1) Scope of application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) of the Xanadu Evolution e.K. (hereinafter “Seller”), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded by a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter “Customer”) with the Seller regarding the goods displayed by the Seller in his online shop. Herewith the inclusion of own conditions of the customer is contradicted, unless it is agreed otherwise.
1.2 For contracts for the delivery of digital content, these General Terms and Conditions shall apply mutatis mutandis, unless otherwise expressly agreed.
1.3 These General Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
1.4 These GTC shall apply mutatis mutandis to contracts for the delivery of license keys, unless expressly agreed otherwise. The Seller owes the provision of a license key for the use of the software or content described by him as well as the granting of the contractually agreed rights for the use of the respective software or content. The customer does not acquire any intellectual property rights to the software or content. The respective product description in the seller’s online shop is decisive for the quality of the software or content.
1.5 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly neither be attributed to his commercial nor his self-employed professional activity. Entrepreneur in the sense of these General Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.
1.6 Digital content within the meaning of these GTC is all data that is not on a physical data carrier, which is produced in digital form and made available by the Seller under the granting of certain rights of use regulated more precisely in these GTC.
1.7 Depending on the Seller’s product description, the subject matter of the contract may be both the purchase of goods by way of a one-off delivery and the purchase of goods by way of a permanent delivery (hereinafter referred to as “subscription contract”). In a subscription agreement, the Seller undertakes to supply the Customer with the goods owed under the agreement for the duration of the agreed term of the agreement at the time intervals owed under the agreement.
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller’s online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.
2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller’s online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping basket and completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping basket by clicking the button completing the ordering process. Furthermore, the Customer may also submit the offer to the Seller by telephone or e-mail.
2.3 The Seller may accept the Customer’s offer within five days,
by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
by requesting payment from the customer after placing his order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the dispatch of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer’s offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 If the payment method “PayPal Express” is selected, the payment shall be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “PayPal”), in accordance with the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or – if the Customer does not have a PayPal account – in accordance with the Terms of Payment without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the Customer selects “PayPal Express” as the method of payment within the framework of the online order process, he shall also place a payment order with PayPal by clicking the button completing the order process. In this case, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer’s offer at the point in time at which the Customer initiates the payment process by clicking the button completing the order process.

In this case, the seller hereby declares acceptance of the customer’s offer at the point in time at which the customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button completing the order process.
2.6 When submitting an offer via the seller’s online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller after conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after sending the customer’s order. The seller shall not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller’s online shop before sending his order, the order data will be archived on the seller’s website and can be retrieved by the customer free of charge via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.
2.7 Prior to binding submission of the order via the seller’s online order form, the customer can recognize possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors may be the zoom function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. Within the framework of the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button completing the ordering process.
2.8 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.9 The order processing and establishment of contact usually take place via e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
4.3 The payment option(s) will be communicated to the customer in the seller’s online shop.
4.4 If prepayment by bank transfer has been agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.

If the direct debit is not honoured due to a lack of sufficient funds in the account or due to the provision of incorrect bank details, or if the customer objects to the direct debit although he is not entitled to do so, the customer shall bear the fees arising from the reversal of the debit entry by the respective credit institution if he is responsible for this.
5) Delivery and dispatch conditions
5.1 Unless otherwise agreed, goods shall be delivered by shipment to the delivery address specified by the customer.
