Terms & Conditions
General Terms and Conditions for the Online Store (Issued: August 2015)
§ 1 Scope and Parties
(1) These General Terms and Conditions, in the version applicable at the time an order is placed, govern the relationship between Daibokai, Japanese Art, Westenbergstraße 22, 48565 Steinfurt, Germany , (the "Seller") and the customer (the "Customer"), and apply to transactions at the Online Store (http://www.daibokai.com), the "Online Store"). When placing an order the Customer can access the General Terms and Conditions via the links in the Online Store or save them on his computer and/or print them out. The General Terms and Conditions that apply to the Customer's order will, however, be sent to him separately, together with the acknowledgment and receipt or contract confirmation.
(2) For any inquiries or complaints, we can be reached during business hours at +49 (0) 2551 7994 or by email at info@daibokai.com
§ 2 The Order Process
(1) The Online Store merely constitutes an invitation to the Customer to make an offer to enter into a purchase contract for the goods presented in the Online Store.
(2) The Customer may select items from the Seller's range of goods and collect these in a "Shopping Cart" by clicking on the "Add to Cart" button. By clicking on the button “Confirm Order", the Customer makes an offer to purchase the goods that are in his Shopping Cart (the "Order").
(3) Before placing an Order, the Customer can view and amend the details of his Order at any time by clicking on the "Shopping Cart" link.
(5) After submitting his Order, the Customer will automatically be sent an acknowledgment of receipt by e-mail with a summary of the details of his Order. This automatic acknowledgment of receipt does not constitute acceptance of the Customer’s offer by the Seller; it merely documents the fact that the Seller has received the Customer’s Order.
(6) A binding contract of sale is first concluded when the Seller accepts the Customer’s Order. The Seller is entitled but not obliged to accept the Customer's offer within 7 days from its receipt. The Seller declares its acceptance by sending the Customer a dispatch confirmation by e-mail (also referred to as the "Contract Confirmation").
(7) If several items are included in an Order, a contract is only concluded in respect of the items expressly mentioned in the Contract Confirmation.
(8) The aforegoing also applies where, due to his selected method of payment, the Customer has already paid the purchase price or given payment instructions before the conclusion of the contract. If for any reason no contract is concluded, the Seller will notify the Customer of this by e-mail (in the case of contractual acceptance in respect of part of the Order, it will do this together with Contract Confirmation in respect of available items), and refund the Customer the pre-payment without delay.
(9) The Customer's statutory right of withdrawal (see § 7) remains unaffected by the preceding provision.
(10) The contract is concluded in English. The Seller will save a copy of the contract wording (consisting of the Order, the General Terms and Conditions and the Contract Confirmation), and forward it to the Customer.
(11) If you order goods which are not published on the Online Store (http://www.daibokai.com) we demand 50 % of the amount of the good before ordering it from Japan or other countries of our suppliers. The other 50 % have to be paid after Daibokai has received the item. Daibokai has the right of property of the ordered item till the complete amount is paid.
§ 3 Delivery, Delivery Times, Availability of Goods
(1) Unless agreed otherwise, the goods will be delivered to the Customer at the delivery address provided. The Seller will notify the Customer of the delivery time, where appropriate, during the order process, and in the dispatch confirmation. Unless otherwise stated, delivery time for standard deliveries will be approximately 2 to 3 business days from the Contract Confirmation. Information on anticipated delivery time is non-binding. Further information about dispatch options, the carriers used and the delivery process may be viewed on the Online Store's information pages.
(2) After the goods have been handed over to the carrier, the Customer will receive an e-mail with a confirmation of dispatch from the Seller and a tracking link allowing him to monitor the delivery status of his Order.
(3) If the Seller is unable for reasons beyond his control to meet a binding delivery deadline (unavailability of goods, for example, due to failure of the Seller's own supplier to deliver or force majeure), it will inform the Customer without delay and, where applicable, specify a new estimated date of delivery. If the new delivery time is unacceptable to the Customer or the goods are also not available within the new delivery time or not available at all, either party will be entitled to rescind the contract in respect of the goods concerned; in this case the Seller will give the Customer a refund for any payment already made. Any statutory rights of the parties will remain unaffected.
§ 4 Prices and Delivery Charges
(1) All of the prices listed on the Seller’s website include the currently applicable statutory value-added tax.
(2) The Seller will notify the Customer, where applicable, of the delivery charges as well as of any additional charges, e.g. for gift wrapping, on the order form immediately before the Order is placed. The Customer will bear the notified delivery charges and any additional charges.
(3) References in the respective offers prices and shipping final Represent include all price components, including all applicable taxes. If the delivery takes place in the non -EU countries, additional duties, taxes or fees to be paid by the customer, not the seller, but to the competent customs and tax authorities. The customer is advised to check the details before the order to the customs and tax authorities .
§ 5 Payment
(1) The Seller only accepts the methods of payment shown during the order process.
(2) To protect itself against the risk of default in payment by the Customer, the Seller reserves the right to exclude certain methods of payment in an individual case.
§ 6 Retention of Title
The goods remain the property of the Seller until the Customer has paid the purchase price in full.
