Terms and conditions

These Terms and Conditions of Business form the basis of all contracts for deliveries and services of Shortcut IT GmbH (hereinafter also referred to as Shortcut IT or we) based on orders placed via the Internet or other means of remote communication (e-mail, letter, fax, telephone etc.). Deviating and/or supplementary agreements require our express written consent.

The contract is concluded within 2 days after your order through our declaration of acceptance. Alternatively also if you receive the goods delivered within this period or the contractually agreed service is provided to you.

Unless otherwise specified during the ordering process, the delivery of goods (here: shipment of the license file(s)) usually within 2-3 days, but at most within 7 days after conclusion of the contract.

Downloads and software activations (digital contents not on a physical data carrier) are provided immediately with the consent of the customer and can be used directly.

The scope of use, period of use and costs will be specified individually upon conclusion of the contract.

As far as you as a consumer are entitled to a legal right of revocation, you will receive a revocation instruction and a sample revocation form with our order confirmation. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor their independent professional activity. If you do not act as a consumer when concluding a legal transaction, the right of revocation does not exist.

Downloads, software activations: The right of revocation expires in accordance with § 356 para. 5 BGB (German Civil Code) in the case of a contract for the delivery of digital content not contained on a physical data carrier, even if the entrepreneur has started to execute the contract after the consumer has expressly agreed that the entrepreneur will start to execute the contract before the end of the revocation period and has confirmed that he is aware that he will lose his right of revocation by giving his consent when the execution of the contract starts.

Unless otherwise stated, invoices of Shortcut IT GmbH are due immediately and payable without any deduction. Without the need for a reminder, in the event of non-payment you shall be in default 30 days after due date and receipt of the invoice if we have pointed out this consequence to you in the invoice. However, we can put you in default by sending you a reminder in advance. The default interest for consumers is 5% points and for entrepreneurs 9% points above the respective base interest rate, unless we can demand higher interest for another reason. Cheques are only accepted on account of performance. Any bank charges shall be borne by you. You may only offset against undisputed or legally established claims. You may only assert a right of retention if it is based on the same contractual relationship.

We are at liberty to provide you with the invoices by letter post or by electronic means (e.g. by e-mail). If you are in default of payment, we are entitled to refuse the service owed until the consideration has been paid in full (right of retention) or to terminate the contract extraordinarily for good cause.

Should you make use of your right of revocation, please contact us by e-mail to kundenbetreuung@shortcut-it.com, stating your invoice number. You are also welcome to contact us in writing at the address
