GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (AGBs)
General
The following General Terms and Conditions (GTC) govern the contractual relationship between SILO GbR (hereinafter referred to as SILO), represented by the two shareholders Silke Bücker and Barbara Markert, and their clients and buyers. The GTC apply to the use of the SILO website and all subdomains belonging to this domain plus deliveries and services arising in the normal business relationship between SILO and its clients and users. The version valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract shall be authoritative in each case.
Purchasers and clients within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions are natural persons who enter into a business relationship with SILO without this being attributable to their commercial or independent professional activity.
Conclusion of Contract
The offers in the brick-and-mortar shop as well as on the e-shop of SILO's Instagram account constitute a non-binding invitation to the buyer to purchase or order goods. In the normal sales process, SILO acts as a commission agent, i.e. on behalf of and as an authorised representative of the seller/owner of the goods under private law. Trading takes place in the SILO's own name and for the account of a third party. In exceptional cases, SILO may also offer its own items or items from commercial sellers on the website. These shall be marked accordingly.
Products are sold for private use only. In the e-Shop, the purchase is made via a private exchange between the purchaser and SILO. If the purchaser accepts the offer, he/she will receive an order confirmation by e-mail, which will set the deadline for payment. In the event of non-payment, the offer shall be deemed to have been rejected. The conclusion of the contract becomes null and void.
Prices
The prices published on price labels in our stationary boutique or in the e-shop are stated in EURO. The prices represent final prices including VAT. Shipping costs are not included.
Minimum order value
There is no minimum order value.
Delivery areas
SILO ships goods exclusively to countries in the European Community (EU). By arrangement, deliveries to other European countries that are not part of the EU can be accepted.
Delivery time
The delivery time within Germany is usually 2-5 working days after receipt of the purchase price. International deliveries within Europe may take longer depending on the country. The shipping address should be chosen so that the package can be delivered during the day.
Shipping costs
The buyer is responsible for shipping costs. The costs of delivery are calculated according to weight and destination in accordance with the currently applicable scale of charges of Deutsche Post/DHL. SILO shall inform the purchaser in advance of the expected costs. During the checkout process in the e-Shop, the purchaser may assert his right to collect the goods himself in the shop.
Shipping partner
Deliveries are sent by Deutsche Post/DHL during normal working hours on working days.
Payment, due date, default of payment
Payment for goods is made in the shop by cash, EC/Girocard or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, V Pay, American Express). Deliveries in the e-Shop are only made by prepayment via PayPal or bank transfer. Items purchased online can also be collected from the boutique using the means of payment mentioned above. Items ordered and not yet prepaid must be collected from the boutique within 5 working days, otherwise they will be released for sale again. When paying in advance for goods from the e-Shop, the purchaser undertakes to transfer the purchase price within 5 working days after conclusion of the contract to the following account of SILO GbR at Deutsche Bank: IBAN DE48 3707 0024 0227 7986 00, BIC DEUTDEDBKOE.
Ownership
The object of purchase shall remain the property of SILO and the property of the principal until payment has been made in full.
Complaints
Complaints due to defects not disclosed in the product description or in the customer discussion or due to incomplete or incorrect delivery shall be notified to us in writing by e-mail or letter without delay, but no later than 72 hours after receipt of the goods. The same deadline applies in the event of doubts about the brand authenticity of a product.
Right of revocation and return
There is no legal right of revocation or return due to dissatisfaction or problems with fit for goods purchased on commission in bricks-and-mortar stores. The same applies to goods ordered in the e-shop that are offered as goods on consignment by private sellers within the meaning of §13 of the German Civil Code (normal case for SILO). The 14-day right of revocation and return customary in online commerce shall apply exclusively to goods from commercial sellers that are identified as such by SILO.
Items purchased and ordered online will only be taken back against reimbursement of the purchase price in the event of damage that clearly reduces the use of the goods, which was neither described in the product description nor addressed in the customer conversation. In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us by means of a written statement (e.g. letter sent by post or e-mail) within 48 hours.
Consequences of the revocation
If the contract is cancelled, we will refund at most the purchase price of the item. Subsequent costs or shipping costs already incurred or necessary for the return are not refundable. For the reversal, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction. The refund will only be made once the goods have been returned to SILO. You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any case no later than 48 hours from the day on which you notify us of the cancellation of this contract. You shall be liable for any loss in value of the goods if such loss in value is due to any deterioration of the goods caused by you through improper use.
Compensation
Claims for damages due to errors in illustrations and texts or due to late delivery and non-delivery remain strictly excluded. The colour of the products illustrated in the online shop may differ from the actual product colour.
General terms and conditions for consignment clients of SILO GbR
Subject matter of the contract
A consignment contract shall be concluded between the principal and SILO GbR as commission agent.
The consignment client shall hand over the goods on commission to SILO GbR for sale and, by accepting the General Terms and Conditions, assures that the goods on commission are his/her unrestricted property and free of third-party rights.
After the expiry of the consignment contract, SILO shall take custody of the goods on commission for 30 days in accordance with the following provision.
Duration of the Commission Contract
The commission contract begins with SILO's acceptance of the goods on commission and lasts for 90 days for non-seasonal articles. For seasonal items (e.g. swimming costumes, winter hats, winter coats, summer dresses), a longer commission contract may be agreed between the commission agent and SILO. This will be recorded in the commission form. After expiry of the commission period, the commission contract ends automatically.
Ordinary termination of the contract and custody period
From the end of the commission period mentioned above, SILO will take custody of unsold commission goods for a period of 30 days (custody agreement). The consignment client undertakes to collect unsold commission goods within this 30-day custody period. Collection is only possible by prior appointment.
Non-collection during the custody period
If the goods on consignment are not collected during the term of the custody agreement, the items shall become the property of SILO without the principal receiving any financial compensation. SILO is not obliged to inform the consignement client of this fact.
Collection or reclaiming of goods during the commission contract
The consignement client may terminate the commission contract prematurely during the term of the contract without giving reasons, provided that the goods on commission have not yet been sold or reserved at the time of termination. Termination after the sale or reservation of the goods on commission is excluded. In the event of premature termination of the commission contract, SILO shall charge a flat-rate expense allowance of EUR 50 per recalled piece of commissioned goods.
Condition of the goods on commission
The goods on consignment must be clean, in good working order and without any defects that would impair their function. Obvious or deliberate defects must be reported by the consignement client at the time of handover.
Authenticity
The consignement client undertakes that the goods handed over to SILO on consignment are authentic. This means that the branded goods are "genuine", i.e. neither a plagiarism nor an imitation (replica). If proof of authenticity exists, such as invoices or cards with serial numbers, these must be handed over to SILO for resale. These certificates of authenticity will be passed on with the goods to the future owner. Furthermore, SILO is entitled to investigate any doubts regarding authenticity. Any costs for the certificate of authenticity will be added to the sales price and must be reimbursed by the consignement client to SILO against invoice in the event of non-sale. In this case, the new certificate of authenticity will be handed over to the consignement client upon return of the goods. The consignement client shall be liable for all claims under civil law that may arise from the sale of non-authentic products.
The consignement client also undertakes to state if a product has already been purchased by him/her as second-hand goods.
Defect detection after goods acceptance
After acceptance of the goods, SILO subjects the commissioned goods to a detailed quality and authenticity check as well as a defect check. If defects are discovered that were not detected at first glance upon acceptance, these are documented on the commission form and communicated to the consignement client. In consultation, the two parties agree whether the goods will be transferred to the commission business at a reduced sales price or whether the commission contract will be terminated. In this case, the consignement client must collect the goods within one week (7 days).
Pricing
SILO shall endeavour to achieve the best possible sales price for the goods on commission in line with the market. Pricing is based on expertise, market research and experience.
If the consignement client does not have any ideas about the selling price when handing over the goods on consignment, SILO is free to set a price at its own discretion and without consulting the consignement client. If the consignement client expresses a desired minimum revenue, this will be taken into account in the pricing and recorded in writing in the commission form. If the fixed sales price exceeds the desired minimum proceeds, the goods will be released for sale without further consultation with the consignement client.
If the sales price falls below the desired minimum proceeds, SILO will contact the consignement client for consultation. In this case, the consignement client has the right to withdraw from the commission contract within one week (7 days) and must collect his goods. If the goods on consignment are already registered with SILO, an expense allowance of 10 euros per product may be charged in this case. If the commission taker does not react or does not collect the goods within the deadline, the goods on commission will be put on sale at the price set by SILO.
Settlement of the commission business
SILO executes the commission business in its own name for the account of the consignement client. The sale may be conducted via the stationary trade and/or the e-shop (Instagram). SILO is free to determine the sales channel without consulting the consignement client.
The consignement client shall be entitled to the following commission shares of the gross sales proceeds - subject to other agreements in individual cases, which shall be recorded in writing on the commission form:
Sales price |
Consignement client |
SILO |
up to 500 € |
55 % |
45 % |
501- 1000 € |
60 % |
40 % |
from 1001 € |
70 % |
30 % |
Warranty
In the event of damage to the goods on consignment and the associated reduction in value, theft and burglary, SILO shall be liable for 50% of the commission share of the sales proceeds to which the consignement client is entitled. No liability shall be assumed in the event of force majeure.
Legal validity of the commission contract
By signing and handing over the goods on consignment, the consignement client confirms that he/she has been informed about the GTC and that he/she has read, understood and accepted them. Upon request, the consignement client will receive a one-time copy of the signed GTCs as a PDF by e-mail. On the other hand, the GTCs can be viewed on the company website www.silo.boutique. As long as they have remained unchanged since the day of the first signature by the consignement client, the GTCs shall also apply to future commission transactions with the same consignement client without further signature.
Data Protection
SILO undertakes to treat private data obtained in the course of business transactions as confidential and not to pass it on to third parties.
Legal Remedies
In the event of disputes, German jurisdiction shall apply.
