§ 1 Scope of application, definitions
(1) For the business relationship between Wildling Shoes and the customers mentioned in paragraph 2 - hereinafter referred to as "you" - the following General Terms and Conditions exclusively apply in the version valid at the time of the order. This applies to orders placed via the online store (https://www.wildling.shoes/) as well as to purchases made in one of our showrooms, in the warehouse store, in a pop-up store or at an event. If you have differing terms and conditions, Wildling Shoes does not accept them unless Wildling Shoes explicitly gives consent in writing.
(2) The offer by Wildling Shoes is exclusively directed towards consumers. You are a consumer if the purpose of the ordered products and services cannot be predominantly attributed to your commercial or self-employed professional activity. On the other hand, an entrepreneur is any person or legal entity or other company with legal capacity that would act within their commercial or independent professional activity when concluding the contract.
(3) Wildling Shoes sells shoes exclusively through its own homepages or its own showrooms, stores and at events. If there are commercial sales offers of third parties for Wildling new products, Wildling Shoes hereby informs you that such offers are neither permitted nor promoted nor approved by Wildling Shoes and that there is no connection to Wildling Shoes.
§ 2 Conclusion of contract in the online store
(1) In the online store at https://www.wildling.shoes/ ("Online Store") you can select products from the assortment of Wildling Shoes, especially minimal shoes and matching accessories, and collect them in a so-called shopping cart by clicking the button "add to cart". By clicking the button "Complete order" you make a binding offer to purchase the goods in the shopping cart applying these terms and conditions. Before submitting the order you can change and view your order data at any time.
(2) If you use one of the direct payment buttons (e.g. PayPal or Amazon Pay) in the shopping cart or the express checkout in the checkout area, you will be redirected to the login page of the respective payment provider. You complete the payment and in some cases - depending on the payment provider - also the purchase there.
(3) Wildling Shoes will then send you an automatic order confirmation by e-mail, in which your order is listed again and which you can print out using the "Print" function of your terminal device. This automatic order confirmation only confirms that Wildling Shoes has received your order and does not constitute an acceptance of your contractual offer. The contract is concluded only when Wildling Shoes issues a declaration of acceptance. This will be sent in the form of the shipping confirmation by e-mail as soon as the goods have been handed over to the transport company. In this e-mail the text of the contract (consisting of order, terms and conditions and order confirmation) will be sent to you by Wildling Shoes on a durable medium (e-mail) and constitutes the contract confirmation. The contract text will be stored in compliance with data protection.
§ 2a Conclusion of contract in Live Shopping
Wildling Shoes Live Shopping is an invitation to participate in a purchase consultation or other information event about Wildling Shoes via video conference. If you participate in the Wildling Shoes Live Shopping, you have the possibility to click on displayed products within the video conference.

§ 9 Withdrawal from the purchase contract
(1) Cancellation policy
Consumers have a legal right of withdrawal when concluding a distance selling transaction. Below you will find a brief explanation of your right of withdrawal (a), the consequences of withdrawal (b) and a sample withdrawal form (c).
a) Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from the contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods.
To exercise your right of withdrawal you must inform Wildling Shoes (Wildling Shoes GmbH, Kölner Str. 45, 51766 Engelskirchen, Germany, hello@wildling.shoes, Phone: +49 (0)2266 459536) by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by mail, an e-mail or a message via the contact form) about your decision to withdraw from the contract. You can use the attached sample withdrawal form, which is not mandatory.
To comply with the withdrawal period it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.
b) Consequences of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract Wildling Shoes shall refund to you all payments it has received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by Wildling Shoes) without undue delay and no later than within fourteen days from the day on which Wildling Shoes has received the notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this repayment, Wildling Shoes will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees because of this repayment. Wildling Shoes may refuse repayment until Wildling Shoes has received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is earlier.
You must return the goods without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify Wildling Shoes of the withdrawal from this contract to
Wildling Shoes GmbH, Kölner Str. 45, D-51766 Engelskirchen, Germany.
The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiration of the period of fourteen days. You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods. You only have to pay for a possible loss of value of the goods if such loss of value is due to a handling of the goods that is not necessary for the examination of the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.
c) Sample withdrawal form

The shipping costs paid in the Online Store will be refunded when you return the complete order.
§ 10 Final provisions
(1) Contracts between Wildling Shoes and you are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any international private law provisions. Mandatory statutory provisions on the limitation of the choice of law and on the applicability of provisions, in particular of the state in which you have your habitual residence as a consumer, remain unaffected.
(2) If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between you and Wildling Shoes is the registered office of Wildling Shoes.
(3) The contract remains binding in its remaining parts even if individual points are legally invalid. Instead of the ineffective points, the legal provisions, if any, shall apply. As far as this would represent an unreasonable hardship for one of the contracting parties, however, the contract as a whole becomes ineffective.
