1 Scope of application


(1) These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) apply to all contracts concluded between us (Worring Leder GmbH [insert link to the imprint], Lahnstraße 30, 45478 Mülheim an der Ruhr) and our commercially active customers. In addition to the provisions of these GTC, the statutory provisions shall apply.


(2) The customer’s general terms and conditions of contract are hereby rejected.


2 Conclusion of contract


(1) The presentation of the goods in our online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to order (invitatio ad offerendum).


(2) By clicking on the “Order with obligation to pay” button in the last step of the order process, you submit a binding offer to purchase the goods displayed in the order overview. Immediately after submitting your order, you will receive an order confirmation, but this does not constitute acceptance of your contractual offer. A contract between you and us is concluded as soon as we accept your order by a separate e-mail or dispatch the goods.

(3) In the case of orders by e-mail or telephone via a non-binding offer submitted by us, your order constitutes a binding offer. The contract is only concluded when we expressly accept the order by sending an order confirmation by e-mail. The sending of an order confirmation is generally not a declaration of acceptance, but serves exclusively to inform you about the receipt of your order.

3 Prices and terms of payment

(1) Prices are ex warehouse Mülheim an der Ruhr for the account and risk of the Buyer. All invoices are payable after the invoice date.

(2) The deduction of a discount is only permitted if specially agreed. If this has been agreed, the invoices are payable as follows: Within 7 days of the invoice date with a 2% discount, within 14 days of the invoice date strictly net. If the target is exceeded, default occurs without a reminder. Bills of exchange or checks are not accepted.

(3) If the customer defaults on payment, interest shall be charged on the purchase price at a rate of 9 percentage points above the prime rate for the duration of the default. We reserve the right to prove and claim higher damages caused by delay.

4 Delivery and transfer of risk

(1) Deliveries are generally made at the customer’s expense, unless otherwise agreed. An overview of the shipping costs can be found here [link].

(2) The delivery time is approximately 5 working days, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery period begins upon conclusion of the contract.

(3) If the goods are not available at the time of the order, we will inform the customer immediately. If the product is permanently not deliverable, we will not accept the customer’s contract offer, so that no contract will be concluded. If the goods are only temporarily not available, we will also inform the customer immediately.

(4) Force majeure and other circumstances beyond our control that make delivery impossible release us from the execution of this contract. Claims for damages are excluded. In such cases, we are entitled to postpone delivery until the expiry of a reasonable period after the elimination of the impossibility or inability or to release ourselves from our delivery obligations. If the customer disputes the existence of these conditions, he shall bear the burden of proof. If delivery becomes impossible for reasons stated above, both parties have a right of withdrawal three months after exceeding the original delivery date. However, if the customer is in default of acceptance or if the risk has already passed to him, the customer shall remain obliged to provide consideration. In this case, the customer has no right of withdrawal.

(5) The risk passes to the customer when the goods are dispatched, even if partial deliveries are made. If dispatch of the goods is delayed at the customer’s request or due to other circumstances for which we are not responsible, the risk passes to the customer upon notification of readiness for dispatch.

5 Retention of title

(1) We retain title to the purchased and delivered goods until all claims against the customer have been paid in full.

(2) If the goods are processed or transformed by the customer before ownership passes, we shall be deemed the manufacturer within the meaning of Section 950 BGB and acquire ownership of the intermediate or end products. These shall be considered reserved goods.

(3) In the event of a resale of the reserved goods, the customer hereby assigns to us, by way of security, his claims arising from the resale until all our claims against his customers have been satisfied.

(4) As long as the customer duly meets his payment obligations to the seller, he is authorized to collect these claims for the account of the seller. However, we are entitled to notify the purchasers to be named to him on request of the transfer and to issue instructions.

(4) The customer must inform us immediately of any access by third parties to the goods delivered under retention of title or to the assigned claims.

(5) The right of ownership also applies vis-à-vis the carrier to whom the goods are transferred at the request of the customer or at the instigation of the seller.

(4) If the value of the security exceeds our claims against the customer by more than 20%, we shall release securities to which we are entitled to a corresponding extent at the request of the customer and at our discretion.

(5) The customer is obliged to treat the purchased item with care as long as ownership has not yet been transferred to him. In particular, he is obliged to insure them adequately at his own expense against theft, fire and water damage at replacement value. Insurance claims arising in the event of damage shall take the place of the reserved property.

(6) If the customer acts in breach of contract, in particular in the event of non-payment of the purchase price due, we shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract in accordance with the statutory provisions and to demand the return of the goods on the basis of the retention of title and the withdrawal. If the customer does not pay the purchase price, we may only assert these rights if we have previously set the customer a reasonable deadline for payment without success or if setting such a deadline is dispensable according to the statutory provisions.

6 Copyrights


We reserve ownership rights and copyrights to all documents provided to the customer in connection with the order placement, such as calculations, images, samples, etc.. These documents may not be made accessible to third parties unless we give the customer our express written consent.

(3) We do not guarantee that the goods are suitable for the use intended by the customer.

(4) In the event of a justified notice of defects within the deadline, we may, at our discretion and to the exclusion of any other warranty claims of the customer, deliver a replacement or carry out rectification, whereby several rectifications are permissible. If this fails, the customer may demand compensation for the reduced value, unless we declare our willingness to take back the goods.

(5) Complaints about obvious defects that are not received by the seller within 10 days – outside the Federal Republic of Germany 20 days – after delivery of the goods at the place of destination are late and void.

(6) Complaints are only valid if they are made in writing within the specified time and the goods are still in their original condition. A complaint does not exempt the buyer from paying the purchase price. Dimensional complaints will only be recognized if the difference demonstrably exceeds a tolerance of 3% upwards or downwards.

(7) The warranty period is one year.
