A. General Terms and Conditions for Buyers

1. General

GRIN Publishing GmbH, Trappentreustr. 1, 80339 D-Munich – hereinafter referred to as “GRIN” – offers buyers , hereinafter referred to as “buyers” – to purchase publications for a fee. Upon completion of the ordering process, a contract is concluded between the buyer and GRIN, including these GTC. The following General Terms and Conditions of GRIN, which are accepted by the buyer at the time of the order, apply exclusively to the business relationship between GRIN and the Buyer. The Buyer’s terms and conditions deviating from these terms and conditions shall not apply unless expressly acknowledged in writing by GRIN. German law applies to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

2. Rights of use

The buyer is not entitled to reproduce, distribute, publicly reproduce or make a publication publicly available. Individual reproductions, e.B. copies and printouts, may only be made for private and other own use (Section 53 UrhG). The production and distribution of further reproductions is only permitted with express permission. A publication may not be changed by the customer either in terms of content or editorial form, subject to deviating mandatory legal rules.

3. Warranty / Complaint

A complaint due to content defects of the publications is excluded. GRIN assumes no responsibility for the content and design quality of the individual study papers, in particular the presentation, structure, functionality of the procedures described therein and the correctness of data and results. The authors are responsible for the content of the publications themselves. GRIN does not guarantee that the publications have been prepared, evaluated and published in accordance with the statutory requirements, in particular audit regulations.

4. Liability

GRIN shall not be liable for damages that do not occur on the delivery item itself, in particular for loss of profit or for other financial losses of the buyer, insofar as they are not based on grossly negligent or intentional conduct of GRIN. In the event of slight negligence, GRIN shall only be liable in the event of breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). In addition, GRIN’s contractual and non-contractual liability is limited to intent and gross negligence, whereby the limitation of liability also applies in the case of the action of a vicarious agent of GRINg. Claims for damages due to personal injury or under the Product Liability Act remain unaffected by the limitations of liability.

6. Complaints and dispute resolution

The EU Commission provides a platform for out-of-court dispute resolution. This gives consumers the opportunity to resolve disputes in connection with an online order, if necessary, without the involvement of a court. We make every effort to resolve any differences of opinion alike in our contract by mutual agreement. In addition, we are not obliged to participate in a conciliation procedure and unfortunately cannot offer you participation in such a procedure. Our e-mail address: info@grin.com.
