By astrosofa.com

§1 Scope

(1) The business relationship between Verlag Franz, 8552 Eibiswald 220, Austria (hereinafter referred to as the "provider") and the party placing an order (hereinafter referred to as the "customer") is exclusively subject to the following general terms and conditions in the version in force at the time the order is placed.

(2) These terms and conditions shall apply exclusively. Any differing, conflicting, or additional customer terms are not accepted unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the provider.

§2 Purpose

(1) The purpose of this contract is the preparation and delivery of horoscopes.

(2) The provider creates horoscopes in digital form and delivers them to customers.

(3) A horoscope serves as a guide. Customers are solely responsible for how they use/respond to these predictions. Astrological horoscopes make statements based on the interpretation of astronomical events and constellations of the stars. Their truthfulness cannot be proven empirically. It is therefore an entertainment product and no guarantee of its truthfulness can be given. It is up to each person to judge the quality of the horoscope.

(4) The horoscopes range from 10 to 150 pages in length, depending on the analysis selected. The scope depends on the date of birth and the type of horoscope and can therefore vary. The horoscopes are created individually and are personally based on customer data. An important factor for the accuracy of a birth chart is precise knowledge of the birth time (+/- 5 minutes). The more exactly this time is known to the provider, the more precise the interpretations.

§3 Contract

(1) The product descriptions contained on the provider's website do not constitute binding offers on the part of the provider, but instead serve as the basis for customers to submit binding offers.

(2) Customers can submit offers via the online order form integrated into the provider website. Customers may initially place the products in the virtual shopping cart without any obligation and change their cart before checking out. By clicking Buy Now, customers are making a binding offer to purchase the goods contained in the cart.

(3) The receipt of the order will be confirmed immediately after it is sent. A contract is established only when the provider sends an order confirmation by e-mail or sends the goods/services ordered.

(4) A binding contract may already exist: If you have chosen to pay through PayPal. The contract is established once your PayPal payment is confirmed. If you have chosen to pay through SOFORT Überweisung. The contract is established once payment instruction is confirmed by SOFORT GmbH. (4) Contracts are established only in English.

The debit will take place when the ordered good/service is sent by the provider, but not before the expiry of the advance notice period. If the direct debit is not honored due to insufficient account funds or because incorrect bank details were provided or the customer blocks the direct debit without cause, the customer must bear the fees charged by the bank for the rejected transaction.

Telephone: +49 (511) 897 36 008

E-mail: [email protected]

In the event of an effective cancelation, all goods, services, and payments received by either party must be returned. You are obliged to pay compensation for services provided up until the cancellation if you were notified of this legal consequence prior to submission of your contractual declaration and have expressly agreed that we should make delivery prior to the end of this statutory revocation period. If there is an obligation to pay compensation, this can lead to you still having to fulfil mandatory contractual payment obligations for the period up to the cancelation. Your right to revocation expires prematurely if the contract is fulfilled by both parties at your explicit request before you have exercised your right of revocation. Obligations for reimbursement of payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. For you, the period begins when you send your cancellation notice and, for us, upon receipt of the same.

Exclusion of right of withdrawal:  A right of revocation according to §312g (2) BGB does not apply to contracts for the delivery of goods which are not prefabricated and for the production of which an individual choice or decision by the consumer is required or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer. This exclusion therefore applies to the individually created horoscopes offered by us.
