1. Scope

All our deliveries, services and offers are made exclusively on the basis of the following General Terms and Conditions (GTC) in the version in force at the time of ordering.

By submitting a bid for a purchase, the buyer undertakes to accept the applicable General Terms and Conditions (GTC) or is legally bound by them.

2. Conclusion of the contract

All offers are non-binding, unless they are expressly considered binding. Only your order is a legally binding offer to conclude a purchase contract. It shall not be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee of any kind whatsoever. Illustrations on our website are therefore only binding if they are individual pieces. The conclusion of the contract becomes legally effective upon our written confirmation in writing (also electronically).

2.1 Payment of purchased items

Payments within Austria and the EU are to be made in or in cash before or at the time of delivery of the object of the contract, in our bank account, or in cash, if there is no statement to the contrary expressly authorized by us.

We reserve the right to make partial deliveries or partial services if ordered goods are not in stock, provided that this appears to be advantageous for a quick processing and is reasonable for the customer.

2.3 Default of payment

For payments not received in time for our services or goods, reminder fees of 10% of the invoice amount, but at least 12 euros will be charged. From the second reminder, reminder expenses of 20% of the amount due, but at least 25 euros, will be charged.

If the payment is delayed by our side, default interest of 4% above the current key interest rate of the Austrian National Bank shall also apply.

2.4. Offers

The preparation of the offer in written form for a repair costs € 50,- plus VAT. When the order is placed, the offer costs will be deducted in full. Offers that require photos (such as offers for insurance after accidental damage) cost an additional € 20,- plus VAT.

3.2. The warranty claims do not extend to natural wear and tear and not to damage caused after the transfer of risk by faulty, negligent, improper or improper use or handling.

3.3. The warranty claims also do not cover damage resulting from non-compliance with the instructions for use, improper use, inadequate maintenance or unsuitable care.

Reasonable deviations of dimensions, weight, colour as well as the quality of the wood are reserved, provided that the usability of the purchased item is not impaired. These differences are no reason to complain. The same rules apply to optical deviations as in point 2. Furthermore, the warranty does not include the natural formation of cracks in the wood of stringed instruments, unless these are demonstrably due to production errors or incorrect processing.

3.5. Goods offered and sold by us as “defective” are expressly excluded from any warranty.

3.6. Our instruments and their accessories are evaluated to the best of our knowledge and belief, usually by consulting other expert opinions, both according to age, origin, quality and condition.

a) All goods remain our sole property until full payment has been made.

b) In the event of a breach of contract by the customer, in particular in the event of a delay in payment, we shall be entitled to take back the goods.

In this case, we reserve the right to prohibit the customer from any resale and to take into custody reasonable securities until full payment of the services or goods delivered by us.

The occurrence of unforeseeable obstacles that are not within our sphere of power (natural disasters, damage caused by fire, water, storms, strikes and other unforeseeable events) that go beyond our reasonable duty of care, this also applies to the delay in delivery of our suppliers of materials, raw materials, entitles us to withdraw from the supply contract in part or in whole.
