§1 General
- These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter: "GTC") of Bübchen Skincare GmbH, Johannes-Gutenberg-Straße 12–14, 65719 Hofheim am Taunus, Germany ("Bübchen") apply to all contracts concluded between us and you as our customer via our online shop at www.buebchen.de (hereinafter: "Online Shop"). You have the option of viewing, printing, and saving the GTC in a reproducible format during the ordering process. The GTC valid at the time of the order will be attached to the order confirmation as a PDF document. The currently valid version can also be accessed at www.buebchen.de.
- All agreements made between you and us in connection with the purchase contract are conclusively based on these General Terms and Conditions, our order confirmation email (see Section 3 Paragraph 2 of these General Terms and Conditions) and our declaration of acceptance.
- The version of the Terms and Conditions applicable at the time of conclusion of the contract shall prevail. By placing an order, you agree to the validity of the Terms and Conditions applicable at the time of the order. Any deviating general terms and conditions on your part will not be recognized unless we expressly agree to their validity in writing. Due to our system, we do not save the shopping cart or the contract text. However, you are free to print out the relevant website during the ordering process using your browser's print function.
§2 Offer
- Our product range is aimed exclusively at natural persons with full legal capacity and legal entities in Germany. Persons with limited or no legal capacity are only authorized to use the offered product range with the cooperation and consent of their legal representative. The statutory provisions of Sections 105a and 110 of the German Civil Code (BGB) remain unaffected.
- Orders are only possible with a delivery address in Germany.
- Images and advertisements of articles in the online shop are for product presentation purposes only and do not constitute a legally binding offer.
§3 Conclusion of contract
- You submit a binding offer when you complete the ordering process in our online shop by entering the relevant information and clicking the "Buy," "Pay Now," or "Order with Payment" button (or similar terms) in the final step. The data entered during the ordering process can be changed at any time until the order is completed.
- Receipt of your order will be confirmed immediately via email. However, we will only accept your order (your offer) and conclude the contract either (i) by dispatching the ordered goods (the customer will be informed of dispatch by a delivery confirmation via email) or (ii) by receiving a payment request after placing the order. In the event that several of the aforementioned alternatives apply, the contract is concluded at the time one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. We can accept a customer's order within a period of three working days from receipt of the order.
- If delivery of the goods you ordered is not possible, for example because the goods in question are not in stock, we will refrain from accepting the order. In this case, no contract will be concluded. We will notify you immediately by email and promptly refund any consideration already received.
§4 Right of withdrawal

- If you, as a consumer, make use of your right of withdrawal in accordance with paragraph 1, you will have to bear the regular costs of returning the goods.
- In addition, the provisions for the right of withdrawal are set out in detail in the following cancellation policy:
