1.2 The prerequisite for orders in the Gardena Dealer Portal is the registration of a customer account for the Gardena Dealer Portal. As part of the registration, the customer must provide information about his entrepreneurial status (e.B. indication of VAT ID, company and association membership) in order to enable Gardena to verify the entrepreneurial status. After successful verification, Gardena sends the customer the initial login data via e-mail, with which he can log in to the Gardena dealer portal.

1.3 Unless otherwise agreed, our GTC in the version current at the time of the customer's order shall also apply as a framework agreement (§ 305 para. 3 BGB) for subsequent contracts within the meaning of 1.1 with the same customer, without Gardena having to refer to them again.

1.4 The GTC of Gardena apply exclusively. Conflicting, deviating or supplementary terms and conditions of the customer are hereby rejected and do not become part of the contract, unless Gardena expressly agrees to their validity.

 

2. Conclusion of contract, reservation of change

2.1 Gardena's offers are always subject to change, unless they are expressly marked as binding.

2.2 Orders of the customer, also by clicking on the "Send order" button on the final order page of the Gardena dealer portal, represent a binding offer to conclude a contract.

2.3 A contract is only concluded upon receipt of an order confirmation from Gardena by the customer or the execution of the delivery by Gardena.

2.4 In the interest of further technical development, Gardena reserves the right to slightly change the design and execution of the goods even after acceptance of the order, provided that this does not unreasonably impair the interests of the customer.

Other statutory rights remain unaffected.

4.4 Gardena shall supply the Customer within the credit limit set by Gardena. The credit limit is updated annually. If the credit limit has been exhausted and incoming orders from the customer are therefore not delivered, Gardena will inform the customer thereof. Gardena is entitled to reduce or delete the credit limit granted to the customer if the customer does not comply with the payment terms granted to him or if Gardena becomes aware of circumstances that allow conclusions to be drawn about a reduced creditworthiness of the customer.

4.5 If, after conclusion of the contract, a significant deterioration or change occurs in the financial circumstances of the customer, which jeopardizes Gardena's claim to the consideration, or if such a situation already existed at the customer at the time of conclusion of the contract, but gardena only became aware of this retrospectively, Gardena may refuse performance until the consideration has been fulfilled. A significant deterioration is to be suspected in particular in the case of enforcement measures against the customer, rejections of an important loan or surrender of uncovered checks. In such cases, Gardena may set the customer a reasonable deadline for the provision of the consideration or security step by step against its own performance. If the consideration or security is nevertheless not provided, Gardena is entitled to withdraw from the contract.

4.6 The customer is only entitled to set-off or retention if his counterclaims have been legally established or are undisputed.

 

5. Delivery period, delivery, partial deliveries, transport damage

5.1 Delivery periods are only binding if Gardena has expressly confirmed them in writing. Delivery periods shall be extended to a reasonable extent if the customer does not fulfil the cooperation activities incumbent on him in good time or if the customer requests changes, unless Gardena is responsible for the delays.

5.2 Compliance with the delivery deadlines is subject to the proviso that Gardena is supplied correctly and on time by its own suppliers, insofar as Gardena is not responsible for the delivery delays on the part of its own suppliers. Gardena will notify the Customer of any impending delays as soon as possible.

In the event of seizure or other interventions by third parties in the reserved goods, the customer must notify Gardena immediately in writing so that Gardena can bring an action for third-party objection pursuant to § 771 ZPO and take other measures to protect the ownership of the reserved goods. Insofar as the third party is not in a position to reimburse the judicial or extrajudicial costs incurred by Gardena in an action pursuant to § 771 ZPO, the customer shall be liable for the loss incurred by Gardena.

7.4 The customer is entitled to sell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. The customer hereby assigns to Gardena the claims arising from the sale of the reserved goods, regardless of whether further processed, combined, mixed or not, in the amount of Gardena's claim from the respective contract. Gardena hereby accepts this assignment. The customer is revocably entitled to collect the assigned claims. Gardena's right to collect the claim remains unaffected. Gardena will not collect the claims itself and will not revoke the collection authorization as long as the customer fulfils his payment obligations and is not in default of payment. For justified reasons, the customer is obliged, at the request of Gardena, to notify his customer of the assignment and to provide Gardena with the information and documents necessary to assert his own rights.

The customer may only pay damages in accordance with para. 10.

8.5 The warranty period is twelve (12) months after delivery of the goods. This period does not apply to claims for damages of the customer according to para. 10 and for cases of recourse according to §§ 445a, 445b BGB in conjunction with § V.m. § 478 BGB, insofar as the end customer is a consumer.
