Even if Macvol refer or reply to a message (for example, a letter, fax, e-mail or similar document) that contains, or refers to, the general terms and conditions of the customer or a third party, such reference or reply will not constitute agreement on Macvol’s part regarding the applicability of such terms and conditions.

3. Quotations, Agreements, Product descriptions

3.1 A quotation or (price) offer, particularly in advertisements or other advertising material, shall not be binding on Macvol and shall qualify only as an invitation to the Customer to place an Order.

3.2 The legal relationship between Macvol and the Customers (the “Contracting Parties”) is solely governed by the written agreement entered into, including these General Terms and Conditions. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, such agreement represents all agreements between the Contracting Parties regarding the subject matter of the agreement. Verbal commitments made by Macvol prior to the conclusion of the agreement are legally non-binding. Any prior verbal agreements between the Contracting Parties are replaced by the written agreement, unless the agreement states in express terms that they are to be applicable and binding.The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the Macvol'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 contract offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Macvol 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 receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or by asking the customer to pay after placing his order. If there are several of the above alternatives, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the above alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer has sent the offer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If Macvol does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
3.3 Macvol shall observe due care in informing the Customer of the figures, measurements, weights, features other information applicable to the Products, but cannot warrant that these shall be free of deviations. Any specifications or samples demonstrated or made available shall be no more than indications of the Products concerned. If the Customer should be able to demonstrate that the Products supplied by Macvol materially deviate from the information provided by Macvol or from the samples, the Customer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement, within a reasonable time after delivery of the Product, to the extent that such a dissolution should be necessary for reason.
3.4 The agreed quality of the products is solely defined by individual agreements made with the customer and the technical specifications in the product data sheets. Any public advertising statements of third parties or Macvol are not part of the agreed quality of the products, unless Macvol entered into a corresponding agreement with the customer. Information on the subject matter of the delivery or service provided by Macvol in the product data sheets (for example, weights, measurements, values in use, load-bearing capacity, tolerances and technical data), as well as depictions of the same (for example, drawings and diagrams/figures), will apply only if the use of such information for the contractually intended purpose requires full and accurate compliance with such information and/or depictions. Such information does not represent guaranteed characteristics, but rather serves to describe or designate the delivery or service. Commercially customary changes and deviations due to legal requirements or that represent technical improvement, as well as the substitution of components for like parts are permissible, provided that they do not limit the contractually intended use and that the customer can reasonably be expected to accept them.
3.5 Macvol does not offer any guarantee or warranty that the products can be used as intended by the customer. It is only the Customer’s responsibility to verify and determine whether the products can be used for the intended purpose.
3.6 In order to operate all features of the Product and have full availability of the Services offered by Macvol, it is necessary that you have private access to a mobile device with the updated Macvol mobile device applications.

4. Prices and Terms of Payment

4.1 All Macvol’s prices are in EUR unless expressly stated otherwise. Insofar as prices are stated in other currency than EUR, then such statement of price is deemed to be based on the EUR equivalent of such price at the date that the price statement was made. Prices include value added tax or any other sales tax (unless otherwise noted). Costs of packing and dispatch, import and export duties and taxes and any other surcharges, levies or taxes imposed or charged in respect of the Products and the transportation thereof shall be for the Customer’s account.

4.2 Prior to delivery, any change of factors having an impact on the prices of Macvol, including but not limited to rates of third parties, currency exchange rates, insurance rates, import and export duties and any other charges payable upon importation or exportation, freight charges and other charges, levies or taxes, may be charged on to Customer by Macvol.

In the event the Customer is considered to be a Consumer, the foregoing in article7.1 shall not apply and the moment of delivery and transfer of risk is the moment that the Consumer has taken receipt of the Products.

5.6 If the Customer should fail to collect the Products it has ordered or should fail to do so promptly, it shall be in default without requiring a written notice of default. In such event Macvol shall be entitled to store the Products for the Customer’s account and risk and to sell these to a third party. The Customer shall remain liable for the purchase price plus the interest and costs (by way of compensation) after the deduction of the net proceeds of such sale to a third party, if any.
