- hereinafter referred to as “provider” -
and
the aforementioned customer
- hereinafter referred to as “customer” -
are concluded.
§ 1 Scope of application, definitions
(1) For the business relationship between the provider and the customer, the following General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively in the version valid at the time of the order. Deviating general terms and conditions of the customer will not be recognized, unless the provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.
(2) The customer is a consumer insofar as the purpose of using the cloud software for the guided creation and execution of interval hypoxia-hyperoxia training (hereinafter “software”) cannot be predominantly attributed to his commercial or self-employed professional activity. In contrast, an entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity that acts in the course of its commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding the contract.
§ 2 Conclusion of contract
(1) The customer can select a product from the provider's range and submit a binding request to conclude a contract for the software by clicking on the “Order now” button. The customer can view and edit the data at any time before submitting the order. However, the request can only be submitted and transmitted if the customer has accepted these contractual terms and conditions by clicking on the “Accept terms of use” button and has thus included them in his request.
(2) The provider then sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail, in which the customer's order is listed again. The automatic confirmation of receipt merely documents that the provider has received the customer's order and does not constitute acceptance of the request. The contract is only concluded when the Provider issues a declaration of acceptance, which is sent in a separate e-mail (order confirmation). In this e-mail or in a separate e-mail, the contract text (consisting of the order, GTC and order confirmation) is sent to the customer by us by e-mail (contract confirmation). The contract text is stored in compliance with data protection.
(3) The contract is concluded in German.
§ 3 Right of withdrawal
(1) Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal when concluding a distance selling transaction, about which the provider provides information below in accordance with the statutory model. A sample withdrawal form can be found in paragraph (2).
