3. The refund must be issued within 14 days of the return notification.
Use the following text or your personalized general terms and conditions:
Right of withdrawal
For the supply of products:
- When purchasing products, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement without giving reasons within 14 days. This cooling-off period begins on the day after the consumer, or a representative designated in advance by the consumer and notified to the trader, receives the product.
- During the cooling-off period, the consumer must handle the product and its packaging with care. They may unpack or use the product only to the extent necessary to assess whether they wish to keep it. If they exercise their right of withdrawal, they must return the product to the trader with all supplied accessories and, if reasonably possible, in its original condition and packaging, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the trader.
- If the consumer wishes to exercise their right of withdrawal, they must notify the trader within 14 days of receiving the product. The consumer must provide this notification using the model form or another means of communication, such as email. After notifying the trader that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must be able to prove that the delivered goods were returned on time, for example by providing proof of shipment.
- If, after expiry of the periods referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, the customer has not indicated that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal or has not returned the product to the trader, the purchase is final.
For the supply of services:
- For the supply of services, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement without giving reasons for at least 14 days, starting on the day the agreement is concluded.
- To exercise their right of withdrawal, the consumer must follow the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the trader with the offer and/or at the latest upon delivery.
Costs in the event of withdrawal
- The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product.
- If the consumer has paid an amount, the trader will refund this amount as soon as possible, and no later than 14 days after withdrawal. However, this is subject to the condition that the product has already been received back by the online retailer or that conclusive proof of complete return can be provided. The refund will be made using the same payment method used by the consumer, unless the consumer expressly agrees to another payment method.
- If the product is damaged due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any resulting reduction in the product’s value.
- The consumer cannot be held liable for any reduction in the product’s value if the trader has not provided all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before concluding the sales agreement.
Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
- The trader may exclude the consumer’s right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal applies only if the trader has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in good time before concluding the agreement.
- Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for products:
- that have been produced by the trader in accordance with the consumer’s specifications;
- that are clearly personal in nature;
- that cannot be returned by their nature;
- that can spoil or age rapidly;
- whose price depends on fluctuations in the financial market over which the trader has no influence;
- for individual newspapers and magazines;
- for audio and video recordings and computer software whose seal has been broken by the consumer;
- for hygiene products whose seal has been broken by the consumer.
- Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for services:
- concerning accommodation, transport, restaurant services, or leisure activities to be provided on a specific date or during a specific period;
- for which delivery has begun with the consumer’s express consent before the cooling-off period has expired;
- concerning betting and lotteries.
