The inclusion of the Client’s own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated.
These Terms and Conditions shall also apply to the user of the Seller's website.

1.3 A consumer pursuant to these GTC is every natural person who enters into a transaction primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

1.4 Entrepreneurs are natural or legal persons or companies with legal capacity for which the present contract is part of the business of their company. Companies are all long-term organizations of self-employed economic activity, even if they are not intended to make a profit.

2) Conclusion of the Contract

2.1 The product descriptions in the Seller’s online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but merely serve the purpose of submitting a binding offer by the Client.

2.2 Your order on www.biogena-usa.com represents an offer to Biogena to conclude a purchase contract. The order is placed by clicking the checkbox "I have read and accepted the General terms and conditions of your shop." and clicking the button "Send order". Biogena saves the contract text and sends you an order confirmation by e-mail. The Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the virtual basket.

2.3 The contract of sale is not concluded until Biogena accepts the offer which gives rise to a claim to delivery of the goods. The order confirmation sent automatically by Biogena does not yet represent an acceptance of your offer. The acceptance of the offer is rather made by sending the confirmation of dispatch to the email address you have given us.

Should the seller not accept the Client’s offer within a period of five days, this shall be deemed as rejecting the offer with the effect that the Client is no longer bound by his statement of intent.

2.4 Billing is in United States dollars (USD). Sales are only made in normal household quantities and only to adults, i.e. persons who have reached the age of 18. You confirm that your age information is correct. You may not pass on the password required for ordering to third parties. If you pass them on, you are also responsible for the third party's orders. You will be responsible for any orders with your password and any resulting claims.

Because of the nature of the World Wide Web, Biogena cannot prohibit minors from visiting this site. Biogena must rely on parents, guardians and those responsible for supervising children and teenagers to decide which materials are appropriate for such children and teenagers to view and/or purchase. Biogena requires that (i) all purchases on the site be made by adults 18 years of age or older, and (ii) all users who provide personal information to Biogena be 18 years of age or older.

2.5 The contract’s content will be stored by the Seller and will be sent to the Client in writing including these Terms and Conditions and Client Information (for example via e-mail, fax or letter) after the Client has submitted his order. In addition, the contract’s content will be stored on the Seller’s website and can be found by the Client in the customer login via the password-protected customer account, provided the Client has created a customer account in the online shop prior to submitting his order.

2.6 The Client can correct all the data entered via the usual keyboard and mouse function prior to submitting his binding order. In addition, prior to submitting the order, all data entered will be displayed in a confirmation window and can be corrected here as well, via the usual keyboard and mouse function.

2.7 The English language is exclusively available for the conclusion of the contract.

You shall only be liable for any loss in value of the goods if such loss in value is due to handling of the goods which is not necessary for checking the nature, properties and functioning of the goods.

Hidden defects must be reported to us in writing within a period of one week after discovery. Timely dispatch is sufficient to meet the deadline. The full burden of proof for all claim prerequisites, in particular for the defect itself, for the time of detection of the defect and for the timeliness of the notice of defect, lies with the entrepreneur.
