General Terms and Conditions for the purchase in the Vitra Circle Store and for the purchase of used items
Vitra Circle Store, Weil am Rhein
Status: October 2023
1. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
For all purchases of used items in our Circle Store on the Vitra Campus in D-79576 Weil am Rhein, the following General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively between us, Vitra GmbH, Charles-Eames-Str. 2, 79576 Weil am Rhein, Register Court Freiburg, HRB 410378, and the buyer in the version valid at the time of purchase, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
2. DISPLAY AND OFFER
The display of the goods in our Circle Store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but a non-binding invitation to submit an offer; errors in the labelling remain reserved.
3. PAYMENT
Payment for the goods is made by Maestro or credit card, whereby payment by Maestro or credit card is made on account of fulfilment. We accept VISA and MASTERCARD credit cards.
4. RETENTION OF TITLE
We reserve title to the goods delivered by us until the customer has paid the purchase price in full.
5. WARRANTY / USED ARTICLES
The statutory liability for defects applies to material defects or defects of title in our goods (subject to Section 6).
Used items are sold as seen. The age and condition of these items are taken into account when setting the price.
Used items show signs of wear. Such signs of use, which are to be expected due to the used nature of the items or which we refer to separately in the item description, do not constitute a defect and therefore do not entitle the customer to assert warranty claims.
6. LIABILITY
The following limitations of liability apply to any liability for damages, irrespective of their legal basis:
We shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions for any breach of material contractual obligations for which we are responsible, i.e. contractual obligations whose fulfilment characterises the contract and makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place. Insofar as we are not guilty of intentional or grossly negligent behaviour, however, we shall only be liable for typically foreseeable damage.
We shall only be liable for all other breaches of duty if the damage was caused intentionally or through gross negligence by one of our legal representatives or vicarious agents.
Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected; this also applies to liability for culpable injury to life, limb or health. If we assume a guarantee, we shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions. Unless otherwise stipulated above, claims for damages against us arising from breaches of duty are excluded.
7. DATA PROTECTION
We collect, process or use personal data only within the framework of data protection regulations. For details, please refer to our privacy policy, which the buyer can access at https://www.vitra.com/cpt or request from us at any time.
8. APPLICABLE LAW AND PLACE OF JURISDICTION
German law shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
If the customer is a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction shall be our registered office. However, we also have the right to sue the customer at his place of business.
