(1) Red Wing Berlin accepts liability for legal and material defects in accordance with the legal provisions, in particular §§ 434 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB). The legal warranty period for the sale of new products is two years from the delivery of the product. The warranty period for the sale of used products is one year from the delivery of the product. For all defects of purchased products that become apparent within the period of statutory warranty, you may choose between the statutory rights of subsequent performance, repair/replacement or – if additional legal requirements are met – purchase price reduction, withdrawal or compensation, including compensation for “damages in lieu of performance” and compensation for your futile expenditures.
(2) Because our products are not mass produced, the product(s) you receive may deviate slightly from the depiction and specifications published in our online shop. If you have received products with obvious material or manufacturing defects, including transport damages, please describe the defects in writing and send your complaint immediately to us or an employee of the carrier that shipped the products. If you do not submit your complaint immediately, this will however not affect your legal rights as a consumer. Should you be a merchant, as defined in the German Commercial Code (HGB), you must inform us of defects immediately but no later than one week after receipt of the product(s). With regard to defects that could not be detected within this period despite careful inspection, you must immediately inform us in writing upon detection of such defects.
(3) Additional guarantees for products delivered by Red Wing Berlin may only be assumed, if mentioned explicitly in the order confirmation.
§ 10 Liability
(1) Customer claims for damages are excluded. This does not apply to claims for damages based on the injury of life, body or health or claims based on the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties) as well as claims for other damages based on a willful or grossly negligent breach of duties by Red Wing Berlin, its legal representatives or auxiliary persons. Essential contractual obligations are those that are necessary for achieving the objectives of the contract.
(2) In case Red Wing Berlin breaches essential contractual obligations, Red Wing Berlin will only be liable for the typical and predictable damage if the damage was caused by slight negligence. This does not apply to damages that are based on the injury of life, body or health.
(3) The restrictions pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) above also apply in favour of the legal representatives and auxiliary persons of Red Wing Berlin, if claims are directly asserted against them.
(4) The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.

§ 12 Final provisions
(1) These GTC shall be governed by and interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany without regard to UN sales law. Legal provisions containing restrictions regarding the choice of law and the applicability of binding provisions, in particular regarding the state in which the Customer as a consumer has its ordinarily residency, remain unaffected. Insofar as both parties to this agreement are fully qualified merchants, the court of jurisdiction is the District Court of Berlin-Mitte.
(2) If any part of these GTC is found to be illegal, invalid, incomplete or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining parts of these GTC will c remain unaffected. Instead of invalid provisions or to fill in potential gaps, a valid and appropriate provision, which, as far as legally possible, comes closest to the economic purpose or to the incomplete provision, shall be applicable.
