Terms and Conditions

General Terms and Conditions for the “Metall-Insider” Book Subscription Service of Noble BC GmbH (hereinafter “Noble BC”)

1. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
The following terms and conditions apply to the entire contractual relationship between Noble BC and the customer. Any conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the customer shall apply only if and to the extent that Noble BC has agreed to their validity on a case-by-case basis. Individual agreements made with the customer on a case-by-case basis (including ancillary agreements, additions, and amendments) shall in all cases take precedence over these terms and conditions.

2. SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CONTRACT
The subject of this contract is the book distribution service “Metall-Insider” (hereinafter referred to as “Metall-Insider”).

Contracting parties may be either natural persons or legal entities as defined in Sections 13 and 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB) (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”).

3. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT
The customer can purchase Metall-Insider via the website www.noble-bc.de/broschuere-bestellen by completing the ordering process.

The offerings presented and described on the website www.noble-bc.de/broschuere-bestellen do not constitute legally binding offers to enter into sales contracts, but are to be understood as invitations to the customer to submit a non-binding proposal
(= Invitatio ad offerendum).

The customer first goes through the electronic ordering and registration process.

By clicking the “Send” button, the customer submits a legally binding offer to Noble BC regarding the Metal Insider.

Noble BC accepts the offer by confirming it via email to the email address provided during the registration process.

Payment of the listed fee in the amount of 19.90 EUR is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. The customer is also obligated to pay in advance. If the customer fails to pay the purchase price, in whole or in part, despite it being due, Noble BC is not obligated to perform its part of the contract.

The contract may be concluded exclusively in German.

Ultimately, the customer must also ensure that the information provided during the registration process—in particular, personal information and the email address—is truthful and accurate. Otherwise, a valid contract cannot be formed.

4. DELIVERY OF THE GOODS (MAIL DELIVERY)
The *Metall-Insider* is delivered to the shipping address provided by the customer. Any shipping costs that may apply will be displayed to the customer in the online store before the order is finalized. For international shipments, the customer is responsible for any additional taxes and customs duties that may apply.

5. PRICES, INVOICE DELIVERY, AND RETENTION OF TITLE
All prices listed in the online store include the statutory value-added tax (VAT), which is currently 19%.

The invoice for the customer’s order will be sent exclusively via email.

The Metal Insider delivered to the customer remains the property of Noble BC until it has been paid for in full.

6. RIGHTS OF USE
Noble BC holds the intellectual property rights and copyrights to Metall-Insider, which remain with Noble BC or, in the case of content, with the cooperation partners or respective authors. Noble BC grants the customer the limited-term, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the service.

Unless otherwise agreed, the customer has no right to modify, further develop, or edit Metall-Insider, unless expressly permitted by mandatory law.

7. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
When ordering books, brochures, manuals, and other printed materials, consumers are entitled to the statutory right of withdrawal in accordance with the withdrawal policy set forth below.
The right of withdrawal applies even if the publication is intended for technical, academic, or professional purposes.

The right of withdrawal may be excluded only in the cases provided for by law, in particular for goods that have been manufactured according to the customer’s specifications or clearly tailored to the consumer’s personal needs (Section 312g(2)(1) of the German Civil Code (BGB)).

To exercise your right of withdrawal, please send your notice of withdrawal by email to: service@noble-bc.de

The consumer may handle and inspect the printers only to the extent necessary to determine their nature, characteristics, and functionality. Excessive use, damage, or deterioration may result in a claim for compensation in accordance with statutory provisions.

8. CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS TO COOPERATE AND DATA PROTECTION
The language of the contract is German. The customer is generally obligated to provide Noble BC with the certificates and documents required for the conclusion and execution of the contract in German or English, in particular identification documents to verify the customer’s identity. If the customer submits other documents in a foreign language, Noble BC is entitled to reject them and to require the customer to provide a German- or English-language translation prepared and certified by a sworn translator.

In order to carry out the contractual relationship with Noble BC and to fulfill Noble BC’s legal obligations, the customer’s personal data must be collected, processed, and used. Details regarding this are governed by the separate data protection agreement between Noble BC and the customer.

9. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Should the need arise to amend or supplement these General Terms and Conditions, particularly due to legal requirements or a significant change in economic circumstances, Noble BC may, taking due account of mutual interests, request the customer to agree to the amendment.

If the custodian and the customer are unable to reach an agreement regarding an amendment to these General Terms and Conditions, Noble BC shall be entitled to terminate the Noble Portfolio +finomet Agreement for good cause.

10. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The statutory provisions regarding restrictions on the choice of law and the application of mandatory provisions of the country in which customers, in their capacity as consumers, have their habitual residence remain unaffected.

If the customer is a merchant as defined by the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, Berlin shall be the exclusive venue for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from the contractual relationship. The same applies if the customer does not have a general venue in Germany.
