These provisions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) apply to all transactions between Simon Vorhammer, Formfeld, Kontorhaus 1, Büro 121/122, Schäftlarnstrasse 10, 81371 Munich, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “seller”) and the customer (hereinafter referred to as “buyer”), unless expressly agreed otherwise. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession (Section 13 German Civil Code, BGB). A business is anyone who, when concluding the contract, acts in the exercise of their trade, business or profession (Section 14 BGB).

The presentation of the products on the seller's website does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to order. The buyer can place his order by telephone, in writing or by e-mail. The contract is only concluded when the seller confirms the order in writing or by email. The automatic order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the offer.

After ordering, the selected structural patterns is excluded from the selection for subsequent buyers and implemented individually in production, therefore changing the selection of the structure is no longer possible once the order has been placed. This applies to the same extent to the selection of the desired format, the type of perforation and the material.

Delivery will be made to the address specified by the buyer. The buyer bears the shipping costs unless otherwise agreed. The seller reserves the right to choose the shipping method at their discretion.

The production of a Formfeld1 panel usually takes six to nine weeks from the time of order, with an additional processing time of two weeks for panels with micro-perforation. Delivery will be made immediately after production in consultation with the buyer.

If production or delivery is delayed, the buyer will be informed immediately. Such a delay may result from the fact that the wood blanks used are not always available according to our special quality requirements. We hope for your understanding that the quality of our panels is prioritized over the delivery time. In case of force majeure or other unforeseen events beyond the control of the seller, the production and delivery time will be extended accordingly.

The seller does not provide installation services for the panels. The panels come with instructions for self-installation by the buyer.

The payment terms are generally agreed upon between the seller and the buyer. Unless otherwise agreed, the purchase price is due immediately after ordering. Payment can be made by bank transfer or through the services of ShopPay, PayPal, and Google Pay. The buyer can find information on how to use each service in the information provided by the respective service. In case of payment delays, the seller is entitled to charge default interest of 5% above the base rate.

The delivered products remain the property of the seller until full payment has been received.

The statutory rights regarding defects apply. Fine branches, knots and ingrowths, color and brightness differences between adjacent solid wood slats, as well as other natural variations in the wood are not considered defects. The buyer is asked to report defects in writing as soon as possible after discovery; this does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights. If the buyer is a business, the seller chooses between repair and replacement, and the duty to inspect and give notice of defects under Section 377 German Commercial Code (HGB) applies.

The buyer does not have a right of withdrawal due to the individual production according to the buyer's selection.

The seller is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, i.e. an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the buyer may rely, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

The seller is not liable for damage caused by improper use, installation or storage of the wall panels, unless the seller is responsible for it.

The seller collects and uses the buyer's personal data exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling the contract. The seller undertakes to treat the buyer's personal data confidentially and to use it only within the framework of the legal provisions. The data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling the contract. For further information on the collection and use of data, please refer to our privacy policy, available at Privacy.

Should individual provisions of these terms and conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

German law applies. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. If the buyer is a consumer, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive the buyer of the protection of mandatory provisions of the country in which the buyer has their habitual residence. If the buyer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Munich.
