1) Scope
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of YANG HENGSHENG LOGISTICS LTD. // kovaloes.shop (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded between a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") and the Seller regarding the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed.
1.3 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
2) Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve for the submission of 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 cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.3 The Seller can 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 email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive, or
- delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or
- requesting payment from the Customer after they have placed their order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the Customer sends the offer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is considered a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.
2.4 When selecting a payment method offered by PayPal, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal user agreement, viewable at https://www.paypal.com
2.5 When selecting the payment method "Amazon Payments", payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, viewable at https://payments.amazon.de
2.6 When submitting an offer via the Seller's online order form, the contract text is stored by the Seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the Customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the Customer has sent their order. The Seller does not make the contract text accessible beyond this.
2.7 Before submitting a binding order via the Seller's online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the browser's zoom function, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The Customer can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.8 The German language is exclusively available for the conclusion of the contract.
2.9 Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the email address provided by them for order processing is correct, so that emails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the Customer must ensure that all emails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller for order processing can be delivered.
3) Right of Withdrawal
3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller's cancellation policy.
4) Prices and Payment Terms
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include the statutory value-added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be specified separately in the respective product description.
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for money transfers by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also arise in relation to money transfers 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 is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract, unless the parties have agreed on a later due date.
4.5 If a payment method offered via the payment service "PayPal" is selected, payment processing is carried out via PayPal, whereby PayPal may also use the services of third-party payment service providers. If the Seller also offers payment methods via PayPal for which it makes advance payments to the Customer (e.g. purchase on account or installment payment), it assigns its payment claim to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the Customer. Before accepting the Seller's assignment declaration, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal carries out a credit check using the transmitted customer data. The Seller reserves the right to refuse the selected payment method to the Customer in the event of a negative credit check result. If the selected payment method is approved, the Customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or in the agreed payment intervals. In this case, the Customer can only make payments to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal with debt-discharging effect. However, even in the event of an assignment of claims, the Seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g. regarding the goods, delivery time, shipment, returns, complaints, declarations and sending of withdrawals, or credit notes.
4.6 If the payment method "SOFORT" is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter "SOFORT"). In order to be able to pay the invoice amount via "SOFORT", the Customer must have an online banking account activated for participation in "SOFORT", identify themselves accordingly during the payment process and confirm the payment instruction to "SOFORT". The payment transaction is then carried out immediately by "SOFORT" and the Customer's bank account is debited. Further information on the payment method "SOFORT" can be found on the Internet at https://www.klarna.com
4.7 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Shopify Payments" is selected, payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Stripe"). The individual payment methods offered via Shopify Payments will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller's online shop. Stripe may use other payment services for payment processing, for which special payment conditions may apply, to which the Customer may be separately informed. Further information on "Shopify Payments" can be found on the Internet at https://www.shopify.com
4.8 If a payment method offered via the payment service "Klarna" is selected, payment processing is carried out by Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter "Klarna"). Further information and Klarna's conditions can be found in the Seller's payment information, which can be viewed at the following internet address:

5) Delivery and Shipping Conditions
5.1 If the Seller offers shipping of goods, delivery will be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address provided by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. For the processing of the transaction, the delivery address specified in the Seller's order processing is decisive. Deviating from this, when selecting the PayPal payment method, the delivery address stored by the Customer with PayPal at the time of payment is decisive.
5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons attributable to the Customer, the Customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Seller as a result. This does not apply to the costs of dispatch if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. For the return costs, in the event of an effective exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Customer, the provisions of the Seller's cancellation policy apply.
5.3 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. If the Customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally only passes to the Customer upon delivery of the goods to the Customer or a person authorized to receive them. Deviating from this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods also passes to the Customer, even for consumers, as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment, if the Customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment and the Seller has not previously named this person or institution to the Customer.
5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This only applies if the non-delivery is not attributable to the Seller and the Seller has concluded a specific hedging transaction with the supplier with due care. The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.
5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
6) Retention of Title
If the Seller makes advance payments, it reserves ownership of the delivered goods until full payment of the purchase price owed.
7) Liability for Defects (Warranty)
7.1 Unless otherwise stated in the following provisions, the provisions of statutory liability for defects apply. Deviating from this, the following applies to contracts for the delivery of goods:
7.2 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur,
- the Seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
- the limitation period for defects for new goods is one year from delivery of the goods;
- rights and claims due to defects are excluded for used goods;
- the limitation period does not begin anew if a replacement delivery is made as part of liability for defects.
7.3 The aforementioned limitations of liability and shortening of deadlines do not apply
- to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the Customer,
- in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
- for goods that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual use and have caused its defectiveness,
- for any existing obligation of the Seller to provide updates for digital products, in contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.
7.4 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any existing right of recourse remain unaffected.
7.5 If the Customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of Section 1 HGB (German Commercial Code), they are subject to the commercial duty to examine and give notice of defects in accordance with Section 377 HGB. If the Customer fails to comply with the reporting obligations regulated therein, the goods are deemed to have been approved.
7.6 If the Customer acts as a consumer, they are asked to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damage to the deliverer and to inform the Seller thereof. Failure to do so has no effect on their statutory or contractual claims for defects.
8) Applicable Law
All legal relationships between the parties are governed by the law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, excluding the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence.
9) Alternative Dispute Resolution
9.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu
This platform serves as a contact point for out-of-court resolution of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts involving a consumer.
9.2 The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
