§ 2 CLOSURE OF PURCHASE CONTRACT AND CANCELLATION

By clicking the button ‘Buy now’, you are making a binding order for the goods contained in the shopping basket. The confirmation of the receipt of the order will occur immediately after the order has been sent through an automatically generated e-mail and does not yet represent an acceptance of any contract. Such acceptance will only come into being when you receive an e-mail from us, in which we confirm the dispatch of the item or the order. We are able to accept your order within two days.

We will store the text of the contract and will send you the order details by e-mail. You may consult previous orders in your customer account, provided that you have registered with us.
    3. If we cannot accept the offer or should certain products in an order not be available, then you will be informed immediately.
    4. Blue Tomato reserves the right to withdraw from the sales contract in cases of print or wording or calculation mistakes on the website.
    5. All offers are valid as long as stocks last. Should our supplier despite contractual agreement not be able to deliver the ordered products then we equally have the right to cancel a contract with a customer. In this case you will be informed without delay that the ordered product cannot be delivered. The already paid purchase price will be returned within 14 business days (with Saturday not being considered a business day) of or set against other products.

  1. The place of delivery for company business is our company location.

§ 3 DELIVERY

  1. Should nothing different be requested by the customer then the delivery address entered by the customer will be used.
  2. Delivery is assigned to different delivery service providers depending on the country. The relevant individual delivery conditions and delivery costs can be found in the detailed information on the internet page.
  3. If a delivery is not possible to a customer, be it because the customer was not reachable at the provided delivery address, although the time of delivery was indicated to the customer with appropriate notice or if the address provided was incorrect, then the customer will cover the costs of the unsuccessful delivery.
  4. The delivery is sent from stock, the location of which is also the place of delivery. The customer takes over the risk once he/she takes possession of the item.
  5. Delivery and service delays due to acts of God are not the responsibility of Blue Tomato. Such events give Blue Tomato the right to delay a delivery for the period of disruption and an appropriate restarting period or to withdraw entirely or in part from non completed parts of orders. Acts of God include strikes, natural disasters, war, blockades, import and export restrictions and other national interventions regardless whether they occur at Blue Tomato or distributors of Blue Tomato.

§ 4.1 FULFILLMENT AND PAYMENT, DELAY

  1. All product prices of Blue Tomato are gross prices, include the legal value added tax of the respective country and are shown in the indicated currency. The prices are valid at the time of the order including sales tax, plus all expenses incurred with the shipment until revoked. Any customs tariffs incurred for shipments to Switzerland will be paid by Blue Tomato. The invoicing is in Euro. In some countries, exchange rate differences may occur if the payment is made in a different currency. Blue Tomato calculates with the exchange rates of the European Central Bank.
  2. For customers from outside the EU and Switzerland, Blue Tomato deducts VAT. Removal of country-specific import and sales tax is the responsibility of the customer and is not within the remit of Blue Tomato. Any applicable customs tariffs are to be paid by the customer.
  3. The purchase price is due immediately at the time of the order.
  4. The customer can pay the purchase price by credit card, PayPal and PayPal Express, regardless of his country. The other payment methods cash on delivery, prepayment, purchase on account, immediate transfer, direct debit and iDEAL are only available in certain countries. With the payment method PayPal Express, Blue Tomato stores the email address and delivery address deposited with PayPal to process the order. The customer always has the possibility to request Blue Tomato login data so he can track his order. Payment by instant transfer (Sofort) is currently only available in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, iDeal only in the Netherlands and purchase on account only in Switzerland. In the case of purchase on account, the invoiced amount must be paid by the due date indicated on the invoice form to the account of our external partner Klarna which is also indicated there. The payment method purchase on account does not exist for all our offers and requires among others a successful credit check by Klarna. If the customer is allowed to purchase on account for certain offers after checking the creditworthiness, the processing of the payment is done in cooperation with Klarna which takes over the invoice claim of Blue Tomato after conclusion of the purchase contract. Blue Tomato remains responsible for general customer enquiries (e.g. about the goods, delivery time, shipping), returns, complaints, declarations of revocation and shipments or credit notes even when purchasing on account via Klarna.
  5. If you as a customer are in default of payment, Blue Tomato is entitled to demand default interest of 5 % above the base interest rate p.a. announced by the Austrian National Bank. If Blue Tomato has incurred higher damages through defaulting, Blue Tomato is entitled to claim for them. Special case of purchase on account in Switzerland: If you as a customer do not meet your payment obligation, especially with the payment method purchase on account, you will be in default without further reminder upon expiry of the payment period set for you and must pay default interest of 8 %. Klarna is entitled to charge a reminder fee of up to CHF 30 (or approx. EUR 25) per payment reminder as well as other fees, in particular the costs of any collection procedure. Furthermore, Klarna will be able to refuse the processing of payment terms of sales contracts in the future, also with regard to other merchants. The General Terms and Conditions of Klarna applies.

Events of force majeure entitle Blue Tomato to postpone the service for the duration of the interference and re-establish a reasonable commencement period, or to withdraw in whole or in part from the unfulfilled part of the contract. Force majeure means a strike, natural disaster, war, blockade, epidemics or other superior forces.
  3. Blue Tomato will inform the customer of the occurrence of such force majeure events.

The equipment can be picked up starting with the opening hours of the respective Blue Tomato Shop and must be returned before the closing time of the respective Blue Tomato Shop at the end of the rental period. In case of late return, the full daily amount is due for each day of the delay. The exchange of the equipment during the contract period against equivalent products is possible at any time, an exchange against products of a higher category is only possible at extra charge.
    For bookings made less than 72 hours in advance, the specific model desired cannot be guaranteed. We can only guarantee a pick-up on the rental day and a model from the booked category.
