Last Update: 9. December 2025

Table of contents

1. Validity of the GTC

  1. The following General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) shall apply exclusively to the business relationship between Laser Medicine Services GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Vendor”) and the purchaser, who is hereinafter referred to as “Customer”, of the Vendor’s products.
  2. Deviating terms and conditions of the Customer shall not be accepted, even if the Vendor fulfils his/her contractual obligations without objection, unless the Vendor expressly agrees to the validity of the Customer’s deviating terms and conditions.
  3. All personal terms apply equally to both genders. For reasons of better readability, the simultaneous use of masculine and feminine forms of language has been dispensed with.
  4. A “Consumer” within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither attributable to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity.
  5. “Entrepreneur” within the meaning of the GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity.
  6. “Product” within the terms and conditions refers to any goods, services, and other performances offered by the seller, including any accessories and accompanying documentation, which are subject to the contract between the seller and the customer according to the product description provided by the seller to the customer or other agreement.
  7. Regardless of the terminology used in the GTC, such as “Vendor”, the legal classification of the contract and the applicable statutory regulations are always determined by the legal requirements of the respective types of contracts. These GTC do not limit the statutory definitions and regulations in any way.

2. General Information on Offers and Orders

  1. The presentation of the products in the shop, on websites and in digital printed brochures or catalogues or comparable product presentations of the Vendor does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to place an order and thus the offer of the Customer.
  2. Customers are responsible for ensuring that the details they provide are accurate and for notifying any changes to the Vendor if they are necessary for the Vendor’s fulfilment of the contract. In particular, Customers are responsible for ensuring that the e-mail and delivery addresses they provide are accurate and that any obstructions to receipt for which Customers are responsible are taken into account accordingly (e.g. by checking the spam folder of the email software used).
  3. Customers are requested to carefully read and observe the instructions during the ordering process and, if necessary, to use the available support functions of their software and hardware (e.g. magnification or read-aloud functions). Required information will be appropriately identified as such by the Seller for the Customers (e.g. by optical highlighting and/or asterisk signs). Until the order is submitted, the Customers can change and view the product selection and their entries at any time, as well as go back in the ordering process or cancel the ordering process altogether. For this purpose, the Customers can use the available and common functions of their software and/or end device (e.g. the forward and back buttons of the browser or keyboard, mouse and gesture functions on mobile devices). Furthermore, unwanted entries can be corrected by canceling the ordering process.

3. Ordering Process and Conclusion of Contract

  1. The Customer can select from the products offered in the Vendor’s assortment to the Customer and collect them in a so-called shopping basket. In the selection within the shopping basket, the product selection can be changed, e.g. deleted. Otherwise, the customer can initiate the completion of the order process.
  2. By clicking on the button that concludes the ordering process, the Customer makes a binding offer to the Vendor to purchase the products in the shopping basket.
  3. The Vendor accepts the Customer’s offer, whichever event occurs first, a) by an explicit declaration of acceptance in text form (e.g. by e-mail), b) by the completion of the payment process, c) by a payment request addressed to the Customer, d) in the case of an order involving physical items, by dispatch of the item, in the case of a service, by its commencement, and otherwise by the provision of the product in accordance with the contract. The Vendor may accept the Customer’s offer within the acceptance period. The acceptance period is five days. The acceptance period begins with the completion of the order process by the Customer (in the shop, or if applicable and designated, on the platform used or via other means of communication) and ends at the close of its final day. If the Vendor does not accept the Customer’s offer within the acceptance period, no contract is concluded and the Customer is no longer bound by their offer.

4. Contract Text and Contract Language

  1. The Vendor saves the text of the contract and makes it available to the Customers in text form (e.g. by e-mail or printed with the delivery of the order). The Customer can print the text of the contract before submitting the order to the Vendor by using the print function of his browser or the save function for web pages in the last step of the ordering process.
  2. If Customers have created a customer account, they can view their placed orders in their account. The full text of the contract is not accessible in the account area.
  3. The contract languages are German and English, contracts can be concluded in these languages.

5. Delivery and Availability of Goods

  1. The ordered goods will be delivered to the specified delivery address, unless otherwise agreed.
  2. If a payment service provider is used with whom a delivery address is deposited and this delivery address is notified to the Vendor as being decisive for the ordered delivery through the use of the means of payment by the Customer, the goods shall be delivered to the deviating delivery address.
  3. Should the delivery of the goods fail through the fault of the Customer despite three attempts at delivery, the Vendor may withdraw from the contract. Any payments made will be refunded to the Customer without delay.
  4. If the ordered product is not available because the Vendor is not supplied with this product by its supplier through no fault of its own, in particular with regard to securing the supply and a possible as well as reasonable effort on its part, the Vendor may withdraw from the contract. If no comparable product is available or if the Customer does not wish a comparable product to be delivered, the Vendor shall immediately reimburse the Customer for any payments already made.

6. Cancellation conditions for services

  1. The Customer may cancel a booked service prior to the start of performance. The cancellation must be made in text form, for example by email. The relevant point in time for calculating any cancellation fees is the moment the Provider receives the cancellation. Statutory rights of withdrawal remain unaffected.
  2. The cancellation provisions do not affect the statutory rights of Customers who are consumers to withdraw from, rescind, or otherwise terminate the contract. Statutory mandatory rights of consumers remain unaffected by the cancellation provisions.
  3. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the following cancellation rules apply to consumers, whereby the consumer retains the right to prove that no damage or substantially less damage has occurred:
    • Cancellations up to 14 days before the agreed start of service are free of charge.
    • For cancellations between 13 and 7 days before the start of service, a flat compensation fee of 30% of the agreed remuneration will be charged.
    • For cancellations less than 7 days before the start of service or in the event of no-show, the flat compensation fee amounts to 60% of the agreed remuneration.

    The above flat rates take into account, in particular, the fact that the appointment reserved for the consumer generally cannot be reassigned at short notice, resulting in a loss of income. This occurs because the reserved time could not be used otherwise, preparation- or material-related expenses were incurred, or third-party services were already commissioned. In addition to the stated flat rates, any further damage may be claimed if such damage has occurred and is proven by the provider.

    These cancellation rules do not affect the consumer’s statutory rights of withdrawal, cancellation, or any other rights to terminate the contract.

  4. If a cancellation is made at a time when the Provider has already begun delivering the service, the Customer shall owe prorated remuneration for the services already provided as well as reimbursement of demonstrable expenses incurred in connection with the performance, insofar as these could not reasonably have been avoided. For lump-sum remuneration agreements, the calculation is based on the ratio between the services already provided and the total scope contractually agreed.
  5. A free cancellation is possible if unforeseeable, serious circumstances arise that demonstrably render participation unreasonable for the Customer. This also applies in well-founded exceptional cases involving a close family member where the situation requires the Customer’s immediate personal presence. Such circumstances may include medical emergencies requiring inpatient or intensive care treatment, severe accident-related injuries or deaths, as well as significant property damage caused by fire, natural events or traffic accidents on the day of the event. To qualify for a free cancellation, appropriate evidence must be submitted within a reasonable period.

7. Promotional vouchers

  1. “Promotion Vouchers” are vouchers which are issued free of charge by the Vendor within the scope of, for example, promotional campaigns (e.g. discount vouchers with percentage or fixed discounts). In contrast, vouchers that embody a certain monetary or material value and are purchased by the Customer as a product shall not be considered Promotion Vouchers.
  2. Promotion Vouchers can only be accepted on the terms and conditions communicated, subject to restrictions, e.g. validity for certain product groups, frequency of use and, in particular, only within the specified time limit.
  3. Unless otherwise stated, Promotional Vouchers cannot be combined with other Promotional Vouchers.
  4. Unless otherwise stated, the Promotional Vouchers issued to recipients may not be transferred to third parties.
  5. Promotion vouchers issued by the Vendor may only be redeemed with the Vendor.
  6. Unless otherwise stated, Promotion Vouchers can only be redeemed prior to completion of the order process.
  7. If an amount remains to be paid after a Promotional Voucher has been redeemed, this can be settled using the payment options offered by the Vendor.
  8. If a Promotion Voucher exceeds a value of goods, it will only be taken into account up to the value of the goods without any payment of the remaining amount.

8. Customer Account

  1. The Vendor provides the Customer with a Customer account. Within the Customer account, the Customer is provided with information about the orders and their Customer data stored with the Vendor. The information stored in the Customer account is not public.
  2. Customers can also place an order as a guest without having to create a Customer account.
  3. Customers are obligated to provide truthful information in their Customer account and to adjust the information in case of changes in the actual circumstances, as far as this is necessary (e.g. the changed email address in case of a change or the changed postal address before an order). Customers are responsible for any disadvantages that may arise due to incorrect information.
  4. Customers are responsible for their customer accounts within their sphere of influence and to the extent that it is reasonable for them to assume responsibility. It is the customers’ responsibility to use the access data for their customer account with the utmost care and to take any measures to ensure the confidential and secure handling of the data and to prevent disclosure to third parties. Customers are required to inform the Vendor immediately if there is reason to suspect that a third party has knowledge of access data and/or is misusing the customer account.
  5. The Customer account may only be used in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, in particular the regulations for the protection of third-party rights, and subject to the Vendor’s GTC, using the access masks and other technical access options provided by the Vendor. Any other type of use, in particular by external software such as bots or crawlers, is prohibited.
  6. When customers store, share or otherwise publish content or information in their customer account, they are responsible for that content. Depending on technical capabilities, this content includes texts, images and personal details. The seller does not endorse the customers’ content and does not identify with it. However, the seller reserves the right to take necessary actions in cases of legal issues or threats to third parties.These actions are based on carefully selected criteria with the aim of ensuring that each action is justified. It is assessed whether an action is necessary to resolve the problem or avert the danger. Furthermore, it is evaluated whether the action is proportionate to the seriousness of the problem or threat. Care is also taken to ensure that it is carried out with due diligence and after a thorough assessment of all relevant information and circumstances. Finally, the action must be based on an objective and unbiased assessment of the situation.Possible actions include deleting the relevant content, requests for statements or corrections, warnings, legal steps or even bans from premises. In deciding upon these measures, the seller takes into careful consideration the requirements of the situation and the rights and interests of all parties involved. In particular, customers’ fundamental rights are taken into account in order to ensure a fair and equitable solution.
  7. Customers can cancel their customer account at any time. The Vendor can cancel the customer account at any time with reasonable notice, which is usually two weeks. The termination must be reasonable for the customer. The Vendor reserves the right to terminate for exceptional reasons.
  8. From the moment of termination, the Customer account and the information stored in the Customer account will no longer be available to the Customer. It is the Customer’s responsibility to secure their data upon termination of the Customer account.

9. Prices and Shipping Costs

  1. Unless otherwise stated, all prices are total prices including the applicable statutory value added tax (VAT).
  2. The delivery and shipping charges incurred in addition to the sales price will be notified or linked to the Customer in the respective product description and before the order is completed.

10. Payment Methods and Terms

  1. Unless otherwise agreed, payments shall be made without discounts, reductions or other rebates.
  2. When using financial institutions and other payment service providers, the terms and conditions and data protection information of the payment service providers also apply with regard to payment. Customers are requested to observe these regulations and notes as well as information within the framework of the payment process. This is particularly because the provision of payment methods or the course of the payment procedure may also depend on the agreements between the Customer and financial institutions and payment service providers (e.g. agreed spending limits, location-restricted payment options, verification procedures, etc.).
  3. The Customer shall ensure that the Customer fulfills the conditions incumbent upon the Customer, which are necessary for successful payment by means of the selected payment method. This includes, in particular, sufficient coverage of bank and other payment accounts, registration, legitimation and authorization with payment services and confirmation of transactions.
  4. If a payment is not made or reversed due to insufficient funds in the Customer’s account, the provision of incorrect bank details or an unjustified objection by the Customer, then the Customer shall bear the fees incurred as a result, provided that the Customer is responsible for the failed or reversed booking and, in the case of a SEPA credit transfer, was informed of the transfer in good time (so-called “pre-notification”).
  5. If the Vendor assigns its payment claim against the Customer to payment service providers, the payment with debt-discharging effect can only be made to the respective payment service provider. The contractual obligations of the Vendor towards the Customer, in particular the performance and warranty obligations, observance of withdrawals as well as contractual ancillary obligations shall not be affected by the assignment.
  6. PayPal – The payment is made through the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: “PayPal”) by means of the type of PayPal payment provided by the seller or selected by Customers. Customers are redirected directly to PayPal at the end of the order process. The terms of use of PayPal apply, which can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/uk/legalhub/home and will be communicated to the Customer during the payment process.
  7. PayPal Express – The customer pays the amount owed by means of the PayPal transaction.
  8. PayPal Plus (PayPal) – The Customer must have a PayPal account and pays the amount owed by means of the PayPal transaction process.
  9. PayPal Plus (Direct Debit) – The Customer can pay by means of PayPal’s direct debit procedure even if he does not have a PayPal account. The Customer issues a SEPA direct debit mandate to PayPal. By issuing the SEPA direct debit mandate, PayPal is authorized to initiate the payment transaction, which automatically debits the Customer’s bank account. The Customer will be informed about the date of the debit of the bank account (referred to as “Pre-Notification”).
  10. PayPal Plus (Credit Card) – The customer can pay by credit card via PayPal even if he does not have a PayPal account. The Customers must identify themselves as a legitimate Cardholder in order to make the payment before the payment transaction is executed and the Customer’s account is automatically debited.
  11. PayPal Credit – Requirement for a payment in installments via PayPal is a successful verification of the address and the creditworthiness of the customer by PayPal. The Vendor assigns the payment to PayPal, a debt-discharging payment can only be made to PayPal in accordance with PayPal’s terms and conditions.

11. Purchase on account

If the Vendor performs in advance, the delivered products shall remain the property of the Vendor until payment has been made in full.

12. Instructions on Withdrawal

  1. The information on the right of withdrawal for Consumers can be found in the Vendor’s instructions on withdrawal.
  2. The provisions of these GTC do not limit the statutory rights of withdrawal, cancellation, termination, warranty, and defects as well as other mandatory rights of the Customer and their related payment and other claims, and are subordinate to these rights.

13. Warranty and Liability

  1. The warranty (liability for defects) and liability for other poor performance are subject to statutory provisions, except as otherwise provided.
  2. The Vendor shall not be liable for the Customer’s Internet connection or the software and hardware used by the Customer or any disruptions caused by them to the conclusion or performance of the contract between the Customer and the Vendor.
  3. The Vendor shall be liable for damages without limitation insofar as the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence. Furthermore, the Vendor shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract, for the breach of obligations, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the compliance with which the customer regularly relies (cardinal obligations) or in the case of agreed guarantee commitments. In this case, however, the Vendor shall only be liable for the foreseeable, contract-typical and expectable damage. The Vendor shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned above. The above limitations of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health, for a defect following the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the product and in the event of fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the product liability law remains unaffected. Insofar as the Vendor’s liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents. In all other respects, claims for damages by the Customer shall be excluded. The above liability provisions shall also apply to claims for damages by the Customer under the Vendor’s statutory warranty.
  4. The limitations of warranty and liability obligations as well as shortening of deadlines in this respect shall not apply to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses of the Customer, goods that have been used in accordance with their customary use for a building and have caused its defectiveness as well as to existing update obligations in the case of contracts for digital products.

14. Data protection and confidentiality

The Provider processes personal data exclusively in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and only to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract. Details regarding data processing and the rights of data subjects can be found in the Provider’s privacy policy.

15. Consumer Dispute Resolution

We are not willing and not obliged to participate in any dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
