Article 6 - Right of Withdrawal

When purchasing products, the consumer has the option to dissolve the agreement without stating reasons within a cooling-off period of 14 days. This cooling-off period starts on the day following receipt of the product by the consumer or a pre-designated representative.

The consumer must prove that the goods have been returned on time, for example by means of proof of dispatch.

If the consumer has not indicated within the specified periods in paragraphs 2 and 3 that he wishes to make use of his right of withdrawal or has not returned the goods to the entrepreneur, the purchase is a fact.

Article 7 - Costs in Case of Withdrawal

If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, the following applies: the costs of returning the goods are borne by the consumer. If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after the withdrawal. The condition for this is that the product has already been received by the entrepreneur or conclusive proof of complete return has been provided.

Article 8 - Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal

The entrepreneur may exclude the consumer's right of withdrawal for the products described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only valid if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in a timely manner before the conclusion of the agreement.

Article 10 - Compliance and Warranty

The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and the existing legal provisions and/or government regulations. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for uses other than normal use. A warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the consumer's legal rights and claims against the entrepreneur under the agreement. Defective or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 14 days of delivery. The products must be returned in their original packaging and in new condition. The contractor's warranty period corresponds to the manufacturer's warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the suitability of the products for the specific individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products. The warranty does not apply if: The consumer has repaired and/or altered them or had them repaired and/or altered by third parties; The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have been handled improperly or contrary to the entrepreneur's instructions and/or packaging; The defectiveness is wholly or partly the result of regulations issued or to be issued by the government concerning the nature or quality of the materials used.

If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot or only partially be executed, the consumer shall be notified of this no later than 30 days after placing the order. In this case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge and to claim compensation for any damages. In the event of cancellation in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the entrepreneur shall refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after cancellation. If delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will endeavor to provide a replacement item. It shall be clearly and comprehensibly stated upon delivery that a replacement item will be provided. The right of withdrawal cannot be excluded for replacement items. The costs of any return shipment shall be borne by the entrepreneur. The risk of damage and/or loss of products shall rest with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer or a designated representative known to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Article 12 - Duration of Transactions:

  • Amounts payable by the consumer within 7 working days after the start of the cooling-off period as referred to in article 6, paragraph 1.

In the event of consumer default, the entrepreneur, subject to legal limitations, has the right to charge the consumer reasonable costs in advance.

Article 14 - Complaints Procedure
