These general terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as the "GTC") govern the relationships between the company Basic-Fit International B.V., a company duly incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands ("besloten vennootschap") with a share capital of 180 euros, having its registered office at Wegalaan 60, 2132 JC Hoofddorp, the Netherlands, duly registered under the number KvK-34314877, having the VAT identification number 820016123B01, email address kundenservice@basic-fit.de (hereinafter referred to as the "Seller" or "Basic-Fit") and the consumer (hereinafter referred to as the "Buyer" or the "Client") for the products that can be found and that are purchased (hereinafter referred to as the "Products") on https://webshop.basic-fit.com/en/de/home(hereinafter referred to as the "Website").
Before any Order is concluded between the Seller and the Buyer, the text of these GTC will be made available to the Client. Shortly after concluding an Order, the Client will receive the GTC by e-mail.
These GTC are only applicable for Products that are purchased by Clients on their own behalf.
The GTC can be amended at any time by the Seller. The applicable GTC will be the version in force at the date of the Order by the Client. Before concluding the Order, the Client is asked to read the GTC by clicking on the link "general terms and conditions", to print them, to save them, and to accept them. For the best interest and the own protection of the Client, the Client is advised to carefully read the GTC before clicking and accepting them and before concluding the Order. If the Client does not fully understand any provision of the GTC, he can ask for further information by sending an email to kundenservice@basic-fit.de.
The Client hereby acknowledges that he/she had full access to these GTC before concluding the purchase, in a readable and understandable manner, and to any other information that is listed in the section 305 (2) German Civil Code ("BGB"), including but not limited through these GTC.
Therefore, the Client hereby declares to have fully read and accepted the GTC before concluding the online purchase. Consequently, these GTC are binding and actionable in accordance with the section 305 (2) German Civil Code.
These GTC enter into force between the parties on the date of Order as defined in Article 5 below, for the duration that is necessary for the supply of the Products, until the expiry of the obligations and guarantees from the Seller.
These GTC contain all of the obligations of the parties. Therefore, the Client is deemed to accept these GTC without any reservation.
These GTC apply with the exclusion of any other kind of provisions and/or terms and/or conditions, including but not limited to the ones that are applicable for any purchase on-site – if any – or for any other kind of distribution and/or commercialization channel – if any.
If one of the parties does not process a claim that would be based on a breach of a provision from these GTC, such behaviour shall not be interpreted as a waiver of such obligation and/or such provision.
If one or more provisions in these GTC at any time are wholly or partially void or cancelled, the other provisions of these GTC will remain in full force.
Article 2 – Definitions
Article: refers to an article of these GTC, unless otherwise is mentioned.
Basic-Fit or Seller: refers to the company Basic-Fit as described above and acting as the Seller.
Buyer or Client: refers to any natural person using the Website and concluding an Order online while acting as a consumer.
GTC: refers to these general terms and conditions.
Offer: refers to the Products that are advertised online by the Seller on the Website as described in Article 3 below. The presentation and description of the goods on the website does not constitute an offer of a contract (‘invitation ad offerendum');
Order: refers to the Products that are purchased online by the Buyer on the Website as described in Article 5 below.
Product(s): refers to any goods and/or services that are offered by the Seller on the Website.
Website: refers to the web shop owned by the Seller as described above.
Every definition refers both to singular, plural and all genders.
Article 3 – Offer
The Products advertised by the Seller on the Website are shown and described as precisely as possible, so the Buyer can know about the essential characteristics of the Products.
Nevertheless:
The presentation and description of the goods on the website does not constitute an offer of a contract (‘invitation ad offerendum');
The Seller reserves the right to adapt or modify its non-binding Offer at any time until the final validation of the Order (for instance, to improve the Products or their description);
Despite all the meticulousness and precision provided in the presentation and the description of the Products on the Website, the Seller cannot guarantee the non-essential characteristics of the Products (such as the exact correspondence of the colors as displayed on the Website with the true colors of the Products).
By ordering a product by clicking on the button "submit order" at the end of the ordering process, a Buyer makes a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract. The contract is not concluded until the Seller sends an order confirmation by e-mail.
Products and Offers are valid within the limits of the available stocks. If the stock of the Products is not sufficient and if a future delivery remains impossible, the Client will be informed as soon as possible and the Order will be declared cancelled, which will lead the Buyer to be compensated for all of the purchase costs.
Article 4 – Price
The price of the Products is freely defined by the Seller, in accordance with every applicable law and regulation. The price shall be mentioned to the Client on the Website in euros, including all taxes and costs if any (including but not limited to VAT, labelling fee, eco-tax, custom fee), but without delivery fee. Ultimately and before the conclusion of the Order, the delivery fee will be added to the price by the Seller, so the Client will be able to know the full price (including delivery fee) before the Order is concluded.
The Client hereby acknowledges to have been aware of the price of the Products on the Website, as described above.
For each Product, the price can be amended, changed or updated by the Seller at any time on the Website. Therefore, the prices that are applicable to an Order are the prices that are mentioned on the Website at the same time of the said Order.
Furthermore, in case of a promotional code, the following shall apply:
The promotional code dedicated to a specific advertising campaign shall be mentioned by the Client where it is requested;
Only the Clients as defined above (i.e. any natural person using the Website and concluding an Order online while acting as a consumer) will be able to use promotional codes;
The promotional codes are only valid within the limits of the available stocks;
A promotional code can only be used once;
The promotional code is only valid for the price of the Product itself and has no impact on the additional fees, such as delivery fee.
Article 5 – Order
In order to validate an Order and therefore buy Products on the Website, the Client shall:
Go to the Website and consult the Offers;
Chose the Products that the Client wishes to purchase;
Check his/her basket on the Website, so the Client can identify and correct his/her own mistakes if necessary;
Once the basket is correct, the Client can validate the Order, by filling-in his/her personal information (including delivery address), by accepting the full price (including delivery fee), by choosing the appropriate payment means, and by accepting the GTC.
Once an Order is accepted by the Client, it means that the Client accepts the offered Products that he/she chose and their prices. Therefore, every Order must be paid by the Client accordingly. When the Order is paid by the Client, the Order is firm and final.
The Client will receive a confirmation email of the Order from Basic-Fit.
Article 6 – Payment
The payment of the price by the Client shall be made by bank card or by any other option that is suggested on the Website and that suits the Client best, if any.
The Seller reserves the right not to accept certain payment methods for a given order and to refer to other payment methods. Please note that we only accept payments from accounts within the European Union (EU). The Client is responsible for any costs associated with money transactions.
For information on the available payment methods, please refer to the platform.
When the payment is made by bank card, the transaction is immediately debited from the Client's bank card after verification of the latter's data, upon receipt of the debit authorization from the company issuing the bank card used by the Client. Thus, the amounts that will be paid will never be considered as a deposit or as a down payment.
The Seller reserves its right to refuse the Order for any legitimate reason, especially in case of previous or current dispute with a Client regarding the payment of a previous Order.
The goods remain in the property of the Seller until full payment has been made.
Article 7 – Delivery and execution
Delivery can only be made by the Seller after the payment of the price of the Order by the Client, under the following conditions:
While placing the Order, the Client will be able to choose one of the delivery methods that are proposed on the Website;
To date, delivery is only possible in the following countries: The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France and Spain;
The Client will choose and fill-in the delivery address. The Client will be solely responsible for a lack of delivery due to a lack of information of the delivery address. Any package that will be returned to the Seller due to an incorrect or incomplete delivery address will be refunded to the Client;
The amount of the delivery fee depends of the Order and of the delivery method that is chosen by the Client. In any case, the delivery fee will always be mentioned on the Website before the validation of the Order;
The delivery time are shown on the Website and may vary depending of the availability of the Products. The delivery time runs from the date of the Order; In Germany, the usual delivery times are 2 to 3 working days, from the dispatch of the order.

However, (i) if the Client gives formal notice by sending a letter or an email to the Seller to deliver the Order within a reasonable additional delivery time, (ii) and if the Seller does not comply to do so within such reasonable additional delivery time, (iii) therefore, the Client will be able to cancel the Order by sending another letter or an email clearly expressing this intention of cancelling the Order. In such event, the Seller will refund the Client within fourteen (14) days following the date on which the Order was cancelled and terminated;
Upon delivery, the Client must check the condition of the packaging and of the Products;
If delivered Products have obvious material or manufacturing defects, which also include transport damage, the Client should complain about such defects immediately to the Seller or to the employee who delivers the Products. However, failure to make this complaint will have no consequences for the statutory claims of the Client. For all defects of the purchased item occurring during the statutory warranty period, the statutory claims for subsequent performance, for rectification of defects/replacement as well as - if the statutory requirements are met - the more extensive claims for reduction or withdrawal as well as, in addition, for compensation, including compensation for damage instead of performance as well as compensation for your futile expenses, shall apply at your discretion.
Products shall only be handed over in quantities customary for households.
Only available products can be selected. In the case, that no more copies of the ordered product are available, after the Client's offer has been sent, the Seller will inform the customer of this when confirming the dispatch. The order will be cancelled, if no further products have been ordered. In case further products have been ordered, the products that are available will be sent to the customer. Any payments already made by the customer in respect of the non-deliverable product will be refunded immediately.
