of age verification.
(4) As far as we show, beyond the legally prescribed minimum age in the respective item description, that you must have completed 18 years of age to be able to purchase the item, the aforementioned sections 1-3 are applicable providing that instead of the legally prescribed minimum age, the legal age must be reached.

§ 8 Weapons, ammunition sales

(1) When it comes to the sales of products that are covered by the weapons law, we only enter into contractual relationships with customers who are of legal age. If the products in question are listed in annex 2 of the weapons law, you are asked to present a weapons permit.

Weapons and ammunition, which are subject to a special purchase authorization, are only sold or delivered upon presentation of valid documents: e.g. hunting license (only original document) or expediently as official confirmation or officially certified photocopies of all inscribed pages (fax may not be accepted), firearms owners license (only original document), ammunition purchase certificate (only original document) or special permit (only original document).

Purchase authorization-free items will only be delivered or respectively sold upon presentation of an official original certificate or expediently on presentation of an official confirmation, that the acquirer has reached the age of 18 years.

(2) You affirm, in conjunction with the sending of your order, that you are at least 18 years old and that the data supplied by you regarding your name and your address is accurate. You are obligated to ensure that the product is only received by you or persons of legal age who you have authorized to receive the product.

(3) We instruct the third-party logistics provider, who has been entrusted with the task of making the delivery, to only deliver the product in question to people above the age of 18 and, in case of any doubts, to verify the age of the person receiving the product by viewing that person’s identification card.

(4) Default of acceptance
(4.1) If the customer is in default of acceptance, we are entitled to stock the weapon ourselves at the expenses and risk of the customer. Depending on the storage location, storage costs of at least EUR 10.00 are incurred per weapon per month. The default of acceptance starts after 3 months after receiving the payment of customer and after the weapon is being ready for pickup or for shipping.
(4.2) If the customer is an entrepreneur, then we are entitled to store the weapon ourselves at the expenses and risk of the customer if the handing over is impossible for a longer period of time, due to circumstances we are not responsible for. Depending on the storage location, storage costs of at least EUR 10.00 are incurred per weapon per month.

The personal data exchanged with seucupay includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, phone number and other data which is required for handling the payment. Data is transmitted in order to process your payment and prevent fraud. We will also transmit other personal data to secupay if there is a justified interest in doing so.
