General Terms and Conditions of helmade.com / madeone GmbH

These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") apply for contracts concluded between helmade.com / madeone GmbH, Cassellastrasse 30-32, 60386 Frankfurt am Main, HRB 103071, represented by its CEO Christian Möhring, ("helmade") and its customers using helmade.com online shop.

The customer must be of legal age. No deviating terms and conditions of the customer shall be recognised.

  1. Definitions

    1. The customer is a consumer if the goal of the order and services cannot be primarily allocated to its commercial or independent professional activities. In contrast, an enterpriser is every natural or legal entity or partnership with legal capacity which is concluding the contract as part of its commercial or independent professional activity.
    2. "Customized products" are those products which are not premanufactured but are tailor-made to the customer's wishes in accordance with their individual selection and/or specification using the configurator ("Design Now" button). The products are individually manufactured upon receipt of the order.
    3. "Non-customized products", however, are pre-manufactured products to which the customer cannot make any individual adjustments, but can select solely from specified parameters (e.g. size).

  2. Product configuration / Conclusion of contract

    1. The customer can select from the products presented in the online shop. Customized products can be individually adapted using the configurator. Once the product is configured, the customer may place it in their shopping cart. The customer may also place non-customized products in their shopping cart immediately and either continue shopping or conclude the order process by going to the check-out.
    2. Pressing the "Buy" button places a binding purchase order for the goods in the shopping cart. Up to this point, the customer may change and view the data at all times. The order can only be placed and transmitted, however, if the customer explicitly accepted these GTCs and incorporated them in their order by clicking the button "I have read these General Terms and Conditions and accept them explicitly".
    3. helmade shall then send the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt to the e-mail address provided by the customer. This confirmation of receipt indicates only that the customer order has been received by helmade and does not represent an acceptance of the order. The contract does not take effect until helmade has issued the declaration of acceptance which is sent with a separate e-mail (order confirmation). helmade can also refuse an order, however, without providing a reason. The customer will be notified in this case as well.
    4. The text of the contract (consisting of the order, GTC, and order confirmation) shall be sent to the customer by helmade on a permanent data carrier (email or paper print-out) ("contract confirmation"). The text of the contract shall be saved in compliance with data protection.
    5. The following language is available for concluding the contract: English.

  3. Creation of a customer profile

    1. The customer can register with helmade by creating a customer profile and storing such information as their billing and delivery addresses. This saves the customer the need to re-enter all of their data with each additional order. If the customer does not wish to do this, they may also place their order as a "Guest" without prior registration.
    2. The customer must provide the requested data completely and truthfully to create a customer profile. They must also choose a secure password which includes both capital and small letters and digits and special characters. The customer must keep the password secret and should change it at regular intervals.
    3. The customer must specify both their email address and password to log on using their customer profile.
    4. The helmade GTCs also apply for every order placed by registered customers in the version which is valid at the time of the order.

  4. Instructions concerning the right of withdrawal regarding customized products

    In accordance with § 312g Para. 2 No. 1 BGB (German Civil Code) the customer has no statutory right of withdrawal for customized products.

  5. Instructions concerning the right of withdrawal regarding non-customized products

    A customer who is a consumer shall be granted a right to revocation for noncustomized products in accordance with § 312g Para. 1 BGB, about which the customer shall be informed in the following. A sample notice of revocation can be found at the end of these GTCs.

    3. Certain manufacturers grant separate manufacturer guarantees for their products, which, however, depend on the specific conditions of each manufacturer. The manufacturer guarantee might become invalid for certain manufacturers if the product has been painted or subsequently processed in any other way.
