General Terms and Conditions

I. Validity of the General Terms and Conditions

Any terms and conditions of our customers that conflict with or deviate from these terms and conditions shall not apply unless Mainhattan-Wheels has expressly agreed to their validity in writing. Any other terms and conditions of our customers are hereby expressly rejected.

II Offers, order confirmations, prices
1. The images of the products within the online shop do not represent legally binding offers. Our offers are non-binding in terms of quantity, price and delivery time. The confirmation of receipt, just like the acceptance of an order by telephone, does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order on our part. Orders are only binding for us once we have issued a written order confirmation. Technical and design deviations from descriptions and information within the online shop that are reasonable for the buyer as well as model, construction and material changes in the course of technical progress remain reserved, without any rights against Mainhattan-Wheels being derived from this.
2. The buyer is solely responsible for observing the legal, official and trade association regulations when using our goods.
3. Our prices are ex delivery warehouse or ex works, excluding freight and customs, plus the VAT applicable on the day of delivery. Previously confirmed prices only apply if the confirmed quantity is purchased.

III Dispatch, transfer of risk
1. When the goods are handed over to the carrier or forwarding agent, the risk of loss or deterioration of the goods passes to the buyer. This also applies to free home deliveries. However, in the case of deliveries free of charge, we assume liability for direct transport damage limited to the respective value of the goods, provided that this damage was caused by our own employees.

– Only acknowledge receipt of the goods after checking that the goods and packaging are in perfect condition
– If this is not the case, leave it Be sure to confirm this with the driver
– Missing quantities, incorrect items, damaged goods, etc. must be reported to us immediately, but no later than 7 days

– If this is not observed, we cannot accept damage to the goods.

IV. Delivery dates, delivery, performance and cancellation
1. Delivery dates confirmed by us are non-binding unless they are expressly designated as binding.

The delivery period begins after clarification of all details of the execution of the order and receipt of all documents required for this and other information to be provided by the buyer as well as after receipt of any agreed down payment. The delivery deadline is also deemed to have been met if the goods leave our company headquarters or the specified shipping station at the agreed time or if the buyer is notified that they are ready for dispatch, but the goods cannot be dispatched on time through no fault of our own.

Let's get started In the event of a delay, the buyer can - if he credibly demonstrates that he has suffered damage as a result - demand compensation of 0.5% for each completed week of delay, but a maximum of 5% in total of the price of the deliveries that were not made due to the delay could be put into appropriate operation. Both claims for damages by the buyer due to delay in delivery and claims for damages instead of performance that go beyond the compensation stated in the previous sentence are excluded in all cases of delayed delivery, even after expiry of a delivery deadline set by us. In the case of intent or gross negligence, this does not apply.
3. After expiry of a reasonable grace period given to us in the event of late delivery, the buyer is entitled to withdraw from the contract if he pointed out the rejection of the service when setting the grace period. Other claims beyond those in Articles 3 and 4 are excluded in the event of a delay in delivery.
4. If non-compliance with the deadlines is due to force majeure, e.g. mobilization, war, riots or similar events, e.g. strikes or lockouts, the deadlines will be extended Appropriate deadlines. The buyer must also accept partial deliveries to a reasonable extent.

The buyer hereby assigns his claim with all ancillary rights from the resale of the reserved goods to us as security for all claims to which we are entitled against the buyer at the time of resale. The buyer is authorized to collect the claims assigned to us. However, the buyer's authorization can be revoked if the buyer defaults on his payments to us. In this case, we are authorized to inform the buyer of the assignment on behalf of the buyer.
