General Terms and Conditions for Business Customers (B2B Wholesale)
These General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern all business relationships between Style In Parfum (legally: Style In, Inh. Shamsher Ali Khan, Breslauer Str. 8, 41460 Neuss, Germany — “Seller”, “we”, “us”) and its commercial customers (“Buyer”, “you”). These Terms apply exclusively to business customers (Unternehmer) within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB) — i.e. retailers, resellers, and other commercial entities purchasing goods for the purpose of their trade or business. Style In Parfum does not sell to private consumers, and no right of withdrawal under German consumer law (Fernabsatzrecht) applies.
1. Scope (Geltungsbereich)
These Terms apply to all current and future business transactions between the Seller and the Buyer, including offers, orders, deliveries, and any related services, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Any terms and conditions of the Buyer that conflict with or deviate from these Terms are not recognized, unless the Seller has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
2. Contract Formation (Vertragsschluss)
Product listings and prices displayed on the Seller’s website do not constitute a binding offer, but an invitation for the Buyer to place an order (“invitatio ad offerendum”). By submitting an order, the Buyer makes a binding offer to purchase the listed goods. A contract is only concluded once the Seller confirms the order in writing (including by e-mail) or dispatches the goods, whichever occurs first. The Seller reserves the right to reject an order, in whole or in part, without stating reasons — for example, if the goods are unavailable, the minimum order quantity is not met, or the Buyer’s trade account has not been approved.
Access to wholesale pricing and ordering requires an approved trade account. New account applications must include valid company details and tax identification (USt-IdNr / Steuernummer) and a verifiable business delivery address. Account approval is at the Seller’s discretion and is not automatic.
3. Prices and Payment (Preise und Zahlung)
All prices are quoted in Euro (EUR) and are wholesale trade prices, visible only to approved trade account holders. Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices are subject to statutory German value-added tax (Mehrwertsteuer) at the applicable rate.
Payment is due in full at the time the order is placed. Currently, the Seller accepts payment by bank transfer only. Goods are prepared for dispatch only after full payment has been received and confirmed. The Seller reserves the right to change accepted payment methods at any time; any such change will be reflected in the ordering process.
4. Minimum Order Quantity (Mindestbestellmenge)
Wholesale orders are subject to a minimum order quantity of 4 pieces per individual item, with a total minimum order quantity of 24 pieces per order. The Seller reserves the right to reject or adjust orders that do not meet these minimums.
5. Delivery (Lieferung)
The Seller delivers to business customers across the European Union. Orders are typically dispatched within approximately 2 business days following payment confirmation; this is a non-binding estimate and may vary depending on product availability, order volume, and carrier logistics.
Shipping costs are calculated as follows unless otherwise agreed:
- Within Germany: free of charge for orders over €1,000; below this threshold, €15 per 25kg.
- Within the rest of the European Union: €25 per 25kg.
As this is a commercial sale involving dispatch to a location other than the place of performance (Versendungskauf), risk of accidental loss or damage passes to the Buyer as soon as the goods are handed over to the carrier, freight forwarder, or other party designated to carry out the shipment, in accordance with Section 447 BGB.
6. Cancellation (Stornierung)
An order may be cancelled free of charge at any time before an invoice has been issued. Once an invoice has been issued, the order can no longer be cancelled.
7. Retention of Title (Eigentumsvorbehalt)
All delivered goods remain the property of the Seller until full payment of the corresponding invoice has been received. The Buyer is not entitled to pledge the goods or assign them as security prior to full payment. In the event of resale prior to full payment, the Buyer’s claims against its own customers arising from that resale are hereby assigned to the Seller in advance as security, to the extent permitted by law.
8. Complaints and Returns (Reklamationen)
Any complaint regarding a delivery must be reported within 3 days of receipt of the goods. Evidence of the issue — in particular an unboxing video or comparable documentation — is generally required to process a complaint.
For hygiene reasons, and in line with standard practice for cosmetic and fragrance products, returns and exchanges of goods are not accepted, except where the goods are demonstrably defective. This does not affect the Buyer’s statutory warranty rights set out in Section 9 below.
9. Warranty / Liability for Defects (Gewährleistung)
As the Buyer acts as a merchant (Kaufmann) within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB), the Buyer is obliged to inspect the delivered goods immediately upon receipt and to notify the Seller of any obvious defects without undue delay, in accordance with Section 377 HGB. Defects that could not be discovered during a proper inspection must be reported without undue delay after their discovery. If the Buyer fails to give timely notice, the goods are deemed to have been approved, and warranty claims relating to that defect may be excluded, except where the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.
Subject to the notification requirements above, the Buyer’s statutory warranty rights under German law apply, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the parties.
10. Limitation of Liability (Haftungsbeschränkung)
The Seller shall be liable without limitation for damages arising from intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, and for claims under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).
For damages arising from the slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (a “Kardinalpflicht” — an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on which the Buyer may reasonably rely), the Seller’s liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability for slight negligence is excluded.
The above limitations apply equally to the Seller’s employees, representatives, and agents.
11. Final Provisions (Schlussbestimmungen)
These Terms and the entire business relationship between the Seller and the Buyer are governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
Provided the Buyer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with this business relationship is Neuss, Germany, to the extent legally permissible.
Should any individual provision of these Terms be or become invalid, in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the economic intent of the original provision.
Amendments or supplements to these Terms, including this written form clause, must be made in writing (including e-mail) to be effective.
