General information

Shopping on goonsgear.com is possible by using the cart. All products that can be added to the cart can normally be delivered. If a product is no longer in stock, the buyer can still add it to his/her wish list and will receive an email notification indicating when the product will be available again.
In addition, GOONSGEAR also offers the option of pre-ordering records before their official release date. For the purpose of clarity, GOONSGEAR would like to emphasise that the pre-ordered products cannot be delivered before the official release date.

1. Area of applicability
These GTCs are applicable for every order placed with GOONSGEAR irrespective of whether the order has been placed via the website using the “Cart”. Contract partners are GOONSGEAR GbR, Geranienweg 7, 96163 Gundelsheim, Germany and the consumer or contractor (subsequently „customer“).

A “consumer” means a natural person, except a merchant who obtains goods or services for the purposes of his business. “Contractor” in these GTCs means any natural or legal person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that can be attributed to its commercial or independent professional activity. These GTCs apply to all, including future contracts between GOONSGEAR and the customer. With each contract the customer accepts the GTCs active at the point in time of the conclusion of the contract. The following GTCs apply to all contracts, thus contravening all other regulations or GTCs the customer might have. These GTCs are printed in GOONSGEAR
catalogues and can be accessed online under the link GTCs. In addition, these GTCs are sent to every customer along with the order confirmation sent by GOONSGEAR (see the Conclusion of a contract).

2. Conclusion of a contract
Orders can be placed with GOONSGEAR by using the cart on the website (http://www.goonsgear.com) as well as by telephone. The order is a binding offer of the customer to conclude a sales contract.

The sales contract comes into existence when GOONSGEAR sends an order confirmation to the customer via email. If GOONSGEAR does not have the customer’s email address, the sales contract shall be concluded over the phone.

GOONSGEAR can accept the customer’s offer mentioned in the order within 5 calendar days. If this does not happen (no order confirmation, no conclusion of the contract over the phone within the specified period), the customer’s offer shall be considered as rejected.

6. GOONSGEAR’s right to rescind
If GOONSGEAR does not receive the payment within the 14-day payment period GOONSGEAR is entitled to withdraw from the contract.

Orders are dispatched via DHL, Deutsche Post (Warensendung), Hermes UK, & USPS via Transglobal Express.

If delivery fails due to reasons in the customer’s domain, the customer carries any additional shipping costs should the order be re-sent. It is further the customers responsibility to ensure that the delivery can be made successfully during business and delivery hours to the specified delivery address. GOONSGEAR carries the risk of loss insofar that the customer is a consumer. The risk of loss and accidental damage is transferred to the customer upon receipt of the goods.

GOONSGEAR also reserves the right to entrust another company with delivery.

8. Acceptance of the delivery by the customer
The customer should not accept packages that are visibly damaged on the outside without registering a complaint as this will make the verification of a damaged consignment during transit at the cost of GOONSGEAR difficult or may rule out such a possibility. When accepting the consignment, the customer must therefore ensure that the delivered package is not damaged on the outside. If the package is visibly damaged and therefore damage to its contents is obvious, the customer must show this to the delivery agent and let the delivery agent make a suitable note and should retain a copy of this note.
