a) The following General Terms and Conditions govern the contractual conditions between less'n'more GmbH (hereinafter referred to as less'n'more) and you as a customer (consumer and entrepreneur) of the online shop www.next.design . These General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively to the ordering of products in the online shop www.next.design. Other general terms and conditions, in particular the terms and conditions of customers, are not included in the contractual relationship with the customer, even if less'n'more does not expressly object to any inclusion.

b) The General Terms and Conditions shall apply in the version valid at the time of conclusion of the contract. They shall apply exclusively to contracts concluded using exclusively means of distance communication via the online shop www.next.design.

d) Goods shall only be handed over in quantities customary in the trade.

3 Offer, order, conclusion of the contract

a) Information in "www.next.design" does not constitute binding offers in the legal sense.

b) You can view all products in detail on www.next.design before ordering. You start the ordering process by selecting the desired quantity to the right of the image of the desired product and adding the product to the shopping cart by clicking the "add to cart" button. The product is now in the shopping cart in the desired quantity. By clicking on the "shopping cart" icon at the top right, you can view or change your current selection and number of products at any time. The unit price, the VAT included and the total price are displayed.

c) Click on the button "Checkout" to continue the ordering process. We now need your personal details as well as your billing and delivery address. You will then receive information about the delivery and can select the desired method of payment (see point 4 below).

d) Before completing the order process, the following information will be displayed again as an overview:

  • Links to these T&Cs associated with the request to confirm your agreement. You can save these GTC in reproducible form.
  • Name, delivery address, billing address and desired payment method
  • desired number of products, unit price, shipping costs, included VAT and total price

e) In each phase of the ordering process up to its completion (see 3. f) below), you can go back and forth within the ordering process at any time by clicking on the "back" and "continue" buttons and check and, if necessary, change your entries and the contents of the shopping cart.

f) Under the order overview (see above 3. d) there is a button "order subject to payment". By pressing this button, you declare bindingly that you wish to purchase the ordered products at the total price stated and thus submit a binding offer.

The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days. You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for checking the quality, characteristics and functioning of the goods. This is also the case, for example, if the original packaging is missing.
