General Terms and Conditions

of VICE SPORTING GOODS GmbH

(Current as of March 18, 2020)

These are the general terms and conditions of Vice Sporting Goods GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Vice Golf”). All our deliveries and services are provided exclusively based on these GTCs.

Explicitly excluded from this are deliveries and services of Vice Sporting Goods, Inc. with a scope of application in the USA and Canada.

§ 1 Scope

All deliveries, services, and offers from Vice Golf are based exclusively on these terms and conditions, unless the parties explicitly agree otherwise. The version valid at the time of contract conclusion is decisive.

§ 2 Conclusion of Contract

Goods and services presented on the internet, in brochures, and advertisements do not constitute a legally binding offer from Vice Golf. They are an invitation for the customer to submit a binding offer to Vice Golf.

The customer can place an order with Vice Golf via the online shop (www.vicegolf.com) by clicking the “Buy” button in the final step of the ordering process (Checkout), by phone, or by fax. In the online shop, a confirmation window with the order details is displayed before completing the ordering process. By ordering the desired goods, the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract. Vice Golf will confirm receipt of the order in text form. This confirmation does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order. The purchase contract is only concluded when Vice Golf sends the customer an explicit order confirmation or dispatches the ordered goods to the customer.

Vice Golf reserves the right to reject customer orders on a case-by-case basis. Orders may be rejected, in particular, if the order deviates from the requirements specified by Vice Golf, if the customer is deemed credit-unworthy, if billing information cannot be verified, if delivery to the address provided by the customer is not possible, if the desired product is not in stock, or if the stated price was incorrect.

§ 3 Copyrights

Vice Golf is not the copyright holder of the logos and images displayed as customer and print examples on its website. Instead, each partner of Vice Golf or a customer or other third party who provided the images and granted Vice Golf an unrestricted right of use is the copyright holder. The respective partner has further assured Vice Golf that no copyright, other protective rights, or other third-party rights impede the described use of the images.

The sold products may only be used by the customer for private use indefinitely and worldwide. Commercial resale, as well as any duplication, distribution, public accessibility, modification, and processing of the products, is particularly prohibited in this regard.

§ 4 Customer Obligations

The processing of delivered data and the customer’s image products takes place within the framework of a technically automated process without manual pre-checking and correction by Vice Golf. By uploading files, the customer confirms that they have the right to distribute and duplicate the contents and materials of these files. The customer guarantees that the contents and materials of any transmitted file do not violate applicable law. Specifically, the customer guarantees that:

• No illegal, violence-glorifying, hate-inciting, racist templates, materials, and content, propaganda materials, insignia of unconstitutional parties or their replacement organizations, or instructions for committing crimes, pornographic templates, materials, or content that involve the sexual abuse of children or sexual acts with animals, and no discriminatory statements or representations regarding race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age are transmitted to Vice Golf;

• No youth protection laws or criminal laws are violated. This particularly applies to the statutory regulations of §§ 184 ff StGB (Dissemination of Pornography), §§ 185 ff StGB (Insult, Defamation, Slander), as well as the provisions of the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Young Persons in the Media;

• The templates (especially image and text files), content, and materials transmitted to Vice Golf do not infringe upon any copyright, trademark, or other protective rights of third parties, the general personal rights, or other rights of third parties.

§ 5 Delivery

Delivery is made from Vice Golf’s warehouse unless a different agreement has been made in writing.

Vice Golf strives to adhere to the delivery times stated on the website. If the ordered goods cannot be delivered within these times, Vice Golf will inform you immediately. In this case, the customer is free to wait for the ordered goods or, after setting a reasonable grace period, withdraw from the contract. The obligation to set a grace period does not apply if it is unreasonable for the customer. This is especially the case if a so-called fixed business exists or the interest in setting a grace period ceases for compelling legal reasons.

In the event of impossibility of delivery or delivery disruptions beyond Vice Golf’s control (especially due to force majeure) and not caused by Vice Golf’s fault, both Vice Golf and the customer are entitled to withdraw from the contract. In the event of withdrawal, any already provided services will be refunded by Vice Golf immediately.

Orders and other services will only be fulfilled by Vice Golf if there are no payment arrears from other contracts with the customer. Customer payments will be offset with outstanding claims and interest against the customer in the order of their respective due dates.

Shipping Costs:

• Within Germany: EUR 5.99 per order

• Within the EU (except Germany and Sweden): EUR 7.99 per order

• Within Sweden: SEK 79.00 per order

• Within Switzerland: CHF 8.99 per order

• Within the United Kingdom: GBP 4.99 per order

• Within other countries from www.vicegolf.com/de: EUR 49.99 per order

For shipping, Vice Golf provides the customer’s postal and email address to our shipping service provider for the purpose of delivery and package notification. This transmission is based on §5 PDSV (Postal Data Protection Regulation) and §28 Para.1 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) within the framework of the shipping order between Vice Golf and the shipping service provider for the purpose of delivery and does not require the recipient’s or customer’s consent. The shipping service provider processes this data exclusively for this purpose. The data is collected on a shipment/order basis and stored in our databases in accordance with legal requirements for archiving periods, for example, for complaint and billing purposes. Customers can request the blocking of the email address for package notifications from the respective shipping service provider.

§ 6 Payment Terms

Payment for goods can be made by credit card or PayPal. Vice Golf reserves the right to accept only certain payment methods in individual cases or depending on the delivery method selected by the customer. Payment by sending cash or checks is not possible.

Vice Golf accepts the credit cards VISA, MasterCard, and American Express. Payment by credit card and PayPal is processed by PAYONE GmbH. For the payment process, the customer needs to provide the following information, which is forwarded to the payment service provider for processing: name of the credit card holder, card number, expiration date, and CVV (three-digit number on the back). To ensure secure data transmission, we use SSL encryption. The credit card is checked for creditworthiness and security upon order receipt.

All stated prices include the statutory VAT. Exception Switzerland: Here, the prices include all customs clearance costs and Swiss VAT, which is paid directly by Vice Golf to the Swiss state.

Our prices are included in the order confirmation and are due for payment with the order. We do not accept any deductions from the stated invoice amount (discounts or similar trade customs) and proactively oppose conflicting general terms and conditions or other regulations of our contractual partners.

Redeeming vouchers/promotional codes is only possible directly at checkout. Subsequent offsetting is not possible. To apply a voucher/promotional code, you must enter the voucher code in the designated field during the payment process and click “Activate.” If the voucher code is correct, the voucher discount and the corresponding final amount of the items will be visible in the shopping cart after activation. If an incorrect voucher code is entered, the notice “Voucher Code invalid” will appear above the voucher field. In this case, the voucher code could not be applied. Only one voucher can be redeemed per order. Vouchers cannot be combined.

§ 7 Right of Withdrawal

The customer has, upon concluding a distance selling contract, a statutory right of withdrawal, which Vice Golf informs about below in accordance with the legal model.

Right of Withdrawal Instruction

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, have taken possession of the goods.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Vice Sporting Goods GmbH, Paul-Heyse-Str. 28, 80336 Munich, Germany, Email: support@vicegolf.com) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post, fax, or email). You can use the attached withdrawal form, but it is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication regarding your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Consequences of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including the delivery costs (except for the additional costs arising from your choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any case not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. For this reimbursement, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in no case will you be charged fees for this reimbursement. We may withhold the reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever comes first.

You must send back the goods to Vice Golf without undue delay and in any case not later than fourteen days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the withdrawal period expires.

You will bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply, unless otherwise specified, to distance selling contracts for the supply of goods that are not prefabricated and for which an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive for their manufacture or are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer. This particularly, but not exclusively, applies to individualized golf balls/logo balls.

• Ordered on ()/received on ()

• Name of consumer(s)

• Address of consumer(s)

§ 8 Warranty

Enforcement of Claims and Deadlines

The statutory warranty period is two years and begins with the delivery of the goods. During this time, we will repair all defects subject to the statutory warranty obligation free of charge. Please report errors/damages immediately to the carrier or Vice Golf.

Your warranty claims are initially limited to supplementary performance. If this fails, you can, at your option—provided the special legal conditions are met—assert a claim for withdrawal from the contract or reduction of the purchase price, as well as a claim for damages. Please note, however, that normal signs of wear do not fall under the warranty, and specifically golf balls are subject to heavy wear and are consumable items.

For merchants, the legal provisions, examination and complaint duties under the German Commercial Code (HGB) apply.

Unavailable Items

If a particular item is unavailable, we reserve the right to send you a qualitatively and price-wise equivalent item (replacement item). You can also return this within 14 days if you do not like it.

Individualized Products / Logo Balls

Custom-printed golf balls/logo balls cannot be returned unless they are incorrectly printed. For the size specification of the balls you ordered online through our VICE ID Service (or MY OWN VICE), the visible preview is decisive. The printing area does not exceed 2.2 cm in diameter.

Please also note that after the printing process, the color printed on the golf ball requires a drying time of up to two weeks. Only then is the maximum adhesion of the color achieved.

The personalization of our golf balls occurs subsequently—the balls must be placed by hand for this process, which may result in slight deviations in alignment. Of course, careful alignment is ensured, but a minor tolerance in alignment is unavoidable.

Generally, when manufacturing a golf ball, the golf ball’s brand logo is printed under the last layer of lacquer on the golf ball. This process offers maximum protection and durability but can only be offered for individualized golf balls in large quantities (from 6,000 balls) and is associated with waiting times of approximately 2.5 months. The ball printing we perform for smaller quantities (under 6,000 units) is applied subsequently to the golf ball. This process offers comparable durability to the printing under the last layer of lacquer. However, the additional protection against the impact of clubs, grass, and other objects is missing. This reduces durability and can lead to abrasion of the print. These abrasions represent normal wear and tear.

§ 9 Limitation of Liability

There is, in principle, the statutory liability for defects, unless otherwise regulated in §8 or §9 of these GTCs.

Vice Golf is liable, with the exception of injury to life, body, and health, and the violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), only for damages resulting from intentional or grossly negligent behavior. This also applies to indirect consequential damages, such as lost profits.

Liability towards consumers, except in cases of intentional or grossly negligent behavior or damages resulting from injury to life, body, and health, and the violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), is limited to damages that were typically foreseeable at the time of contract conclusion and, in other respects, limited in amount to the average contractual damages. This also applies to indirect consequential damages, such as lost profits.

Liability towards entrepreneurs, except in cases of injury to life, body, and health or intentional or grossly negligent behavior by Vice Golf, is limited to damages that were typically foreseeable at the time of contract conclusion and, in other respects, limited in amount to the average contractual damages. This also applies to indirect damages, particularly lost profits.

The limitation of liability also applies accordingly in favor of Vice Golf’s employees and vicarious agents.

Claims for liability under the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.

§ 10 Retention of Title

For consumers, we reserve ownership of the purchased goods until full payment of the invoice amount is received.

If you are an entrepreneur in the exercise of your commercial or independent professional activity, a legal entity under public law, or a public-law special fund, we reserve ownership of the purchased goods until all outstanding claims from the business relationship with the purchaser are settled. The corresponding security rights are transferable to third parties.

If the customer is in default with any payment obligations towards Vice Golf, all existing claims become immediately due.

§ 11 Data Protection

Regarding data protection, Vice Golf’s data protection information applies. Details can be found in our Privacy Policy (#).

§ 12 Destruction of Transmitted Material

All templates and documents, especially all digital storage media that the customer has sent to Vice Golf to fulfill the contract, will not be returned by Vice Golf but will be destroyed after fulfillment of the contract. Upon the customer’s explicit request, Vice Golf will, of course, return the submitted documents to the customer. The costs incurred for shipping are to be borne by the customer.

Vice Golf reserves the right to make a backup copy, especially of the digitally transmitted templates, materials, and content of the customer, in order to ensure immediate rectification in the event of a rectification request from the customer. The data stored on the backup copy is used by Vice Golf exclusively for the purpose of rectification. After the warranty period expires, Vice Golf will promptly destroy the backup copy.

§ 13 Consumer Dispute Resolution Body

Vice Golf does not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

§ 14 Language

The language of the contract is German.

§ 15 Applicable Law

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The applicability of mandatory provisions of the state in which the customer has their habitual residence at the time of contract conclusion remains unaffected by this choice of law.

§ 16 Severability Clause

Should one or more provisions of these general terms and conditions be or become invalid or unenforceable, this does not affect the validity of the remaining terms and conditions. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that comes as close as possible to the economic and legal intent of the parties with the original regulation. This also applies to any contractual gaps.
