§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

By clicking the ‘buy’ button, customer agrees to buy the goods in the cart, and this order is legally binding. The customer receives an order confirmation immediately after the order is transmitted. This order confirmation is only sent for information purposes to the customer and does not present an acceptance of the offer made by the customer. The contract of purchase only comes into force when elysia accepts the order within one week in written form or by initiating the product delivery and confirming the delivery towards the customer in written form (usually by Email).

2. elysia stores the text of the contract und emails the order data and a link to the General Terms and Conditions to the customer.

§ 3 Consumer’s right of withdrawal

elysia grants to all consumers with a domicile and a place of delivery within the European Union the legal right of withdrawal concerning distance selling. The following instruction is conform to German Civil Law. Should the consumer’s national law concerning the right of withdrawal differ in its conditions and consequences from German Law and should the national law be more favorable to the consumer than the German right of withdrawal, the consumer’s national law will apply. If the consumer’s domicile and place of delivery is beyond the European Union, the right of withdrawal will only apply, if the right of withdrawal for consumers is stipulated in the national law of the consumer. Therefore, consumers of Switzerland have no right of withdrawal. If a withdrawal is anyway accepted by elysia, the consumer will bear all costs of sending back the products.

For ordered media packaged in transparent film or sealed media such as CDs, audio cassettes, videos, DVDs, as well as newspapers and software this means, that the product has to be returned in original sealed packaging with an undamaged seal.

Germany

In case of returning goods under the conditions specified above, we will refund the full payment with exception of the costs of returning. The customer bears the risk of transportation. Please use our original used transport packaging if possible. These provisions do not affect your legal rights or rights of withdrawal under § 3 of this terms and conditions of business.

§ 5 Prices

The prices valid the moment of ordering and specified on the website of elysia include value-added tax/sales tax (currently 19% in Germany). The prices do not include the charges for packing and transportation.

§ 6 Packing and transportation charges

1. For the delivery elysia charges packing costs based on heaviness and complexity of packing, independent from the number of ordered articles. The customer also bears the transportation costs.

2. In case the goods are shipped to a foreign country outside the European trading zone, the customer also bears the additional tariffs and fees.

3. At the request of the customer express deliveries are possible. The customer has to bear the additional transportation.

§ 7 Delivery

1. The delivery is sent to the delivery address indicated by the customer. If the customer has indicated a wrong, incomplete or ambiguous delivery address he bears all costs resulting from this.

2. As soon as the goods have been entrusted to a transportation company by elysia, the risk automatically transfers to the customer. The delivery is sent to the delivery address indicated by the customer. Should the customer be a „consumer“ in the sense defined by § 13 German Civil Code [Buergerliches Gesetzbuch/BGB], the danger of accidental perishing or incidental deterioration of the purchased goods – even in the event of a „sale to destination“ – first becomes the legal responsibility of the customer after the goods have been delivered. If the customer is in default of acceptance, this will be considered as a delivery.

3. In case of prepayment, elysia will only deliver the goods when the receipt of money is complete. elysia will not reserve the ordered goods until complete receipt of payment. If the goods are meanwhile sold out in the moment of complete receipt of payment, elysia will immediately inform the customer about this.

4. If an article should not be available on short term, elysia will inform the customer via email on the expected delivery period as far as elysia has the customer’s email address.

5. In general, the delivery period is, as not stated otherwise next to the offer, 3-5 days.

6. In case the customer is no “consumer” in the sense defined by § 13 German Civil Code the customer is obligated to examine the goods immediately after delivery to detect any transportation damages. Detectible transportation damages are to be reported without delay to us. The shipping company has to attest the packaging damages at the receipt by the customer in written form towards the customer.

§ 8 Due-date and conditions of payment

1. Invoices sent by elysia are to be paid in full without delay. In case of cash on delivery the payment is possible in cash, per credit card or prepayment. In case of payment per credit card the debit is carried out with issue of the bill and shipping of the goods. Immediately at the moment the customer sends his order to elysia by email, the full amount will be reserved on his credit card.

2. elysia reserves the right to decline checks and other non-cash means of payment. Payments are always solely accepted on account of performance. Payments in foreign currency are credited according to our bank statement. The customer bears the banking fees.

3. Should the customer be in arrears in respect to paying the designated purchase price, interest is to be paid on the sum of the purchase price at a value of five percentage points above the standard German interest rate for the period of delinquency. In the event elysia is in a position to substantiate greater damages caused by delay, elysia reserves the right to raise corresponding legal claims.

4. Charging is only possible with unchallenged, established as final and absolute claims or such which are ready for judgment.

§ 9 Reservation of Ownership

The delivered goods remain the legal property of elysia until the purchase price has been fully paid.

§ 10 Warranties and Claims for Damages

1. For all defects of the goods which occur during the defects liability period the legal warranty claims, as fixed by the German Cicil Law, take place.

2. Defects or other damages owing to culpable or inappropriate handling, improper installation or use of inappropriate accessories or an alteration of the original components by the customer or by a third party not authorized by elysia, are not protected by warranty.

3. Naturally occurring signs of use are equally excluded from warranty protection.

4. elysia is liable for damages arising from other causes than the detriment to life, body and health only to the extent these have their basis in a premeditated act, gross negligence or the culpable violation of a fundamental contractual obligation on the part of elysia or its legal proxies. Liability for compensation claims above and beyond this are excluded. The legal stipulations of German product liability laws remain unaffected. elysia is not liable for the absolute availability of its online store as it cannot assure the error-free data communication on the internet.

§ 11 Producer Guarantee

In addition to warranty services prescribed by law, elysia provides a 24-month guarantee defined by the following regulations:

1. elysia provides a guarantee for a period of 24 months beginning with the first sale or date of delivery to the end consumer for all damages caused by a material deficiency or manufacturing error.

2. Excluded from the guarantee are all defects caused by the wrong or inappropriate use of the article, by wrong connection with other instruments or non-conventional use. Besides, the guarantee is excluded for defects arising from interference by a third party or unauthorized changes of the instrument. elysia reserves the right to object to guarantee claims if the product has not been sold directly by elysia or an authorized retailer to the end user.

3. Product defects which should receive guarantee protection are to be corrected in the following way: The defective article will either be repaired free of charge or the defective article will be replaced by a fully functional equivalent. Hereby, the customer’s rights raising of the product liability laws of the country where the product has been bought are not limited.

4. Condition for warranty adjustment is that the customer sends back to elysia the completed guarantee card with the serial number, date of sale, company’s stamp, evidence to have bought the product directly from elysia or the signature of the authorized retailer, customer’s name and address and a copy of the sales receipt. If defects appear during the guarantee period please contact the authorized retailer from whom you have bought the product or send us an email to support@elysia.com. If the product has to be send back to us this is only possible with prior consultation and if the following two conditions are fulfilled:

  • The product is in its original packaging or at least in an equal packaging.
  • An exact description of the defect and a copy of the sales receipt are attached to the instrument.

§ 12 Data protection

All customer details and data collected will not be passed on to a third party. The data will only be transferred to a third party if this is necessary for the implementation of the contract. All collected customer data is stored solely for contractual and further informational use. The customer may object to the storage of data for consignment of informational content at any time at the aforementioned address.

§ 13 Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction

1. This Agreement and its execution shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany under the exclusion of the CISG.

2. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for any legal proceedings against elysia GmbH is Krefeld, Federal Republic of Germany as far as the customer is a businessman, dealer, legal person from the public sector or special property of the public sector.

3. This English version of the General Terms and Conditions merely has explanatory character. In case of doubt on the interpretation of contractual regulations the German language version always prevails.

§ 14 Miscellaneous

Should a provision in this Agreement be or become invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. In such a case, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a lawfully one.
