Terms and Conditions of Business

Preliminary Note

We run a German enterprise and are subject to German law. So the terms and conditions of business are written in German language. I.e. the contractual language is German/deutsch, applicable law is german law, place of jurisdiction is München / Munich (Deutschland / Germany).

For details please refer to the German "Geschäftsbedingungen" (= terms and conditions of business). If you use an online translation service for this document, then please be aware that such a translation is not the legally valid description of our terms and conditions of business.

All prices and delivery conditions, as well as statements concerning included taxes, warranty, right of return, and similar information that is published on this website (www.synth-book.com) is valid only for deliveries to Germany. For orders from outside of Germany I can provide only terms that are written in english on this website (www.synth-book.com).

Attention! These terms are valid only if you order from me directly. If you order from a representative or dealer the business terms of the representative or dealer are valid!

Translation of the most important sections of the terms of business (right to return, special designs and warranty conditions):

Prices
All price quotations in the price lists for end consumers are in Euro (€) net; you hav to add the respective national value added tax within the EU, plus packaging and shipping costs - unless otherwise stated. Customers outside the EU have to add packaging and shipping. The national VAT will be drawn by your national customs authority.
All prices are non-binding. The prices valid on the day of invoicing apply. Subject to prior sale, price changes and errors.

Payment
All deliveries are made by advance payment. Delivery against prepayment will only be made when the full invoice amount has been credited to our account without any deductions (including bank charges). Payments by check or bill of exchange are not accepted.

Payment in advance is considered to be a bank transfer to the following account
Account holder: Florian Anwander
IBAN: DE64 7015 0000 0905 1998 16
BIC: SSKMDEMMXXX
Bank: Stadtsparkasse Muenchen

Payment via online payment services such as paypal or similar requires our explicit written consent. We reserve the right to charge the buyer for any fees we incur from such payment services.

The minimum order value is 25.- €. In the case of a lower order value, we will charge an additional 10.- € minimum quantity surcharge as a processing fee for the necessary administrative expenses.

Companies, institutes, etc. known to us can be supplied against invoice with a 30-day payment term, provided we agree to this type of supply. A right to this type of delivery does not exist, we reserve the right to delivery by advance payment in any case. First deliveries, deliveries to private persons or to non-german destinations require always prepayment.

Retention of title
In any case, the delivered goods remain our property until complete fulfillment of our claims (reserved goods). Claims arising from any resale of the goods delivered by us are assigned to us. The customer is authorized to sell the goods belonging to us in the ordinary course of business, but not to pledge or assign them as security. The customer is obliged to inform us immediately of any pledge or other interference by third parties.

Return under the condition of Directive 97/7/EC (distance contracts)
The customer has the right to return the goods within 14 days from the delivery date without any justification. Though the directive applies officially only to buyers living in the European Union I provide this right also to non EU customers. The shipment charges for both direction (from Florian Anwander to the customer and back from the customer to Florian Anwander) are not refunded but have to be payed by the customer (exception: consignments within Germany, for this please refer to the German Geschäftsbedingungen, especially the remarks concerning the Widerrufsrecht).

!!! Excepted from any return are the following articles: custom designs, kits, electronic parts, semiconductors (including integrated circuits), frontpanels, pcbs, special orders, used items like test units or exhibition units, all items that are not in the original conditions (e.g. kits that have already been assembled, used items, dirty items, items with scratches or other mechanical/optical faults, disassembled items, returns with missing add on parts like cables or screws).

Warranty
Florian Anwander Musikelektronik or a representative / authorized dealer warrant the mechanical and electronic components to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of 2 years from the original date of purchase, in accordance with the warranty regulations described below.

The product has to be returned in its original shipping carton, together with a copy of the invoice and possibly the return authorization number (in case that the manufacturer, representative/authorized dealer uses the return authorization procedure). Warranty services will be furnished only if the product is accompanied by a copy of the original retail dealer's invoice. Please contact Florian Anwander Musikelektronik or the representative/authorized dealer before returning the product and ask for the respective returning procedure. Shipments without freight prepaid will not be accepted.

Free inspections and maintenance / repair work are excluded from warranty, especially if caused by improper handling of the product by the user.

Also defects caused by normal wear and tear are exluded from warranty.
