Standard Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Goods

1. Scope of Application

These standard terms and conditions (”Standard Terms and Conditions”) apply to consumers, private individuals, institutions or companies (“Buyer” or ”Customer”) when making an order from Kemppi Oy, Kempinkatu 1, 15810 Lahti, Finland, tel. +358 3 89911, VAT Reg.Num FI20518261, e-mail info@kemppi.com (”Seller” or ”Kemppi”) through the Kemppi web shop at www.shop-de.kemppi.com or www.shop-b2b-de.kemppi.com or another website associated therewith (”Web Shop”). These Standard Terms and Conditions constitute an integral and essential part of the distance sale agreement between the Buyer and the Seller (“Agreement”).

2. Conclusion of the Agreement

Product orders are made in the web shop by adding the desired product(s) (“Goods”) to the basket. There, the Customer may modify the desired quantity or remove selected Goods entirely at any time. In the next step, the Customer may enter his/her data and choose the shipping and payment method. In the following step, an overview page opens where the Customer can check his/her order details and correct any errors. By clicking “order with obligation to pay” in the last step of the order process, the Customer submits a binding offer for purchase of the Goods displayed in the order overview. Immediately after submitting the order, the Customer will receive an order confirmation, which does not yet constitute the acceptance of the Customer’s contract offer.  A contract comes to existence as soon as the Seller accepts the Customer’s offer and thereby confirms the order by means of a separate e-mail. This confirmation includes the price and the costs of delivery of the order, the ordered Goods, as well as other information required by applicable mandatory legislation.

The following languages are available for the conclusion of the contract: German, English
