1. Scope of Application

(1) The following general terms and conditions (GTC) in the version valid at the time of the order apply exclusively to all orders placed via Gate’s (a brand of Overkill GmbH) online shop. Our online shop is aimed exclusively at consumers.
A consumer (within the understanding of the German civil law -Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - BGB) is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity, which acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction.

(2) Gate / Overkill GmbH reserves the right to amend these GTC at any time in accordance with this provision. If Gate / Overkill GmbH makes changes to these general terms and conditions, the changed general terms and conditions will be published on the website and the date of the last update will be updated at the beginning of these general terms and conditions.

 

2. Contracting Party, Conclusion of the Contract

(1) The purchase contract is concluded with Overkill GmbH (hereinafter "Overkill"; Gate is a registered trademark of Overkill GmbH), represented by its managing directors Thomas Peiser and Marc Leuschner, Köpenicker Straße 195 a, 10997 Berlin.

(2) The customer can select products from Gate's (Overkill GmbH) range, in particular footwear, apparel, and accessories, and collect these in a cart by clicking on the "Add to cart" button. By clicking on the “Checkout” if for instance the payment method "PayPal" or “Google Pay” is selected - the customer makes a binding offer (order) to purchase the goods in the shopping cart.
Before submitting the binding order by clicking on “Review order“ the customer can review and edit their data at any time. In the final step of checkout the customer must check a box to confirm the shop's General Terms and Conditions as well as the linked privacy policy. By the final click on “Pay now” the customer confirms the acceptance of these terms.

(3) Overkill will then send the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail, in which the customer's order is listed and which is thus available to the customer for saving or printing for his own records. This automatic confirmation of receipt only documents that the customer's binding order has been received by Overkill and does not constitute the binding acceptance of the customer's application. The binding acceptance of the order (customer's offer) only comes about when Overkill issues the order confirmation (acceptance), which is sent in a separate e-mail. 

(4) The contract text is available in German and English. However, the contract is concluded exclusively based on the German language version of the contract text.

 

3. Terms of Delivery and Prices

(1) Delivery times stated by us are calculated from the date of our order confirmation. These delivery times are estimated based on the in the shipping information provided delivery country. 

(2) All prices quoted on the Gate / Overkill webpage are inclusive of the statutory value-added tax applicable at the time. If the user selects a country outside the European Union, VAT is neither indicated in the product prices nor will be collected in the payment. 

(3) In addition to the stated product prices, shipping costs may be incurred depending on the shipping service provider. You will find more detailed information on any shipping costs that may be incurred on the page “Shipping” or within the checkout process. The shipping costs are to be borne by the customer without exception.

(5) If no items of the goods selected by the customer are available at the time of the customer's order, Overkill will inform the customer immediately in the order confirmation. If the product is permanently unavailable, Overkill will refrain from making a declaration of acceptance. In this case, no contract is concluded.

(6) If the product designated by the customer in his order is temporarily unavailable, Overkill will inform the customer of this. 

(7) Discount Codes:

1. We offer one or more discount codes (e.g. newsletter discount code) at different times and under different conditions.

If the discount is issued in conjunction with a minimum order value and if this minimum order value is not reached due to the return of one or more items, the discount code can no longer be redeemed, i.e. the discount will not be granted.

9. Withdrawal of Goods / Rights of Revocation

(1) When concluding a distance selling transaction, customers generally have a statutory right of revocation, about which Overkill will inform you in the following in accordance with the statutory model. The exceptions to the right of revocation are regulated in clause (3). Clause (4) contains a sample revocation form.

Consumers have the right to withdraw within 14 days.

(1) Right of revocation
You have the right to revoke this contract within fourteen (14) days without giving reasons. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier, took possession of the goods.
In order to exercise your right of revocation, you must inform us (Overkill GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 195 A, 10997 Berlin, Germany, info@overkill.de, telephone: +493069818379) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter, fax or e-mail sent by post) of your decision to revoke this contract. You may use the attached sample revocation form for this purpose, but this is not mandatory.
In order to comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient to send the notification of the exercise of the right of revocation before the end of the revocation period.

(2) Consequences of revocation
If you revoke this Agreement, we shall reimburse you for all payments we have received from you, including delivery charges (other than any additional charges arising from your choosing a different method of delivery from the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and no later than fourteen days from the date on which we receive notice of your revocation of this Agreement. For this refund, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no event will you be charged for this refund. We may refuse to make any refund until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is earlier. You must return or hand over the goods to us or to Gate194 / Overkill GmbH (Aufgang W. 2. OG) Wolfener Str. 3612681 Berlin immediately and in any case within fourteen days at the latest from the day you inform us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is deemed to have been met if you send the goods before the end of the fourteen-day period. You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods. You shall only be liable for any loss of value of the goods if this loss of value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for testing their condition, properties and functionality.

(3) The right of withdrawal does not apply to the following contracts:

• contracts for the delivery of sealed goods which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after delivery.

12. Final Provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to contracts between Overkill and the customer, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The statutory provisions restricting the choice of law and the applicability of mandatory regulations, in particular those of the state in which the customer as a consumer has his habitual residence, remain unaffected.

(2) The remaining parts of the General Terms and Conditions shall remain binding even if individual points are legally ineffective. In place of the ineffective points, the legal regulations, if any, shall apply. However, if this would represent an unreasonable hardship for one of the contracting parties, the contract as a whole shall become invalid.
