    1. Contracts are only deemed to be entered into on personal acknowledgement by our company or delivery of the goods or services. Our acceptance of the order does not require separate notification to the customer. All our offers on the website and in the online shop itself are non-binding. Customer orders in the legal sense are subject to the offer, which is binding on the customer for three weeks. We reserve the right to accept only part of orders as necessary.<\/li>
    2. We reserve the right to accept only part of orders as necessary.<\/li>
    3. Orders in the online shop can only be executed if the customer has fully and correctly completed all obligatory fields (shown in bold) for the invoice address or different delivery address. All products selected in the online shop are temporarily saved in the personal shopping cart for the duration of the visit to the website. Before placing their order the customer is shown a list of the products in the shopping cart with the individual prices and total amount, which can still change or be further processed after entering the payment method. A personal greeting can be attached to this.<\/li>
    4. After accepting the General Terms & Conditions, the customer is given a summary of all the order data entered. When confirming this the customer must enter their credit card information to place a binding order. An automatic email from the online shop confirms the order as received, although this does not mean that the order is accepted. Orders can only be processed during daily business hours, Monday-Friday to 10 p.m., except for public holidays in Austria, and can be shipped on the same day, if desired. Orders placed after the above time will be processed on the following working day.<\/li>
    5. The internet is not a secure means of communication. Data sent over the internet may become known to and be modified by third parties. The customer is aware of this and bears the risk that data is not received as sent by the customer or at all. We have to proceed on the assumption that the data received is what the customer intended.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          1. Defects must be reported on delivery if possible or when they become apparent, although a failure to do so has no disadvantageous legal consequences to the customer as the consumer within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act. If the customer is a merchant in the sense of Consumer Protection Act, they are obliged to inspect the delivered goods or service as performed on receipt without delay for completeness, correctness and other freedom from defect, and to complain in writing of any defect without delay at the latest five working days after receipt of the goods or service, failing which they lose any claims arising out of defects which are identifiable in a proper inspection.<\/li>
          2. For any kind of delivery, claims for defects lapse within the statutory warranty period of two years from delivery or performance, regardless of the legal basis for the claims, and specifically warranty, compensation, special right of rescission. For consumers this period for legal defects only begins when the defect is identifiable.<\/li>
          3. In the event of defect the customer can choose between correction and replacement. Only if neither of these is feasible can the customer demand an appropriate price reduction or cancellation of the contract. If we correct a defect, we do so at no charge, although we can require the customer to return the goods \u2013 as far as feasible \u2013 at our risk and cost. The customer is obliged to give us an opportunity to correct the defect.<\/li>
          4. In the event of defect the customer may choose between correction and replacement. If a defect is corrected this shall be done free of charge or expense by Imperial Hotels Austria GmbH, although Imperial Hotels Austria GmbH may require that the customer send the goods (if feasible) to Imperial Hotels Austria GmbH at the latter\u2019s risk and cost. The customer is obliged to give Imperial Hotels Austria GmbH the opportunity to correct or replace defective goods. The customer may only request appropriate price reduction or cancellation of the contract in accordance with statutory provisions if correction or replacement are impossible or infeasible, although the right of cancellation is excluded for minor defects. If we correct a defect, we do so at no charge, although we can require the customer to return the goods \u2013 as far as feasible \u2013 at our risk and cost. The customer is obliged to give us an opportunity to correct the defect.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
