Images of products are a true representation of the offered products. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the displayed colors exactly match the real colors of the products.
Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are associated with accepting the offer. This specifically concerns:

Any shipping costs.

The way in which the contract will be concluded and which actions are required for this.

Whether the right of withdrawal applies.

The method of payment, delivery, and performance of the contract.

If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will promptly confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer may dissolve the contract.
If the contract is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensures a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures for this purpose.
The entrepreneur may—within legal limits—ascertain whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors relevant for responsibly entering into the distance contract. If the entrepreneur, based on this investigation, has good reasons not to conclude the contract, they are entitled to refuse an order or request with justification or attach special conditions to the performance.

This reflection period begins on the day after the consumer receives the product or a representative designated in advance by the consumer and known to the entrepreneur.
During the cooling-off period, the consumer shall handle the product and packaging with care. The product shall only be unpacked or used to the extent necessary to assess whether the consumer wishes to keep the product.

After the consumer has indicated their intention to exercise their right of withdrawal, the product must be returned within 30 days. The consumer must provide proof that the goods have been returned in time, for example by providing proof of shipment.
If the consumer has not notified their intention to exercise the right of withdrawal and/or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur after the periods mentioned above, the purchase is considered final.
Article 8 – Costs in Case of Withdrawal
If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, the costs for returning the products shall be borne by the consumer.
If the consumer has made a payment, the entrepreneur shall repay this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after withdrawal. This is conditional on the product having already been received by the entrepreneur at the return address above, or on providing conclusive proof of complete return.
Refusal Upon Delivery:
If the consumer refuses the package upon delivery, this is considered an exercise of the right of withdrawal. In such a case, the package may be returned to us at the consumer’s expense, including any return shipping costs and applicable customs fees. Refunds, if applicable, will be processed within 30 days after receipt of the returned package, minus a deduction of 15% to cover the incurred return costs.
Article 9 – Exclusion of Right of Withdrawal
The entrepreneur may exclude the consumer’s right of withdrawal for certain products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal only applies if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in time before the conclusion of the contract.

Article 10 – The Price
During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the offered products and/or services will not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
In deviation from the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are linked to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the entrepreneur has no influence, at variable prices. This linkage to fluctuations and the fact that any stated prices are indicative prices will be stated in the offer.
Price increases within three months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if they result from statutory regulations or provisions.
Price increases from three months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:
-
They result from statutory regulations or provisions.
-
The consumer has the right to terminate the contract as of the day the price increase takes effect.
All prices are subject to printing and typographical errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing and typographical errors. In case of printing and typographical errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product at the incorrect price.
Article 11 – Conformity and Guarantee
The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or usability, and the statutory provisions and/or government regulations in force at the date of the conclusion of the contract. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
A guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the statutory rights and claims that the consumer may assert against the entrepreneur under the contract.
Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 30 days of delivery. Products must be returned in their original packaging and in new condition.
The entrepreneur’s warranty period corresponds to the factory warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the final suitability of the products for any individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
The guarantee does not apply if:
-
The consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products themselves or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties.
-
The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal circumstances or otherwise handled carelessly, or are in violation of the entrepreneur’s instructions and/or the instructions on the packaging.
-
The defectiveness is wholly or partially the result of regulations imposed or to be imposed by the government regarding the nature or quality of the materials used.
Article 12 – Delivery and Performance
The entrepreneur will exercise the utmost care in receiving and performing orders for products.
With due observance of the provisions in Article 4 of these terms and conditions, the company shall execute accepted orders with due speed but no later than 30 days, unless the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period.
If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be fulfilled or can only be partially fulfilled, the consumer will be notified no later than 30 days after placing the order. In such a case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the contract at no cost and is entitled to any compensation.
In the case of dissolution according to the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur shall refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after dissolution.
If delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur shall make every effort to provide a replacement item. At the latest upon delivery, it will be clearly and understandably indicated that a replacement item is being provided.
For replacement items, the right of withdrawal cannot be excluded. The costs of any return shipment shall be borne by the entrepreneur.
The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer or a representative designated in advance and known to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual consultation, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.
A complaint does not suspend the obligations of the entrepreneur unless the entrepreneur explicitly states otherwise in writing.
If a complaint is found to be valid by the entrepreneur, the entrepreneur shall, at their discretion, either replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.
