Right of cancellation for consumers 

(A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession).

 You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The cancellation period is 14 days from the day

- on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has or has taken possession of the goods, provided that you have ordered one or more goods as part of a single order and these are or will be delivered uniformly;

- on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, have taken possession of the last goods, if you have ordered several goods as part of a single order and these are delivered separately;

- on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, have taken possession of the last partial consignment or the last item, if you have ordered goods that are delivered in several partial consignments or items;

To exercise your right of cancellation, you must inform the provider of the product/service of your decision to cancel this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax, email or a direct message via our marketplace system). You can use the attached sample cancellation form, but this is not mandatory.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your notification of exercising your right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired.

 If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.

We will collect the goods.

The supplier bears the costs of returning goods that can be sent by parcel post. You shall bear the direct costs of returning goods that cannot be sent by parcel post in the amount of EUR 79.

You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for checking their condition, properties and functionality.

- for the delivery of goods that can spoil quickly or whose expiry date would be quickly exceeded;

- for the delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts.

The right of cancellation expires prematurely for contracts

- for the delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after delivery;

- for the delivery of goods if they have been inseparably mixed with other goods after delivery due to their nature;
