GENERAL CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE OF BÖRLIND GMBH

1. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

1.1 These general conditions of purchase (GCP) shall apply exclusively to all contractual relations (also to all future contractual relations) in which we (Börlind GmbH, Lindenstraße 15, D-75365 Calw) procure goods or services from other companies, governmental entities, or special governmental estates (hereinafter “Supplier”). These GCP shall be an integral part of the contract between the Supplier and us, except if agreed otherwise for the according order. The statutory provisions shall apply complementary and subordinate to these GCP.

1.2 Differing or contrary terms of the Supplier shall not apply – except if we have expressly agreed upon in writing – even if we perform a contract or accept delivery or services without reservation despite our knowledge of eventually differing or contrary terms of the Supplier provided or referred to in its order confirmation, delivery documents, and/or invoice.

1.3 Börlind has commissioned the payment service provider CrefoPay (CrefoPayment GmbH & Co. KG, Feurigstraße 59, 10827 Berlin, Germany) to accept customer payments. However, CrefoPay is only an external payment service provider and not a seller of goods. The use of the CrefoPay payment service is free of charge for customers. When placing an order, the customer must agree to CrefoPay's activities, in particular the collection and processing of their order and payment data. CrefoPay's terms and conditions and privacy policy can be viewed, downloaded, and printed here (only in German).

2. OFFER AND CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT

2.1 The Börlind range in this online shop is intended for customers to submit purchase offers (orders). The ordering process in the ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND online shop is as follows:
The customer can select ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND brand products and place them in the shopping cart. The selection is made by clicking on the “Add to cart” button, although this does not yet constitute a binding order. Selected products can be removed from the shopping cart at any time. The ordering process is carried out from the shopping cart in the following steps:

1. Checkout
2. Log in/Order as a guest
3. Billing address
4. Delivery address (if different from billing address)
5. Shipping
6. Payment method
7. Order overview
8. Place order

2.2 Börlind stores the contract text of the order received and sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by email after receiving the order, in which the customer's order is listed again and which the customer can print out using the “Print” function. The automatic confirmation of receipt merely documents that Börlind has received the customer's order and does not constitute acceptance of the order. The contract is only concluded when Börlind sends a declaration of acceptance in a separate email (“shipping notification”). If, contrary to this, no order confirmation or declaration of acceptance is sent, Börlind accepts the order at the latest upon delivery of the ordered goods.

The customer must provide the billing address and any different delivery address (including a DHL pack station or post office), whereby the fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be filled in. By clicking on the “Continue” button, the customer is taken to the next input screen or overview. The customer then selects the shipping and payment method. The customer can check the selected products and entered data on the following “Order Overview” screen. The customer then submits a binding request to purchase the goods in the shopping cart by clicking on the “Place order” button. Before submitting the order, the customer can change the products, their quantities, and the customer, delivery, and payment data at any time by clicking directly on the respective linked terms or—in the event of cancellation—by closing the browser window or clicking on the “Edit your shopping cart” link at the bottom of the page.

However, the order can only be placed and transmitted if the customer accepts these terms and conditions. On this overview, the fields “I have read the General Terms and Conditions and expressly agree to them” and “I have read the cancellation policy” must be clicked. If these fields are not clicked by the customer, the order cannot be accepted by Börlind. At the end of the ordering process, an order confirmation can be requested (by registered customers).

2.3 For orders placed from outside our domestic market, we partner with Global-e NL B.V., a company of the Global-e group (“Global-e”). Global-e acts as the Merchant of Record for international transactions. This means that for customers placing orders to be delivered internationally, the purchase contract is concluded with Global-e rather than with our company directly.

In order to process international orders, personal data such as your name, billing and shipping address, contact details, payment information, and order details will be transferred to Global-e. This transfer is necessary for the performance of the contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and, where applicable, based on our legitimate interest in enabling international sales pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Global-e processes this data as an independent data controller for the purposes of payment processing, tax and customs calculation, fulfillment, delivery, and returns management. Your data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area in accordance with applicable data protection laws and safeguards.

More information on how Global-e processes personal data, your rights as a data subject, and how to contact Global-e’s Data Protection Officer you can find under the links at checkout to Global-e's Terms and Conditions.

We recommend that international customers review Global-e’s privacy documentation carefully, as it forms an integral part of the checkout process for international orders.
