SECTION 1: Applicable to Online Shop Orders 

I TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ONLINE SHOP ORDERS

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as a provider level421 via our online shop (marketplace). Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms you may have used is contradicted.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly neither be attributed to their commercial nor their self-employed professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

§ 2 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The subject of the contract is the sale of goods. We sell the goods partially or exclusively as a commission agent in our own name for the account of a third party, i.e. for a third party as the owner of the goods. Irrespective of this, we are contractual partners with all rights and obligations. Our offers on the Internet are non-binding and not a binding offer to conclude a contract.

(2) You can submit a binding purchase offer (order) via the online shopping cart system. The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". You can use the corresponding button in the navigation bar to call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time. After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering your personal data as well as the terms of payment and shipping, all order data is then displayed again on the order overview page. Before sending the order, you have the opportunity to check all the information here again, to change it (also via the "back" function of the internet browser) or to cancel the purchase. By sending the order via the button "Order with obligation to pay" submit a binding offer to us. You will first receive an automatic e-mail about the receipt of your order, which does not yet lead to the conclusion of a contract. If you paid via an external payment provider, you will receive this confirmation email from them.

(3) The acceptance of the offer (and thus the conclusion of the contract) takes place within 2 days by confirmation in text form (e.g. e-mail), in which the execution of the order or delivery of the goods is confirmed to you (order confirmation). If you have not received a corresponding message, you are no longer bound to your order. Any services already provided will be reimbursed immediately in this case.

§ 3 Contract period / cancellation of subscription contracts

(1) The subscription contract concluded between you and us has the agreed term. If the contract is not terminated by one of the parties in text form (e.g. e-mail) 4 weeks before the end of the contract (unless another period is stipulated in the respective offer), it is tacitly extended by the agreed basic term. However, if the basic term is more than one year, the contract is only extended by one year at a time.

(2) The right to termination without notice for important reasons remains unaffected.

§ 4 Individually designed goods

(3) We do not check the transmitted data for correctness of content and assume no liability for errors in this respect.

(4) Insofar as we create texts, images, graphics and designs for you as part of the individual design, these are subject to copyright.

Unless otherwise agreed, we grant you an unlimited right to use the copyrighted works created for you.

The direct debit is collected within 3 days for delivery of the goods in Germany, for deliveries abroad within 3 days after conclusion of the contract. The deadline for submitting the pre-notification is reduced to 5 days before the due date. You are obliged to ensure that the account has sufficient funds on the due date. In the event of a returned direct debit due to your fault, you must bear the bank charges incurred. We reserve the right to exclude the payment methods SEPA core direct debit and/or SEPA company direct debit in individual cases.

§ 6 Right of retention, retention of title

However, if you do not meet your payment obligations properly, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) If the reserved goods are combined and mixed, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the invoice value of the reserved goods to the other processed items at the time of processing.

§ 7 Warranty

(1) The statutory warranty rights apply.

(2) In the case of used items, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods, in deviation from the statutory provisions. The one-year warranty period does not apply to culpably caused damage from injury to life, limb or health and grossly negligent or intentional damage or fraudulent intent on the part of the provider.

(3) If you are an entrepreneur, the following applies in deviation from paragraph 1:

a) Only our own information and the manufacturer's product description are deemed to be agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.

b) You are obliged to examine the goods immediately and with due care for deviations in quality and quantity and to notify us in writing of obvious defects within 7 days of receipt of the goods; timely dispatch is sufficient to meet the deadline. This also applies to hidden defects found later upon discovery. In the event of a breach of the obligation to examine and give notice of defects, the assertion of warranty claims is excluded.

c) In the event of defects, we shall provide a warranty, at our discretion, by rectification or replacement delivery. If the elimination of the defect fails, you can either demand a price reduction or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects is deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless something else arises from the nature of the item or the defect or the other circumstances. In the case of rectification, we do not have to bear the increased costs that arise from transporting the goods to a location other than the place of performance if the transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

d) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortened warranty period does not apply to culpably caused damage from injury to life, limb or health and grossly negligent or intentional damage or fraudulent intent.

Furthermore, we are liable without restriction in all cases of intent and gross negligence, in the case of fraudulent concealment of a defect, in the case of assumption of the guarantee for the condition of the object of purchase and in all other cases regulated by law.

(2) Liability for defects within the framework of the statutory warranty is based on the relevant regulation in our customer information for online shop orders (Part II) and general terms and conditions for online shop orders (Part I).

(3) If essential contractual obligations are affected, our liability for slight negligence is limited to the foreseeable damage that is typical for the contract. Essential contractual obligations are essential obligations that arise from the nature of the contract and the violation of which would jeopardize the achievement of the purpose of the contract as well as obligations that the contract imposes on us according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance you can regularly rely.

(4) In the event of a breach of insignificant contractual obligations, liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty is excluded.

(3.- Contract of Use/Access Providing Contract) and the contract for the maintenance of the hardware (4.- Maintenance Contract)

(4) Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms and conditions, even if known, are not part of the contract unless their validity is expressly agreed to in writing.

§ 2 Subject of the contract

(1) The subject matter of the purchase contract are hardware components (hereafter hardware) that are described and specified in more detail in our offers (online or offline).

(2) The total purchase price including VAT is due on the day of delivery by cash on delivery and is payable immediately without deduction. Deliveries abroad are only made against prepayment. For all deliveries, the customer bears all import costs including local handling costs, taxes and duties.

(3) If the provider does not have the hardware in stock as standard goods (applies to the mobile units), he can demand a down payment of 75% of the sales price.

(4) The conclusion of the contract is subject to the correct and timely delivery to us by our suppliers. This only applies in the event that we are not responsible for the non-delivery, in particular if a congruent hedging transaction is concluded with our supplier. The consideration will be refunded immediately if the customer is based in Germany. International customers will receive a refund with the processing costs deducted.

§ 3 Delivery

(1) A delivery will not take place unless it has been explicitly agreed. The customer must pick up the goods at the Provider's place of business. If the goods are sent by freight or delivery services, the actual costs incurred plus packaging costs will be passed on to the customer.

(2) Agreed delivery dates are to be understood as approximate information. Delays in delivery are due to bottlenecks in parts or individual components that are common in the industry.

(3) The provider advises the customer within the scope of his knowledge. He does not owe any advice on technical requirements and the usability of the components for specific purposes.

(4) The customer will be instructed on the specifics of the system on the day of commissioning. This is done either by telephone, or in person, insofar as he has also booked an installation. Provider reserves the right to minor deviations between the information in the product specification and the actual operation of the installed system.

(5) If the customer has not picked up the goods within 14 days of receipt of notification of the arrival of the goods, the risk of accidental loss passes to the customer. The risk of transporting goods to crisis areas is generally borne by the customer.

§ 4 Right of Withdrawal

(1) In the case of a distance contract, the consumer has the right to revoke his declaration of intent to conclude the contract within two weeks in writing without giving reasons or by returning the item. The provider also adheres to this provision, which applies within the European Union. The period begins at the earliest with receipt of this instruction. The timely dispatch of the cancellation or the item is sufficient to meet the cancellation deadline. The revocation must be sent to the contractual partner mentioned at the beginning.

(2) The right of withdrawal does not apply to the delivery of goods that are made to customer specifications.

If the goods have already left our warehouse, the provider can insist on payment of the full product price. The customer must at least bear the costs incurred for shipping the goods, as well as the costs for payment transactions and the internal process costs incurred by the provider. In the case of refusal of acceptance, the goods must be transported back to the provider at the customer's expense. The customer also bears these costs.

(3) In the event of an effective revocation, the services received by both parties are to be returned and any benefits (e.g. interest) surrendered. If the service received cannot be returned by the customer in whole or in part or can only be returned in a deteriorated condition, the consumer may have to pay compensation. The customer may examine the goods cautiously and carefully. The customer has to bear the loss of value, which leads to the fact that the goods can no longer be sold as "new" due to the use beyond the mere examination.

(4) When exercising the right of withdrawal, the customer is obliged to return the goods if the goods can be sent by parcel. If you exercise your right of revocation, you bear the costs of returning the goods, unless the delivered goods do not correspond to the goods ordered.

(2) If the customer is a consumer, he initially has the choice of whether subsequent performance is to be carried out by means of repairs or a replacement delivery. However, the provider is entitled to refuse the type of supplementary performance chosen if it is only possible with disproportionate costs and the other type of supplementary performance remains without significant disadvantages for the consumer.

(3) If the supplementary performance fails, the customer can demand a reduction in payment or cancellation of the contract, at his own discretion. In the event of only a minor breach of contract, in particular in the case of only minor defects, the customer is not entitled to withdraw from the contract.

(4) Entrepreneurs must notify us in writing of obvious defects within a period of two weeks from receipt of the goods, otherwise the assertion of warranty claims is excluded. Deadline is sufficient for the timely dispatch. The entrepreneur bears the full burden of proof for all prerequisites for a claim, in particular the defect itself, for the time the defect was discovered and for the timeliness of the notice of defects. 

(5) Consumers must inform us in writing of obvious defects within a period of two months after the point at which the non-contractual condition of the goods was determined. The receipt of the notification by us is decisive for keeping the deadline. If the consumer fails to provide this information, the warranty rights expire two months after the defect has been discovered. This does not apply in cases of malice of the seller. The consumer bears the burden of proof for the time at which the defect was discovered. If the consumer was persuaded to buy the goods by incorrect manufacturer statements, he has the burden of proof for his purchase decision. In the case of used goods, the consumer bears the burden of proof that the item is defective.

For entrepreneurs, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. For consumers, the warranty period is two years from delivery of the goods. In the case of used items, the limitation period is one year from delivery of the goods. This does not apply if the customer has not notified us of the defect in good time (Section 4 of this provision

(9) If the customer is an entrepreneur, only the product description of the manufacturer is deemed to be agreed as the quality of the goods. Public statements, promotions or advertising by the manufacturer do not represent any contractual information on the quality of the goods.

(10) If the customer receives defective assembly instructions, we are only obliged to deliver assembly instructions that are free of defects and only if the defect in the assembly instructions prevents proper assembly. English assembly instructions do not constitute a defect.

(11) The customer only receives guarantees from us in the legal sense if the provider is also the manufacturer of the product.

§ 6 Retention of title

(1) The specified system including accessories is subject to the provider's retention of title until the purchase price has been paid in full.

§ 7 Limitation of Liability

(1) In the case of slightly negligent breaches of duty, our liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical, direct average damage depending on the type of goods. This also applies to slightly negligent breaches of duty by our legal representatives or vicarious agents.

§ 9 CE conformity

(1) The systems delivered by the provider are usually systems whose usual place of use is outside the European Union. The systems are usually assembled from different individual components according to customer requirements.

(2) Operation within the European Union is not permitted, since the applicable limit values ​​that are necessary to achieve CE conformity may not be complied with.

(3) If the customer intends to operate within the European Union, he must notify the provider of this. In this case, the latter will provide the customer with sufficient advice on what to do in order to comply with the applicable regulations.

(4) Measures that are necessary to achieve EU conformity can result in a deterioration in performance. The customer must accept this if he insists on CE conformity.

(5) If the customer intends to operate within the European Union, he must notify the provider of this. In this case, the latter will provide the customer with sufficient advice on what to do in order to comply with the applicable regulations.

(6) If the customer nevertheless uses the system within the EU, this occurs without the provider assuming any responsibility.

§ 10 Licensing Obligation

(1) Fees that may be incurred in the respective country of use for the use of systems supplied by the provider must be paid directly to the respective government agency by the operator of the system. In this context, it may be necessary to register the system with the relevant authority for postal and telecommunications.

(2) A corresponding operating license cannot be provided by the provider because, unlike in mobile communications, for example, licenses for bidirectional satellite communication are always awarded directly between the end user and the respective regulatory authority of the respective country in which operation is to take place.

(3) Basically, according to applicable international law, providers can be ordered by a government to deactivate the satellite service if local license fees have not been paid.

(4) There are numerous countries in the EU where operation is license free, depending on the nature and type of the system in question.

(2) The provider reserves the right to increase the price appropriately if cost increases occur after the conclusion of the contract - in particular due to price increases on the part of the suppliers or exchange rate fluctuations.

(3) These will be proven on request. If a price has increased, the provider will inform the contractual partner or client of this before the order is executed.

§ 4 Customer Obligations

(1) The customer may not make any use of the loaned item other than the contractual use.

§ 6 Return of the rented item

(1) The customer is responsible for the proper and prompt return of the hardware provided after the end of the contract.

III) NOTICES TO THE CUSTOMER USING SATELLITE EQUIPMENT

The provider supplies access equipment that allows the customer to access the Internet via geostationary satellites. In the interest of safe operation, the following points must be observed:

(1) Bi-directional satellite connection

With bidirectional satellite communication, data is sent and received via the satellite modem and a special satellite antenna that is also able to send signals. Therefore, terrestrial telephone lines are no longer required. The encoded signals are sent via the geostationary satellite at an altitude of 36,000 km to the ground station in Germany, where they are fed into the upstream provider's Internet backbone after decoding. Due to the bidirectional design, the functional principle is completely independent of the location of the system or existing telephone lines. In the following, technical devices that obey this functional principle are referred to as "system".

(2) Basic safety instructions

The system operates with a high frequency RF head system mounted on the outdoor unit in front of the antenna. This emits high-energy microwave radiation during operation. Special safety regulations therefore apply when handling them. When assembling and dismantling the device, the entire satellite unit must be de-energized. In any case, the customer must also observe the safety instructions given in the manufacturer's manual.

(3) Mounting height

In any case, the customer must ensure during assembly that the minimum height from the floor after assembly is 2 meters. Furthermore, he has to ensure that there are no people in front of the RF Head. The operator must ensure that people cannot accidentally step into the beam in front of the antenna by means of suitable markings during operation.

(4) Lightning protection

When installing the antenna unit, the applicable lightning protection regulations and building construction regulations must be observed in any case.

(5) Airports

The operation of the system in the vicinity of airports, especially in approach lanes, is prohibited.

Section 3: Applicable to Internet Access and Phone via Satellite and Cellular

We do provide information below about its General Terms and Conditions, which apply to every satellite capacity rental contract concluded between a customer and of level421 is concluded. These terms and conditions apply to any Internet and telephone service provided by level421.
