  1. Conclusion of a contract
    a) Jongerius ecoduna’s offers in their entirety are subject to change without notice. The orders of the customer are in the legal sense the offer to which the customer is bound for 10 days. The contract shall be concluded either upon Jongerius ecoduna’s confirmation of the order (by telephone or in person) or upon delivery or performance. A separate notification of the customer about the acceptance is not required.
    b) Jongerius ecoduna reserves the right to accept orders only in part. 
    c) Online orders are possible only if all compulsory fields (fields marked with an asterisk) are filled in. Prior to sending the order the customer receives a summary of the contents of the order including prices, which he can then correct or confirm. We will automatically confirm the receipt of the order at Jongerius ecoduna by means of an e-mail, which, however, does not yet constitute an acceptance of the order. Messages are received at Jongerius ecoduna only during the normal business hours (Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. with the exception of Austrian public holidays). Messages which are received on the server of Jongerius ecoduna outside the normal business hours are considered received only on the following working day.
    d) The customer is aware that the Internet is not a secure communication medium and that data transmitted via the Internet can on the one hand become known and on the other hand be altered by third parties. The risk that data does not arrive at Jongerius ecoduna in the form transmitted by the customer is borne by the customer. Jongerius ecoduna assumes that the data, as received by Jongerius ecoduna, was sent by the customer in this form.
  2. Prices
    Depending on the type of customer (reseller or consumer) or in the event of a possible international connection, the prices are to be understood according to the current price lists and inclusive of the statutory Austrian sales tax, excluding delivery charges and all other ancillary services, unless other delivery conditions are specified in the respective valid price list. If not otherwise declared, the standard prices are quoted in euros. The respective valid export and import duties apply additionally to deliveries outside Austria. 
  3. Delivery and delivery time 
    a) The dispatch of the goods by Jongerius ecoduna to the delivery address provided by the customer at the time of ordering is carried out at the expense of the customer. The shipping method by post is considered as standard shipping. If the customer requests, the use of a private delivery service will be approved. If the customer is a consumer within the meaning of the consumer protection law, he carries the risk of loss or damage for delivered goods. If the customer is an entrepreneur within the meaning of the Austrian Commercial Code, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods is transferred to the customer upon dispatch of the goods to the customer, but at the latest upon leaving Jongerius ecoduna.
    b) Jongerius ecoduna’s delivery dates are non-binding. If delivery dates are not met, this shall only entitle the customer to make use of his right of withdrawal/revocation if Jongerius ecoduna, even after a minimum of two weeks grace period has been set in writing, still does not carry out the delivery.
    c) The delivery period is extended for the duration of hindrances that are due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties, such as force majeure, unforeseeable operational breakdowns, official interventions, transport and customs clearance delays, transport damages, breakdown of important production components and industrial disputes.
    d) To the extent that partial deliveries are possible, they are also legally permissible. Each partial delivery is regarded as a separate business transaction and can be invoiced separately by Jongerius ecoduna.
    e) Applies only within Austria: If the customer desires the dispatch with EMS, pickup, Post24 or other dispatch offerers, the delivery times and shipping costs specified with the selection of the dispatch option apply independently of the order value.

Only if these two services are impossible or impracticable the customer can claim – in accordance with the legal regulations – commensurate reduction in price or rescission.
