8.3 Consequences of Cancellation

If you cancel this contract then we shall refund all payments that we have received from you, including the shipping costs (with the exception of supplemental costs incurred by your selection of a different type of shipping than the standard, most-favorable-rate shipping offered by us) without delay and by no later than within fourteen days after the date that we receive your message about your cancellation of this contract. This refund shall be made by the same means as you used in making your payment for the original transaction, unless otherwise expressly agreed between us. In no case will any fees be charged to you for this refund. We may refuse to make the refund until we have received the returned goods or until you have provided evidence that you have shipped the goods back, depending on which is the earlier point in time.

You shall ship or return the products to us immediately, and in any case by no later than within fourteen days after the date when you inform us about the cancellation of this contract. This return schedule is granted provided you ship the products back to us before expiration of the grace period of fourteen days.

If you cannot return the product to us in whole, or potentially not in the same condition, or only in a deteriorated condition, then you must compensate us for the loss of value.

This shall not apply to the surrender of goods when the deterioration of the goods is attributable exclusively to their physical examination - as would have been possible for you in a physical store, for example.

In addition, you can avoid your duty for compensation of value for any deterioration of condition due to proper and orderly operation of the product, by taking the product into use not as your own property, and ceasing everything that adversely impacts its value.

You are not required to compensate for loss of value for any deterioration occurring through the proper and orderly use of the item. You are only required to compensate for any loss of value of the products when this loss of value is due to handling of the product which is not necessary for examination of its characteristics, function and properties.

We will bear the expense for returning the products if you obtain and use an approved return ticket from us, or if you contact our customer service department. Otherwise, the return shipping costs will be your responsibility.

End of Cancellation Notice

8.4 Exclusion/Expiration of Right of Cancellation

However, regarding the delivery of standard mats, this cancellation period shall not end before conclusion of the contract or receipt of the product by the receiver (or in the case of recurring shipments of equivalent products, not before receipt of the partial delivery) and not before completion of our information reporting requirements, for customers in Germany pursuant to §312c para. 2 BGB in connection with §1 para.1, 2 and 4 BGB-InfoV, and of our information reporting requirements pursuant to §312e para. 1 line 1 BGB in connection with §3 BGB-InfoV, and/or for customers in Austria pursuant to §§ 5e and 5d of the Austrian International Sales Law.

The right of cancellation shall not apply to online contracts for delivery of products which are tailor made to customer specifications (patterns) or are produced to unique personal requirements of the customer or which are not suitable for return due to their particular nature (personalizing of products).

Your right of cancellation shall also expire if the contract has been fully completed by both parties, at your express request, before you have exercised your right of cancellation.

9. Warrantee:

The standard warrantee period under law shall apply, unless a more extensive warrantee is granted for the particular article.

If defects in the purchased item appear during the legal warrantee period,

then you may elect to enforce your legal claims to correction of defects, redelivery of product or delivery of a defect-free product. If transport damage is noticed on the product, then you may request a refund (damage report) by filing a report with the employee of the shipping company. Any other noticed transport damage must be enforced by no later than eight days after receipt of the product, against the shipping service provider DHL or Post.at in writing. If a renewed shipment is provided, then any defective delivered product must be returned within 30 days. 

You may request more extensive claims for price reduction or cancellation, and also for compensation of damages, instead of a new delivery, and also the compensation of your incurred expenses, when the legal requisites are present. We are entitled to refuse your selected method of reworking, without liability, when such reworking is only possible at a disproportionate cost.

KLEEN-TEX shall not be liable for defects occurring as a result of improper handling, normal wear or due to outside effects. Any repairs to products by third parties under the customer’s authority, which are handled without our written consent, shall void the KLEEN-TEX warrantee. The purchaser may not assign or convey any warrantee claims.

10. Liability

The online shop shall be liable in cases of premeditation or gross negligence, according to the legal regulations. Liability for warrantees shall apply regardless of fault. In the case of minor negligence, the online shop shall be liable exclusively under the regulations of product liability law, due to injury to life, health or due to a violation of essential contract stipulations. A claim for compensation of damages for minor negligent violation of essential contract duties, however, is limited to the typical, foreseeable damages and only to the amount of the purchase price, unless the fault involves injury to life or health. The online shop’s liability is limited to the same amount involving fault of employees.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph (8.1) extend to compensation of damages by means of reworking, compensation of damages instead of reworking, and compensation of damages due to expenses incurred, regardless of the particular legal basis, including liability due to defects, delays or impossibility.
