This also applies if the user, member or partner has prescribed a special format for filing objections. Deviating terms and conditions will not apply unless this has been explicitly confirmed in writing in advance by JUNIQE.com. 2.4 The contract language is German.

 

§ 3 Registration, termination and restriction of membership

3.1 Registration with the JUNIQE.com is free of charge. By registering you become a member. However, registration and membership do not give rise to any costs or obligation to purchase on your part. There is no legal entitlement to the conclusion of a contract as a result of registering or becoming a member. 3.2 The data requested during the registration process and during the life of the membership must be provided fully and correctly, including in particular a fully functional e-mail address, as a precondition for membership. Where the data provided to JUNIQE.com change, the member is obliged to update his account with immediate effect. 3.3 You may only register once as a member of JUNIQE.com. Simultaneous registration of several membership accounts is not permitted. Any circumvention of these regulations is prohibited and may result in the termination of your membership by JUNIQE.com. 3.4 Members are obliged to keep their password confidential and to prevent any unauthorised access to their member account. Members are obliged to inform JUNIQE.com with immediate effect if there is any indication that a member account has been or might be abused by a third party. 3.5 JUNIQE.com will delete member accounts that have been inactive for a period of 6 months or whose holders can no longer be reached at the e-mail address stated. 3.6 Members can cancel their membership of JUNIQE.com with immediate effect at any time free of charge.

When choosing a measure, JUNIQE.com takes into account the legitimate interests of the member concerned, especially whether there are any indications that the member is not responsible for the violation.

 

§4 Conclusion of contract and reservation of title

The description of products and presentation of goods on the JUNIQE.com website in the course of sales campaigns does not constitute a legally binding offer, but merely an invitation to private customers to order goods or services. There is no legal claim to the availability and deliverability of the products advertised. Sales campaigns are only directed at consumers within the meaning of § 13 of the BGB, i.e. any natural person concluding a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot be ascribed either to their commercial or independent professional activities. Only the normal volume required by a household may be ordered. JUNIQE.com reserves the right in due course to make orders under sales campaigns subject to fulfillment of certain individual conditions. To order a product advertised by JUNIQE.com, you must take the following steps: Place an article in the basket. Enter the delivery and payment information. Actively agree to the General Terms and Conditions and the Cancellation Policy. Send your order by pressing the "Place Order" button. By forwarding your online order, you are making JUNIQE.com an offer to conclude a legally binding contract. By clicking on the "Place Order" button, you are placing a binding order for the goods in the basket, confirming that you are authorised to place such an order, i.e. minors must have the permission of their legal representatives. Immediately on receipt of your order, you will receive an automated e-mail in which the receipt of your offer will be confirmed, thus concluding the contract. All goods remain the property of JUNIQE.com until full payment of the purchase price has been received and all claims resulting from the sale have been settled. You will not be entitled to dispose of the goods before transfer of ownership. If third parties should institute claims for the goods, you are obliged to inform JUNIQE.com immediately. If, before concluding the contract, JUNIQE.com finds that the ordered product is not available, we will immediately inform you about this and reimburse any payments already received. If, after concluding a contract, JUNIQE.com should find that the product ordered is not available as a result of late or incorrect delivery (including delivery shortfalls) by our suppliers (where JUNIQE.com is not responsible), unexpectedly and despite the fact that we have concluded a contract for delivery of the goods in question with the supplier, we reserve the right to withdraw from the contract. In this case JUNIQE.com will immediately inform you about the non-availability of the product you have ordered and immediately reimburse any payments already received from you. JUNIQE.com is entitled to reject any offers made by you without citing reasons. JUNIQE.com particularly reserves the right to reject an offer where: the delivery address is outside Germany or Austria; there are indications that the person ordering the goods is not a consumer; an order exceeds the normal volume required by a household; the payment is not received, even after a reminder has been sent and a payment period stipulated.

 

§ 5 Use of the JUNIQE.com

5.1 JUNIQE.com offers the services solely within the framework of the acknowledged state of technology. JUNIQE.com may restrict the services where this is required owing to capacity limits, the security or integrity of the server or to carry out technical activities to provide for or to improve existing services (maintenance work). For technical reasons in particular, it may sometimes not be possible to make full use of the services (unforeseen system failures). 5.2 It is prohibited to use the services in a manner that violates statutory obligations, the rights of third parties or public morals. It is furthermore prohibited to make use of the services in a manner that constitutes abuse or that may adversely affect the reputation of JUNIQE.com. In particular, it is prohibited to use the services for the following purposes: to carry out and/or promote anti-competitive activities, including progressive customer recruitment (such as chain, pyramid or snowball schemes); to make use of content that is deemed pornographic or that violates youth protection laws or to advertise, offer and/or sell pornographic products or products that violate youth protection laws; to abuse our services by, for example, making use of malware such as "robot-reader", "spider-reader" or "offline-reader"; to upload content subject to copyright to our service, unless the user has the right to the use of such content or has obtained the required permission; to use JUNIQE.com in a manner that adversely affects the availability of our services to other users; to disseminate offensive, racist or otherwise illegal content or information via our services, including slanderous or libelous content, irrespective of whether this content concerns other users, employees of the company or other persons or companies; to use photos with a defamatory, offensive, racist or otherwise illegal or immoral content; to send out chain letters; to intercept or attempt to intercept messages; to advertise for shopping clubs; to send out messages for any commercial purpose; to make use of our services to threaten or unduly harass other people (especially by sending them spam mail) or to violate the rights of third parties (including their personal rights); to make use of the temporary e-mail addresses of so-called 10-minute mail services; and/or to publish the names, addresses, telephone or fax numbers, e-mail addresses, user names and/or other contact data of messenger services. 5.3 JUNIQE.com has checked and uploaded its own content on the JUNIQE.com website to the best of its knowledge and belief. JUNIQE.com does not generally verify the content published by third parties on the JUNIQE.com website. Nor does JUNIQE.com generally verify other websites that can be reached by clicking on the JUNIQE.com website, thus no responsibility can be taken for the form, accuracy, appropriateness or quality of such content. JUNIQE.com will remove or suppress any content uploaded by third parties or refuse to provide links if JUNIQE.com should find that there is any indication that the content uploaded or other websites might infringe the law or violate these GTCs. 5.4 For Germany: Infoscore Consumer Data GmbH (Rheinstrasse 99, 76532 Baden-Baden) provides credit ratings using a statistical method that takes your payment history, credit information and address data (provided by BFS finance GmbH, Gütersloh Str. 123, 33415 Verl) into account.

Members also have the option of recommending sales campaigns or individual products to third parties by e-mail. 7.2 Members undertake to forward newsletters, sales campaigns and product recommendations only to the e-mail addresses of existing, living natural persons who have previously expressed an interest in this regard and who have explicitly consented to receive the corresponding e-mail. In the event of a dispute, a corresponding written statement in this regard will be required.

 

§ 8 Promotional coupons

The following conditions apply to JUNIQE.com promotional coupons (and mutatis mutandis JUNIQE.com credit balances): JUNIQE.com coupons for goods can be redeemed for all products uploaded on the JUNIQE.com website unless the redemption of JUNIQE.com coupons has been excluded on the campaign overview or product overview page or unless the campaign involves ordering via the website of a third party; such is expressly indicated in either instance. The purchase price of the products ordered must at least equal the value of the coupon, unless otherwise indicated at the time the coupon is issued. JUNIQE.com coupons for freight costs can be redeemed against the freight costs incurred when ordering products on the JUNIQE.com website, unless the redemption of JUNIQE.com coupons has been excluded on the campaign overview or product overview page or unless the campaign involves ordering via the website of a third party. Promotional coupons are provided in the form of codes made available to you personally. Usually, codes expire once they have been used. The period of validity and/or minimum order value or other conditions are determined by JUNIQE.com and announced as part of the corresponding promotion. In this case, the minimum order value refers to the purchase price, including value-added tax. Freight costs are not taken into account. Only one JUNIQE.com coupon can be used per order and several JUNIQE.com coupons may not be combined. If you cancel the purchase of an item for which you have used a JUNIQE.com coupon, the coupon amount will not be reimbursed and the coupon cannot be used again. This does not apply if you have obtained the JUNIQE.com coupon directly from JUNIQE.com against payment. You cannot acquire a JUNIQE.com coupon using a JUNIQE.com coupon that you have not directly obtained against a monetary payment. JUNIQE.com coupons cannot be paid out in cash or attract interest. JUNIQE.com coupons are personally issued to a member and cannot be transferred to third parties. Where JUNIQE.com becomes aware of the transfer of a coupon, JUNIQE.com reserves the right to declare the corresponding coupon invalid. Where JUNIQE.com has indicated that the coupon is valid only for new customers, such a coupon will only be issued when a person registers as a member of JUNIQE.com for the first time. With the exception of a loss of a coupon for which JUNIQE.com is responsible, JUNIQE.com does not accept liability for the loss or theft of any coupon. Replacement coupons are only issued when JUNIQE.com is liable for the loss of the coupon. The shop regulations may contain further conditions or restrictions for the redemption of promotion coupons; alternatively such conditions or restrictions may be indicated when issuing the coupon.

 

§ 9 Warranty and liability

9.1 The warranty is governed in principle by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the event of a defect in goods you therefore have the legal right to have it remedied (delivery of non-defective goods), to cancel the contract or to receive a price reduction. 9.2 JUNIQE.com’s liability in damages towards consumers is limited. Notwithstanding the nature of the loss or damage, liability in damages is excluded unless provided to the contrary below. JUNIQE.com only has statutory liability where you assert claims in damages that are based on intent or gross negligence, including intent or gross negligence on the part of our representatives or agents. JUNIQE.com only has statutory liability where JUNIQE.com is in culpable breach of a significant contractual obligation. A significant contractual obligation for this purpose is one the fulfilment of which is essential to the due performance of the contract and on compliance with which you are generally entitled to rely. JUNIQE.com also only has statutory liability in the case of culpable death, personal injury or damage to health; this also applies to mandatory liability under the Product Liability Act. 9.3 The same limits on liability in damages towards consumers apply to companies that directly or indirectly participate in sales campaigns contrary to § 4, with the further proviso that liability in damages is limited to foreseeable loss or damage typical of the contract except in the case of liability for wilful acts or for death, personal injury or damage to health. 9.4 The aforementioned liability exclusions and limitations with regard to companies or consumers do not apply where JUNIQE.com has given explicit guarantees.

 

§ 10 Disclaimer

The user agrees to bear the costs of the necessary legal defense, including any court costs and solicitor's fees, as incurred. This does not apply if the user cannot be held responsible for the violation of the rights of third parties or for any violations of these GTCs, the shop regulations or any laws. The user is obliged to provide JUNIQE.com with all information that may be required to verify the claims and to defend the case - immediately, truthfully and completely - in the event that a third party should institute legal proceedings.

§ 12 Concluding conditions

12.1 If individual clauses of these GTCs should be entirely or partially invalid or contain a loophole, this will not affect the validity of the other clauses or parts of clauses. In this event the parties undertake to enter into negotiations, with the aim of replacing the invalid clauses or loopholes with clauses that most closely approximate to the original intention of the parties, while maintaining the interests of both parties. 12.2 Only the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany will apply, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on the Sale of Goods and any envoi to foreign law.
