LR Innovation Lab GmbH is a limited liability company with its corporate seat in Vienna, registered with the commercial register of the Commercial Court in Vienna under FN 425277 h (hereinafter "Luke Roberts"). These general terms and conditions (hereinafter the "General Terms and Conditions") shall apply to all orders placed by the customer (hereinafter the "Customer"; the Customer and Luke Roberts hereinafter also jointly referred to as the "Parties") whether via (i) Luke Roberts' online shop at www.luke-roberts.com (hereinafter the "Online Shop") as applicable at the time of the order, (ii) Amazon.com, Inc at www.amazon.com or other country specific website of Amazon.com, Inc, or (iii) similar distribution channels, or (iv) direct sales via Luke Roberts' retail stores, as applicable. These General Terms and Conditions shall also apply to orders made by e-mail.
  2. These Terms and Conditions shall apply to consumers as well as to entrepreneurs in the meaning of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (Konsumentenschutzgesetz).
  3. If these General Terms and Conditions refer to "consumer(s)", these are natural persons who order goods online as set forth under section 1.1 (i) to (iii) or purchase goods from retail stores not for a commercial, independent or freelance activity, i.e. the respective order does not belong to the natural person's business.
  4. If these General Terms and Conditions refer to "entrepreneurs", these are natural or legal persons or legal partnerships for which the respective order made online as set forth under section 1.1 (i) to (iii) or purchase from retail stores belongs to their business. The differentiation between consumer and entrepreneur is made according to the Austrian Consumer Protection Act.
  5. Luke Roberts rejects any deviating general terms and conditions of the Customer. Any deviating or supplementary general terms and conditions shall not become integral part of the contract, even if no explicit objection has been made. Any deviations from these General Terms and Conditions, additional agreements or any possible contradictory terms and conditions of the Customer shall only be valid if they have been confirmed in writing by Luke Roberts.
  6. The provisions of these General Terms and Conditions may be amended by Luke Roberts without notice at any time, whereby any such amendments shall be published in the Online Shop of Luke Roberts at least 30 days before any such amendments enter into force. Amendments of these General Terms and Conditions require the Customer's approval. The Customer approves the amended General Terms and Conditions by clicking an OK button in the course of the next order or the next login to the Online Shop. In case the Customer does not approve the amended General Terms and Conditions, the contractual relationship between the Customer and Luke Roberts shall be continued subject to the General Terms and Conditions as in force prior to the announced amendments. The Customer is informed, that the use of the Online Shop is no longer possible without consent to the amended General Terms and Conditions.

2. OPTIONAL REGISTRATION

  1. The Customers may register for the use of the Online Shop. Customers do not have a claim to registration. Luke Roberts reserves the right to request proof of the identity and creditworthiness of the Customer as well as the power of representation of the persons acting on behalf of the Customer as part of the registration process and to refuse registration of a person without giving reasons. For the avoidance of doubt, proof of the power of representation of the persons acting on behalf of the Customer can only be requested if the Customer is an entrepreneur.
  2. As part of the registration process, the Customer has to provide all required information completely and truthfully and subsequently update such information without delay in the event of any change. Following true indication of all required data in the registration process and acceptance of the registration by Luke Roberts, the Customer receives a confirmation e-mail containing an activation link for completion of the registration. After the initial registration, the Customer may register by entering his or her personal access data (username and password) in the Online Shop.
  3. The Customer undertakes to keep his access data secret and to protect the access data from access by unauthorized third parties. The Customer is solely responsible for the confidentiality and protection of his or her access data. If the Customer passes on his or her access data to third parties, he or she undertakes to transfer the obligation to comply with these General Terms and Conditions to the third party. The Customer shall be liable for all disadvantages Luke Roberts may suffer if the Customer does not comply with the foregoing obligation. However, the foregoing shall not apply in the event of misuse of access data by third parties without fault on the part of the Customer. In case the Customer loses his or her access data or in case of suspicion that unauthorized third parties have become aware of the access data, the customer is obliged to promptly notify Luke Roberts by e-mail to support@luke-roberts.com in order to arrange for the Customer account to be blocked.

3. CONCLUSION OF A CONTRACT

  1. With respect to orders placed by the Customer via the Online Shop, the Customer submits a binding offer to conclude a contract with Luke Roberts by clicking on the "complete order and pay" button. The acceptance of this offer and thus the conclusion of the contract is effected by sending an order confirmation to the Customer by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the Customer. Luke Roberts shall be entitled to demand proof of the identity and creditworthiness of the Customer before accepting an order. Any offers made by Luke Roberts shall be free and non-binding and merely represent an invitation for the Customer to submit an offer.
  2. With respect to orders placed by the Customer via Amazon.com, Inc at www.amazon.com or other country specific websites of Amazon.com, Inc, or similar distribution channels as set forth under section 1.1 (ii) and (iii) with third party suppliers, the general terms and conditions of the respective suppliers may apply in addition to these General Terms and Conditions.
  3. With respect to direct sales via Luke Roberts' retail stores, the Customer submits a binding offer to conclude a contract with Luke Roberts by expressing his or her will to purchase the respective good at the indicated price. The acceptance of this offer and thus the conclusion of the contract shall be effected by issuance of the respective invoice by Luke Roberts.
  4. Customers who are entrepreneurs shall also have the possibility to place their orders by email. By placing an order by e-mail, the Customer submits a binding offer to conclude a contract with Luke Roberts. The acceptance of this offer and thus the conclusion of the contract is effected by sending an order confirmation to the Customer by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the Customer. In addition section 3.1 of these General Terms and Conditions apply.

4. PRICES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

  1. Unless agreed otherwise, the prices shown on the website of Luke Roberts at www.luke-roberts.com valid on the day of delivery including statutory value-added tax shall apply. Luke Roberts reserves its right to correct typing errors and calculation errors with respect to the prices set forth at www.luke-roberts.com. The shipping costs are included in the price quoted unless specified otherwise during the checkout process. 
  2. In case export fees, import fees or other additional costs related to the shipping of the goods become due, these costs shall be borne by the Customer. 
  3. Any discounts or rebates granted to the Customers shall only apply to the respective delivery and are not granted for any subsequent purchases or deliveries. The foregoing shall also apply in case Luke Roberts does not object to deductions made by the Customer in the course of subsequent purchases. 
  4. With respect to direct sales via Luke Roberts' retail stores, the method of payment agreed between Luke Roberts and the Customer shall apply. Cheques and bills of exchange are not accepted. 
  5. With respect to orders via the Online Shop, the Customer is entitled to choose one of the given payment methods available in the Online Shop before the end of the ordering process. Payment slips and cash on delivery are not accepted. 
  6. If the payment is possible by invoice, the payment must be made within 15 days after receipt of goods and invoice. For all other payment methods, the payment must be made in advance without any deduction. 
  7. If the Customer is an entrepreneur and in default of payment, Luke Roberts shall be entitled – at its sole discretion – to either (i) demand payment of interest in the amount of 9.2 % p.a. above the latest base interest rate set by the European Central Banks as of the due date and claim damages for the damages caused by the default of payment or (ii) withdraw from the contract and claim damages for non-performance. In the latter case, Luke Roberts is entitled, irrespective of the Customer's misconduct and the actual occurrence of damage, to demand or withhold the agreed down payment, at least 15% of the purchase price, as a contractual penalty. The obligation to pay the contractual penalty does not prevent the assertion of further damages.

  9. Furthermore, in case of default of payment by the Customer, any dunning charges or collecting fees, which are necessary for an appropriate legal prosecution and are in a proportionate relation to the claim, shall be borne by the Customer. In case the Customer is a consumer the foregoing shall only apply to the extent the Customer acted with misconduct. The assertion of other claims or rights remains unaffected. 
  10. In addition, in case the Customer is in default with any payments, Luke Roberts may demand immediate payment of all outstanding claims against the respective Customer.

5. CONDITIONS OF DELIVERY, SHIPPING COSTS

  1. The Customer is not entitled to set off claims of Luke Roberts with counterclaims. However, this does not apply to consumers in the event of insolvency of Luke Roberts as well as to counterclaims which are connected with a claim of Luke Roberts in a legal context or are determined by a court or are recognized by Luke Roberts. In these cases the consumers are entitled to set off.

In case of consent of Luke Roberts, the purchase price claim of the Customer shall already be deemed assigned to Luke Roberts and Luke Roberts is at any time entitled to inform the third party buyer of this assignment.
  2. If the customer is in default with payments, Luke Roberts is entitled at any time, even without withdrawing from the contract, to reclaim the goods. A legal action with respect to the purchase price or a part thereof shall not affect Luke Roberts' retention of title. As long as Luke Roberts' retention of title exists, Luke Roberts shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract.
  3. In the case of a withdrawal from the contract, the Customer shall only receive an amount for the returned goods which corresponds to the time value of the goods at the time of withdrawal, less any manipulation fees, transportation costs and other disadvantages incurred as a consequence of the withdrawal from the contract, including loss of profit.

  3. The warranty is excluded in case of defects caused by the Customer. This is the case particularly for improper handling. Furthermore, any warranty is excluded in case the purchased goods are repaired, or modified in any way by the Customer or a third party without Luke Roberts' prior written consent.
  4. It is the Customer’s responsibility to check the delivered goods for any defects immediately after receipt of the goods.
