General Terms and Conditions of Business and Delivery


Notice (GTC) for our online store (Highlife Fabrics), valid for all delivery transactions of the seller to our customers. We draw your attention to the following modalities of the contract concluded between you and us for the delivery of the goods ordered by you: 

The following General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively to the purchase of our products via our Internet store in the version valid at the time of the order. Subsidiary agreements and deviating agreements must be made in writing to be legally effective. In business transactions with companies, our terms and conditions of sale shall apply to all future transactions with the customer even without express reference. 

(1) Consumers in the sense of these terms and conditions are natural persons who enter into a business relationship with Highlife Fabrics without this being attributable to their commercial or independent professional activity.

(2) The contractual partner is Highlife Fabrics, Große Bergstraße 154, 22767 Hamburg, represented by the managing director Bruno Elam. Any claims should also be sent to this address.

(1) The offers of Highlife Fabrics on the Internet represent a non-binding invitation to the customer to order goods.

(2) By ordering the desired object of purchase on the Internet, the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a contract.

(3) The presentation of the products in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalog. By clicking on the "Send order" button, you place a binding order for the goods contained in the shopping cart. Confirmation of receipt of your order will be sent together with acceptance of the order by automated e-mail immediately after it has been sent. The purchase contract is concluded with this e-mail confirmation.

(4) If our delivery is made without the customer having previously received an order confirmation, the delivery shall also be deemed to be the conclusive acceptance of the offer. If the acceptance period pursuant to paragraph 4 has expired, the delayed acceptance shall be deemed a new offer to the customer. By unpacking and using the goods, the orderer declares his acceptance of this offer. Highlife Fabrics waives receipt of the declaration of acceptance.

(1) Highlife Fabrics reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of spelling, printing and calculation errors in the auction description. This right also exists if the buyer has made false statements about his person or his creditworthiness or if insolvency proceedings have been opened against his assets or have been rejected due to a lack of assets to cover the costs. In such a case, the buyer is granted the right to make an advance payment or provide security.

(2) In the event of partial withdrawal, any services already rendered shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the contract in addition to any claims for damages.

(1) In principle, delivery shall be ex warehouse to the delivery address specified by the customer.

(2) If the purchaser is a consumer, the risk is transferred to the purchaser as soon as the delivery has been handed over to the purchaser. In the event that the purchaser is an entrepreneur, the risk is transferred to them as soon as Highlife Fabrics has handed over the delivery to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment.

(3) If the possibility of delivery depends on Highlife Fabrics itself being supplied on time by an upstream supplier and if the delivery fails for reasons for which Highlife Fabrics is not responsible, both parties are entitled to withdraw from the contract. The purchaser is then not entitled to compensation. The orderer will be informed immediately that the delivery is not possible and any service already rendered will be reimbursed immediately.

(4) The same applies if delivery is made considerably more difficult or impossible due to force majeure or other events and Highlife Fabrics is not responsible for this. Such events include, for example: Fire, flooding, strike etc., which are not attributable to the risk of Highlife Fabrics. In the aforementioned cases, the customer will be informed immediately that the delivery is not possible and any service already rendered will be reimbursed immediately.

Prices and shipping costs:

(1) All prices include the applicable statutory value added tax.

(2) The respective shipping costs shall be borne by the customer and shall be shown separately.

(1) The purchase price is due immediately after conclusion of the contract and can be paid using the payment methods offered by Highlife Fabrics.

(2) While the buyer is in default of payment, he is responsible for any negligence and is also liable for the accidental loss or deterioration of the service, unless the damage would have occurred even if payment had been made on time.

(3) The assertion of further claims for damages is not excluded by this provision. In particular, Highlife Fabrics reserves the right to demand compensation from the buyer for fees charged by third parties due to chargebacks, with the addition of a reasonable processing fee

Reservation of ownership:

The delivered goods remain the property of Highlife Fabrics until all claims have been paid in full. The purchaser is obliged to treat the purchased goods with care as long as ownership has not yet been transferred to him.

The customer only has the right to offset if his counterclaims are undisputed by Highlife Fabrics or have been legally established. The customer is only authorized to exercise a right of retention insofar as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship. 

§8 Warranty

(1) If the ordered goods are defective at the time of transfer of risk and are therefore no longer suitable for the use stipulated in the contract, the customer shall initially have the right within the statutory warranty period to choose between rectification of the defect by repair/rework or delivery of new goods.

(2) If the cure fails, which is usually the case after an unsuccessful second attempt, the customer is entitled to demand a reduction of the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract or to demand compensation. If the customer has unsuccessfully set Highlife Fabrics a reasonable deadline for cure, he can demand compensation instead of performance or reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the following provisions.

(3) If the customer has purchased as a consumer, his statutory warranty claims in the event of defects in the purchase of new goods shall expire within two years of the transfer of risk.

(4) If the purchaser is an entrepreneur, claims for defects expire 12 months after the goods supplied by Highlife Fabrics have been delivered to the customer. The warranty is excluded for the sale of used goods.

The seller is not liable for color deviations between the photos on the Internet and the delivered goods. Customary color deviations and deviations in the structure of the goods between the delivered sample and the delivered goods or between individual deliveries are unavoidable and do not constitute a defect. 

(1) The Seller shall be liable without limitation in accordance with mandatory statutory liability provisions.

(2) Highlife Fabrics is only liable for damages other than those resulting from injury to life, body and health insofar as we or our vicarious agents are guilty of intentional or grossly negligent action or a culpable breach of an essential contractual obligation. Any further liability for damages is excluded. The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.

(3) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations, the Seller's liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, which as a rule shall not exceed the purchase price of the ordered goods. An essential contractual obligation includes those obligations which make the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the buyer may regularly rely.

(4) The legal statute of limitations shall apply.

(1) German law shall apply. For consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence is not withdrawn (principle of favorability).

(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the business relationships existing with us and the place of jurisdiction shall be our registered office if you are not a consumer but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if your place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is brought. This shall not affect the right to bring an action before a court at another statutory place of jurisdiction.

(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
