To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received it, and at your own cost and risk.

If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Order Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.
Price and payment
Payment will be processed at point of order. Should we for any reason be unable to fulfil your order, this will be refunded within 3 working days.
The price of the Product shall be our quoted price (except in case of obvious error) or if none is given the price in our current published product catalogue.
Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.
The price of the product is shown including German VAT. Depending on the delivery address, the final price will be adjusted to the corresponding VAT of the country. We are a retail customer-facing channel.
Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our acceptance procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.
You shall be liable to pay our charges for delivery, which will vary depending on your location and the value of your order. Please refer to the delivery section for a list of delivery charges.
All charges must be paid prior to delivery. Legal ownership in the Goods remains with us until full payment has been received by us.
