GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Scope of the General Terms and Conditions
1.1 The following basic terms and conditions apply to all orders and contractual agreements placed with Monday Merch or between Monday Merch (hereinafter referred to as “Monday Merch”, "we," "us," or "our") and buyers (hereinafter referred to as “Buyers”, “Contracting Party”) of products of Monday Merch. Additionally, these General Terms and Conditions apply to all offers and deliveries made by Monday Merch unless the parties have agreed to deviate from these General Terms and Conditions.
1.2 Only if Monday Merch has specifically confirmed in writing before or at the time of the contract's conclusion that the contract's general terms and conditions differ from those of the contractual partner will the contract be valid.
1.3 The contracting party expressly waives the application of its own general terms and conditions (of sale), regardless of whether they have been published or made known, and accepts these general terms and conditions of sale by making an order and/ or using this website.
Offers, Acceptance and Conclusion of Contract
2.1 Only the confirmation of the contracting party's order by Monday Merch constitutes the conclusion of a contract between Monday Merch and the Contracting party.
2.2 If no confirmation order has been signed, the beginning of production or the delivery of the products constitute the conclusion of a contract between Monday Merch and the Contracting Party.
2.3 Monday Merch’s offer serves to inform the contracting party and is effective for a maximum of 2 weeks. Monday Merch is not legally bound by offers and quotes unless otherwise stated. Monday Merch’s offers may be modified, including price quotes, at any time and may result in an adjustment to the pricing due to wages, product availability, raw material prices, shipping rate changes in case of fluctuations of gasoline prices or exchange rates change. Monday Merch’s display of items in the online store does not, in itself, constitute a legally binding offer given by Monday Merch. Monday Merch strives to abide by the offer as given but retains the right to alter items if needed due to production.
2.4 Offers and quotations do not apply to repeat orders unless the parties have expressly agreed in writing.
2.5 Orders and quotations are considered accepted if Monday Merch confirms such in writing. Monday Merch reserves the right to withdraw offers within 3 days of receiving the acceptance, without the contracting party being able to derive any rights from this.
Prices and Payment
3.1 Unless specifically indicated or agreed upon otherwise, all prices quoted by Monday Merch shall be applicable in addition to the applicable statutory VAT as well as other costs, such as administration fees, taxes, and travel, shipping, or transport costs. All prices quoted by Monday Merch are in Euros.
3.2 All prices applied by Monday Merch are based on the price-determining factors known at the time of the offer or quotation.
3.3 Monday Merch reserves the right to adjust prices of its products. The contracting party must have made payments in arrears within 7 days after signing the price quote. Monday Merch reserves the right to withhold on executing orders and to make a delivery conditional on immediate payment or to require security for the total amount of the services or products. If the contracting party has not paid the agreed amount by the last day of the payment period, they are legally in default and in breach of contract, without Monday Merch having to send the contracting party a reminder or having to send a notice of default.
3.4 Monday Merch is always authorized to adjust the prices immediately if a legal price-determining factor gives rise to such adjustment.
3.5 All shipping costs provided on the platform and in quotations are estimations. Due to unforeseen circumstances such as changes in destination, fluctuations in gasoline prices, or inaccurate initial estimates, the actual shipping costs may vary. In cases where the actual shipping costs exceed the estimated costs, the contracting party will be invoiced for the difference. Monday Merch is committed to transparency in this regard and does not use shipping as a profit model.
3.6 During the ordering procedure, the contracting party shall be made aware of the available payment options. Price quotes and invoices may only be paid with bank transfer (SEPA) and Credit Card (with a surcharge of 2%) and only with the express and written agreement of Monday Merch may payment methods other than bank transfer and Credit Card be acceptable.
3.7 The contracting party consents to receiving invoices only electronically.
3.8 If the contracting party fails to pay within the agreed period, Monday Merch shall be entitled to charge the statutory interest rate of 8% per month for commercial transactions from the day the contracting party is in default, with part of a month counting as a whole month. If the contracting party is in default, it shall also owe extrajudicial collection costs and any damages to Monday Merch. Collection costs are calculated according to the Decree on compensation for extrajudicial collection costs.
3.9 In the event of liquidation, bankruptcy, attachment or suspension of payments on the part of the contracting party, Monday Merch's claims against the contracting party shall become immediately due and payable.
Delivery
4.1 Unless agreed otherwise, the goods will be delivered to Monday Merch’s warehouse or the address specified by the contracting party in the main agreement.
4.2 Should Monday Merch be unable to deliver due to issues from the contracting party, the contracting party owes Monday Merch the extra costs that may incur due to the inability to deliver. Monday Merch reserves the right to forego this compensation. These issues can include but are not limited to cases where the contracting party does not provide Monday Merch with the necessary information to ship properly such as a phone number, email recipient, availability to accept the package and paying customs fees if necessary. Monday Merch reserves the right to forego this compensation.
Les délais de livraison indiqués par Monday Merch sont indicatifs et, s'ils sont dépassés, ne donnent pas droit à la résiliation ou à une indemnisation, sauf si les parties en ont expressément convenu autrement par écrit. Le dépassement du délai de livraison indiqué ne donne pas droit à une indemnisation ou au droit de résilier le contrat, sauf si Monday Merch n'est pas en mesure de livrer dans les 14 jours suivant la notification écrite ou si les parties en ont convenu autrement. Un retard de paiement entraînera un retard de la date de livraison pour coïncider avec la réception du paiement. La production commencera après que la partie contractante aura donné son consentement écrit sur la facture ou l'offre de prix, à moins que d'autres accords contractuels n'aient été établis, tels que le fait que la partie contractante n'ait pas à payer jusqu'à ce que les marchandises soient livrées à la partie contractante.
4.4 In any case, Monday Merch will be exempt from its delivery obligations and any liability for delays if a force majeure event occurs. Force majeure circumstances include, but are not limited to: supplier delays in providing raw materials, shortages of raw materials, illness, transportation issues, sabotage, strikes or lockouts, import or export restrictions, fire, war, riots, natural disasters, governmental actions, civil unrest, floods, fires, nuclear threats, unforeseen power or internet outages, telecom failures, computer viruses, strikes, unexpected transport issues, severe weather conditions, and work stoppages or other forms of destruction affecting Monday Merch’s operations. This also applies to disruptions in the supply chain, machinery or tool malfunctions, and operational breakdowns within Monday Merch's company or its suppliers, preventing timely fulfillment of obligations.
4.5 Additionally, force majeure encompasses non-performance by suppliers or other third parties.
4.6 In such cases, Monday Merch reserves the right to either terminate the contract in whole or in part or temporarily suspend its execution, without the contracting party having the right to claim damages, compensation, or request the dissolution of the contract. If a force majeure situation persists for 30 calendar days or more, either party may dissolve the agreement in full or in part by providing written notice.
4.7 Should Monday Merch be unable to deliver due to issues from the contracting party, such as providing an incorrect address, failure to accept the package, or any other reasons that prevent successful delivery, the contracting party owes Monday Merch the extra costs that may incur due to the inability to deliver. In some cases, our shipping providers may charge for additional delivery attempts. If such charges arise, the contracting party will be invoiced for these additional costs. It is the responsibility of the contracting party to provide accurate delivery information and facilitate a smooth acceptance process for the package to avoid these additional charges.
4.8 Monday Merch shall be entitled to partial delivery under the following requirements: the delivery of the remaining goods is ensured and the contracting party is not subjected to an unreasonable amount of additional costs or expenses due to the partial delivery or if Monday Merch were to agree to pay the unreasonable amount of additional costs or expenses and if the partial delivery is not unreasonable for the contracting party for other reasons.
4.9 If the packaging of a delivered product has been opened or damaged, the contracting party must, before taking delivery of the product, have a note of this made by the forwarder or delivery person. Failure of this means that Monday Merch cannot be held liable for any damage. If the contracting party arranges for transport of a product themselves, they must report any visible damage to products or packaging to Monday Merch prior to transport. Failure of this means that Monday Merch cannot be held liable for any damage.
Monday Merch propose également une livraison rapide (Fast Track Delivery), ce qui signifie que la partie contractante a la priorité dans le processus de conception, de production et d'entrepôt ainsi que dans l'expédition express. Pour que la livraison rapide s'applique, la partie contractante et Monday Merch doivent convenir par écrit d'une date de livraison spécifique. Si Monday Merch n'est pas en mesure de livrer à la date de livraison spécifique en raison de problèmes de la part de la partie contractante, la partie contractante doit à Monday Merch les frais supplémentaires qui peuvent être encourus en raison de l'impossibilité de livrer. Le dépassement de la date de livraison indiquée en raison de problèmes de Monday Merch, à l'exclusion des cas de force majeure et des problèmes de livraison causés par la partie contractante, conduira Monday Merch à indemniser la partie contractante avec 25 % de la facture originale à titre de crédit sur son prochain achat avec Monday Merch.
Transport and Transfer of Risk
5.1 Transport expenses are always paid for by the contracting party, unless otherwise agreed in writing. These expenses include customs and duties unless otherwise agreed upon.
5.2 The contracting party is always responsible for any damage, loss, or potential delays caused by courier services or mail-order businesses throughout the shipping process. The contracting party may request a specific courier service but will continue to carry the transport risk.

Retention of Title
6.1 Until the Buyer has fully complied with all its obligations, all items delivered by Monday Merch shall remain Monday Merch's property.

As long as the ownership of the delivered goods is reserved to Monday Merch, the Buyer is prohibited from selling, transferring, or disposing of these goods, except in the normal course of business, and from establishing any security interest or encumbrance on them or in any way removing them from Monday Merch’s claim.
6.4 If the Buyer fails to comply with the obligations set forth in this Article 6, Monday Merch is entitled, after issuing a notice of default but without requiring judicial intervention, to reclaim the goods that are still owned by Monday Merch due to the retention of title or by any other means. The Buyer must disclose the location of the goods and grant Monday Merch permission in advance to enter the relevant premises to recover the goods.
6.5 The reserved products will remain Monday Merch's property until all claims ,future or existing, Monday Merch has against the contracting party have been satisfied, regardless of legal justifications. All claims resulting from resale of items which are still the property of Monday Merch are automatically transferred to Monday Merch. Monday Merch reserves the right, in case of non-payment to sell the items to a third party. The contracting party has no right to seek reimbursement or compensation in such a case.
6.6 The above articles f. 6.1 apply also if the goods are stored with Monday Merch. If storage fees are unpaid within the agreed timeframe, Monday Merch reserves the right to remove or dispose of goods, following reasonable notice to the client. Costs related to disposal will be the client’s responsibility.
Obstacles or delays that affect performance
7.1 In the case that a force majeure event makes the performance for Monday Merch impossible or excessively difficult, Monday Merch shall have the right to terminate the agreement. In the case of such an event Monday Merch shall notify the contracting party as soon as possible of such an event.
7.2 The contractual partner's potential right to terminate the agreement because performance is impossible is up to the applicable law.

Acceptance and Challenge of Items and Warranty
8.1 Monday Merch warrants that the contractual products it has provided are free from flaws and have all the qualities it has promised. Still, a warranty has to be expressly given. The warranty relating to products applies only to defects caused by faulty manufacture, construction or material. The warranty does not apply in the case of normal wear and tear and damage caused by accidents, modifications made to the product, negligence or incompetent use by the contracting party, as well as when the cause of the defect cannot be clearly determined.
8.2 The contracting party shall examine a product delivered or service provided by Monday Merch for any defects immediately. If a product delivered or service rendered does not meet what the contracting party could reasonably expect from the agreement, the contracting party must inform Monday Merch through a registered letter describing the defect as detailed as possible, as soon as possible, but in any case within 1 week of discovering the defect. If no complaint has been delivered within 1 week, the lack of complaint is considered the acceptance of the item, unless such a defect was not recognisable. Defects that were not visible upon delivery must be reported to Monday Merch within 1 week of their discovery, and in any case within 1 week from when the Buyer should reasonably have discovered them. The complaint must accurately describe the nature and basis of the complaint. A challenge after 1 week is not possible. A contracting party shall not refuse delivery for a small defect.
8.3 If there are flaws in parts of the items, this does not entitle the contracting party to challenge the entire shipment of items. Such flaws, if announced within 1 week, can only result in a price reduction. The contracting party is not entitled to a replacement or monetary compensation.
8.4 All rights and claims of the Buyer regarding the payment of any monetary amount, the repair of the relevant goods, the replacement of the relevant goods, or the delivery of a shortage, for any reason, as well as any right to terminate the agreement, shall expire at the earliest of the following times:
if notification is not made in accordance with Article 8.2, or
12 months after the delivery date.
8.5 Monday Merch reserves its right to inspect the item for defects and the contracting party has to comply with such a request.

8.6 Monday Merch’s information online, price lists and other documents given to the contracting party, including descriptions, visual illustrations of the products, dimensions and other technical particulars are only approximations unless contractually an identical product is required. These are intended to give a description of the performance and should not be interpreted as describing actual properties and promising an exact match. Small color variations cannot be considered a defect. A guarantee of an exact match can only be given expressly if using the term guarantee.
8.7 Minor deviations cannot be used as a basis for refusing payment, claiming damages, refusing products or demanding the termination of the contract.
8.8 If a contracting party wishes to receive samples of products from Monday Merch, they may be charged for these samples. Should the contracting party decide not to place an order after receiving and reviewing the samples, the costs of the samples will be invoiced to the contracting party.
