1) Validity

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions of business (hereinafter "T&Cs") of air up GmbH (hereinafter the "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods which a retail or business customer (hereinafter the "Customer") agrees with the Seller with regard to goods offered by the Seller in its online store. Any Customer terms and conditions shall not apply, except where agreed otherwise.

1.2 For contracts for the delivery of vouchers, these T&Cs apply accordingly, except where expressly agreed otherwise.

1.3 Retail customer in the sense of these T&Cs is any natural person, who is at least 18 years of age, and who enters into a lawful transaction for purposes which are not predominantly to do with their business or self-employed activity. A Business customer within the meaning of these T&Cs is a natural or legal person or partnership with legal standing who, when entering into a lawful transaction, is acting in the interest of their business or self-employed activity.

1.4 The Seller's products are intended only for retail and business Customers as end-users. Commercial resale of the products is not permitted. The Seller reserves the right to reject offers of sales contracts if they appear to be for commercial resale.

2) Contract

2.1 The following rules on contract validity apply to orders placed through the online store www.air-up.com.

2.2 Should a contract result, this will be with
air up GmbH

Friedenstraße 22A,

81671 Munich, Germany
Email: alex@air-up.com

2.3 The product descriptions in the Seller's online store do not represent binding offers on the part of the Seller, but do allow the Customer to make a binding offer to purchase.

2.4 The Customer can make their offer to purchase using the online order form integrated into the Seller's online store. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the online ordering process, the Customer then makes a legally binding offer to enter into a contract for the goods held in the shopping cart by clicking the button ["confirm order"] at the end of the ordering process. However, the order can only be placed and sent once the Customer has accepted these legal terms and conditions by clicking the button ["Accept T&Cs"] and the button ["Accept refund policy"] and in doing so includes them in their order. Immediately after sending the order, the Seller will send an order confirmation to the Customer, which does not yet however represent acceptance of the offer to purchase.

2.5 The Seller has five days in which to accept the Customer's offer to purchase,

• by sending the Customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or email), in which case receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer shall make it binding, or
• by delivering the items ordered to the Customer, in which case receipt of goods by the Customer shall make it binding, or
• by requesting payment from the Customer once the Customer has placed their order.

Where several alternatives as set out above are possible, the contract shall become effective at the point any of the above first occurs. The timeframe for accepting the offer to purchase commences on the day after the Customer sends it, and ends at the close of the fifth day after sending it. If the Seller fails to accept the Customer's offer to purchase within the above timescale, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the effect that the Customer shall no longer be bound by their declaration of intent.

2.6 When submitting an offer to purchase using the Seller's online order form, the Seller will store the wording of the contract once it becomes effective, and will send a copy to that Customer in text form (such as email, fax or letter) after placing their order, along with the refund policy and details of the items ordered. The Seller shall not make the wording of the contract available beyond this. Where the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller's online store prior to sending their order, the order data will be archived on the Seller's website and maybe viewed free of charge by the Customer using their password-protected user account by providing the relevant login data.

2.7 As part of the ordering process, the Customer first initially places the goods or services required in the shopping cart. There, the Customer can change the required number of items at any time or remove certain goods altogether. Once the Customer has added items to the shopping cart, clicking on the "Next" button then takes the Customer to a page where they can enter their details and then select the delivery and payment method. Finally, a summary page opens where the Customer can check all the details. The Customer can correct any mistakes (regarding payment method, details or the number of items required, for instance) by clicking on "Edit" in the appropriate field. Fully closing down the browser window will cancel the order process completely. Otherwise, upon clicking the confirmation button ["Confirm order"], the Customer's declaration shall become binding within the meaning of clause 2.2 of these T&Cs.

2.8 Order processing and contact are usually managed using email and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the email address they provide for order processing is accurate, so emails from the Seller can be received at that address. In particular, when using spam filters, the Customer must ensure that any emails from the Seller or third party acting on their behalf for processing the order can be delivered successfully.

3) Right of withdrawal

3.1 Retail customers are normally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2 More information on the right of withdrawal is given in the Seller's refund policy.

4) Pricing and terms of payment

4.1 Except where stated otherwise in the Seller's item description, prices quoted are total prices inclusive of VAT. Any additional delivery and transport costs will be shown separately in the relevant item description or as part of the ordering process, before items are placed in the virtual shopping cart.

Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "Amazon"), subject to the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement, which can be viewed at https://payments.amazon.de/help/201751590. If the Customer selects "Amazon Payments" as the payment method during the online ordering process, clicking the button to finalise the ordering process also issues a payment instruction to Amazon. In this case, the Seller actually confirms acceptance of the Customer's offer to purchase at the point where the Customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button to finalise the ordering process.

4.5 If the"SOFORT" payment method is selected, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter "SOFORT").

Furthermore, this does not apply to the costs of despatch where the Customer lawfully exercises their right of withdrawal.

• for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the Customer, as well as
• where the Seller has fraudulently concealed the fault.

This does not apply to claims for damages from the Customer arising from injury to life, limb or health, nor from a material breach of obligations under the contract, nor indeed liability for other damages based on deliberate or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Seller, their legal representatives or agents. Material obligations under the contract are those which must be met in order to achieve the objectives of the contract.

Where the Customer is acting as a commercial business, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising under this contract shall be where the Seller has its registered office. Where the Customer has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller's registered office shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising under this contract if the contract or claims arising under it can be associated with the Customer's professional or business activity. In the above cases, however, the Seller shall in any case be entitled to appeal to the court at the Customer's place of business.
