In doing so, after having placed the selected goods and/or services in the virtual basket and passed through the ordering process, and by clicking the button finalizing the order process, the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the virtual basket.

- by requesting the Client to pay after placing his order.

The contract shall be concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives firstly occurs. Should the Seller not accept the Client's offer within the aforementioned period of time, this shall be deemed as rejecting the offer, with the effect that the Client is no longer bound by his statement of intent.

2.8 Prior to submitting a binding order via the Seller’s online order form, the Client may recognize input errors by attentively reading the information displayed on the screen.

General

The good goods tegernsee GmbH GGT shall grant guarantee services to the End Customer in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below for all products supplied to the end consumer under the reacha brand, which are marked as products with the “reacha 2 year warranty”. The contractual and/or statutory rights of the end customer as against the respective seller and the statutory rights of the end customer as against the product’s manufacturer shall not be affected by this guarantee.

"End Customer" shall be any consumer who first purchased the as-new product from GGT, a seller, a dealer or any other natural or legal person who sells the product in the course of his commercial or independent professional activity. "Consumer" within the meaning of this manufacturer's warranty is any natural person who has purchased the advertised product for private use and not to use it in the course of his commercial or independent professional activity (e.g. to resell, rent or use in business).

This manufacturer's warranty is not transferable. In the event of resale, the manufacturer's warranty does not pass to the purchaser even if the purchaser is also a consumer.

Warranty scope and period

GGT guarantees the End Customer that the advertised product is free from material, manufacturing, design and functional defects. In assessing whether a product is defective, the technical standard at the date of manufacture of the product shall be used as the basis.

The manufacturer's warranty applies to all reacha brand products for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase by the End Customer, but for a maximum of 6 years after manufacture. The period shall not be extended on the basis of warranties within the scope of this warranty or the statutory warranty, nor shall the period start anew in these cases. Nothing to the contrary shall result even if these warranty conditions are enclosed with the replacement product; this shall neither establish a new warranty nor restart the warranty period.

The territorial scope of the manufacturer's warranty extends to the territory of the European Union. This manufacturer's warranty shall only apply to End Customers who have purchased the product concerned from GGT or via a sales partner.

Assertion and limitation

For assertion, the End Customer shall notify the defect of the product in writing to GGT or to the GGT sales partner from whom he has acquired the product.

The notice of defect shall be given within a preclusion period of two months from the time when the customer became aware of the defect or could have become aware of it. In any case, however, the notification of the defect must be made before the expiry of the warranty period. The customer must prove that the warranty period has not yet expired, in particular by presenting the purchase receipt.

The notice of defect must contain

  • detailed description of the defect
  • name and address of the End Customer
  • proof that the advertised product was purchased as an End Customer, e.g. proof of purchase with date of purchase, trade name of the seller and product designation.

The written notice of defect shall be sent by e-mail to hello@reacha.shop, via the contact form at /pages/contact-us or by mail to good goods tegernsee GmbH, Flößergasse 6a, 81369 Munich. 

The warranty claim shall become statute-barred upon expiry of the warranty period. If a claim has been asserted within the warranty period in compliance with the above requirements, but the warranty service owed has not yet been rendered by GGT, the limitation period shall be suspended until the service has been rendered.

Prerequisites and exclusions

The prerequisite for claiming the guarantee service is that the guarantor is enabled to examine the guarantee case (e.g. by sending in the goods). Care must be taken to avoid damage to the goods in transit by packing them securely.

Further preconditions for claiming this guarantee are a professional installation of the product concerned in accordance with the assembly instructions and the recognised rules of technology as well as the use of the respective product in accordance with the instructions for use and assembly of GGT. 

If GGT is able to prove or if there is an objectively justified suspicion that these prerequisites are not fulfilled, GGT shall be entitled to refuse to honour the guarantee unless the End Customer proves that the aforementioned prerequisites are fulfilled.

Any instructions for use and assembly as well as any other technical instructions are enclosed with each product and are available at /pages/manuals.

  • normal wear and tear
  • improper or abusive handling
  • non-observance of any safety precautions
  • use of force (e.g. blows)
  • attempts to repair by the user
  • environmental influences (heat, humidity etc.)
  • commercial or independent professional use
  • use of the advertised product not in accordance with its intended or recommended use or otherwise in an improper or abusive manner
  • minor deviations of the advertised product from its intended condition which have no influence on the utility value of the product

Benefits in the event of a warranty claim

In the event of a warranty case according to the above provisions, GGT shall provide the manufacturer's warranty by 1) repairing the product concerned or supplying the necessary spare parts for this purpose, 2) replacing the product or 3) refunding the purchase price to the End Customer at its own discretion and in accordance with the following provisions.

Repair

As a rule, the End Customer shall repair the defective product himself on site with the prior consent of GGT. In this case, the manufacturer's warranty shall include the free delivery of the necessary spare parts. If GGT decides by written agreement to carry out the repair itself, GGT shall bear the costs incurred thereby for spare parts, installation and its own labour costs as well as any expenses for the transport or dispatch of the product. The End Customer shall make the defective product accessible.

Replacement

In the event of replacement, the defective product shall be replaced free of charge by a new product of the same kind, quality and type. If the product concerned is no longer manufactured at the time of notification of the defect, GGT shall be entitled to supply a comparable replacement product. The End Customer shall, at the request of GGT, return the defective product beforehand at GGT's expense. Ownership of the defective product shall pass to GGT upon return.

Refund of the purchase price
