General Terms and Conditions (T&Cs)


These General Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) apply to all business relationships between Blaser Group GmbH, Ziegelstadel 1, 88316 Isny im Allgäu, Germany, or its affiliated companies in accordance to §§ 15 of the German AktG (Blaser GmbH, J.P. Sauer & Sohn GmbH, Mauser GmbH, Liemke GmbH & Co. KG, Minox GmbH) - hereinafter referred to as "Supplier" - and any natural or legal person who concludes legal transactions as a consumer, hereinafter referred to as "Customer".

§ 1 Scope and definitions of terms
(1) The version of the following General Terms and Conditions of Business, which is valid at the point in time when the purchase order is placed, applies solely to the business relationship between the supplier and the customer. The customer’s diverging terms and conditions will not be recognized unless the supplier expressly consents to their validity in writing.
(2) The customer is the consumer, insofar as the purpose of the ordered supplies and services cannot be ascribed to his commercial or independent professional activity (Article 13 of the German Civil Code). On the other hand, the businessman is any natural person or legal entity, or legally competent association without an independent legal existence (i.e., an unincorporated firm or partnership), which acts by means of exercising its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding the contract (Article 14 of the German Civil Code).

§ 2 Conclusion of contract
(1) The customer can choose various products from the supplier’s assortment, especially thermal optics and accessories, (referred to collectively as “products” hereinafter) and he can pick these products via the “In the shopping basket” button.

The customer can alter and examine the data at any time before sending off the purchase order. However, the order can only be placed and transmitted if the customer accepts these contractual conditions by means of placing a tick against the field of choice entitled “Accept the General Terms and Conditions of Business” and he has incorporated them in his order as a result. The General Terms and Conditions of Business can be called up via a hyperlink before placing the tick; they can also be stored as a pdf data file or printed out, or both. The same rule applies to the information about any right of cancellation that could exist.
(2) The supplier then sends an automatic acknowledgement of order by e-mail to the customer, in which the customer’s purchase order can be called up again and which the customer can confirm via the function of “Print out the acknowledgement of order now”. The automatic acknowledgement of order (called the “acknowledgement of order”) merely documents that the customer’s order has been received by the supplier; it does not represent any acceptance of the order. The contract will only materialize by means of the supplier declaring the acceptance (called the “acceptance of order”), which is sent by a separate e-mail one day at the latest after forwarding the acknowledgement of or-der.
(3) The customer has the possibility of recognizing and correcting any input mistakes as follows, be-fore issuing the contractual declaration.

§ 6 Proof of age in the case of purchasing
(1). Individual products offered on the portal www.store.blaser.com, require a proof of the age of 18 years at the time of purchase. The possibility of sale and delivery of those products is therefore only possible by proof of age that the purchaser is older than 18 and takes place exclusively within the Federal Republic of Germany. The type of despatch like ‘DHL recorded delivery’ ensures that the despatch will actually be received solely by the identity card’s holder and only via the postal service after the proof of age has been provided.
(2) All of the products that we offer are freely saleable and they are not subject to any duty of notification.
(3) All of the products that are labelled with the clear advice of “Proof of age” or “available only to holders of a special license” in the respective offer’s text on the portal at www.store.blaser.com (e. g. special kinds of night vison devices) will only be issued by the supplier to persons who are over 18 years or holders of a special license. Therefore, the customer is obligated within the framework of the first purchase order to send us a copy of the identity card (front and back sides) or passport which he has signed personally. Sending of a scanned copy (.jpg or .pdf file) by e-mail to shops@blaser-group.com is possible. The proof of age will only be required for confirming and establishing the date of birth or the customer’s age once and in connection with the proof; then the supplier will destroy the copy immediately. The provisions about data protection apply according to Article 11. If a diverging delivery address is requested, then the supplier will require the recipient’s proof of age. It is impossible to deliver to a packing station or a parcel shop.
The purchase of products requiring a special license issued by BKA customer is forced to provide the original of such special license prior to the first order. Same requirement is mandatory when purchasing a product requiring a license to acquire (e.g. hunting license). Provision of a scanned copy is possible, but will delay the ordering process by far.
(4) The holder of the identity document or the holder of the special will actually receive the despatch solely by means of the postal service with the type of despatch like “DHL recorded delivery”.
