§ 1 Scope and Provider

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC" or "Terms") apply to all contracts concluded between

(hereinafter "Provider")
and the buyer (hereinafter "Customer") via the Provider's online shop.

1.2 The object of these Terms is exclusively the sale of digital content in the form of e-books (PDF or comparable format) and audiobooks (MP3 or comparable format) for private, non-commercial use.

1.3 The version of the GTC valid at the time the contract is concluded shall be authoritative. Deviating, conflicting, or supplementary General Terms and Conditions of the Customer shall not become part of the contract, even if the Provider does not expressly object to their validity.

1.4 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity (§ 13 BGB). An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity (§ 14 BGB).

§ 2 Conclusion of Contract

2.1 The presentation of the products in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to place an order (invitatio ad offerendum).

2.2 The Customer submits a binding offer by completing the ordering process in the online shop and clicking the "Order with obligation to pay" or "Buy now" button.

2.3 Before submitting the order, the Customer can view and correct their entries at any time using the designated functions in the order process.

2.4 The Provider confirms the receipt of the order immediately by an automatically generated email (order confirmation). This confirmation of receipt does not yet constitute acceptance of the order. The purchase contract is only concluded when the order confirmation is sent or the download link is provided.

2.5 The contract text is not stored by the Provider and is no longer accessible after the ordering process has been completed. The Customer receives the GTC as part of the ordering process as well as by email and should save them for their own purposes.

2.6 The language of the contract is exclusively English (or German, depending on the agreed binding version).

§ 3 Products and Usage Rights

4.2 The total amount is clearly and completely displayed to the Customer before completing the ordering process.

4.3 Payment is made using the payment methods offered in the ordering process. Depending on the selected method, the payment terms of the respective payment service provider apply. Payment is due immediately upon completion of the order.

5.2 The Customer is obliged to provide a correct and valid email address. The Provider is not liable for delays or failed deliveries caused by an incorrect email address.

5.3 The Provider recommends that the Customer save the digital product on their own storage medium immediately after downloading. Continuous access to an online archive or repeated provision of the download link after the successful initial download cannot be guaranteed, although it will generally be provided for a period of 12 months after the purchase date.

Right of Withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us
ALL ABOUT VIDEO GmbH, Bavariafilmplatz 7, D – 82031 Grünwald, E-Mail: info@all-about-video.com
of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or an e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, which is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Expiration of the right of withdrawal for digital content

The right of withdrawal expires prematurely in the case of a contract for the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium (e-book, audiobook as download), if

• the Provider has begun performance of the contract,
• the Customer has expressly agreed that the Provider begins performance of the contract before the withdrawal period expires, and
• the Customer has confirmed knowledge that by their agreement with the beginning of the performance of the contract they lose their right of withdrawal (§ 356 para. 5 BGB).

This agreement and confirmation are made by checking the corresponding mandatory checkbox in the ordering process. The order cannot be completed without this consent.
Note: Once the download has started and the aforementioned consent has been given, the right of withdrawal no longer exists. Please ensure before downloading that you intend to purchase the product.

§ 7 Warranty and Liability for Defects

7.1 Statutory warranty rights apply. The warranty period for digital products is two years from the provision of the download.

7.2 A defect exists if the digital product does not have the agreed quality or is not suitable for the contractually assumed use. Technical limitations resulting from the nature of the Customer's device or incompatible software versions do not constitute a defect.

7.3 In the event of a defect, the Provider is initially entitled to supplementary performance. Supplementary performance shall take place at the Provider's discretion by providing a defect-free product file or resolving the defect. If the supplementary performance fails, the Customer may choose to reduce the purchase price or withdraw from the contract.

7.4 The warranty does not cover defects caused by improper use, faulty devices, or incompatible software.

§ 8 Limitation of Liability

8.1 The Provider is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, for damages resulting from an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Provider, its legal representatives or vicarious agents, as well as for damages resulting from the lack of a characteristic guaranteed by the Provider or maliciously concealed.

8.2 In the event of slight negligence in the breach of duties essential for achieving the purpose of the contract (cardinal duties), the Provider's liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

8.3 Otherwise, the liability of the Provider is excluded.

8.4 The aforementioned limitations of liability also apply in favor of the Provider's legal representatives and vicarious agents.

8.5 The Provider assumes no liability that the information contained in the digital product is complete, current, or suitable for the Customer's individual purpose. In particular, the digital product does not replace individual professional, medical, legal, or financial advice.

10.2 The Provider is not obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board, but is willing to do so if requested by the Customer.

§ 11 Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

11.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies exclusively, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law only applies to the extent that it does not deprive the consumer of the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of their habitual residence.

11.2 If the Customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is Munich.

§ 12 Severability Clause

Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision whose effects come closest to the economic objective pursued by the contracting parties with the invalid or unenforceable provision.

§ 13 Amendments to the GTC

The Provider reserves the right to amend these GTC with effect for the future if this is necessary to adapt to changed legal situations or supreme court rulings. The current version of the GTC is available on the website at any time. For contracts already concluded, the version valid at the time the contract was concluded applies.
