General Terms and Conditions of Golf Tech Golfartikelvertriebs GmbH
As of 20 October 2026. The same version applies on www.golftech.at and in the Golf Tech dealer store.
§ 1 Scope
These terms apply to all offers, deliveries and services of Golf Tech Golfartikelvertriebs GmbH ("Golf Tech") to businesses within the meaning of § 1 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), however the order is placed: in the dealer store, by e-mail, telephone or WhatsApp, through our sales representatives or in writing. Golf Tech does not sell to consumers; the Austrian Consumer Protection Act does not apply.
Conditions agreed with the customer in writing (such as price list, discounts, payment terms, credit limit, the season sheet of a pre-order campaign) take precedence over these terms. Deviating or additional terms of the customer do not become part of the contract, even if Golf Tech does not expressly object to them or delivers in knowledge of them. Other deviations require Golf Tech's written confirmation.
§ 2 Offer and conclusion of contract
Offers, catalogues, price lists and the presentation of goods in the dealer store are non-binding as to price, quantity and delivery time. Printing, typesetting and calculation errors as well as technical and colour deviations are reserved.
By submitting an order the customer makes a binding offer. The contract is concluded with Golf Tech's order confirmation or with delivery. The order confirmation determines the content and scope of the delivery.
§ 3 Prices
All prices are in euros, net of statutory VAT, ex warehouse Vienna, plus shipping costs under § 5. A retail price shown alongside is a non-binding recommendation; the customer is free to set its own prices.
The price list assigned to the customer account and the agreed conditions apply; without a customer account the prices shown in the dealer store apply. Golf Tech reserves the right to change prices for orders not yet confirmed.
§ 4 Payment
Unless agreed otherwise, invoices are payable net within 30 days of the invoice date; for payment within 10 days Golf Tech grants a 2% cash discount. No cash discount is granted on shipping costs or on items marked "N/N" (net/net); these are due immediately without deduction. A cash discount may only be deducted if no earlier invoices are due and unpaid.
In case of late payment, statutory default interest (§ 456 UGB) and the costs of appropriate collection are charged. Golf Tech may withhold open deliveries while invoices are overdue or the agreed credit limit is exceeded. Set-off against disputed or not judicially established counterclaims is excluded.
§ 5 Delivery and shipping
Goods are delivered subject to availability from the Vienna warehouse, normally by parcel service. Within the delivery countries named in the dealer store, a shipping charge of EUR 12.40 applies to orders below EUR 500.00 net; from EUR 500.00 net Golf Tech delivers free of charge. Bulky goods, freight shipments, deliveries to other countries and deliveries to distributors follow the conditions named in the order confirmation (incoterm, freight). Pickup in Vienna is possible by arrangement.
Part deliveries are permitted and customary; they are invoiced separately. Delivery dates are non-binding target dates unless expressly agreed as fixed. Risk passes to the customer on handover to the carrier.
The stock light and the expected delivery month for back-orders are forecasts from Golf Tech's purchasing, not commitments.
§ 6 Pre-orders
For pre-order campaigns, the conditions of the respective season sheet apply in addition. Up to three delivery dates within the delivery period named in the season sheet can be chosen per order.
Tier discount, pre-order bonus and extended payment terms (value date) follow the season sheet. The bonus requires the order to arrive by the cut-off date stated there. Extended payment terms are subject to the credit limit and the customer's payment history.
§ 7 Cancellation
A confirmed order can only be cancelled with Golf Tech's consent. For cancelled pre-order goods Golf Tech charges a cancellation fee of 20% of the net value of the cancelled lines. Goods printed with a logo, custom-made goods and goods procured at the customer's request cannot be cancelled.
§ 8 Retention of title
Delivered goods remain Golf Tech's property until full payment of the purchase price including ancillary costs (packaging, freight, insurance, interest, collection costs) and all other claims from the business relationship.
The customer may resell goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. It hereby assigns to Golf Tech the resulting claims against its buyers in the amount of the open invoice; Golf Tech accepts the assignment. The customer shall insure such goods adequately and inform Golf Tech without delay of any access by third parties.
§ 9 Inspection, notice of defects, warranty
The customer shall inspect the goods immediately on receipt. Visible defects, shortages or transport damage must be reported in writing without delay, at the latest within 6 days of receipt (§ 377 UGB); transport damage must also be noted on the consignment note. Hidden defects must be reported immediately on discovery. Without timely notice the goods count as accepted.
Golf Tech provides replacement or repair only for confirmed material or manufacturing defects, by repair or replacement at its choice. If this fails, the customer may claim a price reduction or rescission. The presumption of § 924 of the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) is excluded. Manufacturer guarantees follow the manufacturers' terms.
§ 10 Returns
Returns always require Golf Tech's prior approval (by telephone or by e-mail to office@golftech.at) and must be sent with the reference number issued. Goods returned carriage forward or without approval are not accepted. The customer bears the cost of a return that is not due to a justified notice of defect.
§ 11 Liability
Golf Tech is liable for damage only in case of intent or gross negligence; liability for slight negligence is excluded, except for personal injury. Compensation for consequential damage, lost profit, interest losses, indirect damage and damage from third-party claims is excluded. Where Golf Tech is liable, liability is limited to the invoice amount of the delivery concerned. The Austrian Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
§ 12 Third-party rights
Golf Tech gives no warranty that the goods are free of third-party rights that the customer infringes through designs, prints or uses made to its specifications; the customer indemnifies Golf Tech against any claims arising from such specifications.
§ 13 Trademarks, pictures and dealer downloads
Golf Tech provides product pictures, texts, catalogues and trademarks for promoting and reselling goods bought from Golf Tech, including through the dealer downloads in the dealer store. Use is limited to this purpose and is not transferable. Altering the trademarks, passing the material on to third parties and use after the end of the business relationship are not permitted. The rights of manufacturers and photographers remain unaffected.
§ 14 Data protection
Personal data is processed in accordance with the privacy policy of the respective website or the dealer store.
§ 15 Final provisions
Austrian law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the conflict-of-law rules. The place of performance is Vienna. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract is the court with subject-matter jurisdiction for 1230 Vienna; Golf Tech may also sue the customer at its general place of jurisdiction.
Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected. The invalid provision is replaced by the provision that comes closest to its economic purpose. Translations are for information; the German version prevails.
