Apart from the provisions included here in 3, Refurbed provides exclusively the technical possibility for the use of the Platform by the Users.
Contracts for the Products offered by the Merchants are concluded directly between the Merchant and the Customer, Refurbed expressly does not become a party to the contracts concluded between the Users. Participating Users are exclusively responsible for the fulfilment of the obligations arising from these contracts.
The details, in particular the essential features of the Products and services for the Users, can be found in the Product descriptions and the supplementary information on the Platform. Apart from the provisions included herein3, these are provided exclusively by the Merchants and are therefore not legally binding offers by Refurbed. Refurbed assumes no liability for the information of the Product itself, nor for prices, availability or delivery times.
Refurbed also offers its own Products for sale on the Platform. The contract is concluded directly with Refurbed exclusively for the Products where Refurbed is indicated as seller on the Platform and Refurbed is responsible for the performance of these contracts.
In order to be able to use the services of the Platform as a Merchant, the (potential) Merchant is obliged to register on the Platform and to create a “shop”/merchant account.
The possibility to register as a Merchant exists exclusively for business person within the meaning of §§ 1 to 3 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB). Refurbed is entitled, but not obliged, to check the Merchant’s status prior to registration. Refurbed reserves the right to demand proof of this status from the (potential) Merchant prior to and during the Merchant’s use of the Platform.
Prior to registration, a detailed initial meeting shall take place between Refurbed and the Merchant during which the suitability of the Merchant is assessed on the one hand and the qualitative requirements of Refurbed are presented in detail on the other. After Refurbed has determined the suitability of the Merchant, Refurbed shall send the Merchant the Merchant Guide, the Quality Charter and the General Terms and Conditions to the e-mail address provided by the (potential) Merchant.
Should the merchant agree to the qualitative standards of refurbed as well as the terms listed in the merchant’s guide, the merchant can register under the following link:https://apply.refurbed.io. By submitting his data within the scope of registration, the Merchant agrees to the validity and content of the GTC, the Merchant Guide and the Quality Charter.
After creating the “shop”/merchant account, refurbed shall send the Merchant the access data to the platform. Only then is the contract for the use of the Platform concluded between refurbed and the Merchant. refurbed is free to refuse the conclusion of the contract, in particular with regard to the Products to be offered by the Merchant.
The Merchant is obliged to notify refurbed of any data changes (e.g. company name, address) in writing or by email to the following address seller@refurbed.com without delay, but no later than two weeks after the respective change.
Merchants are obliged to keep the access data of the “shop”/merchant account secret and not to transfer it to any third party. Merchants shall immediately notify refurbed of any misuse and any other unauthorised use by third parties. Until receipt of this notice, any access and any action or use of services related to its “shop”/merchants account shall be attributed to the merchant.

Prior to placing a binding order, the customer has the option to amend or delete the data requested, or terminate the registration or purchasing process by closing the browser window or clicking on the back button.
By pressing the button “Order with obligation to pay”, a Customer account is automatically created and consent to these GTC is given. However, this does not constitute a contract between the Merchant and the Customer. The Customer thus only makes an offer to the Merchant, which refurbed (as an intermediate) forwards to the Merchant. The Merchant decides independently whether to accept the offer. The contract between the Customer and the Merchant is concluded by dispatch of the ordered Products.
Every Customer is obliged to keep the data of the Customer account secret and not to pass it on to any third party. Each Customer shall immediately notify refurbed of any misuse or other unauthorised use by third parties. Until receipt of this notification, each access and each action or use of services in connection with the Customer account shall be attributed to the Customer.
The particulars of the order process are determined by the individual merchants. All information that is required as part of any given order is transmitted via email and partly automated. It is the user’s responsibility to make sure his email address is correct and up-to-date and that technical glitches or the SPAM filter do not impede the communication process.
The contract for the use of the platform is concluded for an indefinite period.
refurbed has the right to temporarily block a Merchant or to terminate the contractual relationship with a Merchant at any time with immediate effect and to delete the Merchant’s account if the Merchant publishes illegal content or content that violates the GTC on the platform.

In the event of unlawful conduct or conduct by Customers in breach of the GTC, refurbed may also temporarily block customer accounts or terminate the contractual relationship and permanently delete their account.
