For individual bulky items, the possible delivery addresses and delivery location may be limited; the restriction is indicated in the respective list price.
(3) The purchaser must be at least 18 years old.
(4) The presentation of the goods in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer. By presenting the goods, the customer is merely invited to make an offer.

(6) The purchase contract between the provider and the purchaser is only concluded upon a declaration of acceptance by the provider. This occurs at the earlier of the two dates: either dispatch of the goods or sending a shipping confirmation via email. Please note that the confirmation of receipt of your order does not constitute a declaration of acceptance in the aforementioned sense.
(7) The validity of contracts for quantities larger than typical household quantities, as well as the commercial resale of the purchased item, requires express confirmation from the provider. This applies both to the number of products ordered within one order and to the placing of multiple orders for the same product, where the individual orders comprise a typical household quantity.
(8) Your orders will be stored by us after the contract has been concluded. If you lose your order records, please contact us by email or phone. We will send you a copy of the order data.

(10) By registering, the customer accepts these General Terms and Conditions. Upon registration, a contractual relationship is established between Iconic Tools and the registered customer, which is governed by the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions.
(11) The presentation of the service on the website does not constitute a legally binding offer. By presenting the service, the customer is merely invited to make an offer.
(12) By ordering a paid service, the registered customer enters into a separate contractual relationship with Iconic Tools. The user will be informed about the respective paid service and the payment terms before concluding this contractual relationship. The contractual relationship is established when the customer confirms the order and payment obligation by clicking the "buy" button.
(13) You agree to receive invoices electronically. Electronic invoices will be made available to you via email or in your customer account on the website. We will inform you for each delivery and service whether an electronic invoice is available. Further information about electronic invoices is available on our website.
3. Prices and shipping costs
(1) Our prices include the applicable statutory value-added tax and include a flat shipping fee and a shipping surcharge. Shipping surcharges vary depending on the delivery method and the nature of the item.
(2) Despite our best efforts, a small number of products in our catalog may be mispriced. We will verify prices when processing your order and before charging your payment. If a product is mispriced and the correct price is higher than the price shown on the website, we will contact you before dispatching the goods to ask if you wish to purchase the product at the correct price or cancel your order. If a product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the product.

They do not constitute binding or guaranteed shipping or delivery dates, unless this is expressly stated as a binding date in the shipping options for the respective product.
(2) If Iconic Tools determines during the processing of your order that products you have ordered are not available, you will be notified separately via email or a message in your customer account. The customer's statutory rights remain unaffected.
(3) If delivery to the customer is not possible because the delivered goods do not fit through the customer's entrance door, front door or staircase or because the customer cannot be found at the delivery address provided by him, although the delivery time was announced to the customer with a reasonable period of time, the customer shall bear the costs for the unsuccessful delivery.
(4) Delivery will be made according to the customer's payment method. In the case of advance payment, delivery will be made after the payment order has been issued to the transferring bank. In the case of payment via PayPal, credit card, gift card, direct debit, instant bank transfer, or invoice, delivery will be made after the contract has been concluded.
(5) If your order is shipped in more than one package, you may receive a separate shipping confirmation for each package.

Iconic Tools further reserves the right to remove profiles and/or any content posted on the Website by or from the User.

(5) Following the termination of any individual use of the Iconic Tools services, Iconic Tools reserves the right to send notification of this to other registered users with whom Iconic Tools believes the user has been in contact. Iconic Tools's decision to terminate the user's registration and/or to notify other users with whom Iconic Tools believes the user has been in contact does not imply or in any way state that Iconic Tools makes any statements about the individual's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or lifestyle.
(6) Users are obligated not to provide any intentional or fraudulent false information in their profile or in any other areas of the portal. Such information may result in civil action. Furthermore, the operator reserves the right to terminate the existing contractual relationship with immediate effect in such a case.

(8) After termination of the contractual relationship, all user data will be deleted by Iconic Tools.
7. Limitation of Liability (Services)
(1) Iconic Tools assumes no responsibility for the content and accuracy of the information in the registration and profile data of the purchasers or other content generated by the purchasers.
(2) With regard to the service sought or offered, the contract is concluded exclusively between the respective participating customers. Therefore, Iconic Tools is not liable for the services provided by participating customers. Accordingly, all matters relating to the relationship between the customers, including, without exception, the services received by a seeker or payments due to the customer, must be addressed directly to the respective party. Iconic Tools cannot be held responsible for this and hereby expressly rejects all liability claims of any kind, including claims, services, direct or indirect damages of any kind, conscious or unconscious, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, in any way related to the aforementioned matters.

(4) For other damages, insofar as they are not based on the breach of cardinal obligations (such obligations the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely), Iconic Tools Europe shall only be liable if they are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Iconic Tools or on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of Iconic Tools.
(5) Claims for damages are limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages. In the event of delay, they shall not exceed 5% of the order value.
(6) Claims for damages based on injury to life, body, health or freedom shall become time-barred after 30 years; in all other cases, after 1 year, with the limitation period ending at the end of the year in which the claim arose and the creditor became aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and of the identity of the debtor or would have become aware of them without gross negligence (Section 199 (1) of the German Civil Code).
(7) The provider reserves the right to review the content of any text written by a user as well as any uploaded files for compliance with the law and, if necessary, to delete them in whole or in part.

9. Retention of title
Iconic Tools reserves ownership of the goods until full payment has been made.
10. Transport damage
(1) If the purchaser receives the goods with obvious transport damage, the provider requests that he/she complain about this as soon as possible.
(2) Should the customer fail to file a complaint, this will have no consequences for the statutory warranty rights. The purpose of the complaint is to enable the provider to assert its own claims against the carrier.
11. Defects
(1) If the purchaser is a consumer, the warranty and liability for defects of the delivered item are governed by statutory provisions: Accordingly, purchasers in the European Union have warranty rights for a period of two years from delivery of the goods, in addition to their 30-day return guarantee, and can request the repair or replacement of products purchased from Iconic Tools if they prove to be defective or not as described. If the goods cannot be repaired or replaced within a reasonable time or without difficulty, you can request a refund or a reduction in the purchase price.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period may be shorter than two years.
(3) If the purchaser is not a consumer, the defect shall be remedied by new delivery or new performance.
12. Limitation of Liability (Products)
(1) The provider is liable for claims for damages by the customer resulting from injury to life, body or health or from the breach of essential contractual obligations, as well as for other damages resulting from intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the provider or one of its legal representatives or vicarious agents.
(2) Essential contractual obligations are obligations whose fulfilment is necessary to achieve the purpose of the contract.
(3) The provider is liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations resulting from typical, foreseeable damages, provided the damage was caused by simple negligence. This limitation does not apply to claims for damages by the customer based on injury to life, body, or health.
(4) The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.
(5) To the extent that Iconic Tools’ liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
