Terms and Conditions

Current version as of May 28, 2022

1 Scope of Application

Our General Terms and Conditions shall exclusively apply. We do not acknowledge any terms that contradict or differ from our Terms and Conditions, unless we have expressly agreed to them in writing.

2 Conclusion of the Contract

The purchase contract is not concluded until the goods are delivered or a separate written confirmation with a delivery promise is provided. The contract is not concluded by the automatic e-mail confirming the receipt of the order.
While we endeavour to minimise delivery delays and delivery impossibility as much as possible by regularly updating our database, we cannot rule them out completely.

The legally binding conclusion of the contract is subject to the condition precedent, that the competent licensing authority in Germany, the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA), issues the necessary authorisation(s) for the sale, delivery, transfer and/or export of the goods.

3 Shipping Costs

Shipping costs depend on the number and weight of the packages and the country of the shipping address. A table on our pages lists the weight and destination country related shipping costs. If you add items to your shopping cart and enter your address, you will be shown the exact shipping costs before you conclude your order.
Since shipping costs are particularly high for certain products and destination countries, we reserve the right to charge you the actual shipping costs instead of the specified flat rates. In such rare cases, however, we will contact you before shipping the items.

4 Prices

The specified prices are final prices including statutory value added tax. For orders with a delivery address outside of the European Union, the specified prices are understood to be net prices. In some circumstances, customs duties and import taxes for the destination country may additionally have to be paid upon delivery.

5 Due Date

The purchase price becomes due and payable upon the conclusion of the contract (i.e. when the goods are delivered or when the written confirmation with the delivery promise is received).

6 Payment

You can use the following methods of payment:

  • Credit card (we accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express)
  • C.O.D. (if offered in the destination country, plus C.O.D. charges)
  • Advance payment by electronic funds transfer (in this case, you will receive a 1% cash discount on the invoice amount)
  • PayPal
  • Giropay (only in Germany)

We also offer payment by direct debit or invoice upon request. We reserve the right to restrict the methods of payment on a case-by-case basis.

7. Retention of Title

The delivered goods remain the property of NIMAX GmbH until they have been paid in full.

8 Export Control

8.1 The buyer is obligated to comply with all prohibitions and restrictions in force under the respective national, European and US export control regulations, including all country- and person-specific embargoes, for own use as well as for the sale and transfer to third parties.

8.2 The buyer is obligated not to use the goods for military purposes or in connection with ABC weapons or their missile technologies.

8.3 If the buyer violates his obligations under 8.1 or 8.2, a contractual penalty in the amount of 5 times the sales price of the goods concerned will be due immediately.

8.4 Claims for damages against the buyer arising from the violation of his obligations under 8.1 or 8.2 are not precluded by the payment of a contractual penalty according to 8.3. The buyer shall also bear the cost of all statutory fees for legal remuneration if official investigations are initiated against NIMAX GmbH or its employees.

9 Right of withdrawl

 Customers who meet the definition of a “consumer” as per § 13 German Civil Code [BGB] have a statutory right of revocation.

Information concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (NIMAX GmbH, Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 9, 86899 Landsberg, Germany, Tel.+44 203 8688042, Email   ) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.

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

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 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 period of 14 days has expired.

You will have to bear the direct cost 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.
