1.2 These terms and conditions apply if the buyer is a consumer or an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 1 KSchG (both referred to as “customer”). Insofar as provisions of these terms and conditions are not applicable to consumers, this is expressly clarified below.
1.3 The customer's general conditions, in particular general purchasing conditions, do not apply, even if EMS does not decisively object to them. Such conditions only apply if the parties have reached a corresponding written agreement on a case-by-case basis.
1.4 EMS reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. The terms and conditions in force at the time the customer orders apply to the sale and delivery of products.
1.5 If EMS intends to change these terms and conditions, in particular for the provision of services, the intended change will be notified to the customer in advance in writing or by e-mail. If the customer does not object within fourteen days, the customer's consent to the amendment of the terms and conditions is considered to have been given. EMS will draw particular attention to the significance of the failure to appeal.
1.6 If the customer objects to the amendment to the terms and conditions, EMS is entitled to extraordinarily terminate the contract subject to a notice period of two weeks.
2. ORDER, ORDER CONFIRMATION AND SHIPPING CONFIRMATION
2.1 The EMS products and services presented and the associated price information represent an invitation to the customer to send EMS a binding offer to purchase the products or service (“order”). Unless otherwise agreed, orders placed by the customer are binding for a period of 14 (fourteen) days.
2.2 If an order is placed in the web shop, EMS will send the customer a confirmation to the email address provided by him that EMS has received the order (“order confirmation”). If the customer orders from EMS via another channel, EMS sends the customer an order confirmation (“order confirmation”). This order confirmation and confirmation of acceptance do not represent acceptance of the customer's order, but merely confirm receipt. EMS is free to accept or reject the customer's order in whole or in part without giving reasons.
2.3 The customer's order is accepted by EMS (i) in which all or only individual products are actually handed over to the shipping service provider for shipping or (ii) the acceptance of the order is explicitly declared by EMS. EMS will send the customer confirmation of shipment of all or individual products to the email address provided by him (“shipping confirmation”).
2.4 Upon receipt of the shipping confirmation or explicit confirmation of acceptance of the contract, the contract for the sale and delivery of the products is concluded between the customer and EMS. The agreed content of the contract is specified in the order confirmation or, in the case of an order in the web shop, in the shipping confirmation.
2.5 Illustrations, drawings, dimensional and performance specifications as well as public statements (e.g. on the website or in marketing documents) are not part of the contract unless they are expressly described as binding in the description of the products.
3. PRICES AND PAYMENT
3.1 All prices quoted are in euros including sales tax, but excluding shipping costs, unless otherwise stated.
3.2 Unless otherwise agreed, EMS delivers products and provides services only after EMS has received the agreed fee in full. EMS therefore only enters into an obligation to deliver when payment has been received from the customer (“advance payment”).
3.3 In the event that the customer defaults on payment, 7% default interest per annum will be agreed. A lump sum of EUR 15.00 is charged for reminders.
3.4 Unless otherwise stated, the shipping costs for delivery addresses in Austria and Germany are EUR 250 gross.
4. DELIVERY DATE AND DELAY
4.1 Delivery dates specified by EMS are based on the information provided by the contracted shipping service provider and are non-binding, unless otherwise agreed.
4.2 If failure to comply with a performance or delivery date expressly agreed as binding is due to force majeure, industrial action or other events beyond EMS's control, the performance period is extended in any case appropriately for the duration of the impediment. EMS will inform the customer of the beginning and end of such circumstances as soon as possible, without the customer being able to derive claims of any kind from the failure to notify them.
4.3 In the event that EMS is in default, the customer must set EMS a grace period of at least four weeks in writing. Withdrawal from the contract by the customer due to default on the part of EMS is only permitted after the grace period set has expired without result. This provision does not apply if the customer is a consumer.
5. DELIVERY AND TRANSFER OF RISK
5.1 If the customer is a consumer and EMS ships the products, the risk of loss or damage to the products is only transferred to the customer when the products are delivered to the customer or to a third party specified by the customer. If the customer has concluded the contract of carriage himself without using a selection option suggested by EMS, the risk is transferred to the shipping service provider as soon as the products are handed over.
5.2 If the customer is an entrepreneur and nothing to the contrary has been agreed, the FCA registered office of EMS (Incoterms 2020) is considered agreed.
6. RETENTION OF TITLE
6.1 EMS reserves title to the products until full payment of the purchase price and additional charges (in particular shipping costs) by the customer.
6.2 If the customer sells the products, he hereby assigns to EMS the claims arising from the sale against the third party with all ancillary rights until they have been met in full.

10TH VESUBSCRIPTION MODEL SUBSCRIPTION TERMS (“VBA”)
10.1 Scope
EasyMotionSkin Tec GmbH, FN 446877y LG Innsbruck, Gewerbegebiet 47, 6103 Reith bei Seefeld (EMS) will be the customer's contract partner
Some provisions of the terms and conditions apply to the customer only if he is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB or an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB. The customer is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB if he uses the provider's services for a purpose that cannot be attributed to commercial or independent professional activity.
The “for rent” agreements made between the provider and the customer result from the following VBA, the privacy policy and the order confirmation. Divergent or supplementary regulations made by the customer do not apply. They do not apply even if the provider does not expressly object to the inclusion.
10.2 Subject matter of the contract
This contract regulates the rental of goods, hereinafter referred to as “goods”.
10.3 Conclusion of the rental agreement, shipping or handing over of the goods
a. Conclusion of contract
The ordering process leading to the conclusion of the contract comprised the following steps:
Selection of the goods in the desired specification (type of object, contract period/frequency of payments, and, if applicable, size and color of the item.)
Provide the billing and delivery address
Payment method selection
After ordering the goods, the customer receives a non-binding confirmation of the rental request. After successful review of the order, the rental contract is concluded.
The customer assures that all data provided by him when registering or ordering (e.g. name, address, email address, bank details, VAT ID, if applicable) is correct and that he has not used any data from third parties. The customer undertakes to immediately notify the provider of any changes to the data. The customer is liable for misuse of access data by third parties, insofar as he is responsible for them. This may also mean that he is obliged to pay usage fees for goods that he has not ordered himself.
The privacy policy applies to the user's personal data collected during collection.
When ordering via the website, the provider only enters into contractual relationships with natural persons of legal age who have full legal capacity. We ensure the minimum age by using a reliable process including personal identity and age verification. Orders can also be placed by a legal entity or partnership. The registration of a legal entity or partnership as a customer may only be carried out by a natural person authorized to represent it or a person authorized by it who must be named, hereinafter “authorized representative”.
c. Dispatch or transfer of goods:
If the goods are ordered, the goods will only be shipped when the customer has paid the first month's rent. As long as the condition of successful initial payment is not met, the provider is entitled to withhold the goods. No usage fee is payable for the period between dispatch of the goods and their delivery to the customer (see section 10.6). The paid rent only starts when the goods are delivered to the customer.
10.4 Right of withdrawal
If the customer is a consumer, he is entitled to cancel his contract declaration. Customers who are entrepreneurs have no right of withdrawal.
Information about the conditions of exercise and the legal consequences of canceling the rent can be found in the separate cancellation policy, which is referred to here.
10.5 Start of rental, contract duration, termination
Has the customer rented the goods via the website (Section 10.3.a. (i.) (a)), the rental period begins with delivery of the goods to the customer, hereinafter “delivery”. The goods are considered delivered within the meaning of this provision when the supplier commissioned by the provider has delivered the goods to the customer.
The term of the contract and the right of termination depend on the customer's choice when ordering.
Unless otherwise agreed, the following applies:
a) In the case of a specific minimum period: The contract is concluded for the period specified when ordering. The parties have the right to cancel the contract with a notice period of one month before the end of the contract period without giving reasons. If the parties do not exercise this right to cancel, the contract is automatically extended for an indefinite period with an option to cancel under the “pay as you go” conditions described under (b).
b) In the case of an indefinite contract period, so-called “pay as you go”: The contract is concluded for an indefinite period. Both parties have the right to cancel the contract on a monthly basis without giving reasons. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. In particular but not exclusively, the provider is entitled to extraordinary termination, in cases
- the delay in payment with two consecutive usage fees to be paid;
- the late payment of the usage fee if the customer has already been warned or reminded due to repeated payment delays;
- sustained seizures or other enforcement measures directed against the customer or judicial or extrajudicial insolvency proceedings opened against the customer;
- the unauthorised transfer of the goods to third parties;
- the significant risk of the goods as a result of poor care or improper and illegal use; or
- for other important reasons on the part of the provider.
The termination must be made in writing. The cancellation is effective upon receipt by the provider. If the provider terminates a rental agreement, the customer is obliged to immediately return the rental items with all accessories to the provider. Payments made in advance are not refundable regardless of when the customer returns the device.
10.6 Terms of delivery
The product is delivered to the shipping address provided by the customer. The provider is entitled to make partial deliveries to a reasonable extent. Should the provider discover while processing the order that the product ordered by the customer is not available despite careful examination of the inventory and for reasons beyond the supplier's control, the customer will be informed of this by e-mail and a contract will not be concluded. If the provider has previously accepted the customer's contract offer through the rental or purchase confirmation, the provider is entitled to withdraw. Any payments made will be refunded immediately. The delivery times specified in connection with the presentation of the offer are approximate. They are therefore considered to be only approximate. If the specified delivery date is exceeded by more than four weeks, each party is entitled to withdraw from the contract. If the provider is not responsible for a permanent delivery impediment, in particular force majeure or non-delivery by its own suppliers, although a corresponding hedging transaction has been made in good time, the provider has the right to withdraw from a contract with the customer in this respect. The customer will be informed immediately and any services received, in particular payments, will be refunded. The obligation to compensate for damage caused by delay is limited in foreseeable, typical ways. This limitation of liability does not apply in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of contract. The above limitation of liability does not affect the provider's liability for culpable injury to life, body and health.
10.7 Retention of title
The delivered goods remain permanently the property of the provider.
During the rental period, the customer may not transfer the use of the goods to a third party without the prior written consent of the provider, in particular not sell, gift, rent or loan. Excluded from this is the free use of the goods by persons belonging to the customer's household or employees of the customer.
The customer is obliged to keep the goods free from third-party rights during the rental period.
The customer may not change the goods. No change in the goods is a removal of a defect in accordance with the requirements of Section 536a (2) BGB or wear and tear of the goods as a result of use in accordance with the contract within the meaning of Section 538 BGB. The customer is not entitled to reimbursement of expenses for changes made by him in accordance with Section 539 (1) BGB. The provider is entitled to restore the original condition after the end of the contract at the customer's expense. The customer is exempted from his obligation to pay if the original condition can only be restored with disproportionate effort.
10.8 Usage fees, shipping costs
The provider charges usage fees for the use of the goods. The amount of the usage fees results from the order confirmation. All rental prices are final prices and include statutory sales tax. In addition to the final prices, there are additional costs, depending on the shipping method, which are specified and notified before the order is sent.
The provider is entitled to change the usage fees for the next contract period. The provider will inform the customer of this no later than six weeks before the change comes into force. If the customer does not agree with the change, he can cancel the user agreement up to two weeks before the price change comes into force. If there is no cancellation, the customer's consent to the price change is fabricated. The provider will separately point out the possibility of termination and compliance with the deadline.
If the customer returns the goods to the supplier without the accessories provided to him by the supplier together with the goods, the customer is obliged to return the missing accessories and the missing component within one month at the provider's request. Should the customer not return the missing accessory or component within one month despite the provider's request, the provider is free to demand the value of the missing accessory or component.
10.9 Payment terms
Payment is processed by the provider of the goods - in its own name or on behalf of the provider. The customer only has the following payment options: Payment service provider (e.g. PayPal, Stripe...), credit card and SEPA direct debit. When using a payment service provider, this allows the provider and customer to process the payment between themselves. In doing so, the payment service provider forwards the customer's payment to the provider. For more information, please visit the website of the respective payment service provider. When paying by credit card, the customer must be the legal cardholder. The credit card will be charged once the rental request is confirmed. As part of a SEPA direct debit procedure, the bank, BIC and IBAN of the customer's bank account are required. By selecting the SEPA direct debit procedure, the customer authorizes the provider to collect payments from his bank account by direct debit. At the same time, he instructs his bank to redeem the direct debits drawn to his bank account by the provider. The customer's bank account will be charged after the order has been completed. Within the framework of the conditions agreed with his bank, the customer can request reimbursement of the debited amount within eight weeks, starting from the debit date. The customer can revoke his SEPA direct debit mandate in accordance with Section 675p BGB.
The usage fees are to be paid by the customer in advance and regardless of the actual period of use of the item and will not be refunded if the customer returns the item to the provider before the end of the contract period. There is no right to partial refund or crediting. In the case of a contract with a minimum term, the usage fee is due upon conclusion of the rental agreement, but before dispatch of the goods (see section 10.3.c.) and then on the 1st of the first month of the respective contract extension. In the case of a contract with an indefinite term, the first monthly payment is due upon conclusion of the rental agreement, but before dispatch of the goods (see section 10.3.c.) on the 1st of each new month of use.
If the customer is in default of payment, the provider is entitled to claim default interest of 9% points above the base interest rate, unless the customer is a consumer. In this case, the default interest is 5% points above the base interest rate. The provider reserves the right to prove higher damage. Against the provider's payment claim, customers may only offset claims that are undisputed by the provider or have been legally established against the provider. This does not apply if the customer's claim resulted from a claim in kind that entitles the customer to refuse to provide benefits. Customers may only exercise a right of retention if their counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
10.10 Customer Responsibility
As usual, use must be carried out carefully while minimizing the expected damage. In the event of any damage or other impairment of the rental property during the rental period, the customer is obliged to immediately inform the provider in writing of all details of the event that led to the damage to the property. In the event of damage to the goods and other violations of the rental agreement concluded between the customer and the provider, the customer is generally liable in accordance with legal regulations.
10.11 Exemption from liability of the provider
The customer releases the provider from all claims made by third parties against the provider due to improper, contrary to contract or illegal use of the rental property, unless he is not responsible for them. In the event of an exemption in accordance with sentence 1, the customer shall compensate the provider for any damage suffered by the provider as a result of improper, contrary to contract or illegal use, including any costs of legal defense. The user immediately informs the provider if third parties assert claims due to improper, contracted or illegal use of the goods and supports the provider in legal defense.
10.12 Prohibition of assignment, pledge and transfer of use
Claims or rights of the customer against the provider may not be assigned or pledged without the latter's consent, unless the customer has demonstrated a legitimate interest in the assignment or pledge. During the term of the rental agreement, any goods owned by the customer, which are nevertheless owned by the provider, or one of his business partners, sister or subsidiary companies, or other contractual partners, may neither be transferred by the customer to a third party, nor re-let, leased, sold, encumbered with a lien or otherwise made the subject of a transaction.
10.13 Data protection
Please note our privacy policy.
10.14. Online dispute resolution and consumer arbitration board
If the customer is a consumer, the following notice applies: The European Commission offers a platform for online dispute resolution, which can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. The provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before consumer arbitration boards
10.15 Customer Service
You can contact our customer service via the contact details published on our website.
10.16 Amendments
The provider is entitled to make changes to the terms of use at any time, unless essential provisions of the contractual relationship (in particular type and scope, duration, termination) are included. The customer will be notified of the amended conditions in writing at least six weeks before they come into force. The changes are considered approved if the customer does not object to them within six weeks of receipt of the notification. The provider will separately inform the customer of the possibility of objection and compliance with the deadline. If the right of objection is exercised, the changes will not become part of the contract and the contract will continue unchanged.
In the event of a timely objection by the customer to the amended subscription model terms, the provider is entitled, while maintaining the legitimate interests of the customer, to cancel the existing contract with the customer at the time when the change comes into force. Corresponding user content is then deleted from the database. The user cannot make any claims against the provider as a result.
10.17 Applicable Law
The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply to the terms and conditions and the contractual relationship between the provider and the customer. The application of German international private law and the UN sales law is excluded. If the customer is a consumer, the choice of law does not result in him being deprived of the protection granted to him under the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law applicable at his habitual residence. The choice of law also does not mean that he must enforce his law before a foreign court.
10.18 Final provisions
Should individual provisions of the AGB/VBA be ineffective, this does not affect their effectiveness. If the customer is a merchant within the meaning of the Commercial Code, Innsbruck (AT) is agreed as the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising between the customer and the provider.
