22.1 The purchase price agreed in the purchase contract ("purchase price").
22.2 The purchase price is in euros and includes the applicable statutory VAT.
22.3 If agreed in the purchase contract, additional delivery and shipping costs are incurred.

D. Final Provisions
25. delivery
25.1 The bags can only be delivered within Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium.
25.2 The bags are delivered to the delivery address provided by the customer.
25.3 If, before the bags are delivered, Fobe finds out that the bag selected by the customer is not available despite a careful check of the stock and for reasons for which Fobe is not responsible, the customer will be informed by e-mail and the customer can get another bag select, whereby in turn Fobe still has to confirm the availability by e-mail. If Fobe has previously accepted the customer's offer to conclude a rental or purchase contract, both the customer and Fobe are entitled to withdraw. Payments made will be refunded immediately.
25.4 The specified delivery dates are approximate; Delivery dates are therefore non-binding unless they are expressly agreed as binding in writing or in text form.
25.5 Two (2) weeks after a non-binding delivery date has been exceeded, the customer can request delivery from Fobe in text form (e.g. by e-mail). After receipt of this request, Fobe is in default, unless Fobe is not responsible for the default.
25.6 If Fobe is unable to act as a result of a Force Majeure Event, i.e. an event that is (a) unforeseeable and (b) beyond Fobe’s control (e.g. mobilization, war, terrorism, riot, natural disaster, epidemic, pandemic, strike or lawful lockout ) is temporarily prevented from delivering the bags, Fobe will immediately inform the customer of this in text form (e.g. by email). In this case, the non-binding delivery date is extended by the duration of this force majeure event. If the delivery is delayed by more than four (4) weeks due to this event of force majeure, each party is entitled to withdraw from the rental or purchase contract. In the event of withdrawal, Fobe will immediately reimburse the customer for any payments already made.
25.7 The delivery of the bags is subject to timely delivery by Fobe's suppliers. If Fobe is not supplied or is not supplied on time by suppliers for reasons for which Fobe is not responsible, although Fobe has concluded a corresponding cover transaction in relation to the bags in good time ("non-delivery"), Fobe will inform the customer of this immediately in text form (e.g. by e-mail). In the event of non-delivery, Fobe is entitled to withdraw from the rental or purchase contract. In the event of withdrawal, Fobe will immediately reimburse the customer for any payments already made.
25.8 In the event of Fobe being in default, the customer's claims for damages against Fobe per calendar day of default are limited as follows:
- (a) In the case of a purchase agreement, up to 0,5% of the net purchase price, but no more than 5% of the net purchase price.
- (b) In the case of a rental agreement to 0,5% of the monthly net usage fee, but no more than 5% of the monthly net usage fee.
The above restrictions do not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of Fobe, bodies, executives, employees or vicarious agents of Fobe.
26. Liability of Fobe
26.1 Fobe is liable (a) if it assumes a guarantee, (b) liability under the Product Liability Act, (c) in cases of intent, fraudulent intent or gross negligence, (d) in the event of injury to life, limb or health and (e) in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, ie such obligations the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the customer regularly relies and may rely.
26.2 In the event of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, however, Fobe's liability is limited to compensation for foreseeable damage that is typical for the contract.
26.3 Furthermore, Fobe's liability is excluded, regardless of the legal basis (contract, tort, indemnification, etc.).
26.4 Insofar as Fobe's liability is limited or excluded according to the above provisions of this clause 26, this also applies to the corresponding personal liability of Fobe's bodies, executives, employees and vicarious agents.
26.5 Number 25.8 remains unaffected.
27. Use of the Site
Fobe expressly points out that the use of web services involves risks. Use of the website is at your own risk. Maintenance work, retrofits or upgrades, errors or "bugs" as well as other causes or circumstances can lead to interruptions or errors in operation. Fobe will immediately eliminate technical faults within the scope of technical possibilities.
28. assignment prohibition
28.1 Claims or rights of the customer against Fobe may not be assigned or pledged without the consent of Fobe, subject to clause 28.2, unless the customer has demonstrated a legitimate interest in the assignment or pledge.
28.2 Clause 28.1 does not apply to payment claims by the customer against Fobe.
29. privacy
Fobe's privacy policy applies. The customer can find this under https://fobe.me/datenschutz.
30. Changes to the Terms and Conditions
30.1 Fobe is entitled to make changes to the GTC in accordance with the following provisions of this clause 30.
30.2 Fobe can change the GTC at any time, provided that the changes are to the advantage of the customer or are reasonable for the customer, taking into account the interests of the customer and Fobe. Fobe will notify the customer of the changes in writing (e.g. by e-mail) in advance within a period of 30 days. The changes are considered approved if the customer does not object to them within 14 days after receipt of the notification. The customer must declare his objection to Fobe in text form (e.g. by e-mail). Fobe will inform the customer of this legal consequence separately in the notification.
30.3 If the customer objects to the changes, the GTC shall continue to apply unchanged. In this case, however, Fobe has the right to extraordinarily terminate the contract with a notice period of one (1) month.
31. Online dispute resolution and consumer arbitration board
31.1 The European Commission offers a platform for online dispute resolution, which can be found under http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
31.2 Fobe is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute settlement procedures before a consumer arbitration board under the Consumer Dispute Settlement Act (VSBG).
32. Applicable Law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention. However, if the law of the country in which the customer has his habitual residence grants mandatory consumer protection rights that apply to the customer and are more favorable than German law, these consumer protection rights, which are more favorable for the customer, remain applicable.
33. Final provisions
Should one or more provisions of the General Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
