Birkenstr. 22 10559 Berlin, Germany (hereinafter "Planted" or "we") made orders and concluded contracts. We reserve the right to change the GTC. In each case, the version of the GTC valid at the time of the order is authoritative, which cannot be changed unilaterally for this order.
  • 2. offer
    The offer is addressed to natural persons with residence or legal entities with registered office [in the EU] (hereinafter referred to as "Customer" or "you"). Deliveries will only be made to addresses [in the EU]. The offer is valid while it is visible in the online store and while stocks last. Price and assortment changes are possible at any time. The images shown in advertising, brochures, in the online store, etc. are for illustrative purposes and are not binding. The specific information on the product packaging is authoritative.
  • 3rd price
    Prices are quoted in euros and include statutory value added tax (VAT). The price in the online store at the time of the order is decisive.
  • 4. payment variants
    1. electronic means of payment

    The means of payment offered in the online store are accepted as means of payment.

    2. purchase on account

    Planted may, at its own discretion, offer payment on account (with or without installment payment option). We can make this payment method dependent on a positive credit check as well as other requirements determined at our discretion (e.g. minimum age, residence). You are not entitled to payment by invoice or by installment. For the purpose of a credit check, personal data is recorded and passed on to the company commissioned with the credit check. We offer you the option of paying for goods and services ordered from us by means of "purchase on account" from POWERPAY. This is a third-party service, whereby the following terms and conditions apply for deliveries to Austria and the following terms and conditions apply for deliveries to Germany. Furthermore, we refer to the existing data protection provisions and the cancellation policy in connection with "POWERPAY purchase on account". When concluding the order by means of "purchase on account", POWERPAY shall take over the processing of the invoice claim that has arisen and shall handle the corresponding payment modalities. You will receive the single invoice free of charge by e-mail. With the single invoice, you can simply settle your online purchase by invoice within the specified payment period. In the event of a delay in payment, Planted is not obliged to respond to new orders or to fulfill outstanding deliveries. Planted reserves the right to charge reminder fees and interest on arrears. All expenses incurred in connection with the collection of overdue receivables shall be borne by the customer. In case of unsuccessful reminders, the invoice amounts can be assigned to a company entrusted with the collection. The company entrusted with the collection will claim the outstanding amounts in its own name and for its own account and may charge additional processing fees and interest on arrears from the due date.
  • 5. order
    The presentation of the products in the online store is not a legally binding application, but a non-binding invitation to the clientele to order the product in the online store. After submitting the order you will automatically receive a confirmation of receipt, which documents that the order has been received by Planted . You can only add to or cancel the order until it is processed in one of our logistics centers. If an order is supplemented, the original order will be used as the basis for calculation, but possible special offers and discounts at the time of supplementation will not be taken into account. Planted is free to refuse orders in whole or in part without giving any reason. In this case you will be informed and payments already made will be refunded. Further claims are excluded, in particular there will be no forwarding of non-deliverable products. Temporarily unavailable products can not be reserved.
  • 6. conclusion of contract
    The contract is only concluded when the order is processed in the logistics center of Planted . As soon as the order is ready for shipment, you will receive an order confirmation by e-mail.
  • 7. delivery times
    1. delivery area

    Your delivery address must be in the EU. We deliver only by mail order. A pickup of the goods is unfortunately not possible. We do not deliver to packing stations.

    2. delivery times

    We indicate in the product description in the online store, within which delivery time range the product is available. It is not possible to specify an exact delivery time within the delivery period. Temporal deviations as well as the blocking of a specific delivery date are possible, especially on peak days with exceptionally high delivery volumes.

    3. delivery costs

    The delivery costs depend on the value of the ordered products (minimum order value excl. delivery costs, depots and credits). The delivery costs communicated in the online store apply. The delivery costs are listed as an additional item in the shopping cart and on the invoice.
  • 8. warranty
    The buyer's warranty claims are governed by the statutory provisions, whereby you are responsible for the proper handling of the food from the transfer of risk:

    - Refrigerated food must be unpacked immediately upon receipt and stored at a maximum of 2-5° Celsius.

    - Frozen products must be handled properly and stored at an uninterrupted temperature of at least -18° Celsius.

    Planted can provide warranty in agreement with you by partial or complete replacement by an equivalent product, credit note up to a maximum of the sales price at the time of the order, or reduction. In the case of a credit note, the amount paid by you for the defective goods will be credited to the customer's account. Planted reserves the right to demand proof of the defect, e.g. by means of a photo.
  • 9. transport damages and notification of defects
    If products are delivered with obvious damage to the packaging or contents, you should immediately complain to the service provider (e.g. carrier, post office) and refuse acceptance. Ask the service provider (e.g. forwarding agent, post office) for a damage confirmation. All transport damages must also be reported immediately to Planted . Any warranty rights against the service provider or Planted are not affected.

    Furthermore, it is your responsibility to check the ordered products immediately upon receipt for obvious and recognizable defects with regard to their condition and to store them correctly (in particular refrigerated or frozen, see section 8). For any defects or deviations from the order, you must immediately notify the customer service of Planted by e-mail to [email protected]. Your warranty claims are not affected by this; however, in the case of perishable goods, we can only check and process complaints quickly and unbureaucratically if you assert them immediately after discovering the defects.
  • 10. right of withdrawal
    If you have your habitual residence or domicile in a Member State of the European Union and are a consumer within the meaning of the applicable law, you have a statutory right of withdrawal.
