General Terms and Conditions

JFN Spirituosen Hamburg GmbH

[Street, ZIP Hamburg]

Commercial register: Local Court Hamburg HRB 168651

Managing Director: Marcus Köhnlein

The JFN Spirituosen editions are strictly limited, individually numbered collector series. Each bottle is produced according to the individual specifications of the buyer — through the assignment of an edition number registered in the buyer’s name, a certificate of authenticity issued to the buyer and, on request, a personal dedication or engraving. The following terms reflect the character of the goods as collector and one-off objects.

(1) These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") apply to all contracts for the supply of spirits, in particular of the JFN Spirituosen editions, between JFN Spirituosen Hamburg GmbH (hereinafter "Provider") and the buyer (hereinafter "Customer").

(2) The GTC apply both to consumers within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and to entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 BGB. Where provisions apply exclusively to one of these groups, this is identified accordingly.

(3) Differing, conflicting or supplementary terms of the Customer shall not become part of the contract unless the Provider expressly agrees to their applicability in writing. This shall also apply if the Provider performs delivery without reservation in the knowledge of such differing terms.

(1) The subject matter of the contract is the spirits of the JFN Spirituosen editions as designated in the online shop or order form.

(2) Each bottle of a JFN Spirituosen edition is part of a limited series and bears an individual edition number. The edition number is registered to the buyer named by the Customer and is set out in a personal certificate of authenticity.

(3) The collector bottles are individually produced and configured according to Customer specifications. On request, a personal dedication or engraving is added. The mere individual assignment of edition number, buyer name and certificate of authenticity already constitutes a personalised production within the meaning of Section 312g (2) no. 1 BGB.

(4) Minor deviations in colour, labelling, closure or packaging from product illustrations are reserved and do not constitute a defect insofar as they are reasonable for the Customer and do not contradict the collector character of the edition.

(1) The presentation of products in the online shop, in catalogues or in other sales documents does not constitute a binding offer but an invitation to the Customer to submit an offer.

(2) By submitting the order, the Customer makes a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract. The Provider confirms receipt of the order without undue delay by email. This confirmation of receipt does not yet constitute acceptance of the offer.

(3) The contract is concluded upon the Provider’s express order confirmation, or at the latest upon dispatch of the goods.

(4) The Provider reserves the right to reject orders without stating reasons, in particular in case of justified doubts as to legal age, solvency or suspicion of resale to minors.

(1) Sales are made exclusively to persons who have reached the age of 18. Orders by minors are excluded.

(2) By submitting the order, the Customer warrants that they are of legal age. The Provider is entitled to require electronic age verification or presentation of an official photo ID.

(3) Delivery is made exclusively against identification of an adult recipient. Handover to minors or to drop-off locations without identity verification is excluded.

(4) False statements regarding age entitle the Provider to immediate withdrawal from the contract. All resulting costs, in particular shipping and return costs, shall be borne by the Customer.

(1) The prices indicated during the ordering process apply. All prices are stated in Euro and include statutory VAT.

(2) Shipping, packaging, insurance and any excise duties are shown separately and are borne by the Customer.

(3) Payment is made in advance by bank transfer, credit card or via the payment services offered during the ordering process. Delivery is made after full receipt of payment.

(4) If an entrepreneurial Customer falls into default of payment, default interest of nine percentage points above the base interest rate (Section 288 (2) BGB) and the lump sum pursuant to Section 288 (5) BGB shall be owed. With respect to consumers, statutory provisions apply.

(1) Delivery is made EU-wide to the delivery address provided by the Customer. Deliveries to third countries require a separate agreement.

(2) Delivery times are non-binding guidelines unless expressly promised as binding. For individualised collector bottles, the delivery time may be extended; the Customer will be informed accordingly.

(3) The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the consumer upon handover to the Customer, and to the entrepreneur upon handover to the carrier, forwarding agent or other person designated to carry out the shipment.

(4) The Customer shall notify visible transport damage to the carrier and the Provider without undue delay. Hidden transport damage shall be reported to the Provider in writing within seven days of handover.

(1) The goods remain the property of the Provider until full payment of the purchase price.

(2) Vis-à-vis entrepreneurs, the Provider reserves title until settlement of all claims arising from the ongoing business relationship.

(1) There is no statutory right of withdrawal. The bottles of the JFN Spirituosen editions are not pre-fabricated goods; their production is decisively based on individual selection or determination by the Customer or they are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the Customer (Section 312g (2) no. 1 BGB).

(2) Personalisation takes place through the individual edition number, the certificate of authenticity issued in the name of the buyer and — if chosen — through personal dedication or engraving. By placing the order, the Customer bindingly determines this personalisation; from that moment, the bottle is assigned to the buyer and irrevocably removed from the edition.

(3) The Customer is expressly informed that by submitting the order, they instruct the start of individual production and that no right of withdrawal pursuant to Section 312g (2) no. 1 BGB exists. This information is part of the contract and is communicated to the Customer in text form before conclusion of the contract.

(4) Vis-à-vis entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 BGB, a right of withdrawal does not exist in any event.

(1) A voluntary exchange or voluntary return of the goods is excluded. Collector bottles of the JFN Spirituosen editions are neither exchanged for other products nor taken back against refund of the purchase price.

(2) This exclusion also covers cases of changed taste preferences, changed collecting goals or a changed valuation by the Customer.

(3) Statutory warranty rights (Section 10 of these GTC) remain unaffected.

(1) The Provider is liable for defects of the goods in accordance with statutory provisions.

(2) Vis-à-vis consumers, the limitation period for warranty claims is two years from handover.

(3) Vis-à-vis entrepreneurs, the limitation period is one year from handover. Entrepreneurs shall examine delivered goods without undue delay upon receipt and notify any defects without undue delay (Section 377 HGB); otherwise the goods are deemed approved.

(4) Minor, collector-typical deviations — in particular maturation phenomena, natural sedimentation or insignificant variations in colour, clarity or taste — do not constitute a defect.

(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and pursuant to the provisions of the German Product Liability Act.

(2) For slight negligence, the Provider is liable only in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the Customer may regularly rely. In such cases, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

(3) Liability for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health remains unaffected.

(4) Any further liability is excluded.

(1) Vis-à-vis entrepreneurs, withdrawal, exchange and return are fully excluded.

(2) Resale of collector bottles to end consumers by entrepreneurial Customers is permitted only in compliance with all applicable youth protection, food law and tax law provisions. The entrepreneurial Customer indemnifies the Provider internally against any third-party claims arising from a violation of these provisions by such Customer.

(3) The entrepreneurial Customer is entitled to set-off and rights of retention only insofar as the counterclaims are undisputed or have been finally adjudicated.

Personal data of the Customer is collected and processed exclusively within the framework of statutory provisions, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Details are set out in the Provider’s privacy policy at https://jfnspirituosen.com/en/privacy.

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

(2) The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Vis-à-vis consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence.

(2) The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship with entrepreneurial Customers is Hamburg. The Provider is entitled to also sue at the general place of jurisdiction of the Customer.

(3) Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by the statutory provision.

(4) Amendments and additions to these GTC require text form.
