Please note that hardware offerings in the ARRI Online Shop are aimed exclusively at commercial customers within the European Union or The European Economic Area (EEA).

  • Our hardware offerings are therefore aimed exclusively at commercial customers / business customers / entrepreneurs and not at consumers. Orders from consumers cannot be considered.

  • If you are from outside the European Union / EEA or a consumer, please contact us via our contact form, visit our contact site, or contact your local dealer.

  • Commercial customers / business customers / entrepreneurs are natural or legal persons or partnerships with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, are acting in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity. This includes in particular industrial and craft enterprises, members of the liberal professions, commercial enterprises, and public authorities.

  • Consumers, on the other hand, are natural persons who conclude a legal transaction for their own private purposes. Private purposes are those that cannot be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity (e.g. purchase of products for their household or a non-independent professional activity)

  • By placing an order in the ARRI Online Shop, you declare that you are a commercial customer / business customer / entrepreneur and not a consumer.

  • We reserve the right to check that customers are not consumers (e.g. checking address data, VAT identification number) both when you place your order and before it is fulfilled. By placing an order, you also undertake to provide appropriate evidence, such as a copy of a business registration, at our request.
