The national stores for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic can also be accessed as a Store Version (referred to below as a ‘Store Version’) using a device in Physical Stores in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic which participate in the MARC O’POLO MEMBERS Customer Loyalty Scheme (referred to below as the ‘Customer Loyalty Scheme’) (see section C1.2). The Country Shops are referred to hereinafter jointly as "Online Shop". These GTC also apply to the Customer Loyalty Programme.

1.2 The operator of the Online Shop as well as the Customer Loyalty Programme and your contractual partner is: MARC O'POLO Einzelhandels GmbH, Hofgartenstraße 1, D-83071 Stephanskirchen, Germany, entered in the Commercial Register of the Local Court of Traunstein under HRB 6720, represented by the managing directors: Maximilian Böck and Markus Staude-Skowronek, VAT ID No.: DE131177357 (hereinafter "MARC O’POLO" or "we").

1.3 The provisions in this Part A and in Part B ("General Terms and Conditions (with consumer information) for the MARC O´POLO Online Shop") of these GTC apply to all sales contracts entered into between you as customer and us as operator of the Online Shop at http://www.marc-o-polo.com/ or via the Store Version. In the course of the order process you agree to Parts A and B of the GTC as amended at the time the order is placed.

1.4 The provisions in this Part A and in Part C ("General Terms and Conditions for Participation in MARC O'POLO MEMBERS") apply to participants in the Customer Loyalty Programme. Participants in the Customer Loyalty Programme agree to Parts A and C of these GTC as part of their registration for the Customer Loyalty Programme (see Part C1.1).

1.5 Customer accounts in the national stores for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic form part of the Customer Loyalty Scheme (see section C2.3). If you are logged into your customer account in the Country Shop Germany when you complete an order process, all provisions of these GTC (Parts A, B and C) apply.

1.6 The offers in the Online Shop and the Customer Loyalty Programme are only aimed at consumers. According to the statutory definition, a consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly neither be attributed to his/her commercial nor his/her self-employed professional activity. If you wish to purchase our goods for commercial purposes, in particular for resale, please contact us personally.

Choice of law, jurisdiction and consumer dispute resolution

2.1 These GTC and the contractual relationship with you are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of substantive uniform law, in particular the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. However, the statutory provisions limiting the choice of law remain unaffected. In particular, Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No. 593/2008 ("Rome I Regulation") applies within its territorial scope: Insofar as the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence at the time of conclusion of the contract (hereinafter referred to as the "law in the country of habitual residence") contains provisions for your protection, from which the law in the country of habitual residence may not be deviated by agreement, the (more favourable) provisions of the law of the country of habitual residence apply to you. You therefore enjoy the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law in the country of habitual residence despite the choice of law pursuant to sentence 1.

2.2 The applicable statutory regulations apply to jurisdiction.

Changes to these GTC

MARC O'POLO reserves the right to change or amend these GTC with effect for the future, in particular if legal provisions require this or this is necessary to improve processing or prevent misuse. MARC O'POLO will inform you in each case about the change in text form by e-mail or in writing to the address most recently provided by you. The changes are deemed approved unless you object to MARC O'POLO within 6 weeks of receiving such notification. MARC O'POLO will advise you in each individual case of any change to these GTC about the right of objection stated above and the consequences stated above if an objection is not filed. If you file an objection, the contract will be continued subject to the prior terms. In this case, MARC O'POLO has the right to terminate the contractual relationship with immediate effect.

Part B General Terms and Conditions (with consumer information) for the MARC O’POLO Online Shop

Scope of application, conclusion of contract, delivery restrictions

1.1 The provision in this Part B of these GTC regulate the details of the contractual relationship and at the same time contain important consumer information in the legally applicable version.

There is no right to the conclusion of a contract; we are free to reject contract offers.

2.2 After sending the order, you will receive an automatically generated e-mail order confirmation, which does not represent an acceptance of the offer, but merely documents that the order has been received by MARC O'POLO. We declare the acceptance of the contract within the acceptance period in accordance with clause 2.1 by a separate e-mail as soon as the goods leave our warehouse (dispatch and contract confirmation).

2.3 If your order comprises several items, the contract is only concluded for those items which are expressly listed in our dispatch and contract confirmation.

2.4 The above also applies if you, due to the payment method chosen by you, have already paid the purchase price or authorised payment before conclusion of the contract. Should the contract not be concluded for any reason, we will inform you by e-mail (in the case of partial acceptance of the contract, together with the dispatch and contract confirmation for the deliverable items) and refund the advance payment.

2.5 Your statutory right of withdrawal (see Section 6.) remains unaffected by the above provisions.

If several languages are listed above for one country, you can choose between these languages on the website, and the website will then be displayed in the language chosen by you. The language in which the contract is concluded is in this case the language chosen by you when you place your order.

The contract text (consisting of order GTC and dispatch and contract confirmation) will be saved by us taking full account of data protection requirements and sent to you by e-mail.

Due to the payment method chosen by you, additional costs may be incurred which are charged to you or us by third parties and over which we have no control (e.g. credit card or bank charges, in particular for foreign accounts). You will be responsible for such costs and may be required to reimburse us for them.

If payment is made on account, the purchase price is due upon receipt of the invoice. You are obliged to pay the invoice amount within 14 days after receipt of the invoice.

4.3 Until full payment of the invoice amount (final and unconditional crediting of the amount including additional costs), the delivered goods remain the property of MARC O‘POLO.

Delivery and passing of risk

5.1 The goods are delivered to the agreed address (for delivery options and shipping costs, see clause 3.2) in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, i.e. we bear the risk of loss of or damage to the goods in transit to you.

5.2 The regular delivery times with regard to the individual countries are set forth - subject to deviating information in the Online Shop - in the table in accordance with clause 3.2. Delivery times stated by us are subject to conclusion of the contract and the complete payment of the purchase price (except in the case of purchase on account and cash on delivery, if available in each case).

5.3 If we are unable to comply with a binding delivery period for reasons for which we are not responsible (e.g. due to a lack of supply from our suppliers or force majeure), we will inform you of this without undue delay, if necessary specifying the new expected delivery period. If the new delivery period is unacceptable to you or if the goods are also not available within the new delivery period or are no longer available at all, both contractual parties are entitled to withdraw from the contract in respect of the goods concerned; in this case we will reimburse any consideration already paid without undue delay. The statutory rights of the contractual parties remain unaffected by this.

5.4 If no person authorised to receive the goods is found at the delivery address specified by you during the usual delivery times, the transport company used by us will leave or send you written notification with additional information and instructions, in particular on the date of a new delivery attempt, the possibility of contacting you for the purpose of arranging delivery and/or the location where the goods have been deposited for collection. Any deviating agreements between you and the transport company remain unaffected, but do not establish any liability on our part. Should the delivery of the goods fail despite repeated attempts for reasons for which we are not responsible, we may withdraw from the contract. Any payments already made by you will be refunded to you without undue delay. The legal rights of the contractual parties remain unaffected.

Right of withdrawal for consumers

6.1 Consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal when they enter into distance selling transactions, which we inform you about below in accordance with the statutory model. Paragraph 2 contains a model withdrawal form und paragraph 3 contains clarifications regarding the legal models and supplementary regulations to which we are bound in addition to the statutory right in your favour.

INFORMATION ON THE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons. The withdrawal period is 14 days starting from the date on which you or a third party other than the carrier specified by you have or has taken possession of the goods. To exercise your cancellation right, you must clearly communicate your decision to cancel this contract to us, MARC O’POLO Einzelhandels GmbH, Hofgartenstraße 1, 83071 Stephanskirchen, Germany, by calling 00800 1022 1022 (free service hotline), emailing service@marc-o-polo.com or sending us a letter by post.

You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this, but this is not mandatory. It is sufficient to comply with the withdrawal period if you send the notification of exercising the right of withdrawal before expiry of the withdrawal period.

Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the date on which we receive notice of your withdrawal from this contract for all payments we have received from you, including delivery charges (other than additional charges arising from your choice of a method of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us). We will use the same means of payment for such refund as you used for the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise with you and in no event will you be charged for such refund.
We may refuse reimbursement until we have received the goods back or until you have proved that you have returned the goods, whichever is earlier.
You must return or hand over the goods to us (MARC O‘POLO Online Shop, c/o Arvato SE, Schleefstrasse 507, 44287 Dortmund) without undue delay and in any case within fourteen days of the date on which you notify us of withdrawal from this contract at the latest. This period is deemed to have been observed if you dispatch the goods before expiry of the 14-day period.
Your are liable for any loss in value of the goods only if such loss in value is due to handling of the goods which is not necessary to examine their quality, properties and functionality.

6.2 In accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, we provide you with the following information on the model withdrawal form:

(*) Delete as appropriate

6.3 In addition to the applicable statutory provisions and the above models, the following applies for the sake of clarification or exclusively in your favour:

  • As far as the right of withdrawal is not excluded according to the applicable statutory provisions, you can exercise the right of withdrawal also only with regard to individual goods ordered and delivered together with other goods and keep the goods not affected by this. A withdrawal from the entire contract is not necessary in such cases.

  • In the case of partial deliveries of several goods ordered at the same time, the withdrawal period begins when the last goods are delivered. The same applies if goods are delivered in several partial shipments or pieces. If only one product is delivered, the withdrawal period begins with when this product is delivered. In all cases you can also notify us of withdrawal before the delivery.

  • You can also exercise your right of withdrawal by returning the goods in question to us together with the return form enclosed with the delivery and completed accordingly; separate notification of withdrawal is then not required.

  • The withdrawal period is extended to a total of 30 days, and the return shipment is free of charge for you if you return the goods to us within this period and use the return label provided by us. This is either enclosed with the delivery or can be printed out by you on our logistics partner's website. We will inform you about the specific procedure applicable in your country on our website and by means of an enclosure with the delivery. If you do not comply with the procedure, the statutory withdrawal period of 14 days (see Instructions on the Exercise of the Right of Withdrawal) applies and you bear the direct costs of returning the goods yourself.

Rights of customer in case of defects

7.1 Your rights in the event of material defects and defects of title are governed by the applicable statutory provisions.

7.2 The product descriptions in our Online Shop and, if applicable, more detailed manufacturer specifications and information delivered together with the goods are deemed to be agreements on the quality of the goods. Please take note of such information before you decide to keep the goods.

7.3 We do assume any liability for information regarding quality provided by third parties, in particular by customers in the context of customer reviews published in our Online Shop or on other sales platforms.

7.4 We are only liable for damages in accordance with Section 8.

7.5 Your statutory right of withdrawal (see Section 6.) and rights arising from warranty declarations which may have been made separately or attached to the goods remain unaffected.

Liability for damages

8.1 We are liable for damage in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, unless specified otherwise below.

8.2 In the event of the breach of any obligation - for whatever legal reason - we are only liable for intent and gross negligence. In the case of simple negligence, we are only liable:

  • for damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health and

  • for damage resulting from the breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner regularly relies and may rely); in this case, however, liability is limited to compensation for the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

8.3 The above limitations of liability also apply to breaches of obligations by persons whose fault we are liable for in accordance with statutory provisions. Claims under product liability law remain unaffected in all cases.

8.4 We do not participate in any dispute resolution proceedings before any consumer dispute resolution body.
