The Aplus Energy GmbH Store is an online store focused on the selling of all things relating to energy. The online store is operated by Aplus Energy GmbH.

The Aplus Energy GmbH Store is available for our customers as well as for the public. Those who are customers of the Aplus Energy GmbH receive additional discounts. Information about our delivery terms, returns and more can be found below!

1. Terms & Conditions

1.1 These Terms and Conditions ("T&C") apply to all contracts that have as their object the purchase of products between Aplus Energy GmbH, Strassburger Strasse 55, 10405 Berlin, (hereinafter "we", "us" or "our") and you as a customer (hereinafter "you", "your", "your" or "you").

1.2 The product offer in our online store is directed exclusively to consumers with delivery addresses in mainland Germany. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, a consumer is any natural person who enters into the contract for a purpose that can be attributed neither to his commercial nor his independent professional activity (§ 13 BGB).

1.3 Deviating terms and conditions shall not apply, even if we do not separately object to their validity in individual cases.

1.4 For all orders, the German version of these Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively.

2. Conclusion of Contract

2.1 Our offers in the online store are non-binding.

2.2 By placing an order in the online store, you make a binding offer to purchase the relevant product. We can accept the offer until the end of the third working day following the day of the offer.

2.3 We will send you a confirmation of receipt of the offer within 3 days of receipt of the offer, which does not constitute acceptance of the offer. The offer shall only be deemed accepted by us as soon as we declare acceptance to you (by email) or dispatch the products. The purchase contract with you shall only be concluded upon our acceptance.

2.4 You are entitled to revoke the offer and return the products in accordance with the special revocation and return instructions, which are communicated to you in the context of the order on our website and are printed here under item 6.

3. Prices and Payment

3.1 All prices in our online store are gross including the statutory value added tax and are exclusive of any shipping costs and any customs duties.

3.3 Unless expressly agreed otherwise, we only deliver in the online store on the order form specified manner, in each case against invoice. By agreeing to our terms and conditions of purchase, you therefore also agree to the terms and conditions for the use of Shopify Checkout.

3.4 You have no right of set-off or retention, unless the counterclaim is undisputed or legally established.

4. Delivery of goods, partial delivery

4.1 All deadlines for the shipment of the Products specified or otherwise agreed by us at the time of the order shall commence, (a) on the day of receipt of the full purchase price (including VAT and shipping costs). The date of handover of the Products by us to the shipping company shall be decisive for compliance with the shipping date.

4.2 Deadlines specified by us for the shipment of the products are always approximate and may therefore be exceeded by up to two working days. This shall not apply if a fixed shipping date has been agreed. If no deadline or date for shipment is specified or otherwise agreed, shipment within (five) working days shall be deemed agreed. In cases of strikes, official interventions and other hindrances which we could not foresee and for which we are not responsible, the delivery time shall be extended accordingly.

4.3 If you have purchased several separately usable products in one order, we can also send them in several separate deliveries, in which case we will bear the additional shipping costs caused by this, unless the partial deliveries are made at your request. In this case, we will charge shipping costs for each of the partial deliveries. This does not limit the customer's statutory rights with regard to timely and proper delivery.

4.4 If shipped products cannot be delivered to the customer due to failed delivery, the package will be automatically returned and the customer will bear the costs. If the products are not available through no fault of ours or cannot be delivered in time despite timely reordering, we are entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract. We shall immediately notify the customer of the non-availability of the products and, in the event of withdrawal, immediately refund any payments made to us.

4.5 Unless expressly agreed otherwise, we shall determine the appropriate mode of shipment and the transport company at our reasonable discretion.

4.6 We only owe the timely, proper delivery of the products to the transport company and are not responsible for delays caused by the transport company. A shipping time stated by us (period between handover by us to the transport company and delivery to the customer) is therefore non-binding.

5. Right of withdrawal for consumers

5.2 If you make use of your right of withdrawal as a consumer, you must bear the regular costs of return.
