4. Order and conclusion of a Contract

The Buyer is entitled to send the order to the Seller only through the ordering system of the e-shop.

The proposal to conclude the Purchase Contract is the placement of the offered goods by the Seller on the site, the Purchase Contract is formed by the sending of the order by the Buyer consumer and the acceptance of the order by the Seller. The Seller will immediately confirm this acceptance to the Buyer by an informative email to the specified email, but this confirmation does not affect the formation of the Contract. The resulting Contract (including the agreed price) may only be amended or cancelled by agreement of the parties or on legal grounds.

For capacity and economic reasons, the Seller is not able to store some types of lesser-sold goods for a long period of time. When ordering goods above the amount of 20000,- EUR, the Buyer undertakes to pay the Seller a deposit of 50% of the sale price of the goods. The Seller is obliged to order the goods from the Supplier only at the moment of payment of the full amount of the deposit by the Buyer. For the payment of the deposit, the Seller accepts the payment terms set out in Part 6 of these GTC, under the items Transfer. The deposit is refundable only if the Seller is unable to ensure delivery of the goods to the Buyer.

These GTC are drawn up in the Czech language, while the purchase contract can also be concluded in English, German or Czech language. A consumer who has a permanent residence in a member state of the European Union outside the Czech Republic, or who is a citizen of a member state of the European Union outside the Czech Republic, by confirming the order agrees to conclude the purchase contract in the listed languages. After the conclusion of the purchase contract, it is not possible to ascertain whether any errors occurred in the processing of data prior to placing the order or to correct such errors.

The concluded purchase contract is archived by the Seller and is accessible to the Buyer upon request within 1 year from the date of its signing.

Gifts on www.hahn-profi.com are always related to one order only. In case of ordering more than one item with a gift flag, the gifts are not added together. For each order, the customer will always receive only one gift, or, if requested, multiple gifts of lesser value that the customer would have received when purchasing individual products. The more valuable the order, the more valuable the gifts can be selected, but as a standard, the customer will always receive only one gift per order.

Gifts are only for end customers who buy without discounts.

Custom-made goods

In the case of ordering custom-made goods (industrial power units), the Buyer is obliged to pay a deposit of 50% of the selling price of the goods. If the goods are customised, the deposit is non-refundable. In this case, the 14-day period for withdrawal from the purchase contract and subsequent return of the goods cannot be applied.

The delivery time in this case is only indicative and may be extended.

 

5. Price and payment
 
The Seller fulfils the delivery of the goods by handing over the goods to the Buyer or by handing over the goods to the transport company, thus also the risk of damage to the goods passes to the Buyer. The availability of a product is always stated in the details of that product. The delivery time is dependent on the availability of the product, payment terms and delivery conditions. In normal cases we will dispatch the goods within 7 working days of payment of the full purchase price. The delivery does not include installation of the purchased goods.Together with the shipment, the Buyer receives a tax document/invoice.

The Buyer acknowledges that there may be cases where no contract is concluded between Hahn a syn s.r.o. and the Buyer, in particular in the case where the Buyer orders goods at a price published in error due to an error in the internal information system of Hahn a syn s.r.o., Hahn a syn s.r.o. is entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract, even after the Buyer has received an e-mail confirming his order. In such a case, Hahn a syn s.r.o. shall inform the Buyer of such fact. Examples of when an incorrectly published price may occur are in particular the following: 

  • the price of the goods is incorrect at first sight (e.g. it does not take into account the purchase price);
  • the price of the goods is missing or missing one or more digits;
  • the discount on the goods exceeds 50% without the goods being part of a special marketing campaign or sale marked with a special symbol.
  • Hahn a syn s.r.o. points out that the information system of Hahn a syn s.r.o. automatically indicates that goods with an apparently incorrect price are discounted or on sale, etc. Therefore, in case of doubt whether the goods are actually discounted or whether there is an obvious error in the price of the goods, the Buyer is obliged to contact Hahn a syn s.r.o. and verify the correctness of the price.

The delivery period begins for goods that will be paid by the Buyer upon receipt, i.e. on delivery, on the date of valid conclusion of the Purchase Contract according to Article 4 of these GTC. In case the Buyer has chosen a payment option other than payment of the goods upon receipt, the delivery period starts only from the full payment of the purchase price, i.e. from the crediting of the relevant amount to the Seller's account.

The warranty does not cover wear and tear caused by normal use. For items sold at a lower price, the warranty does not cover defects for which the lower price was agreed. In the case of second-hand goods, the seller is not liable for defects corresponding to the degree of use or wear and tear the goods had when the buyer took them over.
