MINIMUM ORDER VALUES AND DELIVERY CONDITIONS
All prices are net. Invoices are payable in full within 14 days of the invoice date. The goods remain our property until full payment has been received.
If you order by 12.00 noon, fresh goods will be delivered within 48 hours on working days, frozen goods within 72 hours of your order. We are happy to arrange Saturday and scheduled deliveries on request. The costs incurred will be invoiced. Island deliveries are excluded from this. Please provide us with a delivery address on the mainland. If required, we can also organize transport to the island. However, we will have to invoice you for the costs incurred.
From a value of goods per order of 350 euros for fresh goods and/or 400 euros for frozen goods, delivery is free. If the order value is less than this amount, we will unfortunately have to charge you a freight charge of 50 euros. If the minimum order quantity is reached with articles from Block Menü GmbH, then we will deliver without further surcharge from a quantity of 25 kg fresh meat or 25 kg frozen meat.
Late deliveries, missing quantities and transport damage can only be recognized if they are noted on the proof of delivery and delivery bill upon receipt of the goods. Return or forwarding of rejected goods may only be undertaken after consultation with us.
We also refer to the detailed terms of delivery and payment on the reverse of our invoice forms.

1. General Provisions, Scope of Application
a) These General Terms and Conditions of BLOCK Foods apply to all contracts concluded with the customer, with the exception of such contracts that are concluded via the website www.shop.block-house.de . Supplementary or deviating terms and conditions of the customer shall not become part of the contract. This also applies if the application of the customer's terms and conditions is not explicitly objected to in individual cases.
b) BLOCK Foods reserves the right to change these General Terms and Conditions with effect for the future. The customer's order is subject to the General Terms and Conditions applicable at the time of the respective order, which can be viewed during the ordering process and must be expressly accepted by the customer through a separate click.
2. Contracting Parties, Conclusion of a Contract
a) The purchase contract is concluded with the respective acting company of BLOCK Foods.
b) The language of the contract is German.
c) The offers from BLOCK Foods are non-binding and do not constitute a binding offer to conclude a contract.
d) The purchase contract is only concluded upon receipt of the order confirmation from BLOCK Foods. Along with the order confirmation, BLOCK Foods sends the customer the order data and contractual terms by e-mail, thereby providing the customer with the opportunity to access the contractual provisions, including the General Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, at the time of concluding the contract and to store them in a reproducible form.
e) BLOCK Foods stores the text of the contract. There is no entitlement to have the content of the contract made permanently accessible by BLOCK Foods after the contract has been concluded.
3. Prices, Packaging, Shipping Costs
a) All prices are net prices, duty-paid, excluding value-added tax. The decisive factor is always the individually agreed prices; otherwise, the prices valid on the day of delivery, plus the applicable rate of statutory value-added tax, apply.
b) The packaging of the goods is carried out at the discretion of BLOCK Foods while ensuring the maintenance of the required cold chain for the planned shipping period.
c) Shipping shall take place in accordance with the terms to be individually agreed upon between the parties. If this has not been done, the customer shall reimburse BLOCK Foods for the shipping costs actually incurred. BLOCK Foods is entitled to select the most cost-effective shipping method at its reasonable discretion.
Euro-pallets in exchangeable condition are to be exchanged on a one-for-one basis. Shipping is carried out from the factory, central, or freight forwarder warehouses.
4. Payment Terms
a) The purchase price becomes due for payment upon the conclusion of the purchase contract.
b) Invoices must be paid within 14 days of the invoice date, with no deductions allowed; the date on which payment is received by BLOCK Foods shall be the decisive factor.
5. Retention of Title
The goods shall remain the property of BLOCK Foods until full payment of all claims by BLOCK Foods, including ancillary claims and claims for damages, has been made.
6. Delivery Terms
a) Deliveries are made under the agreed conditions, otherwise according to the shipping conditions applicable at the time of the order, to the delivery address provided by the customer. Deliveries are only possible to delivery addresses in Germany.
b) The delivery dates requested by the customer when placing the order are only considered firmly agreed upon if the binding nature of the date is explicitly confirmed in writing by BLOCK Foods. Otherwise, delivery will be carried out within the scope of the usual order processing.
c) BLOCK Foods is also entitled to make partial deliveries. In the event that a delivery becomes impossible, whether temporarily or permanently, for any reason, and provided that this is not due to intentional or gross negligence on the part of BLOCK Foods, the obligation to deliver shall cease to apply; in such cases, any claims for damages resulting from non-delivery, including claims for loss, property damage, or financial losses, are excluded.
d) If the goods cannot be delivered or cannot be delivered on time due to the provision of an incorrect delivery address or for other reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer will be in default of acceptance.
e) In the event of default of acceptance, a second delivery attempt is excluded for fresh and/or frozen products that require refrigeration, as it is no longer possible to guarantee the maintenance of the cold chain.
f) If the customer is in default of acceptance or culpably violates other cooperation obligations, BLOCK Foods is entitled to claim compensation for the resulting damage, including any additional expenses. The damage is claimed for the fresh or frozen products that can no longer be used in the amount corresponding to their respective purchase price. Further damage will be claimed in the amount of the shipping costs. The purchase price for ordered dry goods will be refunded to the customer, provided that the product is marketable. Further claims remain reserved. The customer is allowed to provide evidence of a lesser damage incurred at BLOCK Foods.
g) The risk of accidental destruction or accidental deterioration of the purchased item passes to the customer at the time the goods are handed over to the customer, or in the case of default of acceptance, at the time the customer falls into default of acceptance.
7. Customer's Obligation to Inspect
a) The customer is obliged to examine the delivered goods immediately, either personally or through a person authorized by the customer to receive the goods, for obvious defects (completeness, correctness of the goods, integrity of the packaging, visibly defective physical state, etc.) and, if any such defect is found, to notify BLOCK Foods in writing without delay (within 5 days of delivery – exception: for fresh produce within 24 hours). The printed measurement values of the cold chain originate from a freely programmed supplementary device. The calibrated measurement values can be viewed at any time.
b) If the customer fails to give timely notice, the goods shall be deemed approved and warranty claims for defects shall be excluded, unless it concerns a defect that was not recognizable during inspection.
c) If such a defect becomes apparent later, it must be reported immediately after its discovery. Otherwise, the legal consequence mentioned under b) shall apply.
8. Liability
a) The statutory warranty provisions apply, unless otherwise stipulated below. A defect is not present if goods in pre-packaged form, the delivery quantity of which is determined by weight, deviate from the agreed quantity within the limits of the Prepackaged Goods Regulation.
b) BLOCK Foods is liable for damage in cases of intent or gross negligence to the full extent under statutory provisions.
c) Liability for simple negligence exists only for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for the breach of a contractual obligation essential to the contract, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place, or the violation of which endangers the achievement of the contract's purpose and on which the customer regularly relies (cardinal obligation). In the event of a negligent breach of cardinal obligations, liability is limited to damages that are typical for the contract and foreseeable.
d) A statutory liability independent of fault (e.g., under the Product Liability Act) and liability arising from any assumption of a warranty remain unaffected.
e) The customer accepts that not all delivered products were manufactured in companies certified according to a standard recognized by the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative). This does not constitute a defect; no claims for damages or other claims in connection with this circumstance may be asserted against BLOCK Foods. Relevant information will be provided upon request.
f) The legal representatives, employees, and vicarious agents of BLOCK Foods are not liable to a greater extent than BLOCK Foods itself.
9. Trademark Protection
All our products are marked with a registered trademark of the Block Group. The use of this trademark (including word/design marks "Block House" and "Block Menü") as well as our other distinctive signs and name rights is only permitted in the interest of and with the express written consent of the Block Group; use for other purposes is prohibited. If our products are processed, the use of our trademarks in connection with the manufactured product is permitted only if we have provided our written authorization. This applies to all stages of processing. The distribution of our products is only permitted in unchanged original packaging.
10. Applicable Law / Jurisdiction
All legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Hamburg is agreed upon as the place of jurisdiction and the place of performance; and in case of the jurisdiction of the local court (Amtsgericht), the Local Court of Hamburg-Mitte shall be the competent court.
11. Severability Clause
Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In such cases, the invalid provisions shall be replaced by the applicable statutory regulations. The same applies if the General Terms and Conditions contain gaps.
