Refund policy

---

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal. Please note that this is usually granted by law for 14 days, yet we voluntarily extend this period to 30 days.

For contracts concluded after 13.06.2014 the following withdrawal conditions apply: note from the provider: please note that we have compiled the following information about the right of withdrawal on the basis of the sample text provided by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection. This text is ambiguous in our opinion, however, because pursuant to Section 187 Subsection 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB) the day of contract conclusion and/or the day on which possession is taken of the purchase item does not count when calculating the duration of the right of withdrawal. The deadline for withdrawal therefore ends rightly only 14 days after the date of contract conclusion or on which possession is taken. We would likewise ask you to kindly note that, in the event that you do not receive this information about the right of withdrawal at the same time as the contract is concluded, the deadline will also begin later, namely at the time when you receive this information. Please note this when reading the following information; in any case we will take this into account for you when calculating the deadline.
