You may revoke your contractual declaration within two weeks without indicating any grounds in text form (e.g. by letter, fax or e-mail)or – if goods have been provided for use before expiry of deadline – you can revoke by returning the goods. The withdrawal period starts when this information is received in writing, but not before goods have reached recipient(in case of repeated deliveries of similar goods, not prior to the receipt of the first partial delivery), and we have fulfilled our duty of information according to § 312c sec. 2 BGB in conjunction with § 1sec. 1, 2 and 4 BGB-InfoV as well as our duties pursuant § 312e sec. 1 item 1 BGB in conjunction with § 3 BGB-InfoV.

In case of a valid cancellation, it is necessary to grant back any goods that any of the parts have received as well as any gained profits, where appropriate (i.e. benifits of use/interests). Should you not grant back the received goods – or just part of it – or only in bad conditions, you will have to compensate us for any deterioration in value. This does not apply to the provision of goods when the deterioration of the goods can be exclusively attributed to their inspection – comparable to the inspection of goods common to purchasing in a retail shop. Furthermore, you can avoid the obligation of recompensation for any deteriorations due to a proper use of the goods by not using them as your possession, and by refraining from doing anything that may penalize their value. Goods to be returned are to be sent on your cost and risk.
