Revocation instructions for private customers The following revocation instructions shall not be applicable for business customers pursuant to Sec. 14 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [BGB; German Civil Code]. Revocation right You are entitled to revoke your contractual statement within two weeks in written form (e.g. letter, fax, e-mail) or – in case you received the goods before the term expired – by returning the goods without giving any reason. The term will commence after the receipt of the present instructions in written form, but will not begin before the goods are received by the recipient or before we performed our obligations to inform according to Sec. 312c Paragraph 1 Clause 1 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [BGB; German Civil Code] in association with Sec. 1 Paragraph 1, 2, and 4 of the Verordnung über Informationspflichten nach dem Bürgerlichen Recht [BGB-InfoVO; German decree regarding obligations to inform according to the Civil Code] as well as our obligations pursuant to Sec. 312e Paragraph 1 Clause 1 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [BGB; German Civil Code] in association with Sec. 3 of the Verordnung über Informationspflichten nach dem Bürgerlichen Recht [BGB-InfoVO; German decree regarding obligations to inform according to the Civil Code]. To comply with the period of time stated it shall be sufficient to send the revocation or return the goods in time. The revocation shall be addressed to: letter: hifisound, Lautsprechervertrieb, Raimund Saerbeck, Judefelderstrasse 35/52, 48143 Munster, Germany. fax: 0049 – 251 – 43956 e-mail: order@hifisound.de Effects of revocation In case of an effective revocation, mutually provided goods and services shall be returned and, if applicable, any benefits enjoyed (e.g. interest) shall be surrendered. If you cannot return the received goods and services in whole or in part or only in a condition of reduced value, you, if applicable, have to provide compensation insofar. You do not have to compensate for a reduction in value due to checking the goods – for example – the way it would have been possible for you to do in a retail store. If you want to avoid the obligation to compensate for a reduction in the goods’ value due to an utilisation as intended, you should not utilise the goods as your property and avoid any usage that might reduce their value. Goods that can be sent as parcels have to be returned at our risk and expense. You will have to bear the expenses of the return if the delivered goods correspond to the ordered goods and the purchase price of the returned goods does not exceed the amount of EUR 40.00, or if – in case of a higher purchase price of the goods – you did not provide the counter-performance at the time of the revocation; in any other case, the return will be free of charge for you. Obligations for refunding of payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. The stated period of time starts for you with the sending of your declaration of revocation or of the good, for us with their receipt. Financed businesses: If you financed this contract by means of a loan and if you revoke the financed contract, you shall no longer be bound to the loan contract, either, in case both contracts form an economic unit. This in particular shall be deemed applicable if, at the same time, we are your lender or if your lender uses our cooperation with regard to the financing. In case we already received the loan at the time the revocation becomes effective or the goods are returned, you may not only consult us but also your lender in order to effect a reversed transaction. End of the revocation instructions References concerning the revocation instructions: In order to allow for the easiest-possible return of the goods, we would like to ask you to submit your revocation using our online store under www.hifisound.de, Mein Konto [My Account] or to contact us via fax under 0049 – 251 – 43956. If desired, we will then send you a freeway ticket which you can use for a return free of charge. The goods can also be collected by GLS at your address. The use of a freeway ticket as well as the collection by GLS are optional, alternatively, another mode of shipment shall be possible. However, we would like to ask you kindly to relinquish unpaid returns of goods within the framework of your revocation right. Please note that, in case of using an unnecessarily expensive mode of shipment, a claim to refunding additional costs – compared to the usual mode of shipment – might arise. Please keep the original packaging until you decide not to make use of your revocation right. Your obligation in this regard, however, only includes the return of goods in a way that protects them against typical risks of conveyance. A revocation right is excluded in cases in which the goods have been manufactured according to the customer’s specification, are clearly tailor-made for his personal requirements, or are not suitable for a return due to their nature. |
