1. Scope
1.1. For the business relationship between Alma Babycare GmbH, Managing Director: Mag. Isabel Zinnagl, Mariahilferstrasse 27/10, 1060 Vienna (hereinafter “Seller”) and the customer (hereinafter “Customer”), the following General Terms and Conditions in force at the time of the order apply exclusively version.
1.2. You can reach our customer service for questions, complaints and objections on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at hello@almababycare.com
1.3. A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot predominantly be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity (§ 13 BGB).
1.4. Differing conditions from the customer will not be recognized unless the seller expressly agrees to their validity.

2. Offers and service descriptions
2.1. The presentation of the products in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather an invitation to place an order. Service descriptions in catalogs or on the seller's websites do not have the character of an assurance or guarantee.
2.2. All offers are valid “while stocks last”, unless otherwise stated for the products. Otherwise, errors remain.

3. Ordering process and conclusion of contract
3.1. The customer can select products from the seller's range without obligation and collect them in a so-called shopping cart using the [add to shopping cart] button. The customer can then proceed to complete the ordering process using the [Continue to checkout] button in the shopping cart.
3.2. Using the [Buy] button, the customer submits a binding request to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. Before submitting the order, the customer can change and view the data at any time. Necessary information is marked with an asterisk (*).
3.3. The seller then sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by email, in which the customer's order is listed again and which the customer can print out using the "Print" function (order confirmation). The automatic confirmation of receipt only documents that the customer's order has been received by the seller and does not constitute acceptance of the application. The purchase contract is only concluded when the seller dispatches, hands over or arranges for the dispatch of the ordered product to the customer within 2 days confirmed to the customer within 2 days with a second email, express order confirmation or sending of the invoice.
3.4. If the seller allows advance payment, the contract is concluded when the bank details and payment request are provided. If the payment is not received by the seller within 10 calendar days of sending the order confirmation despite being due, even after a renewed request, the seller withdraws from the contract with the result that the order is no longer valid and the seller is not obliged to deliver. The order is then completed without any further consequences for the buyer and seller. When paying in advance, the item is reserved for a maximum of 10 calendar days.

4. Returns & Right of Withdrawal

4.1. You have a 7-day right of withdrawal.
4.2. The buyer is entitled to withdraw from the order within 7 working days of receipt of the goods and to return the goods to the seller without giving reasons. This right of withdrawal only applies to consumers within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act and not to entrepreneurs. In the event of a withdrawal, the goods must be returned complete and in their original packaging, in an unused and resalable condition. Custom-made products, such as personalized products or orders made according to customer specifications, or unsealed software, audio or video recordings and printed goods (books, magazines, etc.) are excluded from the right of return and withdrawal. The return shipping costs must be borne by the buyer. The invoice amount to be refunded can be reduced accordingly by the seller if items are impaired by signs of use, damaged or incomplete.
4.3. If the cancellation period is 7 days, Saturday is not considered a working day. The period begins on the day the goods are received by the buyer. To protect the right of withdrawal, it is sufficient to send the declaration of withdrawal in a timely manner (e.g. by letter or email) or the goods to the seller Alma Babycare GmbH.
The cancellation or return must be sent to:
Alma Babycare GmbH
Schulgasse 8
1180 Vienna
hello@almababycare.com
4.4. In the event of an effective withdrawal, the services/use received must be refunded. If the value of the goods has been reduced by the buyer, the buyer is obliged to pay compensation. This does not apply if the deterioration of the item is solely due to checking it as would have been possible in a shop.
Alma Babycare does not cover the return shipping costs for returns or exchanges of goods ordered from the online shop.

5. Prices and shipping costs
5.1. All prices stated on the seller's website include the applicable statutory sales tax.

6.2. If the delivery of the goods fails due to the buyer's fault despite three delivery attempts, the seller can withdraw from the contract. Any payments made will be refunded to the customer immediately.
6.3. If the ordered product is not available because the seller is not supplied with this product by his supplier through no fault of his own, the seller may withdraw from the contract. In this case, the seller will inform the customer immediately and, if necessary, suggest delivery of a comparable product. If no comparable product is available or the customer does not request delivery of a comparable product, the seller will immediately reimburse the customer for any consideration already provided.

7.4. If the due date for payment is determined according to the calendar, the customer is already in default by missing the deadline. In this case, the customer must pay the statutory default interest.
7.5. The customer's obligation to pay default interest does not preclude the seller from claiming further damages due to default.
