1) SCOPE OF APPLICATION
1.1These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of the company ICUserver GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") shall apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer or a trader (hereinafter referred to as "Client") and the Seller relating to all goods and/or services presented in the Seller's online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby rejected, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly stipulated otherwise.
1.3A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession. An entrepreneur within the meaning 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 their commercial or independent professional activity.
1.4Depending on the seller's product description, components of the seller's product range presented may be linked to the conclusion of a contract for the provision of telecommunications services (hereinafter "telecommunications contract") with a third-party provider (hereinafter "service provider"). In this case, the existence of the contract with the seller depends on the conclusion of a telecommunications contract with the service provider and on the fact that the telecommunications contract is not cancelled by the customer. The relevant statutory provisions and any deviating contractual terms and conditions of the respective service provider apply to the telecommunications contract. The seller merely acts as an intermediary for such contracts.
2) CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
2.1The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.
2.2The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping basket and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. The customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone or e-mail.
2.3The 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 in this respect, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
- by requesting payment from the customer after the order has been placed.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end 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.
2.4If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment is processed via 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 and conditions 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 payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button concluding the ordering process.
2.5If the payment method "Amazon Payments" is selected, payment is processed via the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, which can be viewed at https://payments.amazon.de/help/201751590. If the customer selects "Amazon Payments" as the payment method during the online ordering process, he also issues a payment order to Amazon by clicking the button that concludes the order process. In this case, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the point in time at which the customer initiates the payment process by clicking the button concluding the order process.
2.6When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller after the contract is concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the customer's order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract available beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online shop before sending his order, the order data is 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 corresponding login data.
2.7Before placing a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can recognise possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means of better recognising input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. Customers can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click on the button that finalises the ordering process.
2.8The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.9Order processing and contact are generally 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 CANCELLATION
3.1Consumers are generally entitled to a right of cancellation.
3.2Further information on the right of cancellation can be found in the seller's cancellation policy.
4) PRICES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
4.1Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.
4.2For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further 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 the transfer of money by 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 funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
4.3The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop.
4.4If advance payment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment shall be due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed a later due date.
4.5If the "SOFORT" payment method is selected, payment is processed via the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter referred to as "SOFORT"). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", legitimise himself accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then immediately executed by "SOFORT" and the customer's bank account is debited. The customer can find more information on the "SOFORT" payment method on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/.
4.6If a payment method offered via the payment service "Shopify Payments" is selected, the payment is processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe"). The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments are communicated to the customer in the seller's online shop. Stripe may use other payment services to process payments, for which special payment terms may apply, to which the customer may be informed separately. Further information on "Shopify Payments" is available on the Internet at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-de.
4.7If the payment method purchase on account is selected, the purchase price is due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced. In this case, the purchase price must be paid within 7 (seven) days of receipt of the invoice without deduction, unless otherwise agreed. The seller reserves the right to offer the payment method purchase on account 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.
4.8If the payment method credit card via Stripe is selected, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. Payment is processed by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Stripe"). Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check and to reject this payment method if the credit check is negative.
5) DELIVERY AND SHIPPING CONDITIONS
5.1Unless otherwise agreed, goods shall be delivered by dispatch to the delivery address specified by the customer. When processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive. Notwithstanding this, if the payment method PayPal is selected, the delivery address provided by the customer to PayPal at the time of payment shall be decisive.
5.2If 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 does not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation. If the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation, the provision in the seller's cancellation policy shall apply to the return costs.
5.3Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
5.4Vouchers are issued to the customer as follows:
- per download

7.1If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of statutory liability for defects shall apply.
7.2If the customer is acting as a consumer, he is requested to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer fails to do so, this shall have no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

12) APPLICABLE LAW
The law of the Republic of Austria shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of goods.

If the customer acts as a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Republic of Austria, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the registered office of the seller.
