RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS
- When purchasing products, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the agreement without giving reasons within a period of 14 days. This cooling off period starts on the day after the consumer, or a representative designated by the consumer, receives the product.
- During the cooling off period, the consumer must handle the product and packaging carefully. The product may only be unpacked or used to the extent necessary to determine whether the consumer wishes to keep it. If the right of withdrawal is exercised, the consumer must return the product with all supplied accessories and, where reasonably possible, in its original condition and packaging in accordance with the entrepreneur’s reasonable and clear instructions.
- If the consumer wishes to exercise the right of withdrawal, they must notify the entrepreneur within 14 days after receiving the product. After notifying the entrepreneur, the consumer must return the product within a further 14 days. The consumer must be able to demonstrate that the goods were returned on time, for example by means of proof of shipment.
- If the consumer has not notified the entrepreneur within the stated period or has not returned the product, the purchase becomes final.
DELIVERY OF SERVICES

Refunds will be made using the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer expressly agrees to another method.
- If the product has decreased in value due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer may be liable for the resulting reduction in value.
- The consumer cannot be held liable for any reduction in value if the entrepreneur failed to provide all legally required information concerning the right of withdrawal before the agreement was concluded.

CONFORMITY AND WARRANTY
- The entrepreneur guarantees that products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, reasonable requirements of quality and usability, and applicable statutory provisions and government regulations in force at the date of conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for uses other than normal use.
- Any warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the consumer’s statutory rights and claims against the entrepreneur.
- Defects or incorrectly supplied products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within four weeks after delivery. Returned products must be returned in their original packaging and in new condition.

In such circumstances, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement without costs. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
- Delivery times are indicative. The consumer cannot derive rights from stated delivery times. Exceeding a delivery time does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
- If the agreement is terminated in accordance with paragraph 3, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible and no later than 14 days following termination.
- If delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will make reasonable efforts to provide a replacement product. The consumer will be informed clearly and understandably no later than at delivery that a replacement product is being supplied. The right of withdrawal cannot be excluded for replacement products. Any return costs in such circumstances will be borne by the entrepreneur.
- The risk of damage and/or loss of products remains with the entrepreneur until delivery to the consumer or a representative previously designated by and made known to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Costs may be associated with submitting a dispute to the committee and are payable by the consumer.
