Standard Business Terms and customer information
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following business terms are applicable to all the contracts, which you conclude with us as a supplier (Plant for Future Rostock e.V.) via the https://plantforfuture.org/ website. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the inclusion, if necessary, of your own conditions is ruled out.
(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of digital content (data created and provided in digital form).
(2) By placing the respective digital content on our website, we submit to you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping cart system under the conditions specified in the item description.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The digital content intended for purchase is placed in the “shopping cart”. You can call up the “shopping cart” via the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time. After clicking the button “Checkout” or “Proceed to order” (or similar designation) and entering the personal data as well as the terms of payment, the order data will finally be displayed to you as an order overview.
If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort, giropay) as a payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or redirected to the website of the instant payment system provider.
If you are forwarded to the relevant instant payment system, choose and/or enter your details as appropriate. Finally, you will be shown the order data as an order overview on the website of the instant payment system provider, or after you have been redirected back to our online shop.
Before submitting the order, you have the option once more to review or change (you may also use the “Back” button on the Internet browser) any information on the order summary page or to cancel the purchase.
By sending the order via the corresponding button (“order with obligation to pay”, “buy” / “buy now”, “order with obligation to pay”, “pay” / “pay now” or similar designation) you declare the legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) Your requests for quotations are not binding for you. For this purpose, we submit a binding offer to you in text form (e.g. by email), which you can accept within 5 days (unless a different period is stated in the respective offer).
(5) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 License of use in case of digital content
(1) The digital content offered is protected by copyright. For each digital content purchased from us, you will receive a license of use from the respective Licensor. The type and scope of the license of use result from the license terms stated in the respective offer.
§ 4 Contract duration / Cancellation in case of subscription contracts
(1) The subscription contract concluded between you and us has the term specified in the respective offer. A basic term of more than 2 years cannot be agreed.
(2) The contract ends automatically when the term expires; a notice of termination is not required.
(3) The right to terminate the contract without notice for important reasons remains unaffected.
(4) Any notice of termination must be declared and transmitted either in text form (e.g. e-mail) or via the cancellation button integrated on our Internet presence (“Cancel contracts here” or similar designation).

§ 6 Right of retention
You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
§ 7 Warranty
(1) The statutory rights of liability for defects apply.
(2) Insofar as a feature of the digital content deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contractual parties.
(3) Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer’s product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the digital content, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide a warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your discretion, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the digital content or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise.
c) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the digital content. The shortening of the period shall not apply
– for culpably caused damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
– insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have given a guarantee for the quality of the digital content;
– in the case of items that have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
– in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you have against us in connection with defect rights.
§ 8 Choice of law
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.
