KG (hereinafter referred to as "Seller”) shall apply to all contracts concluded between a Consumer or a Trader (hereinafter referred to as "Client”) and the Seller related to all goods and/or services presented by the Seller on the eBay trading platform. The inclusion of the Client`s own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated.

A trader pursuant to these Terms and Conditions is any person acting for purposes relating to that person’s trade, business, craft or profession, whether acting personally or through another person acting in the trader’s name or on the trader’s behalf.

With this separate confirmation the contract will be concluded. The Seller has no obligation to accept the Client’s offer.
