Ordering process, conclusion of contract, quantity limitation, commercial resale
1. Ordering process
ViaLym offers its customers a range of feed supplements for horses and pets. By clicking on the products or the article names, the customer can access the product details, e.g. the product's features, size or ingredients. By setting the desired quantity and clicking on the shopping cart symbol, the product is placed in a virtual shopping cart.
By clicking on the “Shopping cart” button at the top right of the online store, the customer is taken to an overview page and can check which products are in their virtual shopping cart at any time and make changes if necessary.
If the customer wishes to complete their purchase, they can continue via the “Proceed to order/checkout” button. Customers who are already registered can enter their user name and password here to automatically use their saved information for the order. Alternatively, the customer can register as a new customer and create a customer account or continue shopping without creating a customer account. In this case, the customer must enter their address and billing information on the following page.
By clicking on the “Continue” button again, the customer reaches the penultimate order step
“Preview”. Here the customer receives a summary of their order, stating the price (including VAT) and details of the delivery service and costs.
The order is completed by clicking on the “Buy” button. This constitutes a binding offer.
Vialym does not charge any fees for the use of remote communication systems, but the customer may incur the usual costs for the use of these services vis-à-vis third parties (e.g. mobile phone operators, Internet providers).
2. Conclusion of contract
a. The goods offered in the store are sold exclusively to non-commercial persons, i.e. only to consumers who conclude the legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity. The offers appearing on our website www.vialym.com are therefore not aimed at companies. Entrepreneurs are natural or legal persons or partnerships with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, are acting in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
b. The presentations of the product range in the online store are for illustrative purposes and do not constitute binding offers for sale. The customer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract by completing the order process by clicking on the “Buy” button. The customer then receives an automated confirmation of receipt of the order by email (order confirmation). This order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the offer. The contract with vialym is only concluded when vialym declares acceptance of the offer. The declaration of acceptance of the offer shall be deemed to have been made if vialym confirms shipment to the customer by e-mail within five working days of receipt of the order (confirmation of shipment). If the customer does not receive a shipping confirmation within the aforementioned period, a contract with vialym shall not be concluded.
c. The contract language is German.
3. Text of the contract
The text of the contract shall be stored by us until the order has been fully processed, after which it shall be archived for retention under tax and commercial law. Upon receipt of the order by vialym, the customer shall receive a separate confirmation e-mail from vialym containing the essential contents of the contract, including the General Terms and Conditions valid at the time of the contract. Should you lose your order documents, please contact us by email. We will be happy to send you a copy of your order details.
4. Quantity limit, maximum order value, commercial resale
The goods on offer are only sold in normal household quantities and only to persons of legal age. vialym reserves the right to take legal action if the customer is deceived. The maximum permissible order value is €1,900. The commercial resale of goods is not permitted. Vialym reserves the right not to accept contractual offers that give the impression of being made for the purpose of commercial resale of the goods.
3 Prices and shipping costs
All prices include VAT and other price components and do not include any shipping costs.
The shipping costs for our delivery countries can be found in our country information. If you order products from vialym for delivery outside the EU, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges. Customs regulations vary greatly from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for more information.
4. Delivery
Deliveries are only made in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Unless otherwise stated in the offer, the delivery time is 3-5 working days. The delivery period begins on the day after the contract is concluded, except in the case of advance payment: here the period begins on the day after the payment order is issued. If the last day of the period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday recognized at the place of delivery, the period is automatically extended to the next working day.
Information on delivery and shipping conditions is available here.
If not all products ordered are in stock, vialym shall be entitled to make partial deliveries at its own expense, provided this is reasonable for the customer.
In the event that vialym is unable to deliver the ordered product because vialym itself is not supplied by its suppliers through no fault of its own, vialym may withdraw from the contract. In this case, vialym shall inform the customer immediately and suggest a comparable product. If no comparable product is available or if the customer does not wish to receive such product, vialym shall immediately reimburse any consideration already paid by the customer.
Delivery within the EU is duty-free. For deliveries to countries outside the EU, the customer is responsible for any customs duties, taxes and other fees.
If delivered items are damaged in transit, ViaLym's customer service department must be notified immediately if possible. This will give ViaLym the opportunity to file a claim with the carrier or the transport insurance company. If the customer fails to notify ViaLym of damage in transit, this shall have no effect on the customer's statutory warranty rights.
In order to fulfill orders in the best possible way and to keep our customers optimally informed about the shipping status, ViaLym provides the respective delivery companies with the e-mail address and - if specified - the telephone number of the customer (in the case of forwarding deliveries). ViaLym considers both the interests of the customer and its own interests to be in a balanced relationship with each other, especially as the delivery companies have undertaken to protect personal data to the highest degree and use the data exclusively for the purpose of shipping information. Further information on this can also be found in our data protection information.
