10. Costs of return in case of cancellation

In the event of an effective cancellation, the customer shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

11. Liability

(1) The provider shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions if the cause of the damage is based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty committed by him, his legal representatives or his vicarious agents.

(2) Furthermore, the provider is liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract, or for the breach of obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the customer regularly relies. In this case, however, the provider is only liable for foreseeable, contract-typical damages. The provider is not liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned in the preceding sentences.

(3) The above limitations of liability shall not apply in cases of injury to life, limb, or health, for defects after a guarantee has been given regarding the quality of the product, or for fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

12. Data protection

The provider treats the customer's personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations. Customer data will not be shared without the customer's express consent, or will only be shared as necessary to process the contract, for example, with companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods. Further information can be found in the privacy policy on our website.

13. Dispute resolution

14. Applicable law, place of jurisdiction

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, unless this choice of law deprives a consumer of mandatory consumer protection standards.

(2) If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the relevant contractual relationship shall be the registered office of the provider. A merchant is defined as someone who operates a commercial business or who is classified as a merchant under the German Commercial Code (HGB) for other legal reasons. However, the provider is also entitled to sue the customer at the court of his or her place of residence.

You may use the attached model cancellation form for this purpose, although this is not mandatory.

To comply with the cancellation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired.

Consequences of revocation:

If you cancel this contract, we will refund all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), promptly and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received notification of your cancellation of this contract.

For this refund, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; under no circumstances will you be charged any fees for this refund.

We may refuse to refund until we have received the goods back or until you have provided evidence that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.

You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any event no later than fourteen days from the date on which you notify us that you have cancelled this contract.

The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the fourteen-day period.

You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

You only have to pay for any loss of value of the goods if this loss of value is due to handling of the goods which is not necessary to check their quality, properties and functioning.

Exclusion of the right of withdrawal:

The right of withdrawal does not apply to the following contracts:

  1. Contracts for the supply of goods which are not prefabricated and for whose production an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.
  2. Contracts for the supply of sealed goods which, for reasons of health protection or hygiene, are not suitable for return if their seal has been removed after delivery.

We expressly point out that a right to withdraw from the contract, as generally provided for in Section 312g Paragraph 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB), is excluded for the above-mentioned goods in accordance with Section 312g Paragraph 2 of the BGB and therefore has no validity.
