The original text is in German and only the German version is the legally binding.
For the benefit of our foreign customers an English translation of the German text is provided as follows: 



Powerdynamo GmbH, Strasse am Heizhaus 1, 10318 Berlin
info@powerdynamo.biz, Fax 030-5099561


1. General 

For all mutual claims resulting from and in connection with the conclusion of a contract between the customer and Powerdynamo GmbH these General Business Conditions always apply. Different provisions are only valid if expressly agreed between the parties in writing. Those conditions are not valid for persons acting as a business (reseller).

 2. Conclusion of the Contract

Offers by Powerdynamo on its Website or by fax are not binding invitations to order goods with Powerdynamo. By ordering wanted goods via Powerdynamo´s website, via e-mail or fax, the customer makes a binding offer to conclude a sale contract. The offer becomes binding at the latest when passing the respective interface to Powerdynamo. Powerdynamo is entitled to accept this offer during a period of 7 days by sending a confirmation of the order. Confirmation of order can be by e-mail or by execution of the order. After a lapse of 7 days without action the offer shall be considered refused.

As a result of the legally stipulated right of cancellation the order and its acceptance by Powerdynamo leads to a temporarily open contract (save for deliveries to resellers as per point 11.2.).

3. Right of cancellation under the distance sales provisions

a) As consumer (that is a natural person entering into contract with Powerdynamo neither for commercial nor self employed purposes) the customer has a right to cancel the contract within 14 days after receipt of the goods. This period starts with the reception of the information on the right of cancellation, however not before arrival of the goods.  The customer needs not give any reason. The notice of cancellation has to be made in writing or by returning the goods. The risk and the cost of returning the goods are with Powerdynamo. 
Should the goods have been made as per special customer wishes and had to be specially prepared for the customer they are exempt from the right of return. The customer will be informed on such cases before any delivery is made.

b) If goods are returned from delivery addresses outside Germany, the customer exercising his right of cancellation will, differently to point a), have to bear the direct costs of recovering the goods supplied. (EU Distance selling regulations dated  Mai 20th 1997.)

c) Should the returned goods show a substantial deterioration (such as dirt, damage, damaged documentation, incomplete return) we reserve the right to ask for compensation. We might further ask for compensation of the value of  the de facto lease in the time till return.

4. Price

The customer will pay the respective invoiced amount in Euro. The invoice will state beside the net prices for the goods, the prices for all additional services: transport costs, COD, valid VAT etc., not however possible applicable import duty in third countries.

For customers with a delivery address within the EU, Powerdynamo will charge the German value added tax. If EU customers outside Germany are registered for a valid VAT number known to Powerdynamo, no value added tax will be charged. Likewise, no value added tax will be charged to those customers who have a delivery address outside the EU. An exception are small consignments sent by postal packet or letter for which Powerdynamo will not receive any proof of dispatch permitting the exemption from value added tax.

The prices stated on the home page apply only to orders sent directly to Powerdynamo.biz. The resale prices and conditions of our dealers remain unaffected by this. 

5. Delivery  / payment / Availability Exceptions Clause

The goods are delivered ex Powerdynamo warehouse at the customer's expense and risk. For deliveries within the EU a freight insurance policy will be taken out by Powerdynamo. As a rule the goods are delivered by UPS. Payment can be settled by accepted credit card, Paypal, COD (where possible) and in specially agreed cases on the basis of an invoice stating the credit period or by direct debit.

Should Powerdynamo notice after the conclusion of the contract that the ordered goods are no longer available at Powerdynamo or cannot be supplied for legal reasons, Powerdynamo can either offer goods equivalent in quality and price or can withdraw from the contract. After withdrawal from the contract, Powerdynamo will immediately repay to the customer payments which have already been received.

6. Conditional Sale

Powerdynamo reserves the ownership of all goods delivered by it to a customer until final and complete payment has been received. Should Powerdynamo replace an article within the context of the guarantee, it is hereby agreed, that the ownership of the article which is to be replaced will be transferred to Powerdynamo at the time that the customer receives the replacement.

7. Warranty

7.1 In case it has not explicitly been explained or agreed otherwise (for example for parts explicitly marked as decreased in value), Powerdynamo guarantees that at the time of dispatch the products are free from defects which would nullify or reduce the value or the suitability for their normal use. An insignificant reduction of the value or suitability is to be disregarded. In the case of hidden defects, a notification has to be given immediately after discovering the hidden defect within the guarantee period. Complaints about damages in transit must be raised immediately against the end carrier (as a rule the post). The damage report produced in this connection must be sent to us with the damaged goods.

7.2 The warranty period is 24 months after dispatch.

7.3. In case of an incomplete delivery, Powerdynamo will immediately dispatch a subsequent delivery. In the first instance, Powerdynamo has the right to dispatch a substitute delivery. If substitute deliveries repeatedly fail to be satisfactory, the customer is entitled to either reduce the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract (rescission of sale).

7.4. A warranty cannot be underwritten for defects caused by improper installation or use or by above average use of the goods on the part of the customer.

7.5. A warranty cannot be underwritten for improper use. Proper use is use in replacing stock dynamo/ignition systems in vintage or classic motorcycles whos engine characteristics have not been tempered with and which are not used in competion events (unless the material is specifically made and described as for racing or sports)

7.6. Powerdynamo underwrites a guarantee in relation to articles which have been individually ordered from Powerdynamo, but not for the complete assembly of which it may be a part.

8. Liability

If the customer does not wish that his data is used for Powerdynamo`s internal purposes, he is at any time entitled to object to such use by informing Powerdynamo appropriately.

10. Choice-of-law

11. Miscellaneous
