General Terms and Conditions
-
These general terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTCs") are the basis of every legal transaction concluded in the onlineshop operated at https://shop.rosenbauer.com. These are concluded between Rosenbauer E-Commerce GmbH, FN 558145b, Paschinger Strasse 90, 4060 Leonding, hereinafter “ROSENBAUER”, and the customer, hereinafter “Customer”.
-
The ROSENBAUER Onlineshop is a browser-based shop solution (hereinafter "onlineshop"), within which ROSENBAUER advertises products and offers them for sale via an integrated onlineshop (online mail order).
1. Scope of application
-
Scope of GTCs, definitions of terms, and conclusion of contract
-
All services provided by ROSENBAUER to customers in connection with the onlineshop, i.e. the processing of sales contracts for goods, are carried out exclusively on the basis of these GTCs.
-
ROSENBAUER reserves the right to amend these GTCs at any time. The terms and conditions that are in force at the time the contract is concluded apply to the contractual relationship with the Customer.
-
Customer: A Customer is any user of the onlineshop who submits an offer to purchase goods via the ROSENBAUER onlineshop. They must open a user account for this purpose.
-
Webshop: The Customer becomes a direct contractual partner of ROSENBAUER by using the onlineshop function and ordering goods or by concluding a purchase contract for this purpose. ROSENBAUER does not sell any goods to minors, but only to adult and legally competent natural or legal persons. When a purchase of goods is completed via the onlineshop, a purchase contract is concluded; this is subject to the provisions of the FAGG, the VGG and the KSchG for consumers..
-
Assortment: The Assortment represents the range of goods offered for sale by ROSENBAUER in the onlineshop.
-
Order: An Order is when a Customer submits an offer to ROSENBAUER to purchase one or more goods from the assortment that they have placed in their shopping cart. For this purpose, before submitting an order, the Customer is provided with a summary of the products that they have selected and placed in the shopping cart, together with their product characteristics, the purchase price including all taxes and duties, or, in cases where the price cannot reasonably be calculated in advance due to the nature of the goods or the services, the method of pricing, as well as the incidental costs associated with an order (freight, delivery or shipping costs and any other costs, or in cases where these costs cannot reasonably be calculated in advance, a notification of the fact that such additional costs may arise) and all other relevant information. Through clicking on the "Order now with obligation to pay" button, the order is submitted to ROSENBAUER.
The Customer must ensure that the email address provided by themselves for order processing is checked regularly so that the emails sent by ROSENBAUER will be received at this address. In particular, when using a spam filter, the Customer must ensure that all emails sent by ROSENBAUER or by third parties commissioned to process the order will be delivered. -
Order confirmation: Immediately after ROSENBAUER receives an order, the Customer will receive an order confirmation, which contains the goods that they have ordered and their essential characteristics, the total price including all ancillary costs, and these General Terms and Conditions. The order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the order. The Customer must check the order confirmation and report any potential input errors immediately.
-
Acceptance: Acceptance takes place within 30 days of receipt of the order by ROSENBAUER, either by written notification or by delivery of the goods ordered by the Customer. If ROSENBAUER does not wish to accept an order from the Customer, ROSENBAUER will inform the Customer of this fact within 30 days.
-
Order confirmation: As part of the fulfillment of legal informational obligations, ROSENBAUER will send the Customer a confirmation of the concluded contract and these GTCs by email immediately after the conclusion of the contract, but at the latest at the time of delivery of the goods. The relevant information remains stored by ROSENBAUER and in the Customer's user account under "Order History" for the duration of the statutory warranty periods.
-
The contract, order, and business language is German. Communication with Rosenbauer customer service and the provision of all other information is also undertaken in German.
2. Terms of delivery and delivery period
-
Delivery dates specified by ROSENBAUER in the course of the ordering process are to be understood as non-binding and do not become part of the contract unless something else has been explicitly agreed to in writing.
-
However, ROSENBAUER will send the goods to the Customer itself or via an involved contractual partner no later than 14 days after the order confirmation has been sent.
-
In the event of force majeure, the deadline for the provision of services is extended appropriately, whereby the duration of the hindrance and a reasonable re-start time must be taken into account in the assessment. Excluded from this are cases in which the existence of an instance of force majeure and its duration have no influence on the period of service provision. Cases of force majeure also include events that were unforeseeable at the time the contract was concluded, in particular shortages of energy and raw materials, strikes, lockouts, official measures, pandemics, epidemics, terrorist attacks and war. For the existence of force majeure to be considered to exist, it is necessary that the unforeseeable event or its effects do not last only for a short time. "A short time" is an instance where the effects extend over a period less than five working days. ROSENBAUER will inform the Customer immediately of the existence of force majeure and the probable end of such a circumstance. If the state of force majeure lasts for more than three months without interruption, or if the deadline for the provision of services is extended by more than four months due to several circumstances of force majeure, both the Customer and ROSENBAUER are entitled to withdraw from the contract. In the event of force majeure, the assertion of claims for damages and any other claims is excluded. The obligation to provide consideration does not apply; advance payments already made will be reimbursed. The provisions of this section apply accordingly if such circumstances arise at a supplier of ROSENBAUER and affect the delivery to ROSENBAUER.
-
Orders in the Rosenbauer Online Shop are free of shipping costs. For orders under 20 euros, a minimum quantity surcharge of 10 euros will be charged. Bonuses and discounts are applied to the value of the goods, but not to other costs.
-
ROSENBAUER is entitled to carry out a Customer's order for goods in partial deliveries, even without such a corresponding request from the Customer. In such an event, however, ROSENBAUER will bear any resulting additional shipping costs itself. The Customer is responsible for additional costs due to a partial delivery requested by the Customer. In general, however, partial deliveries do not occur.
-
Bulky items are delivered to the Customer's street-facing address by a ROSENBAUER forwarding partner. Transport to the installation site and/or on-site assembly are not included in ROSENBAUER's scope of services. In such instances, the logistics service provider will contact the Customer to arrange a delivery date.
-
Default of acceptance: If the Customer is in default of acceptance, ROSENBAUER can either store the goods, charging a storage fee of 0.1% of the invoice amount per calendar day or part thereof, and insist on fulfillment of the contract, or withdraw from the contract after establishing a reasonable grace period and return the goods after withdrawal for resale.
-
The goods are shipped by Österreichische Post AG, DPD or other logistics service providers to the delivery address in Austria or Germany specified by the Customer.
3. Payment terms
-
The delivery of the goods takes place exclusively within Austria and Germany.
-
The purchase on account function is covered by the payment provider KLARNA and here the terms and conditions of KLARNA apply accordingly.

Immediate transfer: Your account will be debited immediately after placing the order.
-
Purchase on account: With purchase on account, the invoice amount is due for payment to our external partner Klarna GmbH on the calendar day specified in the invoice (20 calendar days after the invoice date). The payment method purchase on account exists for private customers from Germany and Austria and requires, among other things, a successful credit check by Klarna GmbH. If the customer is allowed to purchase on account for certain offers after a credit check, the payment is processed in cooperation with Klarna GmbH, to whom we assign our payment claim. In this case, the customer can only make payment to Klarna GmbH with debt-discharging effect.

The General Terms and Conditions of Klarna GmbH apply.

The receipt of payment is usually booked within a few minutes and your order will be processed immediately.

-

-
If the Customer revokes their contractual declaration or a contract that has already been concluded, ROSENBAUER shall owe the Customer all payments that ROSENBAUER has received from the Customer, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the Customer choosing a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery offered by ROSENBAUER) immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which it received notification of the cancellation of this contract.
-
For this repayment, ROSENBAUER must use the same means of payment that the Customer used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with the Customer.
