1.1 The following General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter «GTCs») shall regulate the con­clusion, the content and the performance of all agreements between KASPERSKIAN AG (hereinafter «KASPERSKIAN») and its customers (hereinafter «Customer»), in particular sales agreements and orders through the online shop.

1.2 By submitting an order, the Customer accepts the present GTCs.

1.3 Additional or deviating conditions, in particular also the General Terms and Conditions of the Customer, shall only apply if they have been accepted in writing by KASPERSKIAN.

1.4 KASPERSKIAN shall be entitled to modify the present GTCs at any time and without notice provided that the Customer is not significantly disadvantaged by said modifications.

2. Offer and order confirmation 

2.1 If an offer from KASPERSKIAN does not specify another time limit, KASPERSKIAN shall be bound to a time limit of 30 days. 

2.2 Orders shall only be deemed binding if they have been confirmed by KASPERSKIAN in writing (by post, telefax or email).

2.4 The range of products presented in KASPERSKIAN's online shop does not represent a legally binding offer but rather an invitation to the Customer to place an order. By clicking on the field «Pay & send order» at the end of the order process, the Customer issues a legally binding order to conclude a sales agreement. Up until this point, the order process shall be non-binding.

3. Orders 

Orders made over the online shop may be carried out via a Customer account. After entering all the required information, the content shall be summarised in an order overview which is binding for the Customer before it is sent. By clicking the field «PAY now», the Customer issues a legally binding order to conclude a sales agreement. Upon submitting the order, the Customer shall receive an email confirming the order (order confirmation). An order may be cancelled up until the point when it is ready to be shipped. Custom-made orders may not be cancelled.

4. Quality management 

4.1 KASPERSKIAN maintains a certified quality management system pursuant to internal monitoring under HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000) and observes all applicable food and health regulations.

4.2 The quality of the products after they are accepted by the Customer is ensured by said system through appropriate checks and process monitoring.
