§ 3 Conclusion of contract/contract language/correction of input errors

The presentation of the articles is not a legally binding offer, but an invitation to you to submit a binding offer to us. You can submit this offer in the online shop by placing the desired items in the virtual shopping cart (click on the button "Add to cart" and "Checkout") and sending us the items placed in the shopping cart (click on the button "Buy now"). After receipt of the order in the online shop, you will automatically receive an e-mail documenting your submitted offer (order). This e-mail merely confirms that we have received the order; a contract is not yet concluded.

An effective contract is only concluded when we accept your offer by requesting payment after placing the order, by sending an order confirmation by e-mail or telephone or by delivering the goods within 5 days. When ordering via our online shop, the ordering process comprises a total of four steps. In the first step you select the desired goods. In the second step, you enter your customer data including billing address and, if necessary, a different delivery address. In the third step you choose how you want to pay. In the last step you will first be informed about our General Terms and Conditions, the cancellation policy and the sample cancellation form and then have the opportunity to check all details (e.g. name, address, method of payment, items ordered) once again and correct them if necessary before you send your order to us by clicking on "Buy now".

The contract is concluded in the German / English / French language.

You can correct input errors before sending your order with the technical means provided in the online shop as well as with the usual functions of your keyboard/mouse. You can also cancel the process at any time by closing the browser window. By clicking the "Buy now" button you have submitted a binding offer (order); input errors cannot be corrected afterwards.

§ 8 Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

The legal relationship between Steiff Retail GmbH and you shall be subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the conflict of laws provisions. In the case of consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection of the law of the state in which the consumer has his/her habitual residence, which is granted by mandatory provisions, is not withdrawn.

The place of jurisdiction shall be the court responsible for the registered office of Steiff Retail GmbH, provided that the buyer is a merchant or a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if the customer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, or if his/her place of residence or usual abode is not known at the time the action is filed. The right to also call upon the court at another legal place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.

We prefer to clarify your concerns in direct communication with you and therefore do not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Please contact us directly if you have any questions or problems.
