Definition of right of withdrawal

Customers have the right of withdrawal of their contract within a time frame of 14 days without having to specify any particular reason. This right may be executed in written form (i.e. letter, fax, email) or by sending back the corresponding goods. The 14 day time frame starts after this instruction has been received in a written form  but not before the goods have been received by the customer (in case of the recurring delivery of similar goods not before receipt of the first delivery) and not before the vendor has fulfilled it's informational duties according to article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 par 1 and 2 EGBGB and it's duties according to § 312e, par. 1 sentence 1 BGB in conjunction with article 246 § 3 EGBGB. To protect the 14 day time frame for the utilization of the right of withdrawal it is sufficient to state the execution of this right or send back the goods before the expiration of this time frame.

Withdrawal consequences
In case of an effective withdrawal the mutual received benefits (i.e. payment and/or goods) have to be returned and any utilization that may have occurred (i.e. interests, use) have to be reimbursed. If received goods can not be returned at all or only in a value reduced state, the customer may have to compensate for the reduction. This however does not apply if the reduction in value is directly related to a common inspection of the goods that could have been performed at or would be comparable to an inspection of the item in a physical store.
Furthermore, the obligation to compensate for a reduction in value can be avoided if customers use the goods only in the way they are meant to be used and use them as if they were their own and avoid anything that may affect it's value.
Goods that are suitable for mail or parcel shipment may be sent back at the vendor's risk. The customer has to bear the expenses if the price of the returned goods does not exceed 40 EUR or if the customer has not yet complied to all obligations related to the contract i.e. has not yet paid for the goods in whole or in part. If the aforementioned does not apply, the returning of the goods is free for the customer.
Goods that are not suitable for shipment via mail or parcel will be picked up at the customer's.
Obligations to return a payment have to be executed within 30 days. This time frame for the customer starts with the issue date of the statement of withdrawal or the date the goods are being sent back, for the vendor with the receipt.

End of definition of right of withdrawal


§ 8.2    A right of withdrawal does not exist for the delivery of goods that have been individualized to customer specifications or have been tailored to customer needs or for the delivery of audio and video data carriers (i.e. DVD, CD, etc.) or software, which has been unsealed or goods that are not suitable for returning, as well as for magazines, as long as the order has not been placed via telephone.
§ 8.3    Customers are asked to avoid damages or staining of the goods and are asked to return the goods and all associated accessories (if applicable) in the original packaging if still possible. Furthermore they are asked to use a suitable wrapping if necessary. If the original packaging is no longer available, customers shall use appropriate alternative packaging to secure the goods from damages during transport and to avoid claims for damages due to improper transport packaging.
§ 8.4    Customers are asked to send back goods as an insured parcel and to retain proof of delivery to the carrier. Upon special request, the vendor will reimburse customers for those fees in advance unless the fee will have to be paid by the customer according to this definition. We would like to ask customers to not send back parcels with a paid by recipient option as this will help us to avoid additional charges by the carrier and will help to keep shipping costs for all customers on a low level.
§ 8.5    Customer are asked to contact the vendor in advance of a return shipment either via phone at +49 (0) 6039 932472 or via email to service [at] tyaro.com to announce the returning of goods. This way the handling of the returning process can be sped up significantly.
§ 8.6    Customers are advised that all terms mentioned in § 8.3 - 8.5 are not prerequisitions for the effective execution for the right of withdrawal.
§ 8.7    Covering of shipping cost for returned goods in conjunction with the right of withdrawal:
Customers who exercise their right of withdrawal will have to cover for the common cost of returning the goods if the value of the returned goods does not exceed 40 EUR or if the customer has not yet complied to all obligations related to the contract i.e. has not yet paid for the goods in whole or in part. If the aforementioned does not apply, the returning of the goods is free for the customer.

 
§ 9   Damages during transport

§ 9.1    Should customers receive goods showing obvious damages that may have occurred during transport, they are asked to have the damages signed off or reported otherwise to by / to the carrier and to contact the vendor immediately.
§ 9.2    Not reporting transportation damages does not impact a customers warranty claims. Reporting them however helps the vendor to make a claim for the damages against the carrier or the transport insurance company.


§ 10  Warranty


Warranty is being duly executed according to German national laws.


§ 11   Liability

The vendor herewith excludes simple negligence from any contract unless it does affect a vital part of the contract, damages of life an health, guarantees or claims according to product liability laws. This does also apply to simple negligence by our contract partners (i.e. carriers).

 

§ 12  Final provisions

§ 12.1    Should any part of the before stated terms and conditions be deemed invalid the remaining parts of the contract are still in effect. The invalid part shall then be replaced with the corresponding laws of Germany.
§ 12.2    The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply.
