GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1 Scope

The following General Terms and Conditions will exclusively apply for the business relationship between Provital GmbH (hereinafter Provital) and the purchaser in their current valid version at the time that the order is made. Purchaser’s terms that deviate from these terms will not be recognised by Provital unless Provital has expressly agreed to their validity.

2 Conclusion of contract

(1) The presentation of goods, in particular on the internet, does not constitute a binding offer.

(2) The customer will be informed of receipt of their order by email. This order confirmation also represents acceptance of the purchase agreement by Provital.

(3) Delivery will be made - unless otherwise agreed - from the warehouse to the delivery address indicated by the customer. Delivery will be made within five working days, whereby Monday to Friday are regarded as working days with the exception of public holidays. The notice period will commence from the issuing of the payment order to the receiving credit institution for advance payments by bank transfer and on conclusion of the contract for all other payment methods.

If the purchased item is defective then the statutory provisions shall apply. Insofar as the purchased item is defective the purchaser is entitled, at his own option, to choose either supplementary performance in the form of remedying the defect or delivery of a product that is free from defects. In the event of remedying the defect being chosen by the purchaser Provital is obligated to bear all necessary expenses for the purpose of remedying the defect. If the supplementary performance is unsuccessful then the purchaser is entitled to demand withdrawal from the contract or a price reduction at his option.

If the supplementary performance takes place in the form of replacement of goods the purchaser is obligated to have the initially delivered goods collected by Provital at Provital’s expense within 30 days. Provital reserves the right to claim damages in accordance with the statutory guidelines. The limitation period is two years, calculated from delivery.
