Out-of-court dispute resolution

The EU Commission has created an online platform for dispute resolution (“ODR platform”) that, according to the Commission (status as of 06/01/2016), should be available via http://ec.europa.eu/odr. If the customer is a consumer living in the European Union, this platform can be used to resolve disputes regarding contractual obligations from online contracts out of court. We are obligated to inform you of the existence of this ODR platform and in this context also of our ULTRASONE Just listen GmbH email address: [email protected].

4 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DELIVERY

4.1 Shipping costs are added to the product prices stated. Domestic deliveries within Germany are priced at EUR 4.90 per order. For orders in excess of EUR 70.00, we will post goods within Germany free of shipping costs. The international shipping charges are available under shipping. 4.2 Delivery shall be by dispatch from the warehouse to the delivery address specified by the customer. 4.3 Should the Customer choose advance payment, the goods will be reserved for the Customer upon acceptance of the contract. However, the goods will only be sent after ULTRASONE Just listen GmbH has received payment. The Customer is therefore asked to note this when placing an order and make the agreed advance payment in good time. 4.4 In the case that the Customer chooses advance payment and the amount has not been transferred to the account of ULTRASONE Just listen GmbH within seven days, ULTRASONE Just listen GmbH
may withdraw from the contract. 4.5 The availability of goods and their shipment date will be stated in the order confirmation, which will be sent if the product is not immediately available. 4.6 Deliveries shall always be made while stocks last. If contrary to expectations, a product ordered by the Customer is not available despite prompt disposition, due to reasons for which ULTRASONE is not responsible, ULTRASONE Just listen GmbH will offer the Customer a product of equal quality and value, which the Customer is not obligated to accept, or the opportunity to withdraw from the contract. ULTRASONE Just listen GmbH will inform the customer immediately about this unavailability and, in the event of cancellation, immediately refund any payments already made. 4.7 Liability for damages is excluded if a delivery is delayed or if delivery becomes impossible for reasons caused solely by ULTRASONE Just listen GmbH, and this is not attributable to wilful intent or gross negligence. 4.8 If ULTRASONE Just listen GmbH is not responsible for delayed delivery (force majeure, intentional acts by third parties, etc.) the delivery deadline shall be extended by an adequate period of time. The Customer shall be informed of this immediately. If the reasons of the delay persist for longer than four weeks after the contract formation, each party has the right to withdraw from the contract.
