Dispute resolution

The #1 Rule at ATLETICA Is:

The customer-is-always-right

The #2 Rule Is:

Follow Rule #1
Here is the boring version in lawyers’ jargon:

General Terms and Conditions with Customer Information

1. Scope
2. Conclusion of contract
3. Right of withdrawal
4. Prices and payment terms
5. Delivery and shipping conditions
6. Title Retention
7. Warranty (Liability for Defects)
8. Liability
9. Applicable law
10. Jurisdiction
11. Alternative dispute resolution

1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of ATLETICA Deutschland GmbH (hereinafter "ATLETICA" or "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded between a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") and the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller on the website www.atletica.de (hereinafter "ATLETICA Shop"). The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor independent professional. A business within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person, or a partnership with legal capacity, who, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of Contract

2.1 The product descriptions of the seller presented at ATLETICA do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the shopping cart system integrated into ATLETICA. When placing an order via the shopping cart system, the customer submits a legally binding offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the "Buy Now" button in the final step of the ordering process.

The customer must complete the following technical steps: The customer first places the goods in the virtual shopping cart by clicking the "Add to Cart" button and then clicks the "Proceed to Checkout" button. In the next step, the customer must log in to their ATLETICA customer account by entering their email address and password, or create one for the first time. In the next step, the customer must select the desired shipping method and click the "Buy Now" button to complete the order.

2.3 Upon receipt, ATLETICA will confirm the order by email. The Seller may accept the offer within five (5) days by:

- sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail) or by having it sent by ATLETICA, whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or

- delivering the ordered goods to the customer or having them delivered by ATLETICA, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or

- requesting payment from the customer after placing his order or by having ATLETICA request payment, or

- if payment by direct debit is offered and the customer chooses this payment method by debiting the total price from the customer's bank account or having it debited by ATLETICA, whereby the time at which the customer's account is debited shall be decisive.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends on the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.

2.4 The contract text will be saved by the seller after the contract has been concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g., by email, fax, or letter) after the customer has placed their order. The seller will not make the contract text available beyond this time. In addition, the order data will be archived by ATLETICA and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via their password-protected ATLETICA user account.

2.5 When placing an order via ATLETICA's shopping cart system, the customer can identify possible input errors before submitting the order by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better detection of input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The customer can continuously correct their entries before submitting the order as part of the electronic ordering process using standard keyboard and mouse functions. Furthermore, all entries are displayed again in a confirmation window before the order is submitted and can also be corrected there using standard keyboard and mouse functions. When ordering via the 1-Click® purchase function, the ordering process is completed after clicking the "Buy now with 1-Click®" button. Correcting input errors is no longer possible once the "Buy now with 1-Click®" button is clicked.

2.6 The contract language is German.

2.7 Order processing and contact will take place via email and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the email address provided for order processing is correct, so that emails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using spam filters, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) Right of Withdrawal

3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal within 100 days of purchase of the goods.

3.1 A refund of the purchase amount will be made after receipt of the goods within a maximum of ten working days using the originally selected payment method.

3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the cancellation policy.

3.2. Return of set items Products purchased as part of a set or bundle at a discounted total price can only be returned in their entirety.
Individual returns of components of a set are excluded. Accordingly, no (partial) refunds will be issued for individual products from a discounted set.

4) Prices and Payment Terms

4.1 The prices quoted by the Seller are total prices and include statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be stated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which must be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for money transfers through credit institutions (e.g., transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g., customs duties). Such costs may also arise in relation to money transfers if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the Customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 Payment is processed via one of the following payment service providers that the Seller has commissioned to process payments: (a) Shopify International Limited (Shopify Payments) 2nd Floor, 1-2 Victoria Buildings Haddington Road Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland VAT IE3347697KH

4.4. Installment payments via third-party providers

Installment payments are only possible through external payment service providers such as Klarna, Zinia, or PayPal. These providers operate as independent financial service providers or banks and offer installment payments according to their own terms and conditions and credit checks.

We have no influence on the decisions, terms, or fee structures of these third-party providers. Therefore, any questions regarding payment plans, interest rates, or rejections should be directed to the respective payment service provider.

4.5. Returns from Switzerland and other third countries

For returns from Switzerland and other non-EU countries (third countries), we cannot refund any import duties, customs fees or foreign sales tax paid, as these were paid directly by the customer to the respective customs authorities.

A refund of these amounts is only possible through the relevant customs authority in the recipient country.

We recommend that you contact the customs authority where the duties were paid directly for a possible refund.

4.6. Reimbursement of VAT and customs duties for export to Switzerland and other third countries

When goods are exported to third countries, customs duties or German VAT are not refundable. Please note that any import duties, customs fees, or other fees in the recipient country are the responsibility of the buyer.

A subsequent refund of VAT according to Section 6 UStG is excluded.

5) Delivery and Shipping Conditions

5.1 ATLETICA delivers the ordered goods by parcel service or freight forwarding. Goods will be delivered to the delivery address provided by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address provided by the customer to ATLETICA is decisive for the processing of the transaction.

5.2 If delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result.

5.3 Delivery date with freight forwarder: The freight forwarder will inform you of the expected delivery date by email or telephone before you place your order. Delivery will be made on the delivery date, specifying a time frame.

5.4 Delivery costs: Parcel delivery is free of charge within Germany. Internationally, the costs depend on the country of delivery and the weight of the parcel. Delivery costs for deliveries via freight forwarding depend on the total value of the order.

5.5 Delivery Location: Ordered goods will be shipped, at the seller's discretion, either as a parcel or by freight forwarding. In the case of freight forwarding, the goods will be delivered to the curb by the freight forwarder. To facilitate delivery, you must ensure, to the best of your ability, that there is sufficient parking available at the delivery location. If the goods cannot be delivered to the apartment door due to local conditions, e.g., lack of parking, or via the usual means (building entrance, stairwell), the freight forwarder is entitled to refuse delivery to the apartment door.

5.6 Additional costs for delivery or collection: If the goods cannot be delivered or collected by the forwarding agent on the agreed date for reasons for which you are responsible, ATLETICA will invoice you for the costs of redelivery or, in the case of collection, offset the costs against the refund of the purchase price.

A second delivery will be subject to a charge, even if the initial delivery was free of charge. If delivery is only possible at an additional cost, we will inform you of these costs. With your consent, we will then carry out the delivery.

If the goods cannot be delivered by parcel delivery service for reasons for which you are responsible, a message will be left with information about the parcel station from which the goods can be picked up and within what time frame, and that they will be returned to the sender if the deadline expires.

5.7 Returns of freight forwarding deliveries: Freight forwarding deliveries are generally made on pallets. In the case of returns, the customer undertakes to hand over the goods to the freight forwarder in a transportable condition or, if a collection authorization has been obtained from the freight forwarder, to leave the goods freely accessible and in a transportable condition.

To ensure transportability and safety, the customer undertakes to place the goods on the pallet in the condition in which they were delivered. Failure to do so will result in the freight forwarder being entitled to refuse acceptance of the goods and to charge ATLETICA additional costs in accordance with Section 5.6.

If the customer acts intentionally and deliberately presents the goods loose or without suitable transport packaging for collection, we reserve the right to refuse collection until the customer restores a minimum level of transportability. The burden of proof of transportability lies with the customer and can be verified by providing any photographs.

The freight forwarder will pick up the goods by appointment. The customer is responsible for protecting the goods from weather and damage until the goods are picked up by the freight forwarder. Any damage to the goods will be inspected by ATLETICA in the warehouse and offset against the refund.

5.7 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the freight forwarder, carrier or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment.

If the customer is a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally only passes to the customer upon delivery of the goods to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Notwithstanding this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods also passes to the customer in the case of consumers as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the freight forwarder, carrier, or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, provided that the customer has commissioned the freight forwarder, carrier, or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.

5.8 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper delivery. This shall only apply if the non-delivery is not the Seller's responsibility and the Seller has entered into a specific hedging transaction with the supplier with due diligence.

The seller will make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.

6) Title Retention

6.1 The Seller reserves title to the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price owed by the Consumer.

6.2 The Seller reserves title to the delivered goods until all claims arising from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full.

6.3 If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, he is entitled to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. The customer assigns all resulting claims against third parties to the seller in advance, up to the respective invoice value (including sales tax). This assignment applies regardless of whether the reserved goods were resold without or after processing. The customer remains authorized to collect the claims even after the assignment. The seller's authority to collect the claims itself remains unaffected. However, the seller will not collect the claims as long as the customer meets its payment obligations to the seller, does not default on payment, and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been filed.

7) Warranty (Liability for Defects)

If the purchased item is defective, the statutory liability for defects applies.

The customer is required to file a complaint with the deliverer about any goods delivered with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this.

If the customer fails to do so, this will have no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

The following applies:

7.1 If the customer acts as an business entity,

• the seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
• For new goods, the limitation period for defects is one year from delivery of the goods;
• In the case of used goods, rights and claims due to defects are generally excluded;
• The limitation period does not begin again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.

7.2 The limitations of liability and shortening of deadlines set out above shall not apply

• for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual purpose and have caused its defectiveness,
• for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the customer, as well as
• in the event that the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.

7.3 Furthermore, for businesses, the statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse pursuant to Section 445b of the German Civil Code (BGB) remain unaffected.

7.4 If the customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of Section 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), he or she is subject to the commercial duty of inspection and notification of defects pursuant to Section 377 of the HGB. If the customer fails to comply with the notification obligations stipulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved.

7.5 If the customer is a consumer, they are requested to report any goods delivered with obvious transport damage to the delivery company and to notify the seller of this. Failure by the customer to do so will have no effect on their statutory or contractual claims for defects.

8) Liability

If the customer acts as an entrepreneur, the seller shall be liable to him for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory claims, including tortious claims, for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:

8.1 The Seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason

• in case of intent or gross negligence,
• in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, body or health,
• based on a guarantee promise, unless otherwise agreed,
• due to mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Act.

8.2 If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damages, unless unlimited liability applies in accordance with the above clause. Material contractual obligations are obligations that the contract imposes on the Seller in accordance with its content to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place, and on whose compliance the Customer may regularly rely.

8.3 Otherwise, the Seller’s liability is excluded.

8.4 The above liability provisions shall also apply with regard to the Seller’s liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

9) Applicable Law

All legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws governing the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his or her habitual residence.

10) Jurisdiction

If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the seller's place of business. If the customer is based outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller's place of business is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract if the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the customer's professional or commercial activity. In the above cases, however, the seller is entitled in any case to bring proceedings before the court at the customer's place of business.

11) Alternative Dispute Resolution

11.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: www.ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online sales or service contracts involving a consumer.

Privacy Policy

1) Information on the collection of personal data and contact details of the controller

1.1 We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. In the following, we inform you about the handling of your personal data when using our website. Personal data refers to all data with which you can be personally identified.

1.2 The controller for data processing in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is ATLETICA Deutschland GmbH, Görresstr. 5, 55131 Mainz, Germany, Tel.: +49 6131 4932391, E-Mail: service@atletica.de

The controller for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

We have appointed TÜV SÜD Akademie GmbH, Westendstraße 160, 80339 Munich, as our external data protection officer. You can reach our data protection officer at: service@atletica.de.

1.3 This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller). You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.

2) Data collection when visiting our website

When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which are technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

Our visited website

Date and time of access

Amount of data sent in bytes

Source/referral from which you accessed the page

Browser used

Operating system used

IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. A transfer or other use of the data does not take place. We reserve the right, however, to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

3) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e., after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can see the duration of the respective cookie storage in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

In some cases, cookies serve to simplify the ordering process by saving settings (e.g., remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website). If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of a granted consent, or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the protection of our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.

Please note that you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for the respective browsers under the following links:

Opera: https://help.opera.com/de/latest/web-preferences/#cookies

Please note that if cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

4) Contacting us

4.1 Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g., via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been definitively clarified and provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

4.2 WhatsApp Business
We offer visitors to our website the opportunity to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business version" of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (e.g., an order placed), we store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and respond to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) in order to assign your inquiry to a specific process.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g., regarding the range of services, availability or our website), we store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.

Your data will always only be used to answer your inquiry via WhatsApp. No disclosure to third parties takes place.

Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Facebook Inc. in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book exclusively stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR when they first use the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. A transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

5) Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract execution

In accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed if you provide it to us for the purpose of executing a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Your customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above address of the controller. We store and use the data you provide for contract processing. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked with regard to tax and commercial retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further data use has been reserved by us.

6) Use of your data in the newsletter

If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we process your email address and – if provided to us – your name, title (e.g., academic degree), and year of birth based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, to regularly send you offers and information about our products by email and to make them more personal and relevant to you (e.g., personal salutation or birthday offers). We use the additional information title and year of birth especially if you have provided them to us within the scope of our loyalty program. The only mandatory information for the newsletter is the email address; all other information is voluntary.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out until revocation. A simple message to the controller or using the unsubscribe link in the newsletter is sufficient.

Email advertising with newsletter subscription: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this or separately provided by you to regularly send you our email newsletter based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR. The subscription takes place via a double opt-in procedure: After your registration, you will receive an email in which you must confirm your newsletter subscription. This ensures that the registration actually originates from you.

By subscribing to the newsletter, you also give us your consent to send you advertising emails. To optimize your user experience, we also use an AI-supported tool and sometimes send AI-generated, personalized email messages. If you sign up for our email advertising, you may therefore also receive such personalized emails created with the help of AI.

Service providers used:
For sending our newsletter, we use the service provider Klaviyo, Inc., 125 Summer Street, Floor 6, Boston, MA 02110, USA. Klaviyo processes the data on our behalf as a data processor; a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded. The processing takes place on servers in the USA; the transfer is secured by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, under which Klaviyo is certified, supplemented by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. For the (partially AI-supported) personalization of content, we additionally use Birdsview GmbH, Reudnitzer Straße 1, 04103 Leipzig, Germany; this provider also acts as a data processor (data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR concluded).

Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by a message to the contact option described below or via a dedicated link in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your email address, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data usage that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

7) Participation in our loyalty program "ATLETICA Rewards"

If you participate in our "ATLETICA Rewards" loyalty program, we process the necessary data to run the program and provide you with the associated benefits (e.g., collecting and redeeming points and rewards). In particular, your name, email address, customer or member data, purchase and order history, as well as your points balance and redeemed rewards will be processed.

16) Tools and Miscellaneous

16.1 - Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”) for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This may also lead to the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. In this way, Google learns that our website has been accessed via your IP address. If Google Web Fonts are loaded remotely (via Google's servers), this is done exclusively on the basis of your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

16.2 Google Customer Reviews (formerly Google Certified Shops program)

We work with Google as part of the "Google Customer Reviews" program. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). This program enables us to collect customer reviews from users of our website. After a purchase on our website, you will be asked whether you would like to participate in an email survey by Google. If you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will transmit your email address to Google. You will receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate your shopping experience on our website. The rating you submit will then be summarized with our other ratings and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo and in our Merchant Center dashboard. Your rating will also be used for Google Seller Ratings. As part of the use of Google Customer Reviews, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller or to Google.

16.3 Google Maps

On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually present geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and any journey is made easier.

As soon as you access the subpages in which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also lead to a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish the assignment with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google within the framework of using Google Maps, there is also the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then no longer be used.

You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, and the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on Google's website ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

As far as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the possibility described above for making an objection.

17) Rights of the data subject

17.1 The applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive data subject rights (rights of access and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, about which we inform you below:

Right of access in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR: In particular, you have a right to information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for you, as well as your right to be informed about what guarantees exist in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries;

Right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR: You have the right to demand the immediate rectification of inaccurate data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete data stored by us;

Right to erasure in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR: You have the right to demand the erasure of your personal data if the conditions of Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR are met. However, this right does not exist, in particular, if the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data contested by you is being verified, if you refuse the erasure of your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved or if you have lodged an objection due to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your interests;

Right to notification in accordance with Art. 19 GDPR: If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR: You have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request transmission to another controller, as far as this is technically feasible;

Right to withdraw consent in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR: You have the right to withdraw consent once given to the processing of data at any time with effect for the future. In the event of withdrawal, we will delete the data concerned immediately, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of consent until the withdrawal;

Right to lodge a complaint in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR, you have the right, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

17.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE AFFECTED DATA. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE AFFECTED DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

18) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of an explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject revokes their consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract and/or there is no legitimate interest on our part in continued storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored as long as it is necessary for the respective purposes; the processing purpose and the principle of storage limitation (Art. 5 para. 1 lit. e GDPR) are decisive. The right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR remains unaffected as an additional right of termination: If the data subject exercises their right to object, we will cease processing, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override their interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Personal data that we process for direct marketing purposes (e.g. newsletters, tracking-supported advertising) on the basis of your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR will be stored until you revoke your consent.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information of this declaration about specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

19) Prize draws

We occasionally run prize draws. Participation is voluntary. If you take part in a prize draw, the participation conditions provided for it and, where applicable, special data protection information apply in addition.

Which personal data we process depends on the nature and design of the respective prize draw. This may include in particular your name, your contact details, your address, your social media username, entries, photos or videos submitted by you, as well as the information required to notify you of a win and to deliver the prize.

We process this data to carry out the prize draw, in particular to check the participation requirements, evaluate the entries, determine and notify the winners, and provide or deliver the prize. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If participation is possible via a social network, the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective platform additionally apply. Where provided for in the respective participation conditions, we may share or republish publicly submitted entries via the functions provided by the platform and, in doing so, name or link the respective social media username. We will inform you of the specific scope and duration of any such publication as part of the respective prize draw.

Please only submit photos, videos or other content that you are authorized to use. If other people are identifiable in them, you must ensure that they consent to the submission and to the use described in the participation conditions.

Any use of the data collected in connection with the prize draw for further advertising or marketing purposes only takes place if a separate legal basis exists for it, in particular your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

After the prize draw has ended and the prize has been processed, we delete the data as soon as it is no longer required for the stated purposes. Data of winners and documents relating to prize processing may also be stored insofar as this is required due to retention obligations under commercial or tax law or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
