Consumer's Right of Withdrawal
You may withdraw from your declaration of intent in connection with the conclusion of the contract within two weeks without mention of any reason therefor. The withdrawal can be executed through written form (i.e. letter, fax, email) according to § 126 b BGB or by returning the item itself, if you received the goods before the deadline of your withdrawal rights expired. The right of withdrawal is excluded in agreements:
(1) which deal with the delivery of goods, which as a result of their nature are not suited and/or suitable for return (i.e. e-books, downloads etc.);
(2) which deal with the delivery of newspapers and magazines
(3) which deal with the delivery of audio-only and/or audio-visual recordings and/or software, insofar as the wrapping and/or other protective covering of the applicable record and/or other applicable data carrier has been opened and/or otherwise disposed of; the immediately aforesaid shall also be applicable to any other goods or products to which audio-only and/or_audio-visual recordings and/or software are added (i.e. included with such other goods), insofar as the wrapping and/or other protective covering of such other applicable goods and/or products shall have been opened and/or otherwise disposed of.
(4) which deal with the delivery of goods, which goods have been manufactured and/or made pursuant to the individual specifications of a client(s) (e.g. personal books);
Paragraph 312(d)(4) of the German Civil Code ("BGB") is otherwise applicable.
The period of two weeks begins at the earliest with the receipt of this instruction in written form according to § 126 b BGB, however not before you shall have received the goods and not before we shall have fulfilled our obligations to inform pursuant to § 312e Abs. 1 Satz 1 BGB and § 3 BGB-InfoV, § 312c Abs. 2 BGB . To effectively meet the above reference cancellation deadline, it is sufficient to either send the above referenced cancellation notice (in writing) and/or to return the applicable item within the said, applicable cancellation deadline. You must direct your declaration of withdrawal to the following address:

Legal consequences of withdrawal:
In case of an effective withdrawal, Consumer and Shop must restore what has been received by each of them in the performance of the contract; including benefits obtained through usage (e.g. interest). If you are not able to wholly restore what you have received and/or if you are only able to do so in part and/or in a deteriorated state, you shall then have to compensate Shop therefor. With regard to items received pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, the immediately aforesaid shall not be applicable in the event that the deterioration of a given item received results exclusively from the inspection of the said item, as this inspection would and could have normally been made in a store and/or shop. You can prevent your paying any compensation if you do not use the item like an owner and if you refrain from everything which might affect the value of the item. If the item can be sent back as a package, it is to be send back as a package on our risk. You have to bear the costs of returning the item, if the item delivered corresponds and complies with the item ordered, and if the items value does not exceed the amount of 40 (forty) EURO or if this amount exceeds 40 (forty) EURO and the full consideration therefor or a contractually agreed partial payment for same is not fulfilled at the time of your withdrawal. In any other event, the return to us shall be free of cost to you. Items which cannot be send as a package will be picked up at your residence. The above mentioned obligation of restoration (as set out above) must be fullfilled within 30 (thirty) days. For you, this deadline begins with the posting your withdrawal or of the goods, and for us it begins with receipt of your withdrawal or of the goods.
