The taking back of the goods by us constitutes a withdrawal from the contract. We are permitted to realise the purchased item after it has been taken back. The proceeds of such realisation are to be credited against the customer's liabilites - less reasonable realisation costs.

§ 12 Copyright

All rights to the images, films and text published on sobs.de remain with us or our partners. Any use, reproduction, processing or saving without express consent is prohibited. 

§ 13 Liability

Claims by the customer for damages are excluded. This does not include damages claims of the customer for loss of life, personal injury, damage to health, or arising from the breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligations), as well as liability for other damages resulting from intentional or grossly negligent breaches of obligations of the provider, its legal representatives or vicarious agents. Material contractual obligations are those that are required to be satisfied to achieve the objective of the contract. In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, the provider will only be liable for foreseeable losses typical for the contract type if these have been caused due to simple negligence, unless the customer’s claim for damages relates to loss of life, personal injury or damage to health. The restrictions also apply in favour of the provider’s legal representatives and vicarious agents if claims are brought directly against them.

The provisions of the German Product Liability Law are not affected.

§ 14 Choice of law, effectiveness, place of performance, place of jurisdiction

1. German law applies exclusively not including the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. This does not affect mandatory provisions of the state in which the ordering party is ordinarily resident.
2. If one or more of these provisions are ineffective, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
3. The place of performance for all of our obligations is Cologne
4. The courts of Cologne will have exclusive jurisdiction in connection with any disputes between the parties, provided that they are both merchants.
