1. scope of application
1.1. For the business relationship between My Bio Farm GmbH, Landsberger Str. 333e, 80687 Munich, e-mail: info@organicfarming-italy.com, Tel. +39 338 597 3817 (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”) and the customer (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”), the following terms and conditions with customer information apply exclusively in the version valid at the time of the order.
1.2. You can contact our customer service for questions, complaints and complaints on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the phone number Tel. +39 338 597 3817 and by e-mail at info@organicfarming-italy.com.
1.3. A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that is predominantly neither commercial nor their independent professional activity (§ 13 BGB).
1.4. Deviating terms and conditions of the customer are not accepted, unless the seller expressly agrees to their validity.

2. offers and service descriptions
The presentation of the products in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to place an order. Service descriptions in catalogs and on the seller’s websites do not have the character of an assurance or guarantee.
All offers are valid “while stocks last”, unless otherwise noted with the products. Errors excepted.
The sale of goods via this website is carried out either by the respective manufacturer of the goods (e.g. farms), whereby Organic Farming Italy acts as a distribution partner of the manufacturers in the name and on behalf of the manufacturers, or directly via Organic Farming Italy, a brand of My Bio Farm GmbH, https://www.organicfarming-italy.com.

3. ordering process and conclusion of contract
3.1. The customer can select products from the seller’s assortment without obligation and collect them via the button [in den Warenkorb] in a so-called shopping cart. Within the shopping cart, the product selection can be changed, e.g. deleted. The customer can then proceed to complete the order process within the shopping cart by clicking on [Weiter zur Kasse].
3.2. Via the [zahlungspflichtig bestellen] button, the customer submits a binding request for the purchase of the goods in the shopping cart. Before submitting the order, the customer can change and view the data at any time, return to the shopping cart using the browser function “back” or cancel the order process altogether. Required information is marked with an asterisk (*).
3.3. The seller then sends the customer an automatic acknowledgement of receipt by e-mail, in which the customer’s order is listed again and which the customer can print out via the “Print” function (order confirmation). The automatic acknowledgement of receipt merely documents that the customer’s order has been received by the seller and does not constitute acceptance of the request. The purchase contract is only concluded when the seller has dispatched or handed over the ordered product to the customer within 2 days or has confirmed the dispatch to the customer within 2 days with a second e-mail, express order confirmation or sending of the invoice.
3.4. Should the seller allow a prepayment, the contract with the provision of the bank details and payment request is concluded. If the payment has not been received by the seller until 10 calendar days after the order confirmation has been sent, the seller withdraws from the contract with the result that the order is void and the seller is not obliged to deliver. The order is then completed for the buyer and seller without further consequences. A reservation of the item for prepayment is therefore made for a longer than 10 calendar days.

4. prices and shipping costs
4.1. all prices stated on the seller’s website include the applicable statutory value added tax.
4.2. In addition to the stated prices, the seller charges shipping costs for delivery. The shipping costs will be clearly communicated to the buyer on a separate information page and in the context of the ordering process.

5. services, delivery, availability of goods

5.1.1 Services and delivery of goods in the context of sponsorships
By purchasing a sponsorship in the online store https://www.organicfarming-italy.com/shop/, the buyer acquires the naming and care of an agricultural item (e.g. tree, animal, area, etc.) for the agreed period. The seller assigns a name desired by the buyer to the adopted item (sign, plaque, etc.), whereby the buyer is designated as the godfather or godmother of this item.

With the assignment of the name to the item over the agreed term and the delivery of digital images, a certificate as a PDF and a digital video of the adopted product, the purchase contract is fulfilled by the seller.

The delivery of the products produced by the adopted article (e.g. olive oil, cheese, honey, etc.) is not part of the contract and is optional and voluntary depending on the failure of the harvest.

5.1.2 If advance payment has been agreed, delivery will be made after receipt of the invoice amount.
Except in special circumstances derived from the personalization of products or in the event of unforeseen or exceptional circumstances, we will send you the order with the product(s) that appear in each order confirmation on the delivery date displayed on the website. The approximate delivery date of the products is selected by you in the calendar, which is displayed on the website for this purpose in order to make the purchase. Pursuant to these provisions, “delivery” is deemed to be completed or the order is deemed to be “delivered” as soon as you or a third party designated by you takes possession of the products, as evidenced by the signing of the order receipt at the agreed delivery address.
Delivery times vary depending on the country and city/town you have specified in the delivery address. For orientation, we have listed delivery times for the following countries:

+ 10-14 delivery days for Italy and Germany
+ 10-21 delivery days for Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Monaco and Switzerland
+ 10-21 delivery days for Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom

The delivery times mentioned above may vary for reasons beyond our control (rain, dew, wind or other climatic conditions that prevent the harvesting of the products in good condition, transportation problems, etc.), which may cause a delay that in no case constitutes grounds for a penalty or any contractual or non-contractual liability.
We also reserve the right to cancel any order placed by you if there are reasons and circumstances that objectively prevent the preparation or shipment of the same within the reasonable time. We will inform you by e-mail about this inability. In this case, you have the right to have your order processed and shipped retrospectively and at no additional cost.

We work with the logistics company that best suits the shipping of your order. The cooperating logistics companies are integrated into our system and adapt to our times for picking up fruit, vegetables and ordering. For this reason, we cannot accept any other companies with which you are contractually affiliated, including the same carriers mentioned. In addition, we reserve the right to change logistics companies at any time and without notice.

At the time of delivery, you or the person receiving the order at the delivery address specified in the order should not sign the proof of delivery (POD) without checking in advance whether the boxes, pallets or packaging are sealed and that a box of the order is missing. In the event that boxes, pallets are missing or one has been opened, you must inform the carrier in detail and keep a copy of the proof in which the facts are noted. You must immediately notify us of this incident by e-mail to info@organicfarmin-italy.com and attach a photo of proof of non-conformity and proof of the order. The goods may not be opened or consumed as long as you are waiting for a written notification from Organic Farming Italy, which indicates the further process.
If you receive the goods without any proof of non-conformity in the proof of delivery, we cannot accept your complaint.
If you receive an order without obvious defects, but the products thereof are unsuitable for consumption for any reason, e.g. because they have hidden defects, please let us know the incident as soon as possible and always within 14 days of receiving the order via the email address info@organicfarming-italy.com. We also ask you to attach photos of the product to the email with an explanation for the reason for the complaint.

5.2. Should the delivery of the goods fail due to the fault of the buyer despite three attempts to deliver, the seller may withdraw from the contract. Any payments made will be refunded to the customer immediately.

5.3. All orders are subject to availability of agricultural products. If there are difficulties with the harvest, product delivery or if the harvest was completed before the processing of your order, so that the total yield of the harvest does not correspond to the expected quantities, we divide the total quantity of the harvest among the purchasers pro rata. Organic Farming Italy sells products that vary according to the year and season, the current offer of which you can consult on the Organic Farming Italy website.

We reserve the right to change the offer at any time and without notice. If the ordered product is not available because the seller is not supplied with this product by his supplier through no fault of his own, the seller may withdraw from the contract. In this case, the Seller will inform the Customer immediately and, if necessary, propose the delivery of a comparable product. If no comparable product is available or the customer does not request delivery of a comparable product, the seller will immediately refund the customer for any consideration already provided.

5.4. Customers will be informed of delivery times and delivery restrictions (e.g. restrictions on deliveries to certain countries) on a separate information page or within the respective product description.

5.5. Reduced yield of the harvest. If the harvest of the respective farm turns out to be worse than calculated, the delivery will be reduced accordingly. In the case of adoptions of agricultural crops, there is no objection to the delivery of the calculated harvest.

6.4. If the due date of the payment is determined according to the calendar, the customer is already in default by missing the date. In this case, the customer must pay the statutory default interest.
6.5. The customer’s obligation to pay default interest does not exclude the assertion of further default damages by the seller.
6.6. The customer is only entitled to set-off if his counterclaims have been legally established or recognised by the seller. The customer can only exercise a right of retention if the claims result from the same contractual relationship.

9.2. the seller shall be liable without limitation insofar as the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence.
9.3. Furthermore, the Seller shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which jeopardises the achievement of the purpose of the contract, or for the breach of obligations, the fulfilment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the customer regularly relies. In this case, however, the Seller shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. The Seller shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned in the preceding sentences.
9.4. The above limitations of liability do not apply in the event of injury to life, body and health, for a defect after taking over a guarantee for the quality of the product and in the case of fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
