1) Scope of application

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions of Business (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of Otmar Böhmer, trading under the name "Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg" (hereinafter referred to as "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods which a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods displayed by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 For contracts for the delivery of vouchers, these General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly, unless otherwise expressly agreed.

1.3 For contracts for the delivery of tickets, these GTCs shall apply accordingly, unless expressly agreed otherwise. These GTCs only regulate the sale of tickets for certain events specified in more detail in the seller's article description and not the execution of these events. For the execution of the events, the legal provisions in the relationship between the customer and the organizer as well as any terms and conditions of the organizer deviating from these shall apply exclusively. If the seller is not also the organizer, he is not liable for the proper execution of the event, for which the respective organizer is exclusively responsible.

1.4 Consumer in the sense of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor his independent professional activity. Entrepreneur in the sense of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to provide a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button concluding the ordering process.

2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days,
- by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
- by requesting the customer to pay after placing his order.

If there are several of the aforementioned alternatives, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the Terms for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a method of payment offered by PayPal, which can be selected in the online order process, the seller declares the acceptance of the customer's offer at the moment the customer clicks on the button completing the order process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the text of the contract will be saved by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent his order. The Seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the Customer via his password-protected user account by entering the relevant login data.

2.6 Before the binding submission of the order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, which is used to enlarge the display on the screen. Within the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 The order processing and contact are usually carried out by e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 More detailed information on the right of revocation can be found in the seller's revocation instructions.

3.3 In accordance with § 312g para. 2 no. 9 BGB, unless otherwise agreed, a right of revocation does not apply to contracts for the provision of services in connection with leisure activities if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision of such services. Accordingly, a right of revocation is also excluded in the case of contracts which have as their object the sale of tickets for scheduled leisure events.

4) Prices and terms of payment

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices which include the statutory value added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs that may be incurred shall be stated separately in the respective product description.

4.2 In the case of deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for money transfer through credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of money if the delivery is not to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

4.3 The customer will be informed of the payment option(s) in the seller's online shop.

4.4 If the payment method invoice purchase is selected, the purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price is payable within 14 (fourteen) days of receipt of the invoice without deduction, unless otherwise agreed. The Seller reserves the right to offer the payment method Invoice Purchase only up to a certain order volume and to reject this payment method if the specified order volume is exceeded. In this case, the seller will inform the customer of a corresponding payment restriction in his payment information in the online shop.

5) Delivery and shipping conditions

5.1 The delivery of goods shall be made by dispatch to the delivery address indicated by the customer, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery address indicated in the Seller's order processing is decisive for the transaction.

5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the Customer is responsible, the Customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Seller as a result. This shall not apply with regard to the costs of the return shipment if the Customer effectively exercises his right of revocation. In the event that the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation, the provision made in the seller's revocation instruction shall apply to the costs of return shipment.

5.3 Collection by the customer is not possible for logistical reasons.

5.4 Vouchers are provided to the customer as follows:
- by download
- by email
- by mail

5.5 Tickets are provided to the customer as follows:
- by download
- by email
- by mail

6) Retention of title

If the seller makes advance payment, he reserves the right of ownership of the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price owed.

7) Liability for defects (warranty)

7.1 If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply.

7.2 The customer is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damages to the deliverer and to inform the seller about it. If the customer does not comply with this, this has no effect on his legal or contractual claims for defects.

8) Redeeming gift vouchers

8.1 Vouchers that can be purchased via the Seller's online shop (hereinafter "gift vouchers") can only be redeemed in the Seller's online shop, unless otherwise stated in the voucher.

8.2 Gift vouchers and remaining credit balances of gift vouchers can be redeemed until the end of the third year following the year of the voucher purchase. Remaining credit balances are credited to the customer until the expiry date.

8.3 Gift vouchers can only be redeemed before the order process is completed. Subsequent charging is not possible.

8.4 Only one gift voucher can be redeemed per order.

8.5 Gift certificates can only be used to purchase goods and not to purchase additional gift certificates.

8.6 If the value of the Gift Certificate is not sufficient to cover the order, one of the other payment methods offered by the Seller may be chosen to settle the difference.

8.7 The credit balance of a gift voucher is neither paid out in cash nor does it bear interest.

8.8 The gift voucher is transferable. The Seller may make payment with discharging effect to the respective holder who redeems the gift voucher in the Seller's online shop. This does not apply if the Seller has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the non-authorisation, legal incapacity or lack of authorisation to represent the respective owner.

9) Applicable law

All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.

10) Alternative dispute resolution

10.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet under the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

This platform serves as a contact point for out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts in which a consumer is involved.

10.2 The seller is not obliged to take part in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board, but is generally willing to do so.
