1.   SCOPE AND CONTRACTING PARTIES

The provisions currently valid for orders are available at our webshop at any time.

1.1.   CONTRACTING PARTIES

This order policy (hereinafter, “OP”) forms an integral part of all contracts initiated through this web shop (www.tipykeyboard.com). These are entered into exclusively by and between TiPY GmbH (hereinafter, also „TiPY GmbH”, “we” or “us”) and you, the customer (hereinafter, also “you”, “your”).

The person authorised to represent TiPY GmbH is Matthaeus Drory, Managing Director. TiPY GmbH has its registered office at Annenhofstraße 68, 3032 Eichgraben, Austria, and is registered at the Sankt Pölten Commercial Court with commercial register number 475900 d.

The product range on our web shop is intended exclusively for persons of unlimited legal capacity and who have reached the age of 18.

1.2.   COVERAGE

Furthermore, and for the time being, we only provide TiPY Keyboard to a person domiciled or habitually resident in the United States.

1.3.   CONSUMERS AND ENTREPRENEURS

An ‘entrepreneur’ is a natural or legal person for whom the transaction forms part of their business operations. A ‘consumer’ is any person for whom this does not apply.

With regard to entrepreneurs, this OP shall also apply to future business relationships, without us having to refer to this OP again. If the entrepreneur adopts conflicting or supplementary conditions, the validity thereof is hereby rejected: these shall only form an integral part of the contract if we have expressly consented thereto.

2.   LANGUAGE OF THE CONTRACT

If you submit your offer to us in another language than German, the contract language shall be English and this version of the OP applies.

If you submit your offer to us in German, the contract language shall be German. Hence, this version of the OP does not apply but the current German version does.

3.   CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT

All details of our goods and prices constitute a non-binding online catalogue, not a binding offer. Only the submission of a order through the ordering process constitutes an express, binding offer by you. You will receive an automatic confirmation of receipt of your offer from us (acknowledgment of receipt) to which you are legally bound for two working days (Saturday, Sunday and public holidays are not considered as working days). Your statutory right to cancel remains unaffected. A contract is only concluded when we expressly declare our acceptance of your offer.

5.2.   RETENTION OF TITLE

The goods shall remain our property until payment in full.

If you are in default of payment, we are entitled to assert our rights from the retention of title. Asserting retention of title does not constitute contractual rescission unless we expressly declare contractual rescission.

6.   PRICING

7.   RIGHT OF CANCELLATION

If you are a consumer (see point 1.3), you have the right of cancellation in accordance with the following provisions.

7.1.   CANCELLATION POLICY

You have the right to revoke this contract within fourteen days without providing any reasons.

The revocation period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, other than the carrier, have/has taken possession of the goods. If a contract for the delivery of multiple goods in a single order, or one for delivery of goods in several instalments or parts has been concluded, the fourteen-day period begins on the day you or a third party named by you, other than the carrier, have/has taken possession of the last goods, partial shipment or part of the goods.

In order to exercise your right of revocation, you must notify us (TiPY GmbH, Annenhofstraße 68, 3032 Eichgraben, Austria,  info@tipykeyboard.com) by expressly stating your decision to cancel this contract (by a letter sent by post or email, for example). To do so, you can use the attached sample cancellation form, but using this is not mandatory.

In order to meet the cancellation period, it is sufficient for you to submit the notice of the exercise of the right to revoke before the cancellation period expires.

Consequences of cancellation

If you revoke this contract, we shall reimburse you for any payments we have received from you, including delivery charges (except for additional costs arising from choosing a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery we offer), as soon as possible and no later than fourteen days from the date on which we receive notification of your revocation of this contract. We will use the same payment means for reimbursement as that used by you in the original transaction, unless otherwise agreed with you; in no case will you be charged reimbursement fees for this.

We may refuse reimbursement until the goods have been returned to us, or until you have provided proof that you have sent back the goods, whichever is earlier.

You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately or, at latest, within fourteen days from the date on which you notify us of revocation of this contract, at TiPY GmbH, Annenhofstraße 68, 3032 Eichgraben, Austria, with “Cancellation” in the subject line. Irrespective of a value limit, the law stipulates that the buyer bears the costs of the return shipment. This deadline is met if you send the goods before the fourteen-day deadline.

You must only pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to the handling thereof other than as required to verify the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

7.2   REFUND POLICY

You have the right to return the goods ordered via the online shop and received by shipping without stating reasons within 30 days by returning the goods.

Mailing address:

TiPY GmbH, Annehofstrasse 68, 3032 Eichgraben, Austria

eMail: info@tipykeyboard.com

consequences of return

In the case of an effective return, the services received on both sides must be returned and any benefits (eg use advantages) that have been obtained must be surrendered. The seller is entitled to demand a reasonable compensation for the resulting impairment by using the goods by the buyer. Should the buyer send back damaged or unusable goods, this will result in further claims for compensation for the seller, provided that the goods were delivered to the buyer / orderer in accordance with the contract. The buyer can prevent this by treating the ordered goods as if they were a foreign property until the expiry of the return period and taking the utmost care in dealing with them!

8.   DAMAGES IN TRANSIT

8.1.   FOR CONSUMERS (SEE POINT 1.3) THE FOLLOWING APPLIES:

If goods are delivered that were clearly damaged in transit, please file a complaint concerning such flaws without delay to the deliverer, and please contact us immediately. Failure to file a complaint or to contact us has no consequences on your statutory claims and the enforcement thereof, specifically your warranty rights. However, it helps us to bring our own claims against the carrier or transport insurance.

8.2.   FOR ENTREPRENEURS (SEE POINT 1.3) THE FOLLOWING APPLIES:

The risk of accidental loss or deterioration is transferred to you as soon as we have delivered the item to the freight forwarder, carrier or person or body otherwise responsible for shipping. Entrepreneurs are subject to the obligation to inspect and to give notice of defects. If you fail to do so, the goods are deemed approved, unless this concerns defects that were not identifiable during inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.

9.   RETURNS

The methods mentioned in the following two paragraphs are not required for effectively exercising the right of cancellation.

Please avoid damage and contamination if possible and return the goods to us in their original packaging with all accessories and packaging components. If not, use protective outer packaging. If you no longer have the original packaging, please provide suitable packaging for adequate protection against damage in transit, in order to avoid claims for damage due to defective packaging.

10.   GUARANTEE AND STATUTORY WARRANTY

In addition to the statutory warranty, Drory Handels GmbH grants you a two-year guarantee of freedom from defects based on material or manufacturing faults. The guarantee runs from the time the goods are sent. Any defects occurring within the guarantee period shall be corrected at no cost by replacement or repair of the goods, as we choose. This guarantee covers the TiPY Keyboard but the USB-C cable.

This guarantee does not cover defects resulting from improper use, normal wear and tear or defects that have an insignificant effect on the value or operation of the appliance. The guarantee is voided if unauthorized persons make repairs.

For complaints, or if you intend to return the goods, please use the contact details provided in point 11 (“Customer service and complaints”).

In addition, the statutory warranty applies. The warranty period for movable goods delivered is two years from date of receipt of the goods.

11.   CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPLAINTS

Complaints and requests for information in connection with contracts and goods initiated via the web shop can be made by post or email to the following address: TiPY GmbH, Annenhofstraße 68, 3032 Eichgraben, Austria.

email: info@tipykeyboard.com.

12.   LIABILITY

We shall have unlimited liability for claims arising from damage caused by us, our legal representatives or agents

• for injury to life, body or health,
• for intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty,
• for guarantee promises (see point 10), or
• to the extent that the Austrian Product Liability Act is applicable.

In the case of a breach of fundamental contractual obligations through minor negligence by us, our legal representatives or agents, the fulfillment of which makes proper contractual performance possible in the first place and compliance with which the contracting party may routinely rely on, such liability shall be limited in amount to the damage foreseeable at the conclusion of the contract, the outcome of which is typically to be expected. Furthermore, claims for damages are excluded.

13.   DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

14.   DATA PROTECTION

15.   FINAL PROVISIONS
