Customers may be businesses or consumers. A consumer shall mean any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can be primarily attributed neither to a trade nor a profession (§ 13 of the German Civil Code). A business shall mean a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity which, in concluding a legal transaction, is acting in the exercise of its trade or profession (§ 14 of the German Civil Code).
2. The product display in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer; instead it is merely a non-binding online catalogue of the range of products available. By clicking "Purchase now", the customer makes a legally binding commitment to purchase the goods in the shopping bag. The sales contract becomes effective immediately. The customer shall receive an order confirmation immediately after the order has been submitted.
3. Mr. Simply reserves the right to refuse to perform the service promised if it becomes apparent after concluding the contract that the goods are not available although a corresponding contractual transaction has been concluded. In such a case, the customer shall be notified immediately. Any considerations which have already been provided shall be reimbursed without delay. Further claims against Mr. Simply are excluded.

1. If the customer is a business (as per § 14 German Civil Code), delivery shall generally take place at the customer’s risk. This also applies for partial deliveries. If the customer is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 German Civil Code, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall only pass to the customer upon handover of the item, even in case of sales involving the carriage of goods. Handover shall be deemed to have taken place even if the buyer delays in accepting the goods. Delivery shall be to the delivery address specified by the customer.

§ 4 Warranty, liability and compensation

1. Defects or any other direct or indirect damage caused by negligent or improper treatment of the goods, improper usage, natural wear and tear are not covered by the warranty.
2. The warranty and liability for the accuracy of the scales as well as for all direct, indirect, special or subsequent damage caused by the usage of the DipStick products is explicitly excluded. The usage of the DipStick products is at the users own risk and with notice of the enclosed instructions. Any compensation is excluded.
3. The DipStick must only be used for its described purpose. It is NOT allowed for any other usage. It is not a toy and is not suitable for children. The DipStick does not supersede proper preflight, flight planning or fuel management by the pilot. The pilot is obliged to verify if the DipStick is suitable for the aircraft according to the aircraft’s specific Pilot Operating Handbook. The reading of fuel levels with a DipStick ever only represents a rough estimate, it never does represent an exact measured value. None of the scales have been officially gauged by authorities. The improper usage of a DipStick will lead to error of measurement. E.g. when the DipStick is not inserted into the fuel tank correctly or is not removed from the filler neck perpendicular or the aircraft does not stand even with the ground and therefore the fuel level within the fuel tank is inclined. Every particular aircraft bears constructional differences, that may subsequently lead to errors of measurement. If a DipStick is cracked, slivered, broken or damaged in any way or is unreadable, it must NOT be used anymore. It must be disposed properly. If a DipStick has dropped into a fuel tank, you MUST remove it before using the aircraft. The DipStick must NOT be in contact with fuels longer than typical for measuring procedure. The liability and compensation for any direct or indirect damage caused by negligent or improper usage are excluded.
4. Mr. Simply shall be liable for damage arising from causes other than the detriment to life, body and health only to the extent that such damage arises from willful misconduct, gross negligence or the culpable violation of a fundamental contractual obligation on the part of Mr. Simply or a vicarious agent (e.g. the delivery service). Any further liability for damages shall be excluded. In the event of a negligent breach of a material contractual obligation, the liability shall be limited to foreseeable damage.

§ 6 Retention of title
