General Terms and Conditions of Kreutzers Gourmet GmbH

(Hereinafter abbreviated to “Kreutzers Gourmet”)

Section 1 Scope

The following general terms and conditions apply for all deliveries, services and offers of Kreutzers Gourmet.

 

Section 2 Conclusion of contract

  1. By placing an order with Kreutzers Gourmet, you are submitting an offer to conclude a purchase agreement. After you place the order, you will receive an email confirming the receipt of this order which also outlines the details of the offer (confirmation email). This confirmation does not establish a purchase agreement, instead it serves to inform you that the offer you submitted has been received. Acceptance of your offer is not confirmed until the second email is sent to you upon shipment of the ordered goods (acceptance email). The purchase agreement is established by this acceptance email. In case you do not receive an acceptance email within five days, you are entitled to withdraw from your offer to conclude a purchase agreement with Kreutzers Gourmet.
    In case the contract is accepted, Kreutzers Gourmet will save the contract text and send you the order details in the second email. You can view the terms and conditions here at any time. For security reasons, your order data will no longer be available over the internet; you can view past orders in your customer account.
  2. Contracts, in particular agreements for the sale of alcoholic beverages, will only be established with individuals aged 18 and older. By sending an order you confirm that you are of legal age.
    If Kreutzers Gourmet is obligated to conduct an age check because of statutory requirements, Kreutzers Gourmet will inform the logistics provider commissioned to make the delivery only to hand over the delivery to persons who have reached the minimum legal age, and in case of doubt to request the person receiving the goods to show ID to verify their age.
  3. Kreutzers Gourmet only sells its goods in quantities typical for household use unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.

 

Section 3 Cancellation policy for consumers

Cancellation policy

Right of cancellation

You can cancel the contract you have entered into with Kreutzers Gourmet within a period of 14 days without providing reasons. This period begins on the day you or a third party named by you who is not the carrier took possession of the goods; for subscriptions, this period starts on the day you or a third party named by you who is not the carrier took possession of the first goods. You can exercise your right of cancellation by making an unambiguous declaration to Kreutzers Gourmet GmbH, Alte Nürnbergerstr. 28, 93059 Regensburg. To do so, you can use our sample cancellation form, though this is not required. To comply with the cancellation period, you must send notification that you are exercising your right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired and return the goods to us within the period defined below (Kreutzers Gourmet GmbH, Alte Nürnbergerstr. 28, 93059 Regensburg).

Consequences of cancellation

After effective cancellation, all payments that we have received from you for the cancelled contract, including shipping costs (with the exception of extra costs as a result of you choosing a different shipping method than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us) will be reimbursed to you promptly, no later than within fourteen days from the date we have received notification that you are canceling this contract. In this context, we use the same payment method for reimbursement that you used for the original transaction, unless otherwise expressly agreed upon with you. We can refuse reimbursement until we have received the goods or until you have demonstrated that you have shipped the goods back, whichever happens first. The goods must be sent back to Kreutzers Gourmet GmbH, Alte Nürnbergerstr. 28, 93059 Regensburg, and in all cases no later than within fourteen days from the date you notified us that you would be canceling this contract. This deadline will be met if you ship the goods before the expiry of the fourteen-day period. You will bear the direct costs for return shipment of the goods.
You will only be responsible for a potential loss of value in the goods if this loss of value can be attributed to use other than the necessary handling to inspect the quality, properties and functionality of the goods.

Exclusion of cancellation

The right of cancellation does not exist, however, for distance selling contracts

    • regarding the delivery of goods that are not pre-manufactured and which require individual selection or configuration by the consumer for their manufacture, or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
    • regarding the delivery of goods that can spoil quickly or for which the expiration date would quickly be exceeded;
    • regarding the delivery of newspapers, magazines or illustrated media with the exception of subscription contracts
    • regarding the delivery of alcoholic beverages for which a price was agreed when concluding the purchase agreement but for which delivery can only be performed after 30 days where the current value depends on fluctuations in the market over which the company has no influence

The right of cancellation expires prematurely for remote selling contracts

      • regarding the delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons relating to the protection of health or hygiene, if the seal was removed after delivery;
      • regarding the delivery of audio or video recordings or computer software in a sealed package, if the seal was removed after delivery.

  2. Cookies

    In addition to the abovementioned data, we also use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are short text files transferred from our web servers to your browser when you visit our website, and which are saved on your device for later access. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They are used to make the internet service more user-friendly and effective as a whole.

    The cookies we use particularly serve to identify the frequency of use and the number of users to our website, and to recognize your device again when visiting our website or when switching from one page to another within our website, as well as to determine the end of your visit. In this way, we learn which areas of our website and which other websites our users have visited.

    However, this usage data cannot be used to draw conclusions about the user. All anonymously collected usage data will not be linked with your personal data according to Section 4 Clause 1 of this privacy policy, and will be immediately deleted after statistical analysis has been completed. After the end of the session, that is, as soon you end your browser session, the cookies on your device will be deleted.

    1. Our website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and function of which is clarified in the following:

      • Transient cookies (see b)
      • Persistent cookies (see c).

    2. Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These especially include session cookies. These cookies store a so-called session ID which makes it possible to attribute various requests from your browser over the entire session. This makes it possible to recognize your computer when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

    3. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period of time which varies depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time using the security settings in your browser.

    4. You can configure your browser settings at any time according to your preferences and, for instance, reject third-party cookies or all cookies as a rule. We hereby inform you that you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent.

    5. We use cookies to identify you during future visits if you have an account with us. Otherwise you would have to log in again for each visit.

    6. The Flash cookies we use are not collected by your browser, but instead by your Flash plugin. We also use HTML5 storage objects that are saved on your device. These objects store the necessary data independently of the browser you use and have no automatic expiration date. If you prefer not to use Flash cookies, you need to install an add-on for this purpose, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash Killer cookie for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by using your browser in private mode. We also recommend you to regularly delete your cookies and browser history manually.

  3. Registration on our website

    Data subjects have the option of registering on the controller’s website by providing personal data. The specific personal data that is transferred to the controller for data processing depends on the input field in question that is used for registration. The personal data provided by the data subject is exclusively collected and stored for internal use by the controller and for independent purposes. The controller for data processing can arrange for this data to be transferred to one or more processors, for instance a parcel service, who will also process this data exclusively for internal use that will be attributed to the controller.

    By registering on the controller’s website, the internet service provider (ISP) for the IP address issued to the data subject will be stored along with the date and time of registration. This data is stored because this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and this data may make it possible to resolve crimes that have been committed if necessary. In this regard, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller for data processing. This data will not generally be forwarded to third parties as long as there is no legal obligation of transfer or unless this transfer is intended for the purposes of criminal prosecution.

    The registration of data subjects by voluntarily providing personal data enables the controller to offer the data subjects content or services that can only be offered to registered users based on the nature of the matter. Registered individuals have the option of changing the information they provided during registration or to have this information entirely deleted from the controller’s database.

    The controller will provide information to any data subject on request at any time regarding which personal data has been stored concerning the data subject. Furthermore, the controller will rectify or delete personal data at the request or instruction of the data subject unless this is opposed by any statutory retention obligations. In this context, a data protection officer listed by name in this privacy policy as well as all the controller’s employees will be available as contacts for the data subject.

  4. Subscription to the newsletter

    On the company’s website, users are granted the option of subscribing to our company newsletter. The specific personal data that is transferred to the controller for data processing when subscribing to the newsletter depends on the input field that is used.

    The company uses the newsletter to regularly inform customers and business partners about the company’s offers. As a rule, our company newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject signs up for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation mail will be sent to the email address initially entered by the data subject for the newsletter subscription in a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation mail serves to confirm whether the owner of the email address authorized the receipt of the newsletter as a data subject.

    When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address issued by the internet service provider (ISP) for the data subject’s computer system at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to trace the (potential) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and is therefore a legal safeguard for the controller.

    The personal data collected when subscribing to the newsletter is used exclusively for newsletter mailing. Subscribers to the newsletter can also be informed via e-mail regarding circumstances that are relevant to the newsletter service or for registration, for instance, changes to the newsletter service or technical conditions. None of the personal data collected by the newsletter service will be transferred to third parties. The newsletter subscription can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The data subject may withdraw consent to the storage of personal data for newsletter mailing at any time. You will find a corresponding link for this purpose in each newsletter. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on the controller’s website or communicate this to the controller in another way.

  5. Data protection regulations regarding the use and application of AWIN

    The controller for data processing has integrated components of the company AWIN onto this website. AWIN is a German affiliate network that offers affiliate marketing.

    Affiliate marketing is an internet-based sales technique that enables commercial website operators, known as merchants or advertisers, who are mostly compensated through click or sale commissions, to display ads on the websites of third parties, that is sales partners, also referred to as affiliates or publishers. Using the affiliate network, the merchant makes advertising available, either an ad banner or another suitable tool for internet advertising, which an affiliate subsequently integrates into their own websites or which is displayed via other channels such as keyword advertising or email marketing.

    The company operating AWIN is AWIN AG, Eichhornstraße 3, 10785 Berlin, Germany.

    AWIN saves a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. The definition of cookies has already been explained above. AWIN’s tracking cookie does not use any kind of personal data. It only stores the ID number of the affiliate, that is, of the partner advertising to potential customers, as well as the serial number of the visitor to a website and the advertisement that was clicked on. The purpose of storing this data is to settle commission payments between a merchant and the affiliate which is settled over the affiliate network, that is, Affilinet.

    The data subject can prevent our website from placing cookies as already outlined above, and thus permanently object to the placement of cookies, by changing the relevant browser settings accordingly. Configuring the browser is this way would also prevent AWIN from placing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Cookies previously placed by AWIN can also be deleted at any time using an internet browser or other software program.

    The applicable data protection regulations for AWIN can be accessed at https://www.awin.com/de/rechtliches/privacy-policy.

  6. Data protection regulations regarding the use and application of Facebook

    The controller for data processing has integrated components of the company Facebook onto this website. Facebook is a social network.

    The operator of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller for data processing, if the data subject lives outside of the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

    Every time an individual page on this website is accessed on which a Facebook component (Facebook plugin) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically directed by the relevant Facebook component to download and display the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A general overview of all Facebook plugins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Through this technical process, Facebook obtains knowledge about which specific subpages the data subject has visited on our website.

    If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook will be able to detect which specific subpages the data subject visits every time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of each session on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and Facebook attributes it to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons embedded on our website, for instance the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook will attribute this information to the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and store this personal data.

    Using these Facebook elements, Facebook will be informed whenever the data subject visits our website if the data subject was also logged into Facebook at the time they accessed our website; this will occur regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Facebook elements or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to Facebook, the data subject can prevent this transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

    The privacy policy published by Facebook, accessible at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information regarding the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. This also clarifies which settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. Various applications are also available which prevent the transmission of data to Facebook. The data subject can use such applications to prevent the transmission of data to Facebook.

    The company has also concluded a data processing agreement with Facebook. This means that Facebook will collect the following data for the company in order to link with our social media account.

  7. Data protection regulations regarding the use and application of Google Analytics (with an anonymization function)

    The controller for data processing has integrated Google Analytics components (with an anonymization function) onto this website.

    The operator of the Google Analytics components is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

    The controller uses the add-on "_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. Using this add-on, Google truncates and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection if our websites are accessed from within one of the member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Treaty on the European Economic Area.

    The purpose of the Google Analytics components is to analyze the flow of visitors on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained in part to analyze the use of our website, to compile online reports about the activity on our website and to perform other services associated with the use of our website.

    Google Analytics saves a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. The definition of cookies has already been explained above. Saving a cookie makes it possible for Google to analyze the use of our website. Every time an individual page on this website is accessed on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically directed by the relevant Google Analytics component to transfer data to Google for the purposes of online analysis. Through this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which enable Google to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently calculate commissions.

    These cookies store personal information, such as the date and time of access, the place of access and the frequency with which the data subject visits our website. Each time our website is visited, this personal data including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject will be transferred to Google in the United States of America. Google will store this personal data in the United States of America. Depending on the circumstances, Google may transfer the personal data collected through this technical procedure to third parties.

    The data subject also has the option of objecting to the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics concerning the use of this website as well as Google’s processing of this data, and to prevent such processing. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on by following the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on communicates to Google Analytics using JavaScript that no data and information may be transmitted to Google Analytics regarding visits to the website. Google considers the installation of this browser add-on as an objection. If the data subject’s IT system is erased, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another individual within the data subject’s sphere of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactive the browser add-on.

    More information and the applicable data protection regulations for Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail via this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

    The company has also concluded a data processing agreement with Google Inc. This means that Google will collect the following data for the company in order to analyze the use of our website.

  8. Data protection regulations regarding the use and application of Google AdWords

    The controller for data processing has integrated Google AdWords into this website.

    The operator of the Google AdWords service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

    The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-related ads on third-party websites and in search results for the Google search engine, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

    If a data subject accesses our website by clicking a Google ad, Google will store a so-called conversion cookie on the data subject’s IT system. The definition of cookies has already been explained above. Conversion cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the data subject. The

    conversion cookie traces, as long as the cookie has not yet expired, whether particular pages, such as the shopping cart for an online shopping system, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to trace whether a data subject who accessed our website by clicking an AdWords ad has generated revenue, that is, whether they have purchased goods or canceled a purchase.

    Google uses the data and information collected via conversion cookies to generate traffic statistics for our website. We then use these traffic statistics to determine the total number of visitors who were forwarded to our website via AdWords ads, thereby determining how effective or ineffective a given AdWords ad has been and optimizing our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertising clients of Google AdWords will receive information from Google which could allow identification of the data subject.

    The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, for instance the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject will be transferred to Google in the United States of America. Google will store this personal data in the United States of America. Depending on the circumstances, Google may transfer the personal data collected through this technical procedure to third parties.

    The data subject can prevent our website from placing cookies as already outlined above, and thus permanently object to the placement of cookies, by changing the relevant browser settings accordingly. Configuring the browser is this way would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Cookies previously placed by Google AdWords can also be deleted at any time using an internet browser or other software program.

    The data subject is also entitled to object to Google’s interest-based advertising. To do so, the data subject needs to access the link www.google.de/settings/ads using his or her internet browser and make the desired changes to the settings.

    More information and the applicable data protection regulations for Google can be accessed at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

AddThis uses this data to generate anonymous user profiles. The data and information transmitted to AddThis in this manner allows the company AddThis itself, as well as companies affiliated with AddThis or its partner companies, to display personalized and interest-based advertising to visitors to the controller’s website.

    AddThis displays personalized and interest-based advertising based on a cookie saved by the company. This cookie analyzes the individual browsing behavior of the computer system used by the data subject. This cookie stores visits to websites originating from this computer system.

    The data subject can prevent our website from placing cookies as already outlined above, and thus permanently object to the placement of cookies, by changing the relevant browser settings accordingly.

Payments are settled through so-called PayPal accounts that represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of making virtual payments using credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account.

By selecting this payment option, the data subject is consenting to the transfer of personal data necessary for handling payment.

    The personal data generally transmitted to PayPal includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, phone number, cell phone number or other data required for payment processing. Personal data associated with a given order is also required in order to process the purchase agreement.

    This transfer of data serves the purposes of payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal particularly if there is a legitimate in this transfer. Depending on the circumstances, PayPal may transfer the personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller to credit agencies. The purpose of this transfer is an identity and credit check.

    PayPal may forward this personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is required in order to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data will be processed.

    The data subject has the option of withdrawing consent to PayPal’s use of personal data at any time. This withdrawal will not affect personal data which needs to be processed, used or transferred for the (proper contractual) settlement of payments.
