3.1 The following terms and conditions are component and the basis of all contracts and agreements (in written, as well as electronic form), made with the company Sofi GmbH, Randstr. 1, 22525 Hamburg, Germany on the MiniB2B platform. Other terms and conditions of national or international partners deviating from these shall not apply to the contract made with Sofi GmbH. Special agreements are obligatory only if they were confirmed in writing by letter or E-Mail. Verbal statements are basically noncommittal.
3.2 The web page and the services of MiniB2B are only available to natural, competent persons and legal entities as of German law § 14 BGB (resellers). Members must be able to prove their commercial status in order to use the services of MiniB2B.
3.3 Any order entered into the system is perceived as a proforma order and will not be processed, before verification and confirmation has been given by MiniB2B and by the supplier as to price and delivery conditions. All information, in particular prices and lead times, under reservation of possible typing errors. Any single order must exceed the amount of € 1000 to be accepted.
3.4 All prices are based on our purchase prices in dollar and subject to exchange rate changes. On short term notice they may possibly be raised or lowered according to fluctuations in the dollar rate.
4. Data Protection
4.1 The member agrees to the storage of the following personal data on electronic media: Company name, name, address, telephone and fax number as well as everything concerning the business relationship (order date, invoice date, etc.). All customer data is stored and processed by Sofi GmbH in compliance with the regulations of the Federal Laws of Data Protection and the Law of Data Protection in Telecommunication by Sofi GmbH.
4.2 Personal data such as postal and E-Mail address will not be passed on to third-party without the express and at any time revocable consent of the member. Excluded from this are service partners of Sofi GmbH, requiring the data for handling the order (e.g. logistic company assigned to supplying the goods or banks handling payment). In this case the amount of conveyed data is restricted to the necessary minimum.
5. Warranty and Responsibility
5.1 Damaged goods are to be reported in writing by the member within one week after receiving the goods. The respite begins after receipt of this instruction in writing (i.e. as letter, fax or email), but not before the merchandise has been received or before our duty fulfillments according to § 312e, 1, 1 BGB in connection with § 3 BGB-InfoV. By not packageable goods (such as bulky goods), you can also declare the return in writing. You carry the costs of the return, if the delivered goods conform to what has been ordered. You must return the goods or send your demand of return to: Sofi GmbH, Randstr. 1, 22525 Hamburg or by fax or email. The delivery note must be attached. If the member omits this, his warranty claims will be denied.
5.2 In case of an effective countermand, performances on both sides are to be returned and possible profits (such as interests) are to be repaid. If you are not able to return the received merchandise or service, or only partly or in worse condition, you must render a possible value replacement. By handing over of merchandise this will not come into effect, if the worse condition solely resolves from the testing - as would occur in a store - of the goods. You can avoid a possible value replacement, if you refrain from using the goods as your own property, assuring the value of the goods. Obligations to refund payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. Your respite begins with the posting of your countermand or the shipment of your goods, our respite begins with the receipt of the returned goods.
5.3 For duly raised and justified warranty claims, Sofi GmbH will either offer a reduction in price, a replacement or, if possible, repair of the goods, or cancellation of the order. Should Sofi GmbH choose to replace or repair the goods, and should this fail, then the member is obligated to set an appropriate respite. If this respite is not kept, the member can demand a reduction or cancellation of the order, thereby losing further warranties. The length of the respite is not allowed to be shorter than the usual delivery time of the order.
5.4 No responsibility is taken for damage by the following reasons: Inappropriate or unsuitable use, incorrect assembly and/or start-up by the member or a third party, natural wear, incorrect or careless treatment, disregarding of the operating instructions, unsuitable means of operation, exchanged materials, faulty construction work, unsuitable building ground, chemical, electronic or electrical influences, as long as Sofi GmbH is not to blame for any of this.
6. Area of Jurisdiction
6.1 The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply to these terms and conditions as well as to the entire legal relation between Sofi GmbH and the member.6.2 Exclusive area of jurisdiction and realisation is the main office address of Sofi GmbH.
6.3 Should a provision of this agreement be invalid or become invalid or should this agreement contain an omission, then the legal effect of the other provision shall not thereby be affected. Instead of the invalid provision a valid provision is deemed to have been agreed upon which comes closest to what the parties intended; the same applies in the case of an omission.
6.4 Sofi GmbH is allowed to change these terms and conditions anytime and without mentioning reasons. In case of a retroactive change, the changed conditions shall be forwarded to all members by email two weeks before becoming valid. If the member does not contradict the validity of the new terms and conditions within 2 weeks after receipt of the email, the changed terms and conditions are considered as accepted.
