ARTICLE 3 - APPLICABILITY
These general terms and conditions apply to any offer made by the business and to any distance agreement and orders between the business and the consumer. Before the distance agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance agreement is concluded that the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the business’s premises and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge upon request.
If the distance agreement is concluded electronically, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available electronically in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance agreement is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be accessed electronically and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge upon request, either electronically or in another way.
In cases where specific product or service conditions are also applicable alongside these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs will apply accordingly, and in the event of conflicting general terms and conditions, the consumer can always rely on the provision that is most favorable to them.

ARTICLE 6 - RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
When purchasing (non-personalized) products, the consumer has the option to terminate the agreement without providing reasons within 90 days. This cooling-off period starts on the day after the consumer or a representative appointed by the consumer receives the product.
During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. They will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine whether they wish to keep the product. If they exercise their right of withdrawal, they will return the product with all delivered accessories and, if reasonably possible, in its original condition and packaging to the business, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the business.
When the consumer wishes to exercise their right of withdrawal, they must notify the business within 90 days of receipt of the product. The notification must be made using the contact form on the website or by email. After the consumer has notified the business of the wish to exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must return the product within 90 days. The consumer must provide proof that the goods have been returned in time, for example by means of a proof of shipment.
ARTICLE 7 - COSTS IN CASE OF WITHDRAWAL
If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, the costs of returning the products are at the consumer’s expense. If the consumer has paid an amount, the business will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after withdrawal, provided that the product has already been received by the web store or conclusive proof of complete return can be provided.
ARTICLE 8 - EXCLUSION OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

ARTICLE 10 - CONFORMITY AND WARRANTY

In the event of non-payment or late payment, the consumer is legally in default, and the business may charge statutory interest and collection costs.
ARTICLE 13 - COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
The business provides a complaints procedure that has been sufficiently publicized and handles complaints in accordance with this procedure.
Complaints about the execution of the agreement must be submitted to the business within a reasonable time, fully and clearly described, after the consumer has discovered the defects. The complaints will be answered within 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires more time for handling, the business will respond within 14 days with a notice of receipt and an indication of when the consumer can expect a more detailed response.
