1) Scope of Application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Rico Pena, operating under "PeRi Perfection" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded between a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") and the Seller regarding the goods displayed in the Seller's online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 These GTC shall apply mutatis mutandis to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise stipulated.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor their independent professional activity.
1.4 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, acts 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 shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve for the submission of 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 shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer regarding the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.3 The Seller can 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, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
- by requesting payment from the Customer after they have placed their order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the Customer sends the offer and ends with the expiry 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 their declaration of intent.
2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment processing is handled by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal User Agreement, viewable at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if the Customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the Conditions for Payments Without a PayPal Account, viewable at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the Customer pays using a PayPal payment method selectable during the online ordering process, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer's offer at the moment the Customer clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.5 When an offer is submitted via the Seller's online order form, the contract text is stored by the Seller after the contract is concluded and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g., e-mail, fax, or letter) after the Customer has sent their order. The Seller does not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending their order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the Customer via their password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.
2.6 Before submitting a binding order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The Customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.7 The German language is exclusively available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.8 Order processing and contact usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by them for order processing is correct, so that e-mails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the Customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller for order processing can be delivered.
3) Right of Withdrawal
3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller's cancellation policy.
4) Prices and Payment Conditions
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include the statutory value-added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for money transfer by credit institutions (e.g., transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g., customs duties). Such costs may also arise in connection with money transfer if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the Customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop.
4.4 If payment in advance by bank transfer is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.5 If the "SOFORT" payment method is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter "SOFORT"). To be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the Customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", identify themselves accordingly during the payment process, and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then immediately carried out by "SOFORT" and the Customer's bank account is debited. Further information on the "SOFORT" payment method can be found online at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.
4.6 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Shopify Payments" is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe"). The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments will be communicated to the customer in the Seller's online shop. Stripe may use other payment services for payment processing, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be separately informed. Further information on "Shopify Payments" is available online at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de.
4.7 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Stripe" is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe"). The individual payment methods offered via Stripe will be communicated to the customer in the Seller's online shop. Stripe may use other payment services for payment processing, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the customer may be separately informed. Further information on Stripe is available online at https://stripe.com/de.
4.8 If payment by direct debit via Stripe is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: "Stripe"). In this case, Stripe will debit the invoice amount from the customer's bank account on behalf of the seller after a SEPA direct debit mandate has been issued, but not before the expiry of the period for pre-notification. Pre-notification is any message (e.g., invoice, policy, contract) to the customer announcing a debit by SEPA direct debit. If the direct debit is not honored due to insufficient funds in the account or due to incorrect bank details, or if the customer objects to the debit even though they are not entitled to do so, the customer shall bear the fees incurred by the respective credit institution due to the chargeback if they are responsible for this. The seller reserves the right to carry out a credit check when selecting the SEPA direct debit payment method and to reject this payment method in the event of a negative credit check.
4.9 If payment by credit card via Stripe is selected, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. Payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: "Stripe"). Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check and to refuse this payment method in the event of a negative credit check.
4.10 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Klarna" is selected, payment processing is carried out by Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter "Klarna"). Further information and Klarna's terms and conditions can be found in the Seller's payment information, which can be viewed at the following internet address:

5) Delivery and Shipping Conditions
5.1 If the Seller offers to ship the goods, delivery will be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address provided by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address specified in the Seller's order processing is decisive for the processing of the transaction. Notwithstanding this, if PayPal is selected as the payment method, the delivery address stored by the Customer with PayPal at the time of payment is decisive.
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 to the costs of dispatch if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. For return costs, if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal, the provisions made in the Seller's cancellation policy apply.
5.3 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarder, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. If the Customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally only passes when the goods are handed over to the Customer or a person authorised to receive them. Notwithstanding this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods also passes to the Customer even for consumers as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarder, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has commissioned the forwarder, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the Seller has not previously named this person or institution to the Customer.
5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This applies only in the event that the non-delivery is not the fault of the Seller and the Seller has concluded a specific hedging transaction with the supplier with due diligence. The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.
5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
5.6 Vouchers are provided to the Customer as follows:
- by e-mail
6) Retention of Title
If the Seller makes advance payments, they reserve ownership of the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price owed.
7) Liability for Defects (Warranty)
7.1 Unless otherwise stipulated in the following provisions, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:
7.2 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur,
- the Seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
- for new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from the delivery of the goods;
- for used goods, rights and claims due to defects are excluded;
- the limitation period does not recommence if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.
7.3 The limitations of liability and reductions in time limits regulated above do not apply
- to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the Customer,
- in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
- for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual purpose and have caused its defectiveness,
- to any existing obligation of the Seller to provide updates for digital products, in contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.
7.4 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing statutory right of recourse remain unaffected.
7.5 If the Customer is a merchant within the meaning of Section 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), they are subject to the commercial duty to inspect and give notice of defects in accordance with Section 377 HGB. If the Customer fails to comply with the notification duties regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved.
7.6 If the Customer is a consumer, they are asked to complain about goods delivered with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the Seller thereof. Failure by the Customer to do so has no effect on their statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8) Special Conditions for the Processing of Goods According to Customer Specifications
8.1 If, according to the content of the contract, the Seller is obliged to process the goods according to specific customer specifications in addition to delivering them, the Customer must provide the Seller with all content required for processing, such as texts, images, or graphics, in the file formats, formatting, image and file sizes specified by the Seller, and grant the Seller the necessary rights of use for this purpose. The Customer alone is responsible for procuring and acquiring the rights to this content. The Customer declares and assumes responsibility that they have the right to use the content provided to the Seller. In particular, they ensure that no third-party rights are violated, especially copyrights, trademark rights, and personal rights.
8.2 The customer indemnifies the seller against claims by third parties which they may assert against the seller in connection with an infringement of their rights by the contractual use of the customer's content by the seller. The customer also bears the necessary costs of legal defence, including all court and lawyer's fees at the statutory rate. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by third parties, the customer is obliged to provide the seller immediately, truthfully and completely with all information required for the examination of the claims and a defence.
8.3 The seller reserves the right to reject processing orders if the content provided by the customer for this purpose violates legal or official prohibitions or public morality.
