All supplies, services and offers to customers in accordance with § 13 BGB take place on the basis the version of trading conditions at the time of the order. With placement of an order, the customer agrees to that contractual basis. Deviations from the general trading conditions on the part of the customer are rejected. Changes only become effective if the provider confirms them in writing.

 § 1 Contracting party, Scope

a) Contracting parties in the context of the following general trading conditions are HyperMegaNet GmbH (in the following "PearC"), Winsbergring 42, 22525 Hamburg, Germany and the customer. Further information about communication data and the legal agency of HyperMegaNet GmbH can be found in the information provider identification (imprint).

b) All supplies and services carried out for PearC customers are solely carried out on basis of the general trading conditions written at the time the order was placed. c) Deviations from regulations will be objected to. Regulations other than those contained herein only become effective with express approval of the management (an entitled representative) of PearC (managing director, attorney or authorised signatory) and the respective customer.

 § 2 Contract conclusion

a) The offers of PearC on its internet site represent a non-committal offer to the customers to order items at PearC.

 b) A binding sales contract is established only at the time that goods are ordered by filling in the form on-line or by mailing it. The offer is binding at the latest when it has passed through PearC’s interface. When orders are sent by mail the customer automatically accepts the trading conditions and a legal relationship with the provider. By sending the order the customer agrees to the business conditions of PearC. PearC is not obligated to accept the customer’s offer. The confirmation of the customer’s request does not represent an acceptance of the customer’s offer.

 c) Should the confirmation of the order or any other declaration by PearC contain a typing or misprint error, or should an error in transmission of prices occur, PearC is entitled to an appeal whereby PearC carries the burden of proof. Any payments received may be immediately reimbursed in that case.

 d) PearC is entitled to accept an offer from the customer within seven calendar days by forwarding of an order confirmation or the requested item. The order confirmation is isssued per email. After this period expires the offer is considered rejected.

A two-week revocation right is entitled to the customer if he is a private person not acting in the name of a company. The period of revocation begins at the earliest the day after receipt of the item and the instructions in text form (e.g. by letter, fax or email). To observe the period of revocation, the revocation must be mailed or the item returned punctually. The revocation is to be emailed to info (at) pearc.de or mailed to:

 b) Consequences of Cancellation

In the event that a cancellation is valid, the services received by both parties to the contract are to be returned and if applicable, any benefits derived (e.g. interest) are also to be returned. If the customer is unable to return the services he has received in full, or is only able to return the goods in an impaired condition, the customer must compensate PearC for the difference in value where necessary. This shall not apply if the deterioration in the goods is solely attributable to an inspection of the goods by the other party to the contract as would have been possible had that party purchased the goods in a shop. Moreover, the other party to the contract will not have to compensate PearC for any drop in value of the goods returned if that party has not used the goods as if fully owned and refrains from doing anything detrimental to the value of the goods. Items that can be sent as parcels are to be returned. Items that cannot be returned as parcels will be collected from the customer. The customer shall bear the cost of returning the goods if the goods supplied are those that he or she ordered and the price of the goods to be returned does not exceed 40 Euros, or if the price of the goods exceeds 40 Euros and the customer has not yet rendered the payment or made a contractually arranged partial payment at the point in time at which he or she cancels the order. Otherwise, the customer shall not be required to pay for the return of the goods. The customer must fulfill any obligatory payments to PearC within 30 days of the date of cancellation or the return of the goods.

c.) Returns and refunds 

Because PearC computers are not always returned to us with sufficient care or with all accessories, significant depreciations in value occasionally arise, that we unfortunately must bill to our customer, i.e. deduct the amount from your refund. Following are examples for refunds of returned merchandise:

100% Refund:

• Packaging intact, styrofoam undamaged
• PearC computer free of scratches or dents and fully functional
• Accessories, such as cables, instruction manuals, monitor adapters, etc. are complete and intact

90% Refund:

• Styrofoam, packaging not intact

50-80% Refund:

• PearC is returned with scratches or dents
• Functionality is impaired
• Accessories, such as cables, instruction manuals, monitor adapters, etc. no longer complete or intact

 

 

Special Note:

Your right of revocation expires early if your contracting party (PearC) began the execution of services before the end of revocation period at your express agreement or you specifically forwent it.
If the software or operating system USB-Stick are unwrapped, the right to cancel is annulled. As PearCs are only sold in conjunction with software, PearC charges the full price for the software. Software already opened by the customer is excluded from the refund. 

 § 4 Payment conditions

Shipping expenses (postage and packing) are added separately and will than be included in the item prices. Payment is due once the contract is concluded.

Deductions of transaction fees, for example, those resulting from payment through international banks, are not accepted by PearC

For entrepreneurs the period of limitation is one year for new goods and six months for second-hand products. This reduced period of limitation is not applicable to claims of the customer due to damages arising out of death, injury to body or health, or claims due to a substantial breach of contract obligations.
