SAURIA
Over the years it developed from an „amateur journal“ with b/w figures to a peer reviewed journal with colour illustrations throughout the publication. Content-wise SAURIA is directed at professionals and enthusiasts who are concerned with the study, keeping and / or breeding of reptiles and amphibians. Reports on herpetological excursion worldwide are an essential part of the publication.
Our predominantly easily comprehensible articles deal with all areas of husbandry and herpetology on at least 64 -almost advert free- pages. In order to address an international readership all articles include an English summary as well as German/English figure captions. Additionally Short Notes are published in English as are publications concerned with taxonomic changes.

Information on Revocation
Right to revoke
This right to revoke exists only for consumers.
You may revoke your contractual declaration within a period of two weeks, without giving a reason, in the shape of a text message (e.g., by letter, fax, E-mail) or by returning the object. This period starts at the earliest with receipt of this information. To comply with the temporal limitation it will suffice to post the text message of revocation or object in time to the following address:

Germany
Consequences of revocation
In the case of a valid revocation, both parties are to return the mutually received benefits and surrender possible gains. If you are unable to return the received benefit in full or part or only in degenerated condition, you may be obligated to grant us compensation. In the case of an object having been made available to you, this does not apply if the degeneration of the condition of the object is merely the result of examining it in a manner you would have been able to in a shop outlet, for example. You may otherwise avoid becoming liable for compensation by not using the object as though it were your property and refrain from doing anything to or with it that could compromise its value. The costs for returning an object or objects is for your account if the object(s) supplied correspond to your order and if the total value of the returned object(s) does not exceed Euro 50.00, or if, in the case of a higher value of the object(s), you have not yet fulfilled your part of the agreement or paid a contractually agreed deposit at the time of revocation. Returning the object is otherwise free of charge for you. You will have to fulfil all obligations that may entitle you to refunds within a period of 30 days from sending off your declaration of revocation.
General Terms and Conditions
The following General Terms and Conditions, referred to in the following as GTCs, apply to all business relationships entered into between Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. and its representatives, referred to in the following as Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V., and its customers.
If the customer is a commercial enterprise, these GTCs apply where they contain applicable stipulations. Their applicability also extends to future business.
1. Extent of applicability
These GTCs apply to all contractual agreements, agreements, or other transactions entered into with Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. These are the only GTCs applicable. GTCs deviating from or opposing these require express written consent for validation. Other agreements and pledges are legally binding only if confirmed in writing.
2. Orders
The range of objects for sale does not represent a legally binding offer, but rather is an invitation to the customer to enter into a legally binding contractual agreement. Offers are subject to change without notice and stand as long as the respective object on offer is available ex stock or otherwise. By sending off an order, the customers declares his binding offer to enter into a contractual agreement with regard to the object(s) ordered as well as his/her agreement to subjecting it to the GTCs stipulated here.
Contractual agreements are entered into exclusively by written confirmation of the order or by issuing a formal invoice. In this respect, every partial delivery represents a separate contractual agreement.
Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. does not assume responsibility for erroneous or faulty details in the customer’s order.
3. Prices
Prices are to be regarded as binding only if they are confirmed by means of an invoice or written order confirmation or stated specifically on the official Internet representation of Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. All prices are given in Euro (EUR). Costs for packing and postage are for the customer’s account.
4. Supply and payment
Goods are supplied exclusively against payment upfront. Deviations from this principle require prior written consent by Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. Delays in supply that are beyond the range of influence of Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. are also beyond the range of responsibility of the latter. This includes in particular instances of force majeure, technical disturbances, instructions or directives by the authorities, as well as problems the subcontracted delivery service providers may encounter. In instances of this character, Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. shall be entitled to make use of an appropriate extension period of time. If circumstances beyond the latter’s control render it impossible or unreasonable to fulfil an order, the seller shall be released from his obligation to supply.
If the customer cancels his/her contract (order) while there is no delay in supply or reason for the cancellation, a compensation fee of 20% of the order value will be due without a necessity for specifying the exact damages incurred. This leaves unaffected the possibility of individual claims for compensation of damages incurred by Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. that exceed this limit, as well as the presentation of argumentation as evidence of lesser damage by the customer.
5. Transfer of risks
All risks are transferred to the customer when the ordered goods are collected or handed over to the person transporting them as long as the exception provided for in Art. 474 II BGB does not apply. This also applies in cases where shipping has been agreed.
6. Guarantee and acceptance of responsibility
The customer is obliged to immediately examine the goods supplied for obvious flaws. An obvious flaw must be reported to the supplier without delay (within a period of three days), otherwise the goods will be deemed to have been accepted as is, and later claims cannot be entertained. Claims for damages or monetary losses resulting from the use of the supplied goods can only be entertained if they are a consequence of gross negligence by Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. and are in any case limited to the value of the supplied goods. In particular are excluded any claims for loss of profit or any other damages to the wealth of the customer. If the customer notices a subsequent manifestation of flaws he/she is obliged to inform Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. immediately in writing. If such flaw in the purchased object is found to be genuine, the customer may claim replacement. If such fails or would require unreasonable effort by Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. and could therefore be refused, the customer shall be entitled in the case of a substantial shortcoming to terminate the agreement, reduce the purchase price, or claim compensation. Transfer of such claims is not possible. Unless stated otherwise in these GTCs, no customer claims exceeding this extent will be entertained. Over and above this, the acceptance of responsibility, as defined by law, is limited to acts of premeditation and gross negligence.
Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. will not assume responsibility for flaws that arise from the inappropriate handling of goods supplied.
The assertion of a claim under guarantee conditions compels the customer to provide proof of the damage. All relevant evidence to this effect has to be made available to Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. In such a case, the customer agrees to provide upon request further proof and documentation without costs which Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. might deem necessary for the substantiation of his/her claim.
7. Additional demands
Additional demands by the customer, irrespective of their legal nature, cannot be entertained as long as their exclusion does not contravene existing legislation.
8. Proprietary rights
Goods supplied remain the property of Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. until paid for in full by the purchaser. Resale of goods still residing under limited proprietary rights is permissible only within the ordinary range of business of the customer. In this case, the customer cedes all demands arising from the resale of and relating to the goods still residing under limited proprietary rights as collateral to Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V.
The customer is obliged to always inform Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. in full and truthfully about the status of all goods still residing under limited proprietary rights and which are therefore still the property of, and demands arising from their resale that have been ceded in accordance with these GTCs, to Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V., and also inform Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. if a third party appropriates or stakes a claim on these goods.
Terrariengemeinschaft Berlin e. V. shall be entitled to terminate the agreement and claim back supplied goods if the customer is in breach of this agreement, in particular so if the customer’s account is in arrears.
9. Invalidity of individual articles
If any article of the above stipulations is invalid, such shall not affect the validity of all other stipulations. The parties shall then be obliged to find and agree upon a stipulation that is closest to the nature and intent of the disputed regulation. If this is not possible, common legislation shall apply.
10. Jurisdiction and applicable legislation
The place of jurisdiction and settlement is Berlin, as far as it conforms to Art. 29 ZPO. Legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany shall be exclusively applied. Only the German-language version of these GTCs is legally binding.
