§ 1 General Information, Scope 
The following General Terms and Conditions apply for all contracts between Stefan Wiessmeyer and the orderer (in the following named "buyer"), who uses the Internet services and offers of Stefan Wiessmeyer. The General Terms and Conditions applicable are those effective at the conclusion of a contract. Other terms and conditions are not recognized by Stefan Wiessmeyer. Changes or amendments to this contract must be in writing to be legally applicable.

§ 2 Conclusion of Contract
The offers of Stefan Wiessmeyer in the Internet constitute a non-binding offer to the buyer. All offers are subject to change. When placing an order for desired goods through the Internet the buyer is making a binding offer to effect a conclusion of a contract. After placing his order the buyer receives a confirmation of his order from Stefan Wiessmeyer per e-mail. Stefan Wiessmeyer reserves the right to refrain from delivering the goods should the offered goods not be available and will immediately inform the buyer of this.
The contract is concluded when the ordered goods are shipped to the buyer and the shipping of the goods is confirmed by a further e-mail. Invoicing is done when the goods are shipped.

§ 3 Statement of the Restitution Proceedings and Consequences for Consumers

1. Returns
The buyer can return the goods within one month without explanation. The fixed period begins with receipt of these instructions in written form (as a letter, fax or e-mail), but not before the buyer receives the goods (for recurring deliveries of similar items, not before the buyer receives the first partial delivery) and not before the completion of the duty of the seller to inform the buyer according to Article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 Sections 1 and 2 of the Introductory Law to the German Civil Code (EGBGB) as well as our duties according to § 312g Section 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB) in conjunction with Article 246 § 3 of the Introductory Law to the Civil Code (EGBGB).
Only goods which are not eligible for normal shipping as a parcel (e.g. bulky goods) can also be returned by declaring a request of return in writing. In order to comply with the one month deadline the timely dispatching of the goods is sufficient. In either case, the return is done at the cost and risk of the seller.

The return of goods or return requisition is to be sent to:

Stefan Wiessmeyer · Elisenstr. 3 · D-82152 Krailling
Telefon: +49 / (0)89 / 85 66 22 10 · Telefax: +49 / (0)89 / 85 66 22 11
e-mail: info@wiessmeyer.de · www.wiessmeyer.de

In case of a requisition of return, the goods will be picked up.

2. Consequences of Return
In the case of effective return, the goods and services taken by either party are to be returned and if applicable, goods and services used (e.g. compensation for use) are to be compensated. When there is a deterioration of the returned goods and for the usage (e.g. compensation for use), which results in the goods not being returned partly or wholly or only in a worse condition, compensation to us must be made. This does not apply to the goods when used as intended and the resulting deterioration must not be compensated. Value compensation when applicable to deterioration within the framework of the intended use of the goods must only be made, when the goods were used in a way that goes beyond assessing the properties and functionality of the goods. The definition of “assessing the properties and functionality of the goods” means the testing and trying on of the goods as is possible and common for buyers to do in shops. The obligation to refund payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. The time limit begins for the buyer when the goods or return requisition are shipped; the time limit begins for the seller at the receipt of sent goods or the return requisition.

3. Exclusion of the Right of Return
The right of return is not applicable to the delivery of goods which have been especially produced according to the individual requirements of the customer. (i.e. customized production, engraving etc.)

- This ends this Statement of the Restitution Proceedings and Consequences for Consumers -

§ 4 Terms of Payment and Prices
The prices on the Internet site of Stefan Wiessmeyer include the statutory value added tax for Germany. The prices do not include the delivery and shipping costs. For buyers from countries outside the European Union the prices without the value added tax are applicable, however customs and excise taxes collected by the country of destination must be added.
The payment of the goods can be made in by advance bank transfer, cash on delivery, credit card (MasterCard, VISA, American Express) or PayPal. Payment through cash on delivery is only possible within Germany. Stefan Wiessmeyer reserves the right in individual cases to accept or refuse particular methods of payment. In the case of an advance bank transfer the buyer will receive in written form (e-mail, letter or fax) the bank details from Stefan Wiessmeyer. After payment has been received the goods will be shipped.
If the goods are to be sent per cash on delivery, payment will be made to the courier of the responsible shipping company when the goods are delivered. The amount of the invoice includes the charges for the delivery of the goods per cash on delivery. The Deutsche Post (DHL) charges an additional 2 Euros delivery fee upon delivery.

§ 5 Delivery, Delivery Period and Shipping Costs
The shipment will be sent to the address stipulated by the buyer. Delivery takes place on average within 1 week.
For custom made goods Stefan Wiessmeyer will inform the buyer individually about the delivery period. As a matter of course Stefan Wiessmeyer ships all orders placed during the pre-Christmas season such that they arrive before Christmas.
When it is agreed that shipping will take place after receiving an advance bank transfer, the shipping of the goods will take place immediately upon receipt of payment, unless something else has been agreed to in written form. The buyer is aware that when choosing the payment option advance bank transfer, he must take the processing time of the bank into consideration. Should timely shipping not be possible, Stefan Wiessmeyer will immediately inform the buyer. The stated shipping periods are non-binding as Stefan Wiessmeyer has no influence on the delivery time of the shipping companies.
The fee for shipping goods within Germany is 5.90 EUR and is paid by the buyer. For countries outside Germany but within the European Union, and for Switzerland and Lichtenstein we charge a shipping and handling fee of 9.50 EUR for a shipment via an insured letter. In this case further charges due to customs and excise taxes are possible. For shipments to foreign countries outside the European Union the buyer will be informed about the extra shipping costs. Should the buyer want to have a special kind of shipping for which higher costs are incurred (e.g. express), he will be charged the additional shipping fees.
Stefan Wiessmeyer has the right to partial delivery. The costs for the partial delivery are carried by Stefan Wiessmeyer.

§ 6 Shipping Damages
Should the goods arrive with discernable damages on the packaging or its contents, the buyer must complain to the shipping company immediately and contact Stefan Wiessmeyer without delay, so that he may assert his rights against the shipping company.

§ 7 Reservation of Title
The object of purchase remains the property of Stefan Wiessmeyer until it has been paid for in full. 

§ 8 Warranty
1. Stefan Wiessmeyer guarantees that the goods are free of defects upon delivery. Stefan Wiessmeyer offers jewelry of his own craftsmanship. Should there be a material defect within 6 months after the delivery of the goods, it is assumed that the defect was present at the time of delivery, unless this assumption is incongruous with the kind of goods or the type of defect. Should the material defect occur after the first six months after delivery, the buyer must prove that the material defect was already present upon the delivery of the goods.

2. The pictures of the goods can appear slightly different from the delivered goods, especially in color and texture. Claims based on defects are not valid in as far as the modifications can reasonably be imposed on the buyer. The pictures on the Internet can vary from the actual colors of the original due to the kind and quality of the technical devices the buyer uses and are therefore not grounds for a warranty claim.

3. Should the goods be defect upon delivery, the buyer has the choice between subsequent fulfillment or replacement. Stefan Wiessmeyer has the right to refuse the kind of chosen subsequent fulfillment, when the costs to be incurred are unreasonably disproportionate and another kind of subsequent fulfillment is without significant disadvantages to the buyer.

4. Should the subsequent fulfillment fall through, the buyer can categorically choose between lowering the price or cancelling the contract as well as seeking damages. The buyer is not entitled to a cancellation of contract due to insignificant damages.

5. Should Stefan Wiessmeyer in executing a subsequent fulfillment ship goods free of defects, Stefan Wiessmeyer can demand the return of the defect goods.

6. The warranty period is two years and begins with the delivery of the goods to the buyer. Jewelry can show normal traces of use in the form of scratches, discoloration or abrasion marks which are not defects nor subject to warranty. Further, damages resulting from natural wear and tear, improper use and inadequate or incorrect care or storage are also exempt from warranty. Damages that are incurred due to improper handling or storage which are contrary to contract do not constitute justification for a claim against Stefan Wiessmeyer.

§ 9 Limitation of Liability
1. For damages, other than those causing injury to life, body and health, Stefan Wiessmeyer is only liable in as far as these damages are caused deliberately or due to gross negligence or are due to the culpable breech of the main contractual obligation by Stefan Wiessmeyer or the persons assisting in the performance of the contractual obligations. Essential to the contract is an obligation, whose fulfillment is only enabled by the duly execution of the contract and whose compliance hereto the buyer can generally rely on. Liability for damages exceeding the above mentioned are excluded. Claims made from an actual Stefan Wiessmeyer warranty for the quality and the workmanship of the goods remains unaffected.

2. Due to the current technological status quo data communication over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be error-free or available at all times. We, therefore, are not liable for the continual availability of our online shop.

§ 12 Choice of Jurisdiction
German law solely applies to the contractual relationship between the contact parties – without reference to provisions of international rules regarding conflict of law - and under exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) from 11.04.1980 does not apply. For buyers, who are traders in the sense of § 14 BGB (German Civil Code), Starnberg is the agreed place of jurisdiction. 

§ 13 Gift Certificates
A cash payout of online gift certificates, even partially, is not possible. 

§ 14 Severability Clause 
Should any provision of these General Terms and Conditions be or become invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining General Terms and Conditions remains unaffected. A valid or enforceable provision shall in such a case replace the invalid or unenforceable provision, whose effect best approximates the economic objective, which the contract parties had previously pursued with the invalid or unenforceable provision. The preceding provisions are valid should any part of these General Terms and Condition prove to be incomplete. § 139 BGB (German Civil Code) is not applicable.
