3.2 If an offer is made under specific conditions, this will be explicitly mentioned in the offer.

3.3 Each offer is non-binding. Aussie Outfit is entitled to change the offer at any time.

3.4 Each offer includes a complete and as accurate as possible description of the products to enable a correct assessment by the buyer. Images of products are a faithful representation of a product.

When the buyer places an order, they should assess the product, the image, and the description of the product taking into account the above.

3.5 All illustrations and descriptions of a product are indicative and cannot be a reason for compensation or contract termination in case of inaccuracies and/or deviations unless they deviate from the essential product characteristics to such an extent that it is actually a different product than the one the buyer intended to order.

3.6 Each offer that the buyer could reasonably expect, or should have understood, contains an obvious typographical error or an obvious mistake does not have to be honored by Aussie Outfit. The buyer cannot derive any rights from such an error or mistake.

4.1 Subject to the provisions of Article 4.5, a contract is concluded at the time of acceptance of the offer and placement of the order by the buyer in accordance with the specified conditions.

4.2 The agreement is concluded in the English language unless Aussie Outfit offers the terms and further communication in another language through the website. In the latter case, a contract can also be concluded in a language of the buyer's choice, and the buyer can communicate with Aussie Outfit in that language.

If Aussie Outfit has good reasons not to conclude the contract, it is entitled to refuse acceptance or the order or to connect the execution with special conditions.

If such information is not provided to Aussie Outfit in a timely manner, Aussie Outfit has the right to suspend the fulfillment of the contract and/or to charge the buyer for the additional costs incurred due to the delay at the usual rates of Aussie Outfit.

4.7 Aussie Outfit is not liable for damages of any kind arising from the fact that Aussie Outfit relied on incorrect and/or incomplete information from the buyer unless such incorrectness or incompleteness was known to Aussie Outfit.

All favorable and unfavorable differences at the time of arrival, departure, or delivery accrue to the benefit or at the expense of the buyer.

6.5 In the event of a warranty claim, Aussie Outfit will, at its discretion, provide replacement or repair. In the case of a replacement, the buyer agrees to return the replaced item to Aussie Outfit.

6.6 The warranty does not apply if:

  • The buyer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products themselves or had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
  • The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise handled negligently or contrary to Aussie Outfit's instructions and/or handling on the packaging;

7.5 If an order cannot be executed or only partially executed, the buyer will be informed within 30 days of placing the order.

7.6 Aussie Outfit is entitled to deliver the goods in parts, unless agreed otherwise or the partial delivery has no independent value. Aussie Outfit is entitled to invoice the goods delivered in this way separately. Exceeding a deadline does not entitle the buyer to compensation.

7.8 If the specified delivery time is exceeded, the buyer is not entitled to dissolve the contract or compensation, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

7.9 In the event of dissolution in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 of this article, Aussie Outfit will refund the amount paid by the buyer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after dissolution.

A clear and understandable notification that a substitute item will be delivered will be made no later than at the time of delivery.

7.11 The risk of damage and/or loss of products is with Aussie Outfit until the moment of delivery to the buyer or a representative appointed in advance and notified to Aussie Outfit, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

8.2 The buyer is obliged to report any inaccuracies in the specified payment details to Aussie Outfit immediately.

10.3 To the extent that the contractor has already partially fulfilled its obligations under the contract or can fulfill them at the time of force majeure, and the fulfilled or to be fulfilled part has an independent value, the contractor is entitled to invoice the part already fulfilled or to be fulfilled separately. The buyer is obliged to pay this invoice as if it were a separate agreement.

11. Data Protection

11.1 The buyer's (personal) data will be included in a database. These data are primarily used for the execution of the agreement. Upon request, Aussie Outfit may send information about its products, such as newsletters and offers, to the buyer.

11.2 The buyer agrees to the use of electronic communication means. The buyer acknowledges that despite all reasonable security measures taken by Aussie Outfit, electronic communication is not secure and may be intercepted, manipulated, infected, delayed, or misdirected, including by viruses and spam filters.

11.3 Aussie Outfit takes appropriate measures to ensure the confidentiality and secure storage of (personal) data.

11.4 As part of contract performance, (personal) data may also be transferred to countries outside the European Union, for example, to a supplier in China, as otherwise the contract between the buyer and the supplier cannot be executed, and the delivery of the order to the buyer by the supplier cannot take place. However, Aussie Outfit will provide contractual guarantees in this regard.

11.5 The buyer, who is a consumer, has the right to request Aussie Outfit in writing to grant access to the personal data processed by Aussie Outfit and/or (if applicable) to correct, supplement, remove, or block them. A request for inspection and/or correction must be addressed to the management of Aussie Outfit. Upon the buyer's initial request, the registered personal data will be provided, corrected, or removed.

11.6 The personal data of the buyer, who is a consumer, will not be disclosed to third parties unless Aussie Outfit is obliged to do so by or pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, or it is necessary for the execution of the contract.

12. Consumer

12.1 For consumers, prices are stated including VAT, taxes, and shipping costs.

12.2 Before a contract is concluded with a consumer, the text of the terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer (electronically) in such a way that the consumer can easily save it on another durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before concluding the contract where and how the terms and conditions can be viewed electronically and that the terms and conditions can be sent electronically or otherwise to the consumer free of charge upon request.

13.2 During the reflection period, the consumer must handle the product and its packaging with care. The consumer will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether he wants to keep the product.

13.4 If the consumer has not notified within the deadlines mentioned in Articles 13.2 and 13.3 that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, or if he has not returned the product to Aussie Outfit, the purchase is final.

Refunds shall be made using the same payment method that was used for the purchase, unless the consumer expressly agrees to a different payment method and Aussie Outfit accepts this method. A prerequisite for a refund is that the product has already been received by Aussie Outfit or supplier, or conclusive proof of complete return has been provided.

14.3 In the event of damage to the product due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer shall be liable for any depreciation in the value of the product.
