As of: October 2022

The General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “Terms and Conditions”) apply to everyone in the Planted Foods GmbH online shop. Birkenstr. 22 10559 Berlin, Germany (hereinafter “ Planted ” or “ we ”) placed orders and concluded contracts. We reserve the right to change the terms and conditions. The version of the General Terms and Conditions valid at the time of the order is decisive, which cannot be changed unilaterally for this order.

The offer is aimed at natural persons with residency or legal entities based [in the EU] (hereinafter “clients” or “you”). Deliveries are only made to addresses [in the EU]. The offer is valid as long as it is visible in the online shop and stocks last. Price and range changes are possible at any time. The images shown in advertising, brochures, the online shop, etc. are for illustration purposes and are non-binding. The specific information on the product packaging is decisive.

The prices are stated in euros and include statutory value added tax (VAT). The price in the online shop at the time of ordering is decisive.

1. Electronic means of payment

The payment methods offered in the online shop are accepted as payment methods.

2. Purchase on account

Planted may, at its sole discretion, offer payment by invoice (with or without an installment payment option). We can make this method of payment dependent on a positive credit check and other conditions determined at our discretion (e.g. minimum age, place of residence). You are not entitled to payment on account or in installments. For the purpose of a credit check, personal data is recorded and passed on to the company responsible for the credit check. We offer you the opportunity to pay for the goods and services you have ordered from us using POWERPAY’s “purchase on account”. This is a third-party service, whereby the following general terms and conditions apply for deliveries to Austria and the following general terms and conditions apply for deliveries to Germany. We also refer to the data protection regulations and the cancellation policy in connection with “POWERPAY purchase on account”. When completing the order using “purchase on account”, POWERPAY takes over the processing of the resulting invoice claim and handles the corresponding payment modalities. You will receive the individual invoice free of charge by email. With the individual invoice you can easily pay for your online purchase by invoice within the specified payment period. In the event of late payment, Planted is not obliged to respond to new orders or fulfill outstanding deliveries. Planted reserves the right to charge reminder fees and late payment interest. All expenses incurred in connection with the collection of overdue claims are borne by the customer. If reminders are unsuccessful, the invoice amounts can be assigned to a company responsible for debt collection. The company responsible for debt collection will claim the outstanding amounts in its own name and on its own account and may charge additional processing fees and late payment interest from the due date.

The presentation of the products in the online shop is not a legally binding application, but rather a non-binding invitation to customers to order the product in the online shop. After submitting the order, you will automatically receive a confirmation of receipt documenting that the order has been received by Planted. You can only add or cancel the order until it is processed in one of our logistics centers. If an order is supplemented, the original order is used as the basis for calculation, but possible special offers and discounts at the time of the supplement are not taken into account. Planted is free to reject orders in whole or in part without giving reasons. In this case you will be informed and payments already made will be refunded. Further claims are excluded; in particular, products that cannot be delivered will not be forwarded. Products that are temporarily unavailable cannot be reserved.

The contract is only concluded when the order is processed in Planted's logistics center. As soon as the order has been prepared for shipping, you will receive an order confirmation by email.

1. Delivery area

Your delivery address must be in the EU. We only deliver by mail. Unfortunately, a self collection of the product is not possible. We do not deliver to packing stations.

2. Delivery times

As part of the product description in the online shop, we indicate the delivery time within which the product can be delivered. It is not possible to determine an exact delivery time within the delivery period. Time deviations and 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 products ordered (minimum order value excluding delivery costs, deposits and credits). The delivery costs communicated in the online shop apply. The delivery costs are listed as an additional item in the shopping cart and on the invoice.

The buyer's warranty claims are based on the legal regulations, 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 a continuous temperature of at least -18° Celsius.

Planted can, in agreement with you, provide the warranty through partial or complete replacement with an equivalent product, credit up to a maximum of the sales price at the time of ordering, or reduction. In the case of a credit note, the amount you paid for the defective goods will be credited to the customer account. Planted reserves the right to request proof of the defect, e.g. through a photo.

If products are delivered with obvious damage to the packaging or contents, you should immediately complain to the service provider (e.g. freight forwarder, postal service) and refuse to accept them. Have a damage confirmation report from the service provider (e.g. freight forwarder, postal service) handed to you. You must also report any transport damage immediately to Planted. This does not affect any warranty rights towards the service provider or Planted.

It is also your responsibility to check the ordered products immediately upon receipt for obvious and recognizable defects in terms of their quality and to store them correctly (in particular refrigerated or frozen, see section 8). For any defects or discrepancies with the order, you must immediately notify Planted customer service by email to shop@eatplanted.com. This does not affect your warranty claims; However, we can only examine and process complaints about perishable goods quickly and unbureaucratically if you raise them immediately after discovering the defects.

If you have your habitual residence or domicile in a member state of the European Union and are a consumer within the meaning of applicable law, you have a statutory right of withdrawal. However, there is an exception for perishable foods, which include most of our products, and we exclude the right of withdrawal for these products.
