Terms & Conditions
General Terms and Conditions for Orders from BPitch Control GmbH
§ 1 Validity
Business relations between BPitch Control GmbH (hereafter called BPitch) and the customer are exclusively subject to the following General Terms and Conditions, so long as no differing terms and conditions are agreed in writing between BPitch and the individual customer. This shall also apply if the customer uses terms and conditions which contradict or differ from our terms and conditions. Such contradictory or differing conditions of the customer will only apply with our express written permission.
§ 2 Contract conclusion
1. Orders from BPitch can be made by telephone, letter, facsimile, email or online. The order received by BPitch is an offer to us to complete a purchase contract. When you order goods from us we send you an order confirmation by email which confirms to you that we have received your order. The order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of your offer. Only when we send you the goods you have ordered and confirm that the order has been sent with a second email has a purchase contract for the sent and confirmed goods been concluded. In case payment is being made by bank transfer, we will only send out the product once the purchase price has been credited to our account.
In case of an online order, a contract is generally concluded when
a) the customer transfers all necessary personal information (name, address, email etc.), billing address and desired order to us electronically during the order process and
b) the customer agrees to these General Terms and Conditions and
c) BPitch sends the goods ordered to the customer.
Before the customer submits his binding online order he has the opportunity to check the data to be sent to us for accuracy and completeness and to correct any input errors. The contract text is stored after the contract is completed and can be made accessible to the customer upon his request.
Once we have received the online order we send the order confirmation and cancellation policy to the customer at the email address he has supplied.
2. The customer’s contract partner is: BPitch Control GmbH, represented by the Managing Director Ms Ellen Fraatz, Kastanienallee 75, 10435 Berlin, Germany.
3. The goods will be sent to the address supplied by the customer. No purchase contract is concluded for goods which are ordered but not included in the delivery.
4. Goods are only delivered in the usual amounts for sale to end customers.
§ 3 Cancellation
The legal regulations regarding cancellation shall apply. Please note that, as per § 312 d para. 4 nr. 2 BGB (German Civil Code), cancellation is excluded by law for audio or video recordings if the seal has been broken on the delivered data carriers. In addition, as per § 312 d para. 4 nr. 1 BGB (German Civil Code), there is no right of cancellation for deliveries of goods which are unsuitable for return due to their condition.
§ 4 Delivery, postage costs
1. Unless otherwise agreed, delivery will be made, subject to change, from the BPitch warehouse to the delivery address provided by the customer. Additional costs which arise because the customer or another person willing to accept the delivery is not present at the delivery address supplied at the time of delivery will be incurred by the customer.
2. BPitch Control bears the risk of loss in the course of transit, which means that BPitch is free first of any liability once the goods to be delivered are handed over to the person making the delivery.
3. During the order process, when you confirm your order and in the delivery confirmation we state the binding postage costs that will be due for the delivery option you have selected. BPitch points out that any information on delivery times on our website is non-binding.

3. Should the customer be in default of payment, BPitch has the right to claim default interest at 5.00% above the European Central Bank base rate per year.

The customer retains the right to demonstrate that the damages incurred are smaller or that no damages have been incurred.

If you are unable or only partly able to return the product/service received or are only able to return it in a deteriorated condition, you may where necessary be under obligation to pay us compensation.

You shall incur the cost of returning the goods if the delivered goods correspond to those ordered and if the price of the goods to be returned does not exceed EUR 40 or where – in the case of more expensive goods – no consideration or a contractually agreed partial payment has been rendered at the time of cancellation.
