Right of withdrawal

E-mail: info@tomcase.de

by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by mail, fax or e-mail) about your decision to revoke this contract. You can use the enclosed sample revocation form for this purpose, but it is not mandatory.

In order to comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.
Consequences of the revocation

If you withdraw from this contract, we must refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received notification of your withdrawal 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 for this repayment.

We may refuse to refund you until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.

You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any case no later than within fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the deadline of fourteen days.

You bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

You only have to pay for any loss of value of the goods if this loss of value is due to the handling of the goods which is not necessary for the inspection of the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.

End of the cancellation policy

(1) The right of withdrawal does not apply to the delivery of goods that are not prefabricated and for the manufacture of which an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.

(2) Please avoid damage and contamination. Please return the goods to us in the original packaging with all accessories and with all packaging components.

(4) Please note that the modalities specified in the above paragraphs 2 and 3 are not a prerequisite for the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal.

§8 Transport damage

(1) If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please complain about such defects immediately to the delivery person and contact us as soon as possible.

(2) Failure to make a complaint or contact us shall have no consequences for your statutory warranty rights. However, they help us to be able to assert our own claims against the carrier or the transport insurance.

§9 Warranty

(2) If you are a consumer in the sense of § 13 BGB (German Civil Code), the limitation period for warranty claims for used goods is – in deviation from the statutory provisions – one year. This limitation shall not apply to claims based on damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health or from the breach of a material contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the fulfillment of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligation) as well as to claims based on other damages resulting from an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the user or its vicarious agents.

(3) In all other respects, the statutory provisions shall apply to the warranty.

(4) If you are an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB (German Civil Code), the statutory provisions shall apply with the following modifications:

• Only our own specifications and the manufacturer’s product description are binding for the quality of the goods, but not public promotions and statements and other advertising by the manufacturer.
• You are obliged to inspect the goods immediately and with due care for deviations in quality and quantity and to notify us of any obvious defects within 7 days of receipt of the goods. Timely dispatch is sufficient to meet the deadline. This also applies to hidden defects discovered later from the time of discovery. The assertion of warranty claims is excluded in the event of a breach of the obligation to inspect and give notice of defects.
• In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by repair or replacement (subsequent performance). In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be required to bear the increased costs incurred by transporting the goods to a place other than the place of performance, provided that such transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.
• If the supplementary performance fails twice, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract.
• The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods.

The liability for slight negligence is limited to the amount of damages foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. This limitation of liability shall also apply in favor of our vicarious agents.
