By clicking the “Buy now” button, you enter into a binding agreement to purchase the items in your shopping basket. An order confirmation will be emailed to you when you have submitted your order. This confirmation represents merely acknowledgement of the receipt of your order and does not constitute a legally binding acceptance of your order.

The minimum order value is 25 or 3,000 Miles.

1.5 If the items are not available through no fault of our own, we have no obligation to supply if we ourselves have not been supplied punctually or at all despite undertaking normal and appropriate transactions to ensure our sources of supply, and have informed you of this in a timely manner. In such cases, we will immediately refund any deducted miles and credit them to your account; any payments made by you will be refunded immediately.

In this case, you can find the relevant information on our product and/or promotions page.

3. Payments

Orders for delivery within Germany can be paid for by credit card, per invoice or by advance payment. We accept payment by credit card or by advance payment only for orders for delivery outside Germany.

We reserve the right not to make certain payment methods available for your order and to ask you to use a different payment method. Invoices must be paid in full within 14 days of receipt of invoice. If you default on payment, we reserve the right to charge a flat rate of EUR 5.00/CHF 5.50 for each payment reminder sent to you to cover our losses caused by the delay in payment. You retain the right to demonstrate that no losses have been incurred or are in fact less than this sum. Payments by credit card will be charged to your credit card when the order is shipped. For payment in advance, we will send you our bank details by email and deliver the items once we receive payment. If we do not receive payment within 10 days of request of payment, we will cancel your order. The “Pay after flight” option is available for ordering on board during a flight using the plane’s internet connection. Please note that “Pay after flight” is not actually a method of payment.
