If you cancel this Agreement, we will refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (except for the additional costs resulting from your choosing a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day we receive notice of your cancellation of this Agreement.

Transport damage
If goods with obvious transport damages are delivered, please complain about such errors immediately to the deliverer and please contact us immediately. Failure to make a complaint or contact us has no consequences for your legal claims and their enforcement, especially your warranty rights.

For entrepreneurs: The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration shall pass to you as soon as we have delivered the goods to the forwarder, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. Among merchants, the duty to examine and give notice of defects regulated in § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) applies. If you do not make the notification stipulated there, the goods are deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not recognisable at the time of the inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.
Warranty
Unless expressly agreed otherwise below, the statutory liability for defects law valid in Germany shall apply.
For consumers, the limitation period for warranty claims for used goods is one year from delivery of the goods.
For businesses, the limitation period for warranty claims is one year from the passing of risk; the statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 478 BGB remain unaffected.
Only our own information and product descriptions, which have been included in the contract, shall be deemed to be an agreement with businesses regarding the quality of the goods; we accept no liability for public statements or other advertising statements.
