These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as GTC) apply to all contracts concluded between C2G Production GmbH (hereinafter referred to as C2G Production) and the customer. Upon conclusion of the contract, the customer accepts these GTC as binding, regardless of whether the customer actually takes note of them. The GTC take precedence over any terms and conditions of the customer. Conflicting terms and conditions of the customer shall not become part of the contract, even without express objection, unless C2G Production agrees to these in text form in individual cases.
(2) The provisions of these GTC shall only apply if the customer is an entrepreneur pursuant to § 14 BGB.
(3) The General Terms and Conditions in the version valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract shall apply.
(4) Additions or amendments to these GTC must be made in writing in accordance with § 126b of the German Civil Code (BGB) in order to be legally effective.

§ 2 Conclusion of Contract; Reservation of Right to Amend
(1) C2G Production informs the customer by telephone or in text form about current services. This contact is not a binding offer to conclude a contract (hereinafter referred to as advertising). The customer is requested by the advertised products to submit an offer to conclude a contract with C2G Production by placing an order.
(2) In the case of § 2 para. 1, the customer submits an offer in text form to C2G Production for the conclusion of a contract. If an order form was provided in the advertisement, the customer may use it to submit the offer. The submission of the offer by the customer is binding. On § 5 para. 2 is expressly referred to.
(3) If the customer makes an inquiry about a product without this having been advertised beforehand, C2G Production informs the customer of the availability and the conditions.

(8) The customer is informed that C2G Production is entitled to deliver a replacement product, which is equivalent in quality, price, external design, processing and material, if the ordered product is not available after conclusion of the contract for reasons for which C2G Production is not responsible and the delivery of a replacement product is reasonable for the customer.
