Private individuals without knowledge or experience in vending machine technology are excluded from purchasing goods or services from us.

Our General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively. Deviating, conflicting, or supplementary terms and conditions of the buyer shall only apply if and insofar as expressly accepted by the seller in writing.

2. Offer and Contract Conclusion

2.1
The representations of products do not constitute an offer by the Seller but are an invitation to the buyer to make an offer to purchase the products.

The prices quoted in the Seller’s offers are valid for 14 days but only as long as the devices are available and have not been sold to another party.

3. Warranty Disclaimer

Unless otherwise stated, all devices are used, complete, roughly cleaned but not tested for function, refurbished or reconditioned. Some specifically marked devices may be tested or refurbished. These are also sold as used and are not subject to warranty or return. The devices may show scratches, dents, or other signs of use.
