PREAMBLE

PIZZycle is the first reusable and closable pizza box and a big step towards a more sustainable food packaging industry. PIZZycle is composed of two identical, round plates, following the outline of a pizza. Through its distinct shape, PIZZycle can be carried easily, cleaned in the dishwasher and stored efficiently. The innovative lock-mechanism enables users to open and close the parts intuitively. Due to the extremely durable, scratch- and heat-resistant material we chose, PIZZycle can be used several hundred times. The best part about it: PIZZycle is 100 % recyclable. 

The business activities of PIZZycle GmbH do not include the provision or operation of a cash or software based deposit system. These general terms and conditions (GTC) guide the contractual conditions for the commercial acquisition of the pizza box “PIZZycle".

Without this information the refund cannot be assigned.

2. The refund is refunded on the same payment method, which the buyer has chosen at the time of purchase. When choosing payment in advance, the customer must provide us with his bank details so that the amount can be properly refunded to his specified bank account.

2. The Purchaser is obliged to handle the purchased goods with care as long as the ownership has not been transferred to him.

1. Unless otherwise expressly agreed below, the statutory liability for defects shall apply. The limitation period for claims for defects in used goods is one year from delivery of the goods.The above restrictions and reductions in the period shall not apply to claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents in case of injury to life, body or health, in case of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty and fraudulent intent, in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which is a prerequisite for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations), in the context of a promise of guarantee, insofar as agreed or insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is opened up. 

2. Information on any applicable additional warranties and their exact conditions can be found in each case with the product and on special information pages in the online store.

 

X. Further claims for damages 

1. The assertion of further possible claims for damages by the Purchaser is limited to claims for damages from culpable injury to life, body, health or from the culpable violation of cardinal obligations (essential contractual obligations, necessary for the fulfillment of the contract and on whose compliance the customer regularly relies and may rely on) as well as the liability for other damages, which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by PIZZycle GmbH, its legal representatives or vicarious agents.

2. As far as PIZZycle GmbH is liable for damages under consideration of the above statements, this liability is limited to damages which PIZZycle GmbH foresaw as a possible consequence of a breach of contract at the time of the conclusion of the contract or should have due diligently foreseen. Indirect and consequential damages, which are the consequence of defects of the delivery item, are furthermore only eligible for compensation insofar as such damages are typically to be expected when using the delivery item for its intended purpose.

3. The above mentioned exclusions and limitations of liability shall apply to the same extent in favor of the organs, legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents of PIZZycle GmbH. This applies if the claims are asserted directly against them.
