Preamble

Inter-Euro Medien GmbH operates the website(s) at eurocosmetics-mag.com and related subpages for commercial purposes and offers books, journals, magazines and related products for sale via these websites. The following General Terms & Conditions (GTC) govern purchases from Inter-Euro Medien GmbH unless otherwise agreed in writing.

§1 Product selection

  1. Customers may select and order products via the online store on eurocosmetics-mag.com.
  2. Each product offered online is accompanied by a product description on the respective product page.
  3. Selected products are collected in a virtual shopping cart and displayed to the customer including the total purchase price and applicable VAT prior to order confirmation.
  4. Before submitting an order, the customer is given the opportunity to review and correct the order (including price and quantity).

§2 Orders — Delivery dates

  1. Orders placed via the online store should include customer contact information (name, billing/shipping address, e-mail, telephone). Incomplete data which causes misdelivery is the customer’s responsibility. Inter-Euro Medien GmbH is not liable for misdeliveries resulting from incorrect or incomplete address data provided by the customer.
  2. Specific delivery dates for new releases or reprints cannot be guaranteed unless expressly promised in writing.

§3 Risk of shipment — Notification of defects

  1. Unless agreed otherwise, delivery is made at the customer’s risk. The risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer at the time of handover to the carrier.
  2. Claims for transport damage must be asserted with the carrier (postal service, freight company, etc.).
  3. Customers must notify Inter-Euro Medien GmbH of obvious defects within 8 days of receipt; otherwise the invoice is deemed accepted. When making a complaint, please quote customer number (if available), invoice number, and describe the defect and damaged items. The provisions of § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) apply.

§4 Prices

  1. The prices valid at the time of the order as shown on the website apply.
  2. Prices are quoted ex-works / from company location and include statutory VAT (where applicable) unless stated otherwise.

§5 Shipping costs

  1. Unless otherwise stated, prices are ex-works. Shipping and packaging costs are borne by the customer and are shown separately during checkout.
  2. The amount of shipping costs depends on type, weight and shipping destination. Special services (e.g., airmail) are charged separately on request.
  3. Shipping costs for trial subscriptions or specified promotional offers are handled as described on the relevant product or offer page.

§6 Retail prices / resale

  1. By accepting delivery, resellers undertake to observe any recommended retail prices where indicated. Inter-Euro Medien GmbH reserves the right to change prices. Products not subject to fixed price regulation will be flagged accordingly on invoices (e.g., “RRP” or similar).

§7 Retention of title

  1. All delivered goods remain the property of Inter-Euro Medien GmbH until full payment of all current and future claims arising from the business relationship has been made (extended reservation of title). The customer must not pledge, assign by way of security or otherwise dispose of the reserved goods. If resale occurs in the ordinary course of business, the purchaser’s claim resulting from the resale passes to Inter-Euro Medien GmbH by way of security.

§8 Special rules for magazine subscriptions

  1. Cancellations of subscriptions must be received in writing at least two (2) months before the end of the subscription year. Later cancellations can generally only be processed effective from the end of the following subscription year. Specific terms for promotional or trial subscriptions will be stated in the respective offer.

§9 Copyright / intellectual property

  1. All products and content supplied by Inter-Euro Medien GmbH are protected by copyright. Reproduction, distribution or any form of commercial exploitation (including digital reuse) requires the prior written consent of Inter-Euro Medien GmbH.

§10 Returns / exchanges

  1. Returns or exchanges of ordered goods are only accepted after prior written authorization by Inter-Euro Medien GmbH and may be subject to a handling fee (typically 10% of the retail price), provided goods are complete, undamaged and in resaleable condition (no price stickers, not damaged). Non-authorized returns cannot be credited.
  2. Return shipments must be sufficiently prepaid; unpaid returns will not be accepted. Inter-Euro Medien GmbH reserves the right to charge any additional costs incurred.

§11 Deliveries with return entitlement (consignment stock / RR)

  1. In exceptional cases and only by explicit agreement certain titles may be delivered with a return entitlement. Such consignments must be accounted for by the agreed date. If the agreed deadline is missed the consignment is considered finally accepted and payable.

§12 Formation of contract

  1. Offers on the website are non-binding. If an item is not available despite order placement, Inter-Euro Medien GmbH is not obliged to deliver. A contract is concluded when Inter-Euro Medien GmbH confirms the order in text form (e-mail, order confirmation) or dispatches the goods.

§13 Payments

  1. Invoices are due and payable without deductions by the payment date shown on the invoice. Payment is considered made when the funds are credited to Inter-Euro Medien GmbH’s account.
  2. Acceptable payment methods (where offered) include: credit card, bank transfer (advance), direct debit (where available for German customers). Contract and invoice currency is EUR.
  3. In case of default, reminder fees and interest on arrears of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate (or the statutory default interest where applicable) will be charged from the due date. If payment deadlines are exceeded, all outstanding invoices become immediately due.

§14 Warranty / liability for defects

  1. Descriptions, illustrations and technical data on promotional materials and the website are for information only. No warranty is given for absolute accuracy of such information—only the details in the order confirmation are binding for the scope of delivery. Statutory warranty provisions apply, subject to any restrictions expressly agreed.

§15 Data protection / data security

  1. Customer data (e. g. name, address, email, telephone, payment details) are processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and our Privacy Policy. We use customer data for order processing, invoicing and, where not objected to, for direct marketing of similar products. For security, online order processing is encrypted (SSL). More information is available in our Privacy Policy at eurocosmetics-mag.com.

§16 Final provisions

  1. Contract language is German and English. Where these Terms are provided in English, the German language version shall prevail in case of any contradiction only if explicitly stated — otherwise the English text governs for English-language transactions. (Choose one: if you want German to prevail, we can state that here.)
  2. If a provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The parties shall replace the invalid provision with a valid provision that best fulfils the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
  3. Diverging terms or conditions of the purchaser are only valid if expressly agreed in writing.

§17 Place of performance and jurisdiction

  1. Place of performance for deliveries and payments is Munich (München), Germany.
  2. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship shall be Munich, Germany, provided the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. Mandatory statutory provisions on exclusive jurisdictions remain unaffected.
