1) Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Chauhdry Food Traders GmbH (hereinafter "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that an entrepreneur (hereinafter "Customer") has with the Seller with regard to the seller in his goods presented in the online shop. The inclusion of the customer's own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless something else has been agreed.

1.2 These General Terms and Conditions also apply exclusively if the seller carries out the delivery to the customer without any special reservations, while being aware of conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the customer.

1.3 Entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 After payment and a binding request, each order is checked for availability in the warehouse and the customer is then informed if a product is not available. If the performance of the service is only partially possible, the customer will be reimbursed the difference in the amount of the order from the seller.

2.1.1 The product descriptions presented in the seller's online shop do not represent binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to enable the customer to submit a binding offer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods and/or services in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer with regard to the goods and/or services contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process . Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by telephone, fax, e-mail, post or using the online contact form.

2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days,

- by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or

- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or

- by asking the customer to pay after placing his order, or

- if payment by direct debit is offered and the customer opts for this payment method by collecting the total price from the customer's bank account, whereby the point in time at which the customer's account is debited is decisive.

If there are several of the above alternatives, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the above alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer has sent the offer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 If you select a payment method offered by PayPal, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua /useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the conditions for payments without a PayPal account, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax- full.

An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks on the button that concludes the ordering process.
