Terms & Conditions

1. Application of the Terms and Conditions
The following General Terms and Conditions shall exclusively apply including where the frost webshop is accessed from outside of the Federal Republic of Germany. Differing General Terms and Conditions of the customer will not become an integral part of the agreement even without an express objection by frost and even in the event of delivery by us.

2. Offer, Order confirmation, Selection of goods, Storage of the order text
2.1. Any offering in the frost webshop represents a non-binding invitation to order goods. By ordering, which is performed by clicking the “Buy” button, the customer will submit a binding offer to enter into a purchase agreement. frost shall be entitled to accept the customer’s offer within a period of one week. The order confirmation that is sent automatically by frost after the dispatch of the order serves only to document that the customer’s order has been received by frost, but does not represent acceptance of the customer’s offer. A contract is deemed only to have been concluded after frost has issued a declaration of acceptance, which is sent in a further separate email (order confirmation or shipping confirmation), at the latest, however, by the dispatch of the order.

2.2. The customer shall exclusively be responsible for the selection of the ordered goods, unless the order relates to a consultancy service to be compensated separately with a corresponding purchase recommendation from frost in writing.

2.3. frost expressly reserves the right to make changes to the models or structures for deliveries within a contract, as long as such changes are not of a fundamental nature, do not significantly limit the contractual purpose and there is no unreasonable detrimental effect on the customer’s interests.

2.4. The order text will not be saved by frost and can no longer be retrieved after completion of the order process. The ordering process information will be transmitted to the customer again with the email confirmation of the order, allowing the customer to print out the order data immediately after submission of the order.

3. Delivery times, Withdrawal, Damage caused by delay, Partial deliveries

3.1. The goods will be delivered in 1 to 3 business days within Germany and within 2 to 6 business days in other European countries.

3.2. Delivery is performed by sending the product to an address specified by the customer. The customer warrants and represents that the complete and correct delivery address has been supplied with the order. If additional delivery costs are incurred as a result of incorrect delivery address data, the customer is to refund these to frost. The customer will be obligated to ensure that delivery of the ordered goods to the stated address is possible during regular business and delivery hours.

3.3. Delivery times can only be observed if the customer has complied with his or her obligations (for example, advance payment, complete and accurate delivery address, etc.).

3.4. If frost fails to observe delivery deadlines, the customer is to set frost an appropriate grace period in writing, which is to commence upon receipt by frost of the setting of the grace period. The customer will only be entitled to withdraw from the contract after the grace period has expired without any result. Withdrawal by the customer from the entire agreement as a result of partial delay or partial impossibility is only permitted if the partial service already performed for the customer can be proven to be of no interest to the customer.

3.5. Even in case of agreed periods and deadlines, frost shall not be responsible for delivery and service delays as a result of force majeure. Force majeure shall be deemed to be war, riot, interferences of higher authority, industrial dispute measures, strike or lock-out, lack of raw materials or energy, as well as unavoidable operational or transport interruptions, such as power failures, fire, flooding, or the adverse effects of weather impairing transportation. This shall apply even where the aforementioned conditions occur at the subcontractors of frost or where frost is not supplied by the subcontractors despite appropriate contracts that would have covered the requirement incurred by the agreement with the customer. In such event, frost shall be entitled to postpone the delivery or service by the period of the hindrance plus a reasonable start-up period or to withdraw in whole or in part from the agreement as a result of the part not yet fulfilled.

3.6. frost shall be entitled to make partial deliveries and perform partial services at any time as long as this is reasonable for the customer.

5.2. In the event of payment by credit card (VISA, American Express and MasterCard) the data will be transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encoding technology to B+S Card Service GmbH in Frankfurt a.M.  The customer will be charged the purchase price when the order is accepted. The transfer of data may take several minutes and must not be interrupted by the customer, e.g. by means of updating the browser page. Otherwise, this may lead to the credit card being charged twice. frost will issue refunds in justified cases within a maximum of 14 days of the reporting of any duplicate transactions to frost by the customer. Any costs incurred as a result of chargebacks initiated by the customer shall be passed on to the customer. In the event of credit card chargebacks that are not justified, a processing fee (usually 25.00 Euro) shall be charged. frost shall pass this fee on to the customer accordingly.

7. Warranty

7.1. If the purchased product is defective, the customer is entitled to claims due to defects during the statutory period of limitation.

This does not include any claims relating to death, personal injury or impaired health on the basis of a negligent breach of duty by frost or an intentional or negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of frost.

7.3. If usage and maintenance advice issued by frost is not followed, if the products are modified, parts are exchanged, or consumables are used that do not comply with the original specifications, or if interventions are performed on parts for which this is not expressly authorized, the warranty will not apply if defects have arisen as a result of the aforementioned.

7.4. The customer’s claims based on defects remain unaffected in the event of the existence of a warranty for the ordered goods.
