Kauftermins

Kauftermins are the set of conditions that govern a purchase between a buyer and a seller. They define what is sold, at which price, and under which conditions the transaction will be executed. The terms commonly cover aspects such as payment, delivery, risk transfer, warranties, and remedies in case of non-performance. In practice, Kauftermins can be part of a formal contract or embedded in standardized terms used by sellers in catalogues, marketplaces, or online shops.

Key components of Kauftermins typically include price and currency, payment terms (for example due dates and accepted methods), delivery terms and risk transfer (including who bears costs and when risk passes to the buyer), and delivery or performance timeframe. They also address title transfer, inspection and acceptance, warranties and limitations of liability, returns and cancellations, and any after-sales service or support. Data privacy and handling of personal or business information may also be specified, along with applicable governing law and dispute resolution mechanisms.

Legal status and enforceability depend on jurisdiction. Kauftermins become binding when a buyer accepts them as part of a purchase agreement. In many systems, standardized terms must be clearly communicated and may be subject to consumer protection rules that restrict unfair terms or require certain disclosures. In international trade, terms often reference established standards such as Incoterms and specify applicable law and forums for resolving conflicts.

Context and variation: Kauftermins differ between business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions, and between domestic and cross-border sales. Platforms and marketplaces frequently publish terms that supplement individual seller terms. See also contract law, consumer protection, and Incoterms.
