Depending on the type of registration (type of customer private – company (sales tax identification code), tax territory) prices a re given with or without value added tax. The prices are quoted ex stock Plauen plus shipping costs. Shipping costs are calculated depending on the weight of the items in the cart as well as the delivery address and the shipping method currently selected. Special deliveries caused by special items (bulkiness, weight, delivery from special warehouse or directly from manufacturer) can be shipped by alternative parcel services (such as DHL) without any extra charges and without prior notice. Every product has its own weight which is stored in the database (you cannot view it). All terms of delivery of our shipping partners concerning the products currently in your cart as well as their weights are provided in the Shop database (for all countries). To calculate and view the shipping costs the items have to be placed in the Shop cart using the cart/discount symbol in the respective product detail view.

It is particularly for deliveries abroad (third countries) that big differences in the conditions of the available shipping methods occur.

Deliveries to non-EU countries are always delivered duty-unpaid, the shipping costs do not include any customs duties.

Our shipping costs do NOT include any CUSTOMS DUTIES or any OTHER CHARGES in the import country of third countries. In general, these have to be paid additionally by the customers themselves and DHL has to be contacted to inquire about these costs for the respective country! Costs may be very different here. Our contract partner DHL is obliged to charge the customers all these fees and transfer them to the public authorities. That means every customer has to check IN ADVANCE how high these fees for the respective product tariff group in the country of destination are. The customs duties and import regulations in the countries outside customs frontiers are very different. It is only the recipient country or the customs authorities that can give detailed information about invoicing.

Products with a delivery time of < 3 working days (1, 1-2, 1-3 working days) are available immediately. Items with a delivery time of more than 3 working days (Mo – Fri, except holidays) in the product detail view are items that must be ordered, produced on demand or delivered directly from the manufacturer’s warehouse and can be delivered within 3 – 10 working days (according to the information given in the product detail view). It is possible that certain product groups are only produced by the manufacturers upon request. The given delivery time is just an approximate value that is specified more precisely in the Acknowledgement of order and Confirmation of the delivery date.
Since our General Terms of Sale fix that we dispatch only complete orders, individual products might cause a delivery delay. We will inform you about this in our Acknowledgement of order and the Confirmation of the delivery date.

11. Complaints, warranty, liability
For consumers:
In consumer trade the legal regulations are valid. Guarantee is granted in accordance with the legal regulations. For all faults occurring during the guarantee period of two years after delivery you have the legal right to subsequent fulfilment (either repair or replacement) and, if certain legal preconditions are fulfilled, the right to a reduction or withdrawal as well as an additional payment of damages. You have to grant us one attempt to make up for the fault (within an appropriate period). If the type of subsequent fulfilment you choose can only be realized with unreasonably high costs for us, you will only be entitled to the other type of fulfilment. For information about any additional manufacturer guarantee please refer to the product information.
For merchants:
For complaints made by merchants the legal regulations stipulated in the Commercial Code are valid. The customer is obliged to permit us check the defective goods. If we delivered a faulty product, the customer has the right to demand repair or replacement. Only after repair or the first replacement delivery have failed, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract (withdrawal) or to demand a price reduction (reduction). However, in case of subsequent fulfillment the customer is obliged to give the faulty component back and to pay for its use until its return. Legitimate returns are at our risk. We will also bear the costs for the delivery of the new component.
General:
We cannot accept warranty claims for damages caused by inappropriate or false application, wrong or faulty installation, implementation, operation, maintenance or normal wear, by careless or wrong handling, the use of unsuitable tools, chemical or electrochemical or electrical influences, non-respect of the assembly, operating and maintenance instructions as well as by unauthorized modifications and repair.

13. Battery-/Accumulator Disposal
The delivery often includes batteries used e.g. for remote controls or other electric devices. Even in the appliances themselves batteries or accumulators may be installed. Manufacturers and importers listed at eibmarkt.com have registered in a national manufacturers' register with regard to their product liability. Selling these batteries or accumulators, we as dealers/distributors are obliged according to the Battery Law to inform our customers of the following:
Please dispose of old batteries as stipulated by the law! Putting them in the household garbage is strictly prohibited by the Battery Law! Batteries can be disposed of at a central place in your community or you may give them back to the point-of-sale where you bought them free of charge. As end user you are obliged by the law to return the old batteries. Batteries/accumulators that contain harmful substances are marked by a symbol showing a crossed garbage can.
Below the garbage can symbol there is the chemical symbol of the harmful substance, e.g. "Cd" for Cadmium. "Pb" stands for lead, "Hg" for mercury. You will find these hints again in the documents accompanying the goods or the operating instructions of the manufacturer.
14. Sales tax identification number VAT-ID (EU)
Furthermore, as an option, companies within the EU can enter their sales tax identification number to make the system check the sales tax ID automatically online. Is the code correct, prices are given as net prices without sales tax and provided as basis for further order handling. After a successful sales code identification, the system will ask you to enter your company name. However, there will always be a second verification before the acknowledgement of order and confirmation of delivery date are sent.
If required we will ask additional questions as to the recipient of the goods or their representatives. To fulfil our obligation to supervise and exercise due care we do have to record the given data. Indicating the sales tax identification number the authorized customer. If additional questions about the sales tax identification number are not answered the invoice will be made out including value added tax.
15. Legal regulations on packaging
Basic principles of waste management
The regulation on packaging stipulates the following waste management principles:
1. It is a priority to avoid packaging waste.
2. If packaging waste cannot be avoided, reuse or recycling should be preferred before energy recovery or disposal.
Packages are a firm part of almost all products. The packages are developed by the manufacturer for the specific appliance and thus generally perfectly suited for packet transport. In case you have to return your appliance during the guarantee period or even after it for service purposes the original packaging provides the best protection against transport damage. Thus, we recommend to keep the original packaging as long as you keep the appliances. Each return of empty packaging materials means additional transport expenditure and also additional environmental pollution.
What is the regulation on packaging?
Due to the increasing amount of waste and decreasing landfill capacities, the government passed the regulation on packaging. It is the aim of the regulation to avoid or to reduce the impact of packaging waste on the environment. The regulation is meant for manufacturers and sellers of sales packaging. According to the regulation these parties are obliged to take their used packages back and to send them to recycling and to prove this.
What does this mean for you as a consumer?
All packages marked with a green dot symbol or any other recycling symbol authorized by law can be given to the waste paper collection that means to the place where you dispose of e.g. old newspapers. Materials that are typical for packaging and that are not made of paper like adhesive tape, labels or a small percentage of foil do not interfere with the recycling process. We do not take back packaging marked with the above recycling symbols. For all other packages (e.g. one-way pallets or covering boxes that are not marked by one of the above symbols) we are obliged, according to the regulation on packaging, to take them back and take care that they are either recycled or reused. If required, please contact us using the known ways of contact. We will inform you of a collection point in your community or a waste management company near your place where you can deliver the packages free of charge. If, for once, this is not possible near your place, please return the packages by normal mail to:
Zignux Technology
Avda. Punto Com, 2
28805 Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) - Spain
Note:
Each return of empty packages requires an additional transport expenditure and, thus, causes additional environmental pollution.
Return or disposal on site?
It might be advisable in individual cases to give the packages back immediately or with the next delivery to a supplier who would otherwise return with an empty lorry. However, generally the goods are hardly ever unpacked immediately upon receipt nor does the lorry usually return empty. So, in most cases it is recommended to avoid the unnecessary transport of empty packages and to send them to a recycling company located as close to your place as possible. Unless packaging waste can be avoided priority should be given to reuse and material recycling in particular.
16. Place of fulfillment, place of jurisdiction
Place of fulfillment and exclusive jurisdiction for payments and all conflicts arising between the parties whether they are merchants or public corporations is Madrid. The relations between the contractual partners are regulated exclusively according to Spanish Law.
