General Terms and Conditions
1. Scope of Application
The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts, deliveries and services of ACIDFARM. Alternative provisions to these terms and conditions only form an integral part of the contract if ACIDFARM consents to them in writing. By way of precaution, ACIDFARM hereby expressly objects to any opposing provision from the side of the customer (any natural person concluding a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot be attributed to its commercial or self-employed professional occupation).
2. Minimum Order Value/Prices/Tax
There is no minimum order value.
Pricemarks are subject to change and price alterations are reserved. The price stated upon conclusion of the order is the price applicable.
ACIDFARM is exempt from value added tax pursuant to Section 19 German Value Added Tax Act (UStG).
3. Payment/Performance
Irrespective of the payment method the customer in any case commits itself to pay the purchase price in full in advance (advance payment).
ACIDFARM accepts the following payment methods:
- Cash (upon pickup)
- Bank transfer
- PayPal
Potential banking fees or customs duties are to be borne by the customer.
The customer submits a binding offer by completing the online order process, entering the required information and clicking the “Make Purchase”-Button at step 5. An order confirmation will be sent to the email address provided by the customer. Such order confirmation represents the conclusion of the contract.
Payment is to be made within 7 calendar days after the order confirmation has been sent. This payment period shall be deemed to be observed if the respective amount has been credited to ACIDFARM’s account by the end of the period (the money is deemed to have been received on the date the account statement states as value date), or has otherwise been received by ACIDFARM.
ACIDFARM reserves the right not to render the promised services in the event that such service is unavailable. In this case the value of goods shall – after prior consultation with the customer – either be refunded, or credited to the customer’s client account and then offset against the next order of the customer. Claims for damages due to unavailability are excluded.
4. Right of Withdrawal
After the expiration of the 7-day payment period mentioned in Section 3 ACIDFARM is entitled to withdraw from the contract, provided that payment has not been received within the payment period. Items ordered by regular customers will be reserved for a period of 14 days after the order has been confirmed. This, however, does not affect ACIDFARM’s right to withdraw from the contract.
5. Shipping
Shipping costs are displayed to the customer prior to each order. Shipping costs are determined flatrate according to the delivery region (as defined below). Orders over or equal to 80 € will receive free shipping.
Delivery Region
| Germany | 1.65 € |
| Europe | 6.00 € |
| USA & Canada | 12.00 € |
| Asia, Pacific, Africa, Central America and South America | 15.00 € |
The shipping costs displayed upon conclusion of the order are applicable.
As a matter of principle, packages are shipped by Deutsche Post AG. ACIDFARM reserves the right to commission – in its sole discretion – other companies with the shipping.
6. Delivery Time
Under regular terms of delivery, delivery time within Germany is 1 to 5 days after receipt of the payment. However, ACIDFARM does not warrant adherence to these regular delivery periods.
7. Receipt of the Shipment
Upon receipt of the shipment the customer is obliged to examine whether the shipment is undamaged. In the event that the shipment is or seems to be damaged, the customer is obliged to examine the shipment while the delivery man is present. If the shipment is damaged the customer shall have the damage confirmed by the delivery man and make a note of the delivery man’s name. Under no circumstances is the customer entitled to accept damaged deliveries, because by doing so the customer tacitly confirms faultless receipt of the good.
8. Revocation Instruction (only applicable for Europe)
Right of Revocation
The contract may be revoked by the customer either in writing (letter or email), or by returning the item within 14 days. It is not necessary to give any reasons for this revocation. The revocation period shall begin to run after receipt of these terms and conditions, but in any event no earlier than the good has been received by the customer or its appointed remittee, or – in the event of recurring delivery of similar goods – no earlier than upon receipt of the first partial delivery.
To comply with the revocation period timely dispatch of the declaration of revocation or the return shipment of the item in question shall be sufficient. The revocation is to be addressed to:
via letter: Dirk Ehrhardt, Selchower Str. 11, D – 12049 Berlin, Germany
via email: dirk@acidfarm.com
Consequences of Revocation
In case of a valid revocation, all mutually received performances are to be restituted by either side. In the event that the customer is unable to return the good received in its entirety or at all, or where the customer can only return it in a deteriorated state, the customer will be liable to pay ACIDFARM compensation. This does not apply for the surrender of items if the deterioration of the item can be attributed solely to the inspection thereof, in a manner similar to inspecting an item personally in a retail store. The customer may avoid the obligation for value replacement based on the deterioration of the item due to its intented use, if the customer does not take possession of the item as if she/he was the owner and if she/he refrains from doing anything which might have an effect on the value of the item.
Costs and risks of return shipment are to be borne by ACIDFARM. Costs for return shipment are to be borne by the customer if the good delivered corresponds to the good ordered and if the price of the item returned does not exceed 40 €.
ACIDFARM is obliged to reimburse payments within 30 days. This reimbursement period shall begin to run upon receipt of the revocation or upon receipt of the returned good.
Exclusion of the Right of Revocation
The right of revocation does not apply to contracts for the supply of goods produced according to customer specifications or clearly tailored to personal needs or which, by reason of their quality, are not suitable for return, or for the delivery of audio or video recordings or of software where the seal on the data carriers has been broken by the consumer, or for the delivery of newspapers, periodicals and magazines.
If services are performed the customer’s right to revoke lapses early, provided that both parties – at the explicit request of the customer – completely fulfilled the contract prior to the customer’s revocation.
The right to revoke shall be excluded for contracts concerning the rendering of services protected by telecommunication, which – at the cusomer’s instance – are rendered instantaneously at once, provided that the services in question do not qualify as financial services.
End of Revocation Instruction
9. Costs for Return Shipment in the event of Revocation
Costs for return shipment are to be borne by the customer if the good delivered corresponds to the good ordered and if the price of the item returned does not exceed 40 €.
10. Warranty
Warranty is subject to statutory provisions.
11. Data Protection
In order to process orders and to implement the contract ACIDFARM uses customer data stored in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) and the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz).
ACIDFARM does not disclose personal data of the customer, including address and email address, to third parties without the explicit and revocable consent of the customer. However, ACIDFARM may disclose the customer’s personal data to service providers if these require the transfer of data in order to process the order (e.g. the company commissioned to ship the ordered good(s) and the credit institution commissioned to handle the payment). In this case however, transfer of data is limited to the necessary extent.
In the event that the customer consented to the use of its data for advertising, market or opinion research purposes, the customer may at any time object such use. The customer may also demand deletion of its personal data, unless statutory provisions stipulate their blocked storage.
