Customer Service

General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Scope

The following General Terms and Conditions shall apply to all contracts concluded with The Edge GmbH concerning the acquisition and supply of goods via the online store under the internet address www.speakinggarments.com. The Edge GmbH does not recognise any deviating conditions of the customer unless these have been expressly approved as valid by The Edge GmbH.

§ 2 Prices and Shipping Costs

The prices quoted in the online store include statutory VAT. Every delivery is subject to a shipping fee of Euro 5,50 for deliveries within Germany. Shipping costs for delivery abroad can be found here.

§ 3 Ordering Process and Conclusion of the Contract

  1. Orders for goods may only be placed for normal quantities. Orders for commercial purposes shall not be permitted.
  2. Goods presentation in the online store shall not constitute a legally binding request to conclude a purchasing contract. Rather this presentation is a non-binding invitation to order goods from the online store.
  3. By clicking the “Order Now and Proceed to Payment” (“zahlungspflichtig bestellen”) button you issue a binding request for purchase (§ 145 of the German Civil Code (BGB)). To this end, prior to concluding the ordering process a confirmation window will appear in your display with the details of your order. Here you can check and correct your details once again.
  4. Once the purchase request has been received you will receive an automated mail reply confirming that we have received your order (confirmation of receipt). This confirmation of receipt still does not constitute acceptance of your purchase request. A contract shall not yet come into being merely on the basis of the confirmation of receipt.
  5. A purchasing contract shall only come into being when we expressly declare we accept the purchase request or if we send the goods to you – without any prior express declaration of acceptance.

If we do not accept an order for this reason, because the ordered item is no longer available, we shall inform you of this immediately. Any payments effected shall in this case be reimbursed.

Unless otherwise agreed, your warranty claims shall be determined by the legal provisions of the sales law (§§ 433 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB)).

Until complete payment has been effected the goods remain our property.

§ 10 Dispute Resolution

The European Commission has set up a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR) that you can find here: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are legally bound to state these details. We shall, however, not take part in this kind of dispute resolution.

§ 11 Applicable Law

For all disputes arising or on the basis of this agreement German law shall apply with the exception of the UN sales convention. This choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the consumer is not denied obviously applicable consumer protection provisions of the country the consumer has their usual place of abode in at the time of their order.

Consumers within the EU:

For the out-of-court dispute resolution of consumer law disputes, the Commission of the European Union has set up an online platform ("ODR Platform") which you can access for the purpose of resolving an out-of-court dispute. The platform can be found at "http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/".

We are neither prepared nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.
