​

1.2 The Seller’s deliveries, services and offers shall be carried out exclusively on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions in the version valid at the time of conclusion of the contract, even if the offer is accessed from outside the Federal Republic of Germany. The Seller does not recognize any conflicting or deviating General Terms and Conditions and hereby expressly contradicts them. Conflicting General Terms and Conditions of the Buyer shall only be taken as a basis for the contract if the Seller expressly agrees to them in writing.

​

1.3 Buyers can be both consumers and entrepreneurs. According to § 13 BGB, a „consumer“ within the sense of the following provisions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot be ascribed to either a commercial or independent professional activity. Consumers can buy coffee through the online store of the seller, whereas the entrepreneurs must contact the Seller directly.

2 Registration and Conclusion of the Contract​

2.1 The Buyer has the option to create a customer account at Kaffee La Finca. However, such a customer account is not a prerequisite for the Buyer to be able to place orders. To create a customer account, the Buyer enters their email address into the registration form, and clicks on „Get a Link“. The Sign In Link Feature avoids to customer to manage password, a link will be sent each time to its email address.

​

​

2.3 The offer of the Buyer to conclude a purchase contract is understood as the sending of the order by the Buyer. By ordering the goods, the Buyer makes a binding declaration that they wish to purchase the ordered goods. The Buyer places an order as follows: after placing the desired goods in the shopping cart and entering the data required to process the order on the next page, and then selecting the payment method on the subsequent page, the final page of the ordering process provides an overview of the order. Here the Buyer has the opportunity to change the order and the information provided and to correct any input errors. By clicking on the „Buy Now“ button, the Buyer submits their order bindingly.

​

2.4 The contract shall come into effect with the sending of a confirmation of receipt of the order via email.

​

2.5 As some of the goods are natural, exclusive and limited in availability, the Seller reserves the right to limit the delivery quantities for bulk orders if necessary or to deliver them in multiple packages.

​

2.6 If a contract has been concluded but ordered items will not be available from the Seller’s supplier in the foreseeable future despite a timely covering transaction, the Seller reserves the right to withdraw insofar from the contract. If the Seller becomes aware of this, he will inform the buyer immediately and refund any payments already made.

​

​

3 Delivery, Dispatch and Transfer of Risk​

3.1 Cases of force majeure, traffic or operational disruptions, strikes and the like shall lead to an appropriate extension of the delivery period. Should the causes of the delay last longer than four weeks after conclusion of the contract, each party shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract.

6 Promotional coupons

The following conditions apply to Kaffee La Finca promotional coupons: Kaffee La Finca coupons for goods can be redeemed for all products uploaded on the website unless the redemption of the coupons has been excluded on the campaign overview or product overview page or unless the campaign involves ordering via the website of a third party; such is expressly indicated in either instance.

 

The purchase price of the products ordered must at least equal the value of the coupon, unless otherwise indicated at the time the coupon is issued.

Promotional coupons are provided in the form of codes made available to you personally. Usually, codes expire once they have been used. The period of validity and/or minimum order value or other conditions are determined by Kaffee La Finca and announced as part of the corresponding promotion.

 

In this case, the minimum order value refers to the purchase price, including value-added tax. Only one Kaffee La Finca coupon can be used per order and several coupons may not be combined.

 

If you cancel the purchase of an item for which you have used a coupon, the coupon amount will not be reimbursed and the coupon cannot be used again. This does not apply if you have obtained the coupon directly from Kaffee La Finca against payment.

 

Kaffee La Finca coupons cannot be paid out in cash or attract interest. All coupons are personally issued to a member and cannot be transferred to third parties. Where Kaffee La Finca becomes aware of the transfer of a coupon, Kaffee La Finca reserves the right to declare the corresponding coupon invalid. Where Kaffee La Finca has indicated that the coupon is valid only for new customers, such a coupon will only be issued when a person registers as a member of Kaffee La Finca for the first time. With the exception of a loss of a coupon for which Kaffee La Finca is responsible, Kaffee La Finca does not accept liability for the loss or theft of any coupon.

 

Replacement coupons are only issued when Kaffee La Finca is liable for the loss of the coupon. The shop regulations may contain further conditions or restrictions for the redemption of promotion coupons; alternatively such conditions or restrictions may be indicated when issuing the coupon.
