Right of withdrawal instructions for the delivery of wares

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw this contract within fourteen days without giving any reasons.

The right of withdrawal period is fourteen days starting at the day, at which you or a third person authorized by you which is not the carrier, has accepted the last ware.

In order to apply your right of withdrawal you have to inform us (ScanDig GmbH, Albert-Schweitzer-Straße 15b, 82008 Unterhaching, Fax: (089) 66550677, e-mail: info@scandig.de, Tel: (089) 66550676) about your decision to revoke this contract with a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, a fax or an e-mail). Therefore you can use the enclosed sample right of withdrawal form, which, however, is not prescribed. In order to keep the right of withdrawal deadline it is sufficient that you send the message about applying the right of withdrawal before the end of the right of withdrawal deadline.

Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw this contract, we have to refund you all payments received by you, including the delivery costs (except additional costs which arise when you have chosen a different delivery method than the cheapest offered standard delivery method), immediately and not later than fourteen days after the day at which we have received your message about the withdrawal of the contract. For this back payment we use the same payment instrument you have used for the original transaction, except we have explicitly agreed something different with you; in no case for this back payment any fees will by charged to you. We have the right to refuse the back payment until we have received the wares or you have brought the proof that you have sent back the wares, depending on which is the earlier moment.

You have to send back or hand over the wares immediately and in any case not later than fourteen days after the day, at which you inform us about the withdrawal of the contract. The deadline is kept if you send the wares before the end of the fourteen days period. You bear the immediate costs for the return shipment of the wares. These costs are 50,00 Euro for wares which cannot be sent back normally by post due to their constitution.

You have to come up for a possible loss in value of the wares only if this loss in value can be traced back to a handling which is not necessary for the examination of the constitution, properties and functionalty of the wares.

End of the right of withdrawal instructions for the delivery of wares

 

Exceptions from the right of withdrawal

There is no right of withdrawal for distance selling contracts for the delivery of computer software, if the software has been unsealed, registered or activated after the delivery. This also holds for software which is delivered in a bundle with hardware.

§ 5 International deliverys

1. If you make a payment from a non-EU-country (e.g. Switzerland, Liechtenstein) make sure, that the total amount of the invoice is booked to our account without deductions.

2. If you send back wares from a non-EU-country (e.g. Switzerland, Liechtenstein), due to the customs handling it is necessary that you inform us about the return shipment in advance.

§ 6 Warranty, Repairs

1. The legal law of liability for defects applies if not explicitly something else is agreed.

Restrictions for businessmen: For the constitution of the wares only our own statements as well as the product description of the manufacturer, which are included in the contract, apply; we do not assume liability for public comments of the manufacturer or other publicity statements. For businessmen the limitation period for claims of defects for new wares is one year after changeover of the risk. The sale of used items is done without any warranty. The legal limitation periods for regress claims according to § 445a BGB are not affected. The risk of an accidential lost or deterioration is transferred to you as soon as we have delivered the ware to the express agent or to any person which is entitled for the shipment process.

Rules for merchants: For merchants the examination and reproval duty holds according to § 377 HGB. If you do without the annunciation, which is regulated there, then the ware is considered as approved, execpt for the case that there is an error, which was not recognizable at the examination. This does not hold for an error we have maliciously concealed.

Note for consumers: We want to inform you that the limitation period concerning your warranty rights for used wares can be reduced to one year, if we inform you about that explicitly and if it is separately agreed.

2. Minor faults in the goods or insignificant variation of specification or minor deviation from description (i.e. color, dimensions, weight) or other attributes or performance features do not state warranty claims for the customer. For merchants the legal rules, examination rules and reproval rules according to the HGB hold.

3. Defects and damages resulting from the fact that the customer did not adhere to the prescribed installation guide and operating conditions are excluded from the warranty.

4. Intrusion or repairs of equipment, carried out by the customer or non authorized technical personnel, results in forfeiture of warranty claims.

5. Defects of quality can be remedied on the customer's choice either by removal of defects or by replacement. If removal of defects or replacement leads to unreasonable or disproportionate costs, the claim of the buyer is restricted to the remaining way of supplementary performance. The customer's right of cancellation of the contract or reduction of the purchase price remains unaffected, if supplementary performance failed twice.

6. In case of defects of quality the buyer has the choice to remit the equipment to the company ScanDig or directly to the manufacturer. If the customer remittes defective equipment to Scandig, we forward it to the manufacturer; in this case the duration of repair will extend substantially. It is neccessary, that the buyer encloses a copy of the invoice and a detailed error description.

§ 7 Liability

1. ScanDig company is liable according to the legal directives in case of severe negligence or intention, or when guaranteed features are missing, or for claims accoding to the product liability act. For damages concerning the violation of life, corps or health, which are based on a intentional or negligent violation of duty from ScanDig or a legal substitute or servant, ScanDig is liable according to the legal directives.

2. In case of easy negligence the liability is excluded, if neither an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) is violated, nor life, corps or health is violated, or in the case of unenforceability or delay.

3. If an essential contractual obligation is violated or in case of unenforceability or delay, in case of simple negligence the liability for damages which are not based on a violation of life, corps or health is limited on such typical damages, which could be foreseen at the contract conclusion or according to the usual contract procedure.

4. The agreed liability restrictions according to paragraph 2 and 3 also hold in the case of the initial disability of ScanDig or its subcontractor/distributor, where in this case the liability is restricted to the contractually payable amount. The preceding liability restriction according to paragraph 2 and 3 also hold for employees and other associates of ScanDig and for subcontractors/distributors of ScanDig.

THE PRECEDING LIABILITY RESTRICTIONS ACCORDING TO THE PRECEDINGS PARAGRAPHS DO NOT RESTRICT THE LEGAL CLAIMS ACCORDING TO THE PRODUCT LIABILITY ACT. THE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES CONCERNING LIFE, COPRS OR HEALTH, WHICH ARE BASED ON A NEGLIGENT VIOLATION OF DUTIES OF SCANDIG OR AN INTENTIONAL OR NEGLIGENT VIOLATION OF DUTIES OF A LEGAL SUBSTITUTE OR SERVANT, IS NOT EFFECTED BY THE PRECEDING LIABILITY RESTRICTION. THE LIABILITY FOR WARRANTIES IS UNLIMITED AS FAR AS THE WARRANTY SHOULD PROTECT THE CUSTOMER FROM ARRIVING A DAMAGE.
