General Terms and Conditions
between
CNSAC MedShop GmbH, Am Sonnenstuhl 63, D-97236 Randersacker, Germany registered under commercial register No.: HRB 15116, represented by Dr. Arash Kianian, VAT registration No.: DE332512838 – hereinafter „the provider“ –
and
the customer referred to in Section 2 of the contract – hereinafter “the customer”.
§ Section 1 Scope, deinitions
(1) The following General Terms and Conditions exclusively govern the business relationship between the web shop provider (“the provider”) and the customer (hereinafter “the customer”) as amended at the time of orde- ring. Any deviating conditions of the ordering party/customer shall not be acknowledged, unless the provider expressly agrees to the validity thereof in writing.
(2) The customer is a consumer, inasmuch as the purpose of the ordered goods and services in the main
can neither be attributed to his commercial nor his independent professional activity. On the other hand, an entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or legally responsible partnership which is exercising its commercial or independent professional activity on the conclusion of the contract.
§ Section 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The customer can select products from the provider’s range, in particular devices and accessories for the treatment as well as accessories and consumable materials for the medical diagnosis of sleep apnoea, and place these in a so-called shopping basket via the “Add to basket” button. The customer issues a binding request to purchase the goods in the basket via the “Buy/send order” button. Prior to sending the order, the customer can amend and view the data at any time. However, the request can only be issued and transmitted
if the customer has accepted these contract terms by selecting the box “I have read the General Terms and Con- ditions and hereby acknowledge them” and has, as a result, incorporated them in his request.
(2) The provider subsequently sends the customer an automatic acknowledgement of receipt via email, which sets out the details of the customer’s order again and which the customer can print via the “Print” function.
The automatic acknowledgement of receipt simply documents the fact that the provider has received the customer‘s order and does not constitute acceptance of the request. The contract is not brought about until the provider has issued a declaration of acceptance, which is sent with a separate email (conirmation of order). The text of the contract (consisting of the order, General Terms and Conditions and conirmation of order) is sent
by us to the customer on a durable medium (email or hard copy) (conirmation of order) in this email or in a separate email, but at the latest upon delivery of the goods. The text of the contract is stored in full compliance with data protection requirements.
(3) When an order is placed for our services by sending the FAX order form on our website by FAX or by sending the FAX order form by email, the customer has accepted these contract terms by selecting/ticking the box “I have read the General Terms and Conditions and hereby acknowledge them” and has, as a result, incorporated them in his order. The contract is not brought about until the provider has issued a declaration of acceptance, which is sent by means of a separate email or by FAX (conirmation of order) to the customer. The text of the contract (consisting of the order, General Terms and Conditions and conirmation of order) is sent by us to the customer on a durable medium (email or hard copy) (conirmation of order) in this email or this FAX or in a separate email, but at the latest upon delivery of the goods. The text of the contract is stored in full compliance with data protection requirements.
(4) When an order is placed for our services by means of the “Online order” form stored on our website, the online order can only be placed and transmitted once the customer has accepted these contract terms by selecting the box “I have read the General Terms and Conditions and hereby acknowledge them” and has, as
a result, incorporated them in his request/his order. The contract is not brought about until the provider has issued a declaration of acceptance, which is sent with a separate email (conirmation of order). The text of the contract (consisting of the order, General Terms and Conditions and conirmation of order) is sent by us to
the customer on a durable medium (email or hard copy) (conirmation of order) in this email or in a separate email, but at the latest upon delivery of the goods. The text of the contract is stored in full compliance with data protection requirements.
(5) When an order is placed for our services by email to our email address info@cnsac.com, a conirmation email will be sent to costumer including order information and General Terms and Conditions which can be printed by the costumer. The costumer should conirm the receipt of General Terms and Conditions and
order information via email. The contract is not brought about until the provider has issued a declaration of acceptance, which is sent with a separate email (conirmation of order). The text of the contract (consisting of the order, General Terms and Conditions and conirmation of order) is sent by us to the customer on a durable medium (email or hard copy) (conirmation of order) in this email or in a separate email, but at the latest upon delivery of the goods. The text of the contract is stored in full compliance with data protection requirements. (6) By telephone orders, the costumers are always asked to enter a valid email address or FAX number. After acceptance of a telephonic order, an acknowledgement of receipt including order information and General Terms and Conditions will be sent to the costumer via email or FAX, which can be printed by the costumer. The costumer should conirm the receipt of General Terms and Conditions and order information via email or FAX.

The text of the contract is stored in full compliance with data protection requirements
(7) The contract shall in all cases be concluded in German.
§ Section 3 Delivery, availability of goods
(1) Delivery times indicated by us are calculated from the date of our conirmation of order, subject to previous payment of the purchase price (except for purchases on account). If no delivery period is indicated or unless
a diferent delivery period is indicated for the respective goods in our online shop, the delivery period is 4-5 business days.
(2) If, at the time of the customer‘s order, we do not have any of the product selected by him in stock, the pro- vider shall immediately inform the customer of this in the conirmation of order. If the product is permanently out of stock, the provider shall not issue a declaration of acceptance. No contract is brought about in this case. (3) If the product designated by the customer in the order is only temporarily unavailable, the provider shall immediately inform the customer of this as well in the conirmation of order. In the event of a delivery delay
of more than two weeks, the customer has the right to cancel the contract. This shall not afect the customer’s statutory right to cancel (see Section 9 of these contract terms). Incidentally, the provider is also entitled to release itself from the contract in this case. It shall then immediately refund any payments already made by the customer.
§ Section 4 Retention of title
The goods delivered shall remain the property of the provider until they have been paid for in full.
Section 5 Prices and shipping costs
(1) All of the prices indicated on the provider’s website include statutory value-added tax at the prevailing rate. Net prices are only displayed in the basket to entrepreneurs following prior veriication.
(2) The relevant shipping costs are indicated to the customer in the order form and are to be borne by the customer, inasmuch as the customer is not using his right to cancel. The provider shall deliver orders for goods totalling 100.00 EUR or more to customers in Germany and Austria free of shipping costs. For all other coun- tries, the shipping costs shall be individually calculated in our online shop www.cnsac-medshop.com.
(3) The goods shall be dispatched by post. The shipping risk is borne by the provider, if the customer is a consumer.
(4) The customer must bear the direct costs of returning the goods if he chooses to cancel the order.

(4) If the invoice amount is not paid within 14 calendar days from the invoice date or other due date, we shall be entitled to charge interest on arrears in the proven amount, at least 5% above the base interest rate of the European Central Bank (ECB), without the need for a special reminder.
(5) From the 1st reminder we charge a processing fee of 5 €. For the 2nd reminder 10 € and for the 3rd reminder 20 €. (6) Invoices and reminders may be sent by mail or e-mail at our discretion. The customer agrees to receive invoices electronically. Electronic invoices will be sent to the customer by e-mail in PDF format to the e-mail address provided by the customer. At the express request of the customer, the invoice dispatch can also be switched to delivery by mail at any time.
(7) The customer’s obligation to pay default interest does not exclude the possibility of the provider claiming further damages as a result of the delay.
Section 7 Warranty for material defects, guarantee
((1) The provider shall be liable for material defects in pursuance of the prevailing legal provisions regarding this, in particular Sections 434 et seq. of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [German Civil Code (BGB)].

(2) An additional guarantee only exists for the goods supplied by the provider, if this was expressly provided in the conirmation of order regarding the relevant article.
Section 8 Liability
(1) Claims by the customer for damages are excluded. This excludes claims for damages by the customer arising from injury to life, body or health or resulting from the breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal duties) as well as liability for other damages which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the provider, its legal representatives or vicarious agents. Material contractual obligations are those obligations which have to be fulilled in order to achieve the objective of the contract.
(2) In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, the provider shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage which is typical of the contract, if said damage has simply been caused by negligence, unless the claims relate to claims for damages by the customer arising from injury to life, body or health.
(3) The restrictions of Subsections 1 and 2 also apply in favour of the provider’s legal representatives and vicarious agents, if claims are made directly against the latter.
(4) This shall not afect the provisions of the Product Liability Act.
