1) Scope of Application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Thomas Wysoczanski, trading under "Instaltech Agentur" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods concluded between a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") and the Seller with respect to the goods presented in the Seller’s online shop. The inclusion of the Customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the provision of digital content, unless otherwise expressly stipulated. Digital content within the meaning of these GTC refers to data created and provided in digital form.
1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes which are predominantly outside his or her trade, business or profession.
1.4 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity who, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his or her trade, business or profession.
2) Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the Seller’s online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve to enable the Customer to submit a binding offer.
2.2 The Customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller’s online shop. By placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart, completing the electronic ordering process and clicking the button that concludes the ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart.
2.3 The Seller may accept the Customer’s offer within five days:
- by sending the Customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or email), the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer being decisive, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, the receipt of the goods by the Customer being decisive, or
- by requesting payment from the Customer after the order has been placed.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives occur, the contract shall be concluded at the time one of the alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the Customer’s offer is sent and ends at the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer’s offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the Customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
2.4 If the Customer selects a payment method offered by PayPal, payment processing shall take place via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg ("PayPal"), in accordance with the PayPal Terms of Use available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full
or – if the Customer does not have a PayPal account – in accordance with the conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full
. By selecting a PayPal payment method, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer’s offer at the time the Customer clicks the button completing the ordering process.
2.5 When placing an order via the Seller’s online order form, the contract text will be stored by the Seller after conclusion of the contract and sent to the Customer in text form (e.g., email, fax, or letter) after the Customer has sent his order. Any further provision of the contract text by the Seller does not take place. If the Customer has created a user account in the Seller’s online shop prior to submitting his order, the order data will be archived on the Seller’s website and can be accessed free of charge by the Customer via his password-protected user account, providing the corresponding login details.
2.6 Before submitting a binding order via the Seller’s online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. A useful technical means for better detection of input errors can be the browser’s zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. During the electronic ordering process, the Customer can correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button completing the order process.
2.7 Different languages are available for the conclusion of the contract. The specific language selection is displayed in the online shop.
2.8 Order processing and contact usually take place via email and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the email address provided for order processing is correct so that emails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using spam filters, the Customer must ensure that all emails sent by the Seller or by third parties engaged by the Seller for order processing can be delivered.
3) Right of Withdrawal
3.1 Consumers generally have a right of withdrawal.
3.2 Further information on the right of withdrawal is set out in the Seller’s withdrawal policy.
3.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who, at the time of contract conclusion, do not belong to a member state of the European Union and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of contract conclusion.
4) Prices and Payment Conditions
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Seller’s product description, the prices indicated are total prices including statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs incurred will be indicated separately in the relevant product description.
4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the Seller is not responsible and which must be borne by the Customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g., transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties and taxes (e.g., customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to money transfers if delivery is not to a country outside the European Union, but the Customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
4.3 The available payment methods will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller’s online shop.
4.4 If the Customer selects a payment method offered via the payment service provider "Stripe", payment processing is carried out by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland ("Stripe"). The specific payment methods offered via Stripe are communicated to the Customer in the Seller’s online shop. Stripe may use other payment services for payment processing, which may be subject to specific payment conditions, to which the Customer may be separately referred. Further information about Stripe is available at https://stripe.com/de.
4.5 If the Customer selects credit card payment via Stripe, the invoice amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check and may refuse this payment method in the event of a negative credit check.
5) Delivery and Shipping Conditions
5.1 If the Seller offers shipping of goods, delivery will be made within the delivery area specified by the Seller to the delivery address provided by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed. For processing the transaction, the delivery address specified in the Seller’s order processing is decisive. By way of derogation, if PayPal is selected as the payment method, the delivery address stored with PayPal at the time of payment is decisive.
5.2 If delivery of the goods fails for reasons attributable to the Customer, the Customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Seller. This does not apply to the costs of dispatch if the Customer effectively exercises his right of withdrawal. For the return costs, the provisions of the Seller’s withdrawal policy apply in the event of an effective exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Customer.
5.3 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the carrier, freight forwarder, or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the Customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally passes to the Customer only upon handover of the goods to the Customer or a person authorized to receive them. By way of derogation, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods also passes to the Customer already when the Seller delivers the item to the carrier if the Customer has commissioned the carrier, freight forwarder, or the person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, and the Seller has not previously named this person or institution to the Customer.
5.4 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-supply. This applies only in the case where the non-delivery is not the Seller’s responsibility and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care. The Seller will make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer will be informed without delay and any consideration already paid will be refunded without delay.
5.5 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.
5.6 Digital content will be provided to the Customer as follows:
- by direct access via the Seller’s website
- by download
- by email
6) Granting of Rights of Use for Digital Content
6.1 Unless otherwise stated in the description of content in the Seller’s online shop, the Seller grants the Customer the non-exclusive, unlimited right in terms of location and time to use the content solely for private purposes.
6.2 Passing on the content to third parties or creating copies for third parties outside the scope of these GTC is not permitted, unless the Seller has consented to the transfer of the contractual license to the third party.
6.3 Insofar as the contract relates to the one-time provision of digital content, the granting of rights shall only become effective once the Customer has paid the remuneration owed in full. The Seller may allow the use of the contractual content provisionally even before this time. Such provisional permission does not constitute a transfer of rights.
7) Retention of Title
If the Seller makes advance payment, the Seller retains title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.
8) Liability for Defects (Warranty)
Unless otherwise provided below, the statutory provisions on liability for defects apply. Deviating therefrom, the following shall apply to contracts for the delivery of goods:
8.1 If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur:
- the Seller has the choice of the type of subsequent performance;
- for new goods, the limitation period for defect claims is one year from delivery of the goods;
- for used goods, defect rights are excluded;
- the limitation period does not start again if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of defect liability.
8.2 The above-mentioned limitations of liability and shortening of limitation periods do not apply:
- to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the Customer,
- in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect,
- to goods which, according to their normal use, have been used for a building and have caused its defectiveness,
- to any existing obligation of the Seller to provide updates for digital products in contracts for the delivery of goods with digital elements.
8.3 Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for any statutory recourse claims remain unaffected.
8.4 If the Customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB, he is subject to the commercial duty to examine and give notice of defects pursuant to § 377 HGB. If the Customer fails to comply with the notification obligations regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed approved.
8.5 If the Customer acts as a consumer, he is requested to complain to the deliverer about goods delivered with obvious transport damage and to inform the Seller accordingly. If the Customer fails to do so, this has no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.
9) Liability
The Seller shall be liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory claims, including tort claims, for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows:
9.1 The Seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason:
- in case of intent or gross negligence,
- in case of intentional or negligent injury to life, body or health,
- on the basis of a guarantee promise, if not otherwise regulated,
- due to mandatory liability, such as under the Product Liability Act.
9.2 If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage, unless unlimited liability applies pursuant to the above. Material contractual obligations are obligations that the contract imposes on the Seller in accordance with its content for achieving the contractual purpose, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the Customer may regularly rely.
9.3 Otherwise, the Seller’s liability is excluded.
9.4 The above liability provisions also apply with regard to the Seller’s liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.
10) Applicable Law
10.1 All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the laws on the international sale of movable goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.
10.2 Furthermore, this choice of law does not apply with respect to the statutory right of withdrawal for consumers who, at the time of contract conclusion, do not belong to a member state of the European Union and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of contract conclusion.
11) Alternative Dispute Resolution
The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Right of Withdrawal & Withdrawal Form
A. Instructions on Withdrawal
Introduction
Consumers are entitled to a right of withdrawal under the following provisions, where a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes which are predominantly outside his or her trade, business or profession:
Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party designated by you, who is not the carrier, have taken possession of the last goods.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Thomas Wysoczanski, Instaltech Agentur, Finkensteig 8, 15234 Frankfurt Oder, Germany, Tel.: +4933528466714, E-Mail: admin@sherlocktrades.com

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Consequences of Withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this reimbursement, we will use the same means of payment that you used in the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no event will you be charged any fees because of this reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earlier.
You must return or hand over the goods to us without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of your withdrawal from this contract. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the fourteen-day period has expired.
You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exclusion or Early Expiry of the Right of Withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the supply of newspapers, periodicals or magazines, with the exception of subscription contracts.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who, at the time of conclusion of the contract, do not belong to a member state of the European Union and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.
General Information
Please avoid damaging or contaminating the goods. Please return the goods in original packaging with all accessories and all packaging components. If necessary, use protective outer packaging.

If you register for our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. In doing so, we store your IP address entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration, in order to be able to trace a possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date.

If you abandon your purchase with us before completing the order, you have the option of being reminded once by e-mail of the contents of your virtual shopping cart. The only mandatory information for sending this reminder is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and may be used to address you personally. For the dispatch of the message, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, which ensures that you only receive a notification once you have expressly confirmed your consent to this by activating the verification link sent to the e-mail address provided.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR for sending a shopping cart reminder.

Insofar as this is necessary for the execution of the contract for delivery and payment purposes, the personal data collected by us will be passed on to the commissioned transport company and the commissioned credit institution in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
If, on the basis of a corresponding contract, we owe you updates for goods with digital elements or for digital products, we process the contact data you provided when placing the order in order to inform you personally within the scope of our statutory information obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

8.3 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)
- Amazon Pay
This website offers one or more online payment methods of the following provider: Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg.
If you select a payment method of the provider where you make an advance payment (e.g. credit card payment), your payment data provided in the course of the order process (including name, address, bank and card information, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about the contents of your order will be passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The transmission of your data in this case is solely for the purpose of processing payments with the provider and only to the extent necessary.
- Apple Pay
If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed via the "Apple Pay" function of your device operated with iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features built into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. For approval of a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code previously defined by you as well as verification using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the order process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted in encrypted form to Apple. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for execution of the payment. This encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number as well as a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.
If personal data is processed during the transfers described, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Personal identification is completely excluded by anonymization. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on the Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a form that can identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow payments on Mac."
Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

9) Online Marketing
Google AdSense
This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google AdSense uses so-called cookies, which are text files stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. In addition, Google AdSense uses so-called "web beacons" (small invisible graphics) to collect information, through which simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website can be recorded, collected, and evaluated. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including your IP address) about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a server of Google and stored there. This may also result in a transfer to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Google uses the information thus obtained to analyze your usage behavior with regard to AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google AdSense is not merged with other Google data. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if this is required by law and/or insofar as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
All of the processing described above, in particular the reading of information on the end device used via cookies and/or web beacons, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, Google AdSense will not be used during your website visit.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

Microsoft Clarity
This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA.
With the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the end device used such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this enables the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits as well as interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization generally precludes direct personal reference. A combination with other personal data collected in other ways does not take place.
All of the processing described above, in particular the reading or storage of information on the end device used, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

11) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
Meta Pixel with Advanced Matching
Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service in advanced matching mode from the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta").
When a user clicks on an advertisement we have placed on Facebook or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel." This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser by a cookie that our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the e-mail address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram advertisement in processes such as purchases, account logins, or registrations (advanced matching). The cookie is then read out and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta.
We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced matching to make our advertisements ("ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of users or exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products determined on the basis of visited websites) that we transmit to Meta ("custom audiences").
In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel," the advanced matching function helps us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns more accurately by capturing more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta, so that assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
). The data may enable Meta and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, transmission to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may also occur.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

13) Tools and Miscellaneous
Cookie-Consent-Tool
This website uses a so-called “Cookie Consent Tool” to obtain valid user consents for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users upon accessing the site in the form of an interactive user interface, through which consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking checkboxes. By using this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user has granted the appropriate consents by ticking the checkboxes. This ensures that such cookies are placed on the user’s device only if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies in order to store your cookie preferences. In this process, personal user data is generally not processed.
However, if in individual cases personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, such processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management system for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our online presence.
An additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1)(c) GDPR. As the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of cookies that are not technically necessary dependent on the respective user’s consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the configuration options of the “Cookie Consent Tool” can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

15) Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and – where applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., retention periods under commercial and tax law).
Where the processing of personal data is based on an explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.
