This applies also to "online" deliveries, i.e. electronic delivery of goods or services through a network, e.g. the Internet.

§ 3 Cancellations

To meet this deadline, it is sufficient to send your cancellation within the cancellation period. The Customer may cancel the order in writing or any other permanent method of data transmission e.g. by sending a letter, fax or e-mail. The Customer may also cancel the order by returning the goods.

To make use of your cancellation rights, please phone our Customer Support Center to determine the details for returning the products.

When returning goods from orders totaling less than EURO/US$100 any transport cost must be covered by the customer, unless the goods supplied did not correspond to the goods originally ordered. When transferring the right of use of goods, the customer entitled to cancel a particular order will cover all costs incurred from the time the goods were received to the time when the order was cancelled. If the customer is directly responsible for any damage to, destruction of or loss of the goods for which the customer is entitled to a cancellation, the customer must cover any incurred loss of value.
