1.1. The following General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) shall apply exclusively to the business relationship between Checker Demon Press, owner: Luke Atkinson, Alarichstraße 21, 70469 Stuttgart, Germany (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”) and the customer (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”) in the version valid at the time of placing the order.

1.3. A consumer within the meaning of these GTC and the withdrawal policy is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose, which cannot be attributed to his commercial or self-employed activity.
1.4. Deviating terms and conditions of the Customer shall not be accepted, unless their validity has been expressly agreed by the Seller.
2. Products and performance specifications
2.1. The presentation of products in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but merely an invitation to place an order. Performance specifications in catalogues and websites of the Seller should not be construed as an assurance or guarantee.
2.2. All offers are valid “while stocks last”, unless otherwise stated in the product description. Any responsibility for errors is hereby excluded.
3. Bestellvorgang und Vertragsabschluss
3.1. The Customer can choose from the range of products offered by the Seller and place the selected items in a shopping cart by clicking on the “add to cart” button. On the shopping cart page, the Customer can click on the “proceed to checkout” button in order to complete the order.
3.2. By clicking on the “purchase” button, the Customer makes a binding offer to buy the goods in the shopping cart. Before completing the order, the Customer will have the option to view and change the details at any time. Required information is marked with an asterisk (*).
3.3. Next, the Seller will send the Customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by email detailing the Customer’s order, which the Customer can print out using the “Print” function (order confirmation). The automatic confirmation of receipt merely confirms that Customer’s order has been received by the Seller and shall not constitute acceptance of the order. The purchase agreement shall only come into effect if the ordered product is dispatched or handed over by the Seller to the Customer or if the dispatch of the goods is confirmed by sending an invoice or an express order confirmation by another email within 3 days of placing the order.
3.4. Should the Seller accept advance payments, the contract shall come into effect upon provision of the bank details and request for payment. If the payment is not received by the Seller within 10 days of sending the order confirmation despite a second request for payment, the Seller shall rescind the contract with the result that the order will be cancelled and the Seller relieved from the obligation to deliver. The order shall then be deemed completed without any further consequences for the buyer or the Seller. When paying in advance, goods can only be reserved for a maximum period of 10 calendar days.
4. Prices and delivery costs

5. Delivery, availability of goods
5.1. Where payment in advance has been agreed, the goods shall be delivered after receipt of the invoice amount.
5.2. If the Seller does not have all the ordered products in stock, he shall be entitled to make partial deliveries at his own expense insofar as this is reasonable for the Customer.
5.3. After three unsuccessful delivery attempts caused by circumstances attributable to the buyer, the Seller shall be entitled to rescind the contract. Any payments already made shall then be refunded to the Customer without undue delay.
5.4. If the ordered product is not available, because the Seller has not received the goods from his suppliers for reasons beyond his control, the Seller shall be entitled to rescind the contract. In this case, the Seller shall notify the Customer immediately and may offer to deliver a comparable product. If no comparable product is available or the Customer will not accept a comparable product, the Seller shall refund any payments already made to the Customer immediately.
5.5. Customers shall be notified of delivery times and restrictions (e.g. restrictions on deliveries to certain countries) on a separate information page or in the relevant product description.

The invoice can also be sent by post upon request.
6.7. If a calendar date has been specified for payment, the Customer will be in default if he fails to deliver by that date. In this case, the Customer shall be obliged to pay the statutory late-payment interest.
6.8. The Customer’s obligation to pay late-payment interest shall not preclude the Seller’s right to assert further late-payments claims.
6.9. The Customer shall only be entitled to offset claims, if his counterclaims are legally established or undisputed by the Seller. The Customer may only withhold payment if all the relevant claims arise from the same contractual relationship.
7. Retention of title

8. Warranty for material defects
1.1. The warranty shall be governed by statutory provisions.

9. Diclaimers and Limitation of Liability
9.1. The following exclusions and limitations of liability apply with regard to Seller’s liability for damage compensation, notwithstanding the other legal claim requirements.
9.2. The Seller assumes unlimited liability if the cause of the damage is the result of intent or gross negligence.
9.3. Furthermore, the Seller assumes liability for the slightly negligent breach of significant duties, whose breach places the achievement of the purpose of the Agreement at risk, or for the breach of duties whose fulfilment generally enables the execution of the Agreement and on whose compliance they regularly rely.

The Seller is not liable for the slightly negligent breach of duties other than those stated in the above-mentioned sentences.
