1.              Scope of Application and Definitions

RAEN Optics GmbH, Danzinger Straße 2, 85386 Eching, Germany ("RAEN") distributes products and goods ("Goods") via the RAEN webshop operated under [www.raen.eu] ("Webshop"). Sales and deliveries of Goods by RAEN on the basis of orders placed by you as the customer ("Customer") via the Webshop shall be made exclusively in accordance with the following General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery for the Webshop ("Terms of Sale"). Customer accepts the Terms of Sale by the placing of an order via the Webshop. The application of Customer's conflicting or supplementary terms and conditions shall be excluded, even if RAEN does not expressly object to such terms and conditions.

2.              Approved Customers, Order Quantities and Delivery Destinations

2.1           Customer may place orders in the Webshop only if it acts as a consumer, i.e. as a natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside its trade, business or profession.

2.2           RAEN shall accept only such orders for delivery of quantities common for own use.

2.3           Delivery of Goods shall only be made to the following countries: [Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, United Kingdom]

 Delivery of Goods to other countries will not be made. Customers from other Member States of the European Economic Area ("EEA") have the possibility to order Goods and have them delivered to a delivery address in one of the countries listed above.

If RAEN agrees to deliver to other countries, duties and/or similar charges may incur and Customer is obliged to bear these duties and charges and file and/or obtain any required declarations and approvals in due time and at its own expense. The same shall apply to deliveries to the United Kingdom, should such charges arise upon the UK leaving the European Union ("EU"). Any consequences, such as delays, costs or damages, which arise due to the culpable non-fulfillment of these obligations by Customer, shall be the responsibility of Customer and shall be borne by Customer.

3.              Placing an Order and Conclusion of Contract via the Webshop

3.1           The presentation of Goods in the Webshop  does not constitute binding offers by RAEN to enter into a sales contract, but merely invite Customer to make a binding offer as to whether and which Goods it wants to order from RAEN. Customer may choose Goods of RAEN from the product range in the Webshop and add them to the shopping cart via the button " ". When entering the quantity of the Goods and the delivery address, Customer is made aware of any delivery restrictions pursuant to Section 2. Before clicking the button " ", all Goods selected by Customer, their total price including statutory VAT in the respective applicable amount as well as duties, charges and shipping costs are again displayed in an order overview to Customer for review. At that stage, Customer will have the opportunity to identify and correct any incorrect entries before finally placing the binding order. Before placing the binding order, the contractual provisions including these Terms of Sale can be accessed once again and saved in durable medium. Via the button "Order with Obligation to Pay ", Customer submits a binding offer for the conclusion of a sales contract on the Goods collected in the cart. The offer can, however, only be submitted and transferred if Customer accepts, and thereby includes in its offer, these Terms of Sale by   the corresponding box.

3.2           RAEN shall confirm receipt of Customer's order by e-mail. However, such confirmation of receipt is not yet a legally binding acceptance of Customer’s order.

3.3           The contract shall only become effective once RAEN has accepted Customer's offer. RAEN's order acceptance can be made expressly by way of a declaration in text form, e.g. by sending a written order confirmation by e-mail, or by RAEN handing over the Goods for dispatch and informing Customer accordingly. The sales contract shall be governed exclusively by the contents of the order acceptance and these Terms of Sale. Verbal agreements or promises shall only be valid if an authorized employee of RAEN has confirmed them in writing.

3.4           If the Goods ordered by Customer cannot be delivered, e.g. because the corresponding Goods are not in stock, RAEN may refrain from accepting the order. In this case, no contract will be concluded. RAEN shall inform Customer thereof without undue delay.

3.5           The contract terms   Customer will, however, be provided with any and all contractual provisions and these Terms of Sale (by e-mail or letter).
