1) Scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Yu Xian Yang, trading as "Dottilove DT" (hereinafter "Seller"), shall apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods which an entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These GTC shall also apply exclusively if the Seller makes the delivery to the Customer without any special reservation in the knowledge that the Customer's terms and conditions conflict with or deviate from these GTC.

1.3 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions presented in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve for the submission of a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the Seller's online shop. In doing so, after placing the selected goods and/or services in the virtual shopping basket and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.3 The Seller may accept the Customer's offer within five days,
- by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer shall be decisive, or by the customer, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive
- by requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed the order, or
- if payment by direct debit is offered and the customer chooses this method of payment, by collecting the total price from the customer's bank account, in which case the time at which the customer's account is debited is decisive

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract shall be concluded at the time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer shall no longer be bound by its declaration of intent.

2.4 If the customer chooses a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the Terms and Conditions for Payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.5 When an offer is made via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract is stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent his order. The Seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed by the customer free of charge via his password-protected user account by providing the relevant login data.

2.6 Before bindingly placing the order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7 Only the German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 Order processing and contacting usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, if SPAM filters are used, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

2.9 If the parties have agreed on special conditions, these shall in principle not apply to simultaneously ongoing and future contractual relationships with the customer.

2.10 In the event of the Customer's economic inability to fulfil its obligations towards the Seller, the Seller may terminate existing exchange contracts with the Customer by rescinding them without notice. This shall also apply if the customer files for insolvency. § Section 321 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and Section 112 of the German Insolvency Code (InsO) shall remain unaffected. The customer shall inform the seller in writing at an early stage of any impending insolvency.

3) Prices and terms of payment

3.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are net prices plus the statutory value added tax. Packaging and shipping costs, loading, insurance (in particular transport insurance), customs duties and levies shall be charged separately, if applicable.

3.2 In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

3.3 Various payment options are available to the Customer, which are indicated in the Seller's online shop.

3.4 If prepayment by bank transfer is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

3.5 If the payment method "SOFORT" is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter "SOFORT"). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the customer must have an online banking account that has been activated for participation in "SOFORT", identify himself accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then immediately carried out by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account is debited. More detailed information on the "SOFORT" payment method is available to the customer on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.

3.6 If a payment method offered via the payment service "mollie" is selected, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Mollie B.V., Keizersgracht 313, 1016 EE Amsterdam, The Netherlands (hereinafter: "mollie"). The individual payment methods offered via mollie will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop. For the processing of payments, mollie may use other payment services, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the Customer may be informed separately. Further information on "mollie" is available on the Internet at https://www.mollie.com/de/.

3.7 A payment shall be deemed to have been received as soon as the equivalent amount has been credited to one of the Seller's accounts. In the event of default in payment, the Seller shall be entitled to interest on arrears at a rate of 10 percentage points above the respective base rate. The Seller's other statutory rights in the event of a default in payment by the customer shall remain unaffected. If claims are overdue, incoming payments shall first be credited against any costs and interest, then against the oldest claim.

3.8 If unforeseeable cost increases occur (e.g. currency fluctuations, unexpected price increases by suppliers, etc.), the seller is entitled to pass on the price increase to the customer. However, this shall only apply if the delivery is to be made later than four months after the conclusion of the contract as agreed.

3.9 The Seller reserves the right to set a minimum order value for deliveries outside Germany. The amount of the minimum order value will be communicated to the customer separately in the Seller's online shop, if applicable.

4) Delivery and shipping conditions

4.1 The delivery of goods shall be made by dispatch to the delivery address specified by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address specified in the Seller's order processing shall be decisive in the processing of the transaction.

4.2 The Seller is entitled to make partial deliveries insofar as this is reasonable for the Customer. In the case of permissible partial deliveries, the Seller is also entitled to issue partial invoices.

4.3 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has, with due diligence, concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier. The Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer shall be informed immediately and the consideration shall be refunded without delay.

4.4 The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. This shall also apply if the seller bears the costs of transport. Transport insurance shall only be taken out at the special request and for the account of the customer.

4.5 In the event that the shipment of the goods to the customer is delayed for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the transfer of risk shall take place as soon as the customer is notified that the goods are ready for shipment. Any storage costs incurred after the transfer of risk shall be borne by the customer.

4.6 In the event of self-collection, the Seller shall first inform the Customer by e-mail that the goods ordered by the Customer are ready for collection. After receipt of this e-mail, the customer can collect the goods by arrangement with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.

5) Force majeure

In the event of force majeure affecting the performance of the contract, the Seller shall be entitled to postpone delivery for the duration of the hindrance and, in the event of longer-term delays, to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part, without this giving rise to any claims against the Seller. Force majeure shall be deemed to be all events unforeseeable by the Seller or such events which - even if they were foreseeable - are beyond the Seller's control and whose effect on the performance of the contract cannot be prevented by the Seller's reasonable efforts. Any statutory claims of the customer shall remain unaffected.

6) Delay in performance at the request of the customer

If dispatch or delivery of the goods is delayed at the customer's request by more than one month after notification of readiness for dispatch, the customer may be charged storage costs of 0.5% of the purchase price for each additional month or part thereof, but not more than a total of 5% of the purchase price. The contracting parties are at liberty to prove higher or lower damages.

7) Retention of title

7.1 The Seller shall retain title to the goods delivered until the purchase price owed has been paid in full. Furthermore, the seller retains ownership of the delivered goods until all his claims arising from the business relationship with the customer have been fulfilled.

7.2 In the event of processing of the delivered goods, the seller shall be deemed to be the manufacturer and shall acquire ownership of the newly created goods. If the processing is carried out together with other materials, the seller acquires ownership in the ratio of the invoice values of his goods to that of the other materials. If, in the event of the Seller's goods being combined or mixed with an item belonging to the customer, the latter is to be regarded as the main item, co-ownership of the item shall pass to the Seller in the ratio of the invoice value of the Seller's goods to the invoice value or, in the absence of such, to the market value of the main item. In such cases, the customer shall be deemed to be the custodian.

7.3 The customer may neither pledge nor assign by way of security items subject to retention of title or reservation of rights. The customer is only permitted to resell the goods in the ordinary course of business as a reseller on the condition that the customer has effectively assigned to the seller its claims against its customers in connection with the resale and the customer transfers ownership to its customer subject to payment. By concluding the contract, the customer assigns its claims against its customers in connection with such sales to the seller by way of security, and the seller accepts this assignment at the same time.

7.4 The customer shall immediately notify the seller of any access to the goods owned or co-owned by the seller or to the assigned claims. He shall immediately pay to the Seller any amounts assigned to the Seller and collected by him, insofar as the Seller's claim is due.

7.5 If the value of the Seller's security interests exceeds the amount of the secured claims by more than 10%, the Seller shall release a corresponding proportion of the security interests at the request of the customer.

8) Liability

The Seller shall be liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory claims, including claims in tort, for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:

8.1 The Seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason
- in the event of intent or gross negligence,
- in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, body or
health,
- on the basis of a guarantee promise, insofar as nothing else is regulated in this respect,
- on the basis of mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.

8.2 If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless liability is unlimited pursuant to the preceding clause. Material contractual obligations are obligations which the contract imposes on the Seller according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and compliance with which the customer may regularly rely on.

8.3 In all other respects, any liability on the part of the Seller is excluded.

8.4 The above liability provisions shall also apply with regard to the Seller's liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

9) Limitation

Claims of the customer against the seller shall become statute-barred - with the exception of the claims regulated under the item "Liability for defects / warranty" - one year after knowledge of the facts giving rise to the claim, but no later than five years after performance of the service, unless liability is unlimited in accordance with the above item.

10) Retention, assignment

10.1 The customer's rights of retention and rights to refuse performance shall be excluded unless the seller does not dispute the underlying counterclaims or these have been legally established.

10.2 Assignment by the customer of claims arising from the contract concluded with the customer, in particular assignment of any claims for defects by the customer, is excluded.

11) Special conditions for the processing of goods according to certain specifications of the customer

11.1 If, according to the content of the contract, the Seller is also obliged to process the goods according to certain specifications of the customer in addition to the delivery of the goods, the customer shall provide the Seller with all content required for the processing, such as texts, images or graphics in the file formats, formatting, image and file sizes specified by the Seller and grant the Seller the necessary rights of use for this purpose. The customer alone shall be responsible for the procurement and acquisition of rights to this content. The customer declares and assumes responsibility that he has the right to use the content provided to the seller. In particular, he shall ensure that no rights of third parties are infringed thereby, in particular copyrights, trademark rights and personal rights.

11.2 The customer shall indemnify the seller against claims of third parties which the latter may assert against the seller in connection with an infringement of their rights by the contractual use of the customer's content by the seller. In this context, the customer shall also bear the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defence, including all court costs and lawyers' fees in the statutory amount. This shall not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the customer is obliged to provide the seller immediately, truthfully and completely with all information required for the examination of the claims and a defence.

11.3 The Seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the Customer for this purpose violates statutory or official prohibitions or offends common decency. This applies in particular to the provision of anti-constitutional, racist, xenophobic, discriminatory, offensive, youth-endangering and/or violence-glorifying content.

12) Applicable law, place of jurisdiction

12.1 All legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of movable goods.

12.2 If the customer acts as a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the Seller's registered office. If the customer has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller's registered office shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract. In the above cases, however, the Seller shall in any case be entitled to bring the matter before the court at the Customer's place of business.
