How and when can I return items?
You can cancel your contract declaration in writing (e. g. letter, fax, e-mail) without giving a reason within 14 days or - in case the goods will be delivered before the deadline – by returning them. The period begins upon receipt of the revocation in writing, but not before receipt of the goods from you and also does not fulfill our statutory information obligations. The revocation period is sufficient to send the revocation or thing.
In case of an effective cancellation the mutually received benefits are to be returned. That is, you send the article back to us (if not already done) and we will refund the purchase price paid.
After the one month period, you can still return the item, if this has a detectable defect or a defect within the warranty period for material defects. For more details, please refer to the Terms and Conditions.
Please enclose the received invoice with your return and declare the reason of return.
By returns via mail, we ask you to keep the postal receipt for possible call backs.
