  2. During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to judge whether he wishes to keep the product.

  2. If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after the withdrawal.

The merchant is not liable for any damage – including theft or loss – that occurs to the packaging or the product when returning it. If the product is not received in accordance with the conditions, the purchase price will not be refunded.
  3. If the consumer has wrongly exercised the right of return, the entrepreneur is entitled to charge the consumer for all associated costs.

This link to fluctuations and the fact that any prices mentioned are recommended prices will be mentioned with the offer.
  3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.

  • The consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products himself or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
  • The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have otherwise been handled carelessly or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging;
