Any orders placed by the Consumer through the online shop at lovemagenta.com operated and any resulting business relationships are subject to these General Terms and Conditions (the “GTC“). “Consumer” means every natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside his trade, business or profession (§ 13 BGB (German Civil Code)). In this document, Consumers to whom the GTC apply are also collectively referred to as “Customers” and individually as a “Customer“.

1.2. The Customer’s diverging, conflicting or supplementing terms of business, if any, will not become a part of the contract even if Miles GmbH is familiar with such terms of business, unless Miles GmbH consents to their use in the specific case expressly and in writing.

2. Contracting party

2.1. If a binding contract is made, the Customer’s counterparty is

2.2. The Provider is registered at the commercial register of the Local Court of Kiel under no. HRB 3850 NO.

3. Offer and contract

3.1. The displays of the Provider’s products in the online shop at lovemagenta.com do not constitute legally binding offers; they are purely invitations to place orders. Information may be subject to error.

3.2. Orders are placed in six steps. In the first step, the Customer selects the desired goods and places them into the shopping cart. In the second step, the Customer navigates to the checkout page. In the third step, the Customer is invited to enter his shipping address. In the fourth step, the Customer is invited to select the shipping method. In the fifth step, the Customer selects the payment method. In the final step the Customer is provided with a summary of the ordered goods. The Customer may correct his selection by returning to the shopping cart. The Customer then acknowledges and confirms the GTC, which enables the Customer to place the order at the price by clicking the “BUY NOW” button.

3.3. By clicking the “BUY NOW” button, the Customer places a binding order for the goods in the shopping cart. The Provider acknowledges receipt of the Customer’s order and accepts the order promptly by an automated email containing the Customer’s order data and the Provider’s GTC. With this email confirmation the purchase contract is concluded.

A binding contract may also arise before this, as follows:

• If the Customer has selected payment by credit card, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which the credit card is charged.
• If the Customer has selected payment via PayPal, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which the Customer’s payment instruction to PayPal is confirmed.
• If the Customer has selected payment via SOFORT online bank transfer, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which the Customer’s payment instruction to SOFORT GmbH is confirmed.
