§ 3 Subject matter of the contract and essential characteristics of the products

(1) In our online store is the subject of the contract:

The sale of virtual online tours. The specific digital goods offered can be found on our article pages.

(2) The essential characteristics of the virtual tours can be found in the item description. If the agreed condition of the goods deviates from their usual condition and conditions of use, this will be expressly pointed out in the item description (negative condition agreement). Insofar as the customer has given his express consent to the negative deviation in quality, this defines the subject matter of the contract.

(3) For the sale of virtual tours, the restrictions apparent from the product description or otherwise resulting from the circumstances shall apply, in particular to hardware and/or software requirements for the target environment. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the subject matter of the contract is only the private and commercial use of the products without the right to resell or sublicense.

§ 4 Prices, shipping costs and delivery

(1) The prices listed in the respective offers are total prices and include all price components including all applicable taxes.

(2) The respective purchase price is to be paid before receipt of the access code (advance payment), unless we expressly offer purchase on account. The payment methods available to you are shown under a correspondingly designated button in the online store or in the respective offer. Unless otherwise stated for the individual payment methods, payment claims are due immediately.

(3) In addition to the prices indicated, shipping costs may be incurred for the delivery of products, unless the respective item is indicated as free of shipping costs. The shipping costs will be clearly communicated to you again on the offers, if applicable in the shopping cart system and on the order overview.

(4) All offered products are, unless clearly stated otherwise in the product description, after payment online for 24 hours, after initial entry of the code. Depending on the selected payment method, a manual release of the code may be required. For this we need a processing time of about 1 to 2 business days (after receipt of payment).

§ 5 Right of revocation

As a consumer you have a right of withdrawal. This is governed by our cancellation policy.

§ 6 Liability

(1) Subject to the following exceptions, our liability for contractual breaches of duty and for tortious acts shall be limited to intent or gross negligence.

(2) We shall be liable without limitation for slight negligence in the event of injury to life, limb or health or in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation. If we are in default of performance due to slight negligence, if performance has become impossible or if we have breached an essential contractual obligation, liability for material damage and financial loss resulting therefrom shall be limited to the damage typically foreseeable under the contract. An essential contractual obligation is an obligation the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place, the violation of which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract and the compliance with which you may regularly rely on. This includes, in particular, our duty to act and to perform the contractually owed service, which is described in § 3.

(3) If, when purchasing a good with digital elements or when purchasing digital products (digital content and services), the customer fails to install within a reasonable period of time an update that has been provided to him and about whose availability he has been informed, we shall not be liable for a material defect that is solely attributable to the absence of this update.

(2) Towards entrepreneurs, the warranty period on delivered items is 12 months.

(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item/digital goods or the service provided immediately upon fulfillment of the contract for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will of course have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

§ 9 Final provisions/dispute resolution

(1) German law shall apply. In the case of 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 (favorability principle).

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