3. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. An entrepreneur 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.

5. Legally relevant statements and notifications from the customer regarding the contract (e.g., setting deadlines, defect reports, withdrawal, or reduction) must be made in writing, i.e., in written or text form (e.g., letter, email, fax). Statutory formal requirements and further proofs, especially in case of doubts about the legitimacy of the declarant, remain unaffected.

This also applies if such circumstances occur with suppliers or their sub-suppliers. In this case, the agreed deadlines and dates will be extended accordingly. Elite screens will inform the customer about the occurrence and duration of such obstacles as soon as possible.

In the event of well-founded indications of a payment default risk, Elite screens reserves the right to deliver only after receipt of the purchase price plus shipping costs (advance payment reservation). If Elite screens makes use of the advance payment reservation, Elite screens will promptly inform the customer. In this case, the delivery period begins with payment of the purchase price and shipping costs.

Attention to carrier and receiver:

visible damage and shortages must be noted on shipping document before signing or in some cases the customer should refuse to accept the damaged packages from carrier.

§4. Payment

1. All claims become due upon invoicing. They are payable without any discount, unless otherwise agreed. Invoices are usually issued upon delivery of the goods.

If the customer is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), payment is generally made, as long as it is possible on the respective online shop and/or online marketplace, either by cash on delivery, in advance, by invoice, through PayPal, by credit card, or by debit card payment upon collection. For payments by direct debit (PayPal or credit card), the account is debited upon completion of the order. In the case of payment by invoice, the invoice amount - unless otherwise agreed - is payable within 7 days after receipt of the invoice. The customer automatically enters in delay if, within 14 days after receipt of the invoice, payment is not made on the invoice, without the need for further reminders from Elite Screens.

If the customer is a merchant / entrepreneur / trader, payment is made online or as agreed.

In the event of the customer being in payment-delay, Elite Screens is entitled to demand default interest at a rate of 5%, and for merchants at a rate of 9% above the base rate of the European Central Bank, unless the customer demonstrates a lower loss or Elite Screens proves a higher loss.

If the customer owes Elite Screens multiple payments, Elite Screens is entitled to settle the due debt, regardless of the customer's different allocation instructions, first against the due debt and, among several due debts, against the oldest debt.
