Terms & Conditions

General terms and conditions of business for the BREE online store

General, applicability, customer group, language

1. All offers, sales agreements, deliveries and services connected to orders of our customers via our online store www.bree.com (hereinafter referred to as the “webshop”) are subject to these general terms and conditions of business. In particular, they shall apply in respect of all deliveries between ourselves and a consumer in the version valid at the time of the order.

2. The product range in our webshop is tailored towards consumers. For the purpose of these general terms and conditions of business, (i) a consumer is any natural person who concludes the contract for a purpose which is neither commercial nor can it be attributed to the person’s independent professional occupation (§ 13 of the German Civil Code – BGB).

3. The terms and conditions of business of the Customer shall not apply, even if we do not separately object to their applicability in individual cases.

 
4. The contracts with the Customer shall be exclusively concluded in the German (or English) language (depending on whether the Customer places the order via the German or English page of the webshop). Should the order of the Customer take place via our German language website, the German version of these general terms and conditions of business shall be exclusively applicable accordingly. Should the order of the Customer take place via our English language website, the English version of these general terms and conditions of business shall be exclusively decisive.

Conclusion of the contract, order

1. Our goods presentation in the webshop merely represents a non-binding invitation to order a product from us.
 
2. By means of entry and sending of an order in the webshop (which requires prior registration and acceptance of these general terms and conditions of business), the Customer is making a binding offer to purchase the product concerned and to conclude a sales agreement. The Customer shall be bound by the offer until expiry of the third working day following the offer.
 
3. We shall send the customer a confirmation of receipt of the offer immediately following its receipt. The automatically created email order confirmation does not yet represent an acceptance of the offer, rather it merely confirms that the order has been received by us. The decision as to whether we accept the order shall be at our discretion. Should we be unable to process an order, we will inform you of such immediately. The offer shall not be deemed to have been accepted by us until we bindingly declare its acceptance to the Customer (by email) or deliver the goods. The sales agreement with the Customer shall not come into existence until our acceptance has taken place.
 
4.  Should we ascertain when processing your order that the product which you have chosen is no longer available, we will inform you of such via email. A contract concerning the non-available goods shall not come into existence due to lack of acceptance of the offer.
 
5. The order takes place in the following stages:
 
1) Selection of the requested goods
2) Confirmation by clicking the “PLACE IN SHOPPING BASKET” button
3) Checking of the details in the shopping basket
4) Confirmation via the “PROCEED TO CHECKOUT” button
5) Entry in the Internet shop following registration and entry of the required details (email address and password)
6) Repeat check and/or correction of the respective entered data
7) Binding transmission of the order
 
Prior to the binding transmission of the order, the consumer can re-access the Internet page on which the customer entries are gathered by clicking the “back” button in the Internet browser which they are using following a checking of their details and can correct entry errors or terminate the order process by closing the Internet browser.
 
6. Saving of the contractual text in case of orders via our online store: We will save the order and send you the order details, as well as our general terms and condition of business via email. You can also view the general terms and conditions of business at any time at http://bree.com/Terms-Conditions/.
 
7. Any customer who is a consumer is entitled to revoke the offer in accordance with the separate revocation instructions of which he or she is notified within the framework of the order on the website and to return the goods.
 
8. When BREE embosses products with a text according to customers´ orders, the company performs in the context of individualizing the product. The acquiring party is obligated to ensure that the text is not constrained by third party rights, does not offend common decency, or does not communicate content which could potentially hurt copyrights or other related rights/laws. BREE tries to examine product orders to the best of the company´s ability, and will reject any illicit data (e.g. abusive, slanderous, anti-constitutional, racist, sexist, glorifying violence, pornographic or otherwise discriminating messages.)

Consequences of revocation
Should you revoke this contract, we will immediately return all payments which we have received from you, including delivery costs (excluding any additional costs which may be due to you having chosen a different type of delivery than the low cost standard delivery offered by us) and at the latest within 14 days of the date on which the notice of your revocation of this contract or the returned goods were received by us. For this refund, we will use the same means of payment as you used in the original payment transaction, unless another payment method has been expressly agreed with you. On no account will you be charged any fees in connection with this refund. We shall be entitled to withhold payment of the refund until we have taken return receipt of the goods or until you have provided proof that you have returned the items. The respective earlier time shall be decisive in this respect.
You must return or hand over the goods immediately and at the latest within 14 days of the day on which you informed us of the revocation of the contract. The address is as follows:

The deadline will have been complied with if you dispatch the goods before expiry of the 14 day deadline. We will bear the costs and risks of the return of the goods. You will only be responsible for any reduction in value of the goods if this reduction in value results from handling by you which is not necessary to ascertain the quality, properties and functioning of the goods.

The Right of Withdrawal does not fall within the scope of costumer-personalized products. According to §312 paragraph 2 Nr. 1 BGB, the right of withdrawal excludes goods that are individually produced and customized in order to meet the costumer´s will. This includes, but does not conclude, BREE´s individual imprinting of products in regard to the client´s demand (e.g. name, address, phone number, or any other characteristics personalizing the product.) Warranty rights based on material defects remain unaffected.
