Rejection is hereby made to the inclusion of contradictory or additional conditions of the Customer without any exception, unless they have been specifically accepted by the Seller in writing in each individual case.

3.1. Products
3.1.1. The Seller trades in biological, mechanical and chemical pesticides of all types, together with the associated accessories (also in its online shop).
3.1.2. The Seller points out that the product images shown in the print media (catalogues, brochures, etc.) or in the online shop may differ from the actual format of the product (symbol images). Slight optical differences do not represent any deficiencies.
3.1.3. Note according to battery law
Please note, that batteries and rechargeable accumulators may be included in our consignments, and pursuant to the Austrian Federal ‘BattG’ - legislation governing batteries and accumulators - we are therefore statutorily required to indicate the following to Customers: batteries and accumulators may not be disposed of in the household waste (refuse), but that exhausted batteries and accumulators should be returned to the supplier, or deposited with special waste contractors or in municipal waste depots. Exhausted batteries and accumulators contain contaminants, which can negatively affect the ecological environment or human health, when not properly deposited of disposed of. Batteries and accumulators however also contain important raw materials, such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and these can be normally recycled. Customers can therefore return the batteries and accumulators to us, or deposit these in neighbouring facilities (i.e. with retail traders, in municipal waste disposal depots or in our consignment warehouses), free of charge. Returns of exhausted batteries and accumulators to retail traders are sometimes restricted only to the new types, which the retailer usually sells. The symbol of a crossed-through household-waste (refuse) container means, that batteries and accumulators may not be disposed of with the household waste or refuse. Below this symbol are also displayed other symbols meaning: Pb: battery contains lead; Cd: battery contains cadmium; Hg: battery contains mercury.
3.2.Conclusion of the Contract of purchase and sale
The product images shown in the print media (catalogues, brochures, etc.) or in the online shops of the Seller, do not represent any legally binding contractual offer from the Seller, but are merely a non-binding invitation to the Customer to make a legally binding offer of purchase. The Seller will immediately confirm receipt of the offer by the Customer electronically. This does not yet represent acceptance of the purchase offer made by the Customer. The Seller is entitled to reject the acceptance of the order - also with regard to individual products that do not belong together.
If the Seller is not able to complete the order, because the ordered goods are not available, or declines the offer made by the Customer, then the Customer will be notified immediately, at the most within 5 working days from receipt of the order, by e-mail or by telephone. After this term has expired or the ordered goods have been sent within this period, the Customer‘s contract offer is deemed to have been accepted and the contract of purchase and sale is deemed to be binding. A separate confirmation of the order will not be provided before the goods are delivered.
3.3. Order Procedure
3.3.1. The Customer may submit the order or an offer request in writing on the online order form integrated in the online shop (order of offer request also possible by e-mail, fax or telephone). The Customer thus has the option of opening an user account in the online shop by entering his personal data (name, address, e-mail address), as well as a password chosen by himself. In this case, the personal Customer data entered are only saved for the purpose of simpler and faster processing of future order procedures and may be called up by the Customer at any time by entering the e-mail address and the password selected by him. Furthermore, the Customer has the option of purchasing as a guest and entering his data for each order separately. In this case, the Customer data is not stored in the systems of the website online shops for future orders, so that a new data entry is required for each new order. Only the entered personal Customer data will be stored in our internal merchandising system for the purpose of processing the order transaction and can be retrieved by the Customer at any time by calling +43 (0) 4276 3230, or by e-mail query to: office@witasek.com. Further information on the processing of your personal data can be found under Point 10: ‘Data protection and privacy’.
3.3.2. By clicking on the desired product category and sub-category in the online shops, the Customer gets to the presentation of the individual products, assigned to the respective category. By selecting the desired quantity or consignment unit in the field provided for this, as well as clicking on the button ‘add to shopping cart’, the desired quantity is placed in the shopping cart. By clicking on the button ‘continue shopping’ and the desired product category, the Customer again reaches the product offerings and may continue his product selection. By clicking on the button ‘shopping cart’ or ‘edit shopping cart’, the Customer reaches his product selection that may be changed at any time before submitting the order, by changing the quantity of the product or by cancelling the selection by clicking on the ‘X symbol’. By clicking on the button ‘check-out’, the order procedure will be initiated. After registering or logging-in by a Customer, who has already registered or by entering the personally referred data, as well as the billing address and consignment address by a guest buyer, the Customer submits a legally binding offer to conclude a contract of purchase and sale for the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking on the button ‘order subject to payment’ during the final step of the ordering process. Before the binding submission of the order, all entries are shown again in a confirmation window screen whereby the product selection may still be changed. Prior to the legally binding submission of the order, the Customer states explicitly that he agrees to these present GCBs. As soon as the order procedure has been completed, the Customer will be notified about this on an information window. This however does not yet mean, that the offer of purchase by the Customer has been accepted by the Seller.
3.4. The order data are saved by the Seller and can be retrieved by the Customer – as long as he has opened a Customer account in the online shop of the Seller before submitting his order – for a limited period of time (but at least for 6 months) via the password protected Customer account.
3.5. Order processing and making contact take place in the website online shops by e-mail and automatic order processing. The Customer must ensure that the e-mail address specified by him for order processing is accurate, so that the e-mails sent by the Seller to this address can be received. The Customer is to ensure, that all e-mail messages sent by the Seller can be received, in particular when using SPAM filters.
3.6. Conclusion of a contract of purchase and sale for remote sales of goods without involvement of the website online shops
3.6.1. The Customer may also submit a legally binding offer in writing by e-mail, letter, fax or by telephone.

After this term has expired or the ordered goods have been sent within this term, the contract offer by the Customer is deemed to have been accepted and the contract of purchase and sale is deemed to be binding. A separate confirmation of the order will not be provided before the goods are delivered.
The Seller also retains the right of declining orders of individual products that do not belong together.
3.6.3.The Customer must ensure that any e-mail addresses specified by him for order processing is accurate, so that the e-mails sent by the Seller to this address can be received. In particular, the Customer is to ensure, that all e-mail messages sent by the Seller can be received, in particular when using SPAM filters.
The Customer must also ensure that any telephone number indicated by him/her is correct, so that the calls made by the Seller may be properly received.
3.6.4. The Customer has also to ensure that the delivery and billing address are correct, so that the goods and invoices sent by the Seller can be received at that particular postal address. Otherwise, the Seller reserves the right to charge additional costs to Customer, in the event of inadequate or incorrect indication of the delivery or billing address.

5.1. The product offers by the Seller contain both the prices excl. VAT (net prices) as well as incl. the statutory Austrian VAT (gross prices). We reserve the right to change prices due to the raw material situation. The current prices in our web shops apply without exception. For orders with a net merchandise value under EUR 40.00 net (EUR 48.00 gross), the Seller charges a service fee of EUR 3.00 net (EUR 3.60 gross).

5.3. The Seller will accept the following methods of payment:
payment in advance by bank transfer (obligatory for Customers for their first order);

Closer details on various methods of payment are shown in the menu item ‘Payment and Consignment Charges’.

Invoices will be sent by the Seller separately by postal mail or e-mail to the Customer, and these should be paid within 10 days of date of invoice without any deduction.
5.5. In case of late payments – regardless of the debt of the late payments – private Customers and retail traders will be charged arrears’ interest at a rate of 6.0% p.a. over the above the national bank rate, as well as compound interest at the statutory rate. In addition, the Customer is obliged regarding indebted payment arrears to reimburse the Seller first of all for any further additional actual damages, especially also damages that result, because of the non-payment that corresponding higher interest accrues on any credit accounts of the Seller, as well as refund all necessary costs expended by her for the related collection, such as possible lawyers’ fees and costs for debt collection agencies. Regardless of enforcing further rights and claims, the Customer, as a retail trading business, is obliged to pay a flat rate of EUR 40.00 as reimbursement of the collection costs, in accordance with Art. 458 of the Austrian Federal ‘UGB-Unternehmensgesetzbuch’ – Legislation governing corporate entities.

5.6. Rebates off list prices and discounts will only be granted to other enterprises under Point 1.3., on condition of the complete and maturity-date payment of the purchase price.

The foregoing stipulations do not apply to consumers as defined under the statute law.

5.8. The Customer can only exercise a withholding right, as long as it involves claims from the same contractual relationship. If the Customer is a retail trader, then a withholding right is explicitly excluded.
5.9. Settlement is in Euros.

6. Delivery and Consignment Conditions, Acceptance Default, Transfer of Risk
6.1. Delivery of goods occurs by the consignment method of the Seller’s choice by Österreichische Post AG (LLC/Ltd.), DPD, DB Schenker or GLS or by haulage carrier (for bulky goods) to the delivery address indicated by the Customer, in as much as there is no other agreement. The postal address indicated by the Customer in the order is definitive for the processing of ‘online’ orders.
6.2. The delivery period is 3 - 21 working days from receipt of the order – and payment with advance payment –  by the Seller. The Customer will be notified separately about this, if one item is not in stock or cannot be delivered immediately and the delivery time will be extended accordingly.
6.3. The appointed transport company returns the goods to the Seller, if it is not possible to deliver these to the Customer, whereby the Customer must bear the costs of the unsuccessful delivery and return, as well as any storage costs. This does not apply, when the Customer is not responsible for the unsuccessful delivery attempt.
6.4. If the Customer is in default of acceptance, then the Seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract of purchase and sale, after setting a suitable extension and utilise the goods otherwise or insist on fulfilment of the contract of purchase and sale. The Customer must, in addition, reimburse the Seller for the damages caused by the delay, if he is at fault for the default of acceptance. A purchase price, that has already been transferred, will be refunded, less the consignment costs, as well as any amount of damages owing to the Seller.
6.5. If the Customer is a user, then the consignment of the goods takes place at the risk of the Seller. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods is only then transferred to the Customer, as soon the goods are delivered to the Customer or to a third party designated by the carrier. If the Customer is a retail trader, then the consignment of the goods takes place at the risk of the Customer, i.e. the risk of the consignment is born by the Customer.
6.6. The Customer may also collect the ordered goods himself at the head office of the Seller at: Mozartstraße 1, A-9560 Feldkirchen, Carinthia, Austria. If the goods are not ready for immediate collection, then the Customer will be informed by the Seller, when he may collect the goods. If the ordered goods are not collected within 10 working days from the notification of their availability, the consequences of default will occur and the Seller may either withdraw from the contract of purchase and sale after setting an appropriate extension or insist that the contract of purchase and sale be fulfilled. Any damage claims by the Seller by culpable default of acceptance remain unaffected. No consignment charges are applicable for collection by the Customer.

7. Retention of ownership
The delivered goods remain the property of the Seller until payment is completed. The Customer carries the total risk for the retained goods, especially for the danger of destruction, loss or deterioration. At the time of delivery by the Seller the Customer already cedes to the Seller his claims against third parties in lieu of payment, as far as these occur because of the disposal of the goods, until the final payment of his liabilities. The Seller accepts this assignment explicitly. The Customer must name his client at the request of the Seller and notify him on time about the cession. The cession must be made apparent to the purchaser on the company books, delivery notes, invoices, etc. If the Customer is in arrears with his payments to the Seller, then substantial sales revenues of his must be separated out and the Customer only holds/keeps these under the name of the Seller. The Customer is not allowed to pledge or make collateral assignment of the reserved goods. The Customer is to inform the Seller with immediate effect of any pledging, mortgaging or other encroachment upon the rights of the Seller to receive the purchase price, asserted by third parties, and otherwise to provide all necessary information for asserting the ownership rights. In such cases, the goods are therefore to be sent by the Customer upon the first demand of the setter to a certain address to be advised for retention purposes, as a protection against any further pledging or mortgaging of the goods.
Any claims against an underwriter have already been transferred to the Seller under the limits of Art. 15 of the Austrian Federal ‘Versicherungsvertragsgesetz’ – Legislation governing contracts of insurance.
It is agreed that there is no withdrawal from the contract of purchase and sale in the enforcement of the retention of ownership, unless the Seller explicitly states withdrawal from the contract of purchase and sale.
If the Seller exercises his retention of ownership and takes the goods back, a credit note will be issued for the goods taken back under the retention of ownership taking into account an appropriate price reduction for the time of storage and wear and tear. Return consignment of the goods to the Seller is at the expense and risk of the Customer.

8. Liability for Deficiencies
8.1. If there is a deficiency in the purchased items at the time of deliver, the legal provisions apply, with the exception of the deviations for retail traders under Point 8.3.
8.2. The statute of limitations for warranty claims for users is two years from the delivery of the goods to the Customer. The Customer may demand compensation in accordance with Art. 933a of the Austrian Federal ‘ABGB-Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch’ – Civil Law Code, within three years from the notification of the damage and wrongdoer, instead of asserting the warranty claims, if the Seller is responsible for the deficiency.
8.3. The following legal regulations apply differently to retail
traders:
The burden of proof for presenting a deficiency is on the Customer.
The statute of limitations is one year from the transfer of risks. Deficiency claims must be legally enforced within this period in case of other preclusions.
Negligible deficiencies, such as, e.g., optical deviations and variations in the material in size and weight of +/- 10 %, do not in principle justify any deficiency claims.
The Seller has the option of warranty appeals.
The Seller is not liable to reimburse the costs of rectification of the deficiencies (by third parties) initiated by the Customer.
The limitation period does not re-start, when a replacement shipment is made as part of any liability for deficiencies.
8.4. If the Customer is a retail trader in the sense of Art. 1 of the Austrian Federal ‘UGB-Unternehmensgesetzbuch’ – Legislation governing corporate entities, it bears the commercial obligation to investigate and give notice of deficiencies in accordance with Art. 377 of the foregoing ‘UGB’. The Customer is in this case obliged to assert its warranty claims and to complain in writing about any deficiencies immediately after receiving the delivery, at the latest within 5 working days, hidden deficiencies within 3 working days from their detection. The complaint must be justified sufficiently and verified by evidence. If the Customer omits to make notification of the deficiencies in time, the goods shall be deemed as approved.
8.5. When the Customer is a consumer, it is asked to complain to the carrier concerning any obvious transportation loss or damage to goods delivered, and to inform the Seller and/or to inform the Seller in arrears of any hidden transportation damage immediately upon discovery, so that the Seller can claim from its insurance. Should the Customer fail to comply with this stipulation, this will not affect its statutory rights to assert defect claims.
8.6. The above regulations under Point 8.3. and Point 8.4. hereof apply equally, regardless whether claims are submitted because of the deficiency itself from the title of the warranty or restitution in accordance with Art. 933a of the Austrian Federal ‘ABGB-Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch’ – Civil Law Code. The regulations of Point 9 apply to consequential damages arising from the deficiency without exception.
8.7. The warranty does not apply to deficiencies caused by the Customer. This applies especially to incorrect use or storage.
8.8. If the rectification has been made by replacement, the Customer is obliged to return the original goods shipped to the Seller at his costs within 14 days. The return of the deficient goods must take place in accordance with the legal provisions.
8.9. Reclamations based on deficiencies may be submitted to the following address:

9. Liability for loss or damage indemnification
9.1. The Seller is liable without restrictions on any legal basis for loss of life, physical or health injuries, whether on purpose or due to gross negligence, with malice and warranty promises and when the liability takes place in accordance with binding legal regulations, such as the product liability act.
9.2. The following applies for retail traders (deviating in part):
The Seller does not accept without intent any liability for indirect damages, loss of profit, loss of interest, lack of savings, consequential damages and damages from claims by third parties.
By gross negligence, the liability for property damage is limited to the value of the delivered goods.
Proof that the Seller is at fault must be provided by the Customer; reversal of the burden of proof is explicitly excluded.
Indemnity claims must be enforced legally in case of other preclusions, within a year of discovery of the damages or wrongdoer, no later than 10 years from the transfer of risk.
Indemnity claims are excluded hereunder, in so far as permitted by the statute law.

10. Data protection and privacy
The use of personal data (also in the website online shops) is conducted in accordance with the Data Protection Declaration published separately by the Seller on the Home Page of its Website under the title ‘Data Protection’.

11. Applicable Law, Jurisdiction, Contractual Language
11.1. For all disputes between the Seller and the Customer arising from the contractual relationship, including disputes regarding the realisation and/or validity of the contract of purchase and sale, Austrian law applies, except for the UN sales convention and the reference norms of international civil law, as agreed. This applicable law applies to users only to the extent that the protection granted is not revoked by compelling regulations of the law of the state in which the user has his/ her usual place of residence.
11.2. If the Customer is a user, the legal jurisdiction applies. However, if the Customer is a retail trader, legal person of the public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract of purchase and sale is the court responsible for the headquarters of the Seller (9560 Feldkirchen in Carinthia).
11.3. The contractual language is exclusively German.

12. Out-of-court dispute arbitration
12.1. In cases of dispute under contract of purchase and sales, the Seller will accept the arbitration decision of the ‘Internet Ombudsman’ and of the ‘Verein Österreichisches E-Commerce-Gütezeichen’ (Austrian E-Commerce Trust Mark Association) as out-of-court arbitrators, without however waiving regular litigation through the courts:
Internet Ombudsmann
Margaretenstraße 70/2/10
A-1050 Wien
www.ombudsmann.at

In cases of definite complaints, and under the following preconditions, the Internet Ombudsman can be contacted via an enterprise for the conduct of out-of-court arbitrations:
•    when a complaint concerns a contract of purchase and sale for valuable consideration or reward concluded via the internet, or a complaint concerns other E-Commerce queries or the statute law governing internet trading and/or data protection, copyrights or trademark rights (a specific and definite reference to internet use must be apparent).
•    The complainant is a consumer has its residence or domicile in Austria (for users from Germany the European User Centre Germany, www.eu-verbraucher.de is responsible as affiliate).
•    The complaint-opposing respondent (the Seller) has its domicile in a member state of the European Union.
•    No cases of litigation are currently pending before the course in the matter.
•    Attempts have already been undertaken to make contact with the perpetrator of the complaint without success to solve the problem.
•    The Complainant asserts specific rights’ claims on the complaint-opposing respondent or disputes the rights’ claims of the complaint-opposing respondent in the matter.
Details are available on the website of the Internet Ombudsman at: www.ombudsman.at/schlichtung.php concerning the procedure for submitting complaints as well as concerning the course of an arbitration.
12.2. The European Commission also has a website available at: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ for online arbitrations (OS). Consumers have the possibility of using this website for the settlement of their disputes.

13. Miscellaneous
If any of the individual regulations of the following general terms and conditions be legally ineffective, invalid and/or void or become so in the course of their duration, this will not affect the legal effect and validity of the remaining regulations. This does not apply, if the ineffective regulation is one of the main obligations. Instead of the ineffective or missing regulations, the respective legal regulations occur. Waiver of these rights may not be deduced from the fact that the Seller does not exercise some or all of the rights to which he is entitled.
