1) Scope of application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of Wiresoft Ltd. & CO. KG (hereinafter referred to as "Seller"), shall 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 its 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 digital content, these GTC apply accordingly, unless otherwise expressly agreed.
1.3 For contracts for the delivery of license keys, these GTC shall apply accordingly, unless otherwise expressly agreed. The Seller shall provide a license key for the use of the software or contents described by him and shall grant the contractually agreed rights to use the respective software or contents. The customer does not acquire any intellectual property rights to the software or content. The respective product description in the seller's online shop is decisive for the quality of the software or content.
1.4 A consumer in the sense of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor their 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.
1.5 Digital content within the meaning of these GTCs is all data not contained on a physical data carrier, which is produced in digital form and made available by the seller under the granting of certain rights of use regulated in more detail in these GTCs.
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online shop of the seller do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit 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. Furthermore, the Customer can also submit the offer to the Seller by fax, e-mail, post or online contact form.
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 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 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 If the payment method "Amazon Payments" is selected, the payment processing shall be carried out via the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as "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 within the scope of the online order process, he shall also issue a payment order to Amazon by clicking the button concluding the order process. In this case, the seller hereby declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the point in time when the customer initiates the payment transaction by clicking the button concluding the order process.
2.6 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is 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 off 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 corresponding login data.
2.7 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.
2.8 The German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.9 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.

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.

In this case, the seller will inform the customer of a corresponding payment restriction in his payment information in the online shop. Furthermore, the seller reserves the right to carry out a credit check when selecting the payment method "purchase on account" and to reject this payment method if the credit check is negative.
4.8 If the payment method "PayPal Direct Debit" is selected, PayPal will collect the invoice amount from the customer's bank account after a SEPA direct debit mandate has been issued, but not before the expiry of the period for advance information on behalf of the seller. Pre-notification is any communication (e.g. invoice, policy, contract) to the customer announcing a debit by SEPA Direct Debit. If the direct debit is not honoured due to insufficient funds in the account or due to the provision of incorrect bank details, or if the customer objects to the debit although he is not entitled to do so, the customer shall bear the fees arising from the chargeback by the respective bank if he is responsible for this.
