a) Validity
The deliveries, services and offers of SMP GmbH are made exclusively on the basis of these terms and conditions; we do not recognise any terms and conditions of the customer that conflict with or deviate from our terms and conditions, unless we have expressly agreed to their validity. Contractual performance on our part shall in this respect not be deemed to be consent to contractual terms and conditions deviating from our terms and conditions. These terms and conditions shall also apply as a framework agreement to all further legal transactions between the contracting parties. The version of these terms and conditions current at the time of the conclusion of the contract shall be authoritative.
b) Conclusion of contract
A contract offer by a customer requires an order confirmation. The dispatch of the goods ordered by the customer shall also effect the conclusion of the contract. The viewing of the products does not constitute a legal and binding offer. Only by registering, entering your data in full, placing your items in the shopping basket, checking, selecting the desired method of payment and finally clicking on the button "Order now subject to payment" do you place a binding order. This is followed by the confirmation of receipt, which you will receive immediately after the binding order by means of an automated email. With this confirmation of receipt by email, the purchase contract is concluded, taking into account the credit card charge when selecting the payment method "credit card" or the amount received on our account when selecting the payment method "cash in advance".
Should agreements be made between the customer and SMP GmbH after the order has been placed, for example for the proper execution of the order, these shall only be binding in written form.
c) Price
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all prices quoted by us are inclusive of value added tax. Should the wage costs change due to internal company accounts or should other cost centres relevant for the calculation or costs necessary for the provision of services such as those for materials, energy, transport, external work, etc. change, we shall be entitled to increase or reduce the prices accordingly. In the case of consumer transactions, the price adjustment clause of this point shall not apply. Additional costs will be incurred for subsequent order changes, which will be agreed in writing. They thus become binding and will be invoiced to the customer.
