Terms
Last updated: 2026-11-14
These terms apply to every purchase in the rythem-works online shop between me, [Your full name] (details in the Impressum), and you. A consumer is anyone who buys for purposes that are mainly outside their trade, business or profession (§ 13 BGB).
1. The records
Every record in the shop is a single, used copy from my own collection. Its condition is described with my grading scale, in the notes and in the photos of that very copy. The described condition is part of what we agree: wear that is described is not a defect.
2. How the contract is made
- The records on the site are not binding offers, but an invitation to order.
- You put records in your bag, choose the country to ship to and go to checkout. On the checkout page (run by Stripe) you enter your email, shipping address and payment details. Before paying you can check and correct everything, or go back to the bag.
- By clicking the payment button you make a binding offer to buy the records in your bag.
- The contract is made when I accept, by sending you an order confirmation by email right after your payment succeeds.
- While you are in checkout, the records are reserved for you for up to 30 minutes. If the payment is not completed in that time, the reservation ends.
- The contract language is English. I do not keep the contract text for you after the order: the order confirmation email contains the details of your order, and you can save or print these terms at any time from this page.
3. Prices and shipping costs
- Prices are in euros and are final prices. [TO FILL: VAT note, to be confirmed with a tax advisor]
- Shipping costs are added and depend on the country and on the records; the bag shows them for your country before you pay. Details on the Shipping page.
- For deliveries outside the EU, import duties and taxes of the destination country may apply. They are paid by you to the carrier or the customs office.
4. Payment
You pay at checkout with one of the methods offered there (handled by Stripe). Payment is due when you order.
5. Delivery
- I ship to the countries listed on the Shipping page, within the times given there.
- If a record cannot be delivered because it was sold elsewhere at the same moment, I tell you immediately and refund any payment without delay.
6. Retention of title
The records remain my property until they are paid in full.
7. Right of withdrawal
As a consumer you have a right of withdrawal. You will find the details and a model form on the Withdrawal page.
8. Defects
The statutory rights for defects apply. If a record arrives damaged or not as described, write to me with photos, ideally within a few days, so I can also claim against the carrier. This does not limit your statutory rights.
9. Liability
I am liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the Product Liability Act. For slight negligence I am liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations that make the contract possible and that you can rely on), limited to the damage typically foreseeable for this kind of contract.
10. Trades
The For trade section is not a shop: records there are not for sale. An offer sent through the trade form is the start of a conversation, not a contract. A trade is agreed only when we both confirm it in writing (for example by email), with what each of us sends, how and when. Each of us describes our records honestly. These terms apply to a trade only where we agree so.
11. Applicable law
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the country where you live.
12. Dispute resolution
I am neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).
