Section 1 Scope, Applicable Version
(1) These Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts for deliveries and services of Rompe Design- Job-Fashion GmbH & Co. KG, Am Wald 1, 52391 Vettweiß, Local Court of Düren HRA 1859 (hereinafter "Rompe Design" or "we"), in particular for workwear, items from our stock collection, finishing such as embroidery and printing, and individually designed garments.
(2) Our customers are exclusively entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), legal entities under public law and special funds under public law (hereinafter "customer").
(3) Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms of the customer only become part of the contract if we expressly agree to their validity. This also applies if we deliver in knowledge of such terms.
(4) Individual agreements made in a specific case, in particular in the quotation, the order confirmation or a framework agreement, take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.
(5) The version of these Terms and Conditions incorporated when the respective contract was concluded is decisive. Later amendments do not apply to contracts already concluded. Each version is dated and can be saved as a PDF and printed.
Section 2 Offers and Conclusion of Contract
(1) Presentations on our website, in catalogues and lookbooks are not binding offers but an invitation to send us an enquiry or order.
(2) Our quotations are subject to change, i.e. non-binding until our order confirmation, unless they are expressly designated as binding. If a quotation states a period of validity, the quoted prices and terms apply to orders we receive within that period; availability of stock items remains subject to order confirmation.
(3) The customer's order is a binding offer. We may accept it within 14 days of receipt by order confirmation (text form, e.g. by e-mail, is sufficient) or by delivering the goods.
(4) For individually designed garments and finishing, the customer approves the relevant specifications before production starts, such as designs, samples, motifs, logo positions and size lists. Approval may be given in text form and is the binding basis for production.
Section 3 Characteristics, Illustrations, Deviations
(1) The agreed characteristics as set out in the quotation, the order confirmation and approved designs and samples are decisive, in particular item, material, cut, colour, sizes, customer logo or motif, finishing method, position and agreed dimensions.
(2) Customary and technically unavoidable deviations, such as slight colour nuances between production batches or differences in fabric texture, do not constitute a defect insofar as they do not impair the agreed characteristics, the agreed appearance or usability and are reasonable for the customer. Expressly agreed or approved characteristics are not restricted by this.
(3) Photos, visualisations and AI-generated images on our website, in lookbooks and quotations illustrate items and their effect. Colours may vary depending on screen or print. For colour, logo, motif size and position, the agreed specifications and the approved designs and samples apply.
Section 4 Prices, Shipping and Payment
(1) All prices are in euros plus statutory VAT. The prices stated in the quotation or order confirmation apply. Individually agreed prices remain unaffected.
(2) Shipping costs are itemised separately. For deliveries within Germany we charge a shipping and packaging fee of 3% of the net order value, minimum €9.50 net. The fee is shown before the contract is concluded in the order summary or quotation and again in the order confirmation. For deliveries abroad and for shipping methods agreed differently in the quotation, such as freight forwarding, the shipping costs stated in the quotation apply.
(3) Terms of payment, unless otherwise agreed in the quotation or order confirmation:
- New customers: 50% of the total price upon order confirmation, 50% upon delivery. Smaller orders from new customers are delivered against advance payment by pro forma invoice; whether advance payment applies is stated in the quotation or order confirmation.
- Existing customers: the payment terms agreed in the respective quotation or contract apply.
- Individually designed garments: 50% of the total price upon order confirmation, the balance before delivery.
- Leasing / hire purchase: for larger outfittings, we arrange leasing or hire-purchase models through external financing partners on request; their contractual terms apply in addition.
(4) If the customer is in default of payment, default interest at the statutory rate applies, currently 9 percentage points above the base rate (Section 288 (2) BGB). In addition, we may claim the statutory lump sum of €40 under Section 288 (5) BGB; it is credited against any damages to the extent these consist of legal costs. Further statutory claims remain unaffected.
Section 5 Delivery, Delivery Time, Transfer of Risk
(1) We generally deliver stock items from our Everyone collection within one to two weeks. The delivery time begins with the order confirmation and, where a deposit or advance payment has been agreed, with its receipt. For new customers paying a deposit, the start of the delivery time therefore only requires receipt of the deposit, not full payment.
(2) For individually designed garments, finishing and larger quantities, delivery dates are agreed individually. For individually designed garments, around 8 to 10 weeks from approval (Section 2 (4)) and receipt of the deposit is customary.
(3) Delivery times are approximate unless a binding delivery date has been expressly agreed. If approvals or information to be provided by the customer (such as size lists or logo files) are delayed, the delivery time is postponed accordingly.
(4) The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the customer upon handover to the carrier.
(5) Partial deliveries are permitted insofar as they are reasonable for the customer.
Section 6 Retention of Title
The delivered goods remain our property until full payment of all claims arising from the business relationship with the customer.
Section 7 Inspection and Notice of Defects
(1) If the contract is a commercial transaction for both parties, Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) applies: the customer inspects the goods without undue delay after delivery, insofar as this is feasible in the ordinary course of business. The customer notifies us of recognisable defects without undue delay, at the latest within 7 working days of delivery. Defects that only become apparent later are notified without undue delay after their discovery.
(2) No particular form is required for the notice; text form, e.g. by e-mail, is sufficient. Timely dispatch of the notice is sufficient to meet the deadline.
(3) Paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply if Rompe Design has fraudulently concealed a defect.
(4) For customers for whom the contract is not a mutual commercial transaction, the statutory provisions apply. We ask these customers, too, to inform us of defects as soon as possible so that we can help quickly.
Section 8 Rights in Case of Defects, Limitation
(1) If the goods are defective, we first provide subsequent performance, at our discretion by remedying the defect, for example by an alteration in our atelier, or by delivering goods free of defects.
(2) If subsequent performance fails, if we refuse it, or if it is impossible or unreasonable for the customer, the customer may withdraw from the contract or reduce the price in accordance with the statutory provisions. The statutory cases in which no deadline needs to be set remain unaffected. Damages and reimbursement of futile expenses are governed by Section 9.
(3) Claims for defects become time-barred 12 months after delivery of the goods. This shortening does not apply
- to claims for damages arising from injury to life, body or health,
- to claims based on intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty,
- if we have fraudulently concealed a defect or given a guarantee for the characteristics,
- to claims under the German Product Liability Act,
- to recourse claims in the supply chain under Sections 445a, 445b and 478 BGB, and
- where the law mandatorily provides for longer periods.
In these cases, the statutory limitation periods apply.
(4) There is no entitlement to return or exchange goods free of defects. We offer a voluntary size exchange for stock items without finishing under the conditions stated on our Shipping & Delivery page. Individually designed items and items finished with a customer logo are excluded from voluntary exchange. Statutory rights in case of defects remain unaffected in all cases.
Section 9 Liability
(1) We are liable without limitation
- for intent and gross negligence,
- for damage arising from culpable injury to life, body or health,
- in case of fraudulent concealment of a defect and to the extent of a guarantee given, and
- under the German Product Liability Act.
(2) In case of simple negligence, we are only liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations. Essential obligations are those whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the customer may regularly rely, such as the timely delivery of goods free of defects in the agreed design. In this case, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.
(3) Otherwise, our liability for simple negligence is excluded.
(4) The limitations under paragraphs 2 and 3 also apply in favour of our executive bodies, employees and vicarious agents. They never apply to the cases listed in paragraph 1.
Section 10 Data Protection
We process the customer's personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. Details can be found in our privacy policy.
Section 11 Place of Performance, Jurisdiction, Applicable Law
(1) The place of performance for deliveries and payments is Vettweiß, unless otherwise agreed.
(2) If the customer is a merchant (Kaufmann), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the courts competent for our registered office in Vettweiß have exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship. The same applies if the customer has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany. We are also entitled to sue at the customer's general place of jurisdiction. Otherwise, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.
(3) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
