Terms and Conditions


1. Scope

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all orders for products from the online shop www.sonnenberg.berlin in their current version, which can be accessed under the heading Home/AGB.

Conditions that conflict with or deviate from these General Terms and Conditions do not form part of agreements concluded via the online shop, unless these conditions are expressly confirmed in writing by SONNENBERG.BERLIN.

2. Conclusion of the contract in the online shop

The presentation of the goods in the online shop does not yet represent a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract. Only by ordering the desired goods do you make a binding offer to conclude a contract.

Orders can be placed with SONNENBERG.BERLIN via the website www.sonnenberg.berlin, by e-mail or by telephone. In the case of written orders without specifying the method of payment, SONNENBERG.BERLIN reserves the right to send the goods cash on delivery.

After receipt of your offer, a confirmation of receipt of the offer will be sent to the customer immediately, which does not yet represent acceptance of the same. In the confirmation e-mail, you will see the data you provided when ordering before the order process was completed. If you have created a customer account, you can still make changes to the delivery address, billing address and your personal data. The order itself can no longer be changed.

Your offer to conclude a contract is accepted by a separate e-mail (order confirmation) or by sending the goods. If you have not received an order confirmation or notification of delivery or any goods within 14 days, you are no longer bound by your contract offer. Any services already provided will be reimbursed immediately in this case. Your statutory right of withdrawal according to Section 3 remains unaffected.

All information (product descriptions, illustrations, dimensions, weights, specifications and other information) in our online shop are information from the respective manufacturer, are subject to error and do not represent any guarantee of properties. The representations on the SONNENBERG website are also .BERLIN non-binding. Depending on the screen setting, the illustrations may differ slightly from the actual shapes and colors of the goods.

There is no entitlement to the conclusion of a contract and/or registration as a user of this website. Any offer to conclude a contract can be rejected without giving reasons.

You have the option to change or adjust the subscription at any time in your customer account area.
