I. Terms and Conditions of TUSH Magazine
These terms and conditions (I.) as well as the corresponding right of cancellation (II.) apply exclusively to customers located within the European Union.
1. Scope of application, contractual Partners
1.1. The following General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to simply as “terms” or “T&C”) apply to all, including future, deliveries and services between the contracting party (buyers and customers are hereinafter jointly referred to as “customer”) and TUSH Magazine, Armin Morbach, Friesenweg 14 / Gleis 7, 22763 Hamburg, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “seller“). The seller is also the provider of the items displayed on the website http://store.tushmagazine.com/.
1.2. Consumer in the sense of these T&C is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor his otherwise professional activity. A business or businessman is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity which acts in its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.
1.3. Our terms apply exclusively. Any of the customer’s terms and conditions that contradict or deviate from these terms shall not be acknowledged or applied unless they have been expressly approved by us in writing. If we process an order, these T&C apply – regardless of our potential knowledge of the customer’s terms and conditions conflicting with or deviating from ours.
1.4. Individual agreements made in individual cases (including collateral agreements, supplements and amendments) shall in any case take precedence over these T&C.
2. Ordering process and conclusion of contract
2.1. The seller offers the items displayed on the website http://store.tushmagazine.com/ for sale. The product descriptions do not constitute a binding offer by the seller but constitute the submission of a binding offer by the customer. The color representation of the articles on the website may vary slightly depending on the internet browser and monitor settings used by the customer.
2.2. The selection of goods, the conclusion of the contract and the execution of the contract are conducted in German or English language.
2.3. The customer can purchase both digital content and physical goods (e.g. print products; cosmetics). For the purposes of these T&C, digital content refers to digital versions of publications (e.g. ePaper and/or eMagazines) that are made available exclusively via download.
2.4. The customer may select the preferred product by either first placing it in the “shopping cart” using the “Add to cart” button and continuing the purchase or by completing the article selection with the “Checkout” button. After entering his personal data and the method of payment desired, the customer can bindingly transmit his order request to the seller by clicking the “Buy” button in the “Check Order” section of the order form. The customer has the possibility to view and change the data given in the order or to cancel the order completely at any time until the order is placed.
2.5. By clicking the button concluding the ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding offer with regard to the articles contained in the shopping cart. The seller can accept the customer’s offer within seven days
– by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
– by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
– by requesting payment from the customer after placing the order.
In the event that several of these alternatives are available, the contract shall come into effect at the time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. If the seller does not accept the customer’s offer within the seven-day period, this shall be deemed as a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent. The period for acceptance of the offer shall start on the day after the client has sent the offer and ends on expiry of the seventh day following the sending of the offer.
2.6. Order processing and contact are also carried out via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct, so that e-mails can be received.
2.7. In the event of circumstances preventing delivery or other circumstances that would prevent the fulfilment of the contract, the seller shall inform the customer by e-mail. A partial delivery will only be made after approval by the customer.
2.8. We also process your personal data to deliver your order and to send you a tracking link with your order. For this purpose, we pass on your data to the responsible parcel service company.
3. Contract language and storage of the text of the contract
3.1. The languages available for the conclusion of the contract are German and English.
3.2. The seller does not store the text of the contract on his system. However, the customer has the possibility to print the contract text before placing the order by using the print function of the browser during the last step of the order. The seller will also send the customer an order confirmation with all order data to the e-mail address provided by him. With the order confirmation, but at the latest upon delivery of the goods, customers who are consumers will receive a copy of the T&C as well as instructions on the right of cancellation and information on shipping costs and terms of delivery and payment.

5. Shipment and delivery

5.3. If the delivery to the customer fails because he has given the delivery address incorrectly or incompletely or cannot be reached at the delivery time, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs for the delivery if the customer exercises his right of cancellation effectively. For the costs of return shipment, if the customer effectively exercises his right of cancellation, the provision made for this purpose in the seller’s revocation instruction shall apply. A renewed attempt at delivery will only be made if the customer bears the costs for the renewed shipment. The renewed shipping costs correspond to the shipping costs agreed upon when the contract was concluded. The seller will inform the customer of the necessary costs for a new delivery by e-mail. A new shipment will only take place after receipt of payment of these costs.
