Only in the event that the repair or replacement is excessive or impossible, or cannot be carried out within a reasonable period of time, do you have the right to demand a price reduction or the rescission of the contract of sale. If the defect or fault becomes apparent within two years of delivery, it is assumed to have already existed before delivery unless we can prove otherwise.

To ensure a smooth handling we ask you to always add the order number and photo to your mail. Feel free to let us know if you want an exchange or a refund. In this case you will receive a free return label from us. Afterwards, send the damaged product to our return address. In case of a refund, please also add your account number so we can carry out the refund. All items must be returned to us in a neat and tidy condition.

We are not responsible for failure to comply with our obligations if this is the consequence of or is caused by labour disputes or any other circumstances that are reasonably beyond the company's control such as situations of force majeure, civil unrest or riots, floods, fire, strikes, lock-outs, transportation problems and promulgation of laws. If it becomes impossible due to such circumstances for the company to deliver the ordered items in whole or in part within a reasonable timespan, the customer's liability will be limited to the value of the items already delivered, increased by any associated shipping costs.

We check prices and specifications to the best of our ability, but although we make every effort to ensure that they are correct, we cannot be held liable for errors and omissions. We reserve the right to change our prices and specifications without prior notice.

These rules describe the conditions for submitting or using customer reviews on our website. The rules supplement the terms and conditions of use for our website and our privacy policy and apply to all users of our website.

When you submit a review, you automatically accept all terms and conditions of these rules and agree to comply with them.

a.  Guidelines

We believe it is important that our customers receive all the information they need to make informed decisions about our products. We encourage all customers who have bought a product to share their experiences with others. We ask them however to follow these simple guidelines:

Your review must:

•    represent your honest opinion, regardless of whether this is positive or negative;

•    be correct as regards the stated facts;

•    be relevant – focus on specific properties of a product and your experience with it;

•    be concise - the number of characters is not limited, but we advise you to keep your review to 300 words.

On the other hand it is not permitted:

•    to post obscene, tasteless, insulting or hateful reviews;

•    to slander or provoke others;

•    to impersonate someone else or to provide a false identity;

•    to state the name, contact details or other personal details of another person;

•    to include advertising or publicity material or links to other websites in your review;

•    to include material created by someone else or to infringe another person's rights in your review;

•    to give details about prices or availability in your review;

•    to comment on another customer review.

These guidelines apply to every customer review and must be complied with according to the letter and spirit. We will decide at our discretion whether a customer review infringes these guidelines.

b. How we may use your customer review

You retain copyright to a customer review which you submit on our website. 

But when you submit a review:

•    you grant us the right to make free use of, amend, adapt, reproduce, publish and disseminate your customer review. This permission is free of charge and in perpetuity and can be passed on to third parties under sub-licence at our own discretion;

•    you warrant that you wrote the review yourself, that it is not fully or largely copied from other material and that it does not infringe the aforementioned guidelines;

•    you renounce any moral or similar rights you may have to your customer review, insofar as this is legally permitted.

The rights you grant us in relation to any customer review whatsoever that you place on our website imply (without restriction) that we are at liberty to publish your review in full or in part, even if you change your opinion and you request us to remove it; and also to remove or process it, even if it does not entail any infringement of our guidelines; and to use it in connection with the promotion or announcement of products and services on our website.

c. Infringements of our rules and guidelines

We reserve the right - at our discretion - to refuse, remove or modify a customer review, if we are of the view that it infringes these rules. We expressly reject any liability for any loss or harm arising from the use of customer reviews by any person whatsoever contrary to these rules.

If we are of the view that these rules have been infringed, we may take suitable action at our discretion. Any failure to comply with these rules is a material breach of the user conditions that allow you to use our website and may result in one or all of the following actions:

•    immediate, temporary or permanent withdrawal of your right to use our website;

•    immediate, temporary or permanent removal of customer reviews you have already submitted on our website;

•    a warning sent to you;

•    legal steps against you for repayment of all costs (including but not limited to our reasonable administrative and legal costs) arising from the infringement;

•    further legal steps against you; and

•    handing over this information to law enforcement agencies if we consider this reasonably necessary or are legally obliged to do so.

We reject any liability for measures we may take in response to infringements of these rules. These measures are not limited to the above list and we are at liberty to take all other measures that we consider reasonably necessary.

d. Our responsibility

Customer reviews or other material displayed on our website are provided without guarantees, conditions or representations regarding their accuracy. Insofar as legally permitted, we, the other members of our group of companies and third parties affiliated to us, expressly reject:

•    Any provisions, guarantees or other conditions otherwise implied by the law, common law or equity law

•    Any liability for loss or harm, direct or indirect, incurred by a user in connection with our website or material placed thereon, including (but not limited to) loss of income, profit, data or clients.

•    Nothing in these rules prevents bringing claims against us because of loss or harm you suffer due to our failure to comply with these rules, and nothing in these rules excludes our liability in the event of death or personal injury due to our negligence, or our liability in the event of fraudulent or incorrect presentation of a fundamental element, or any other liability whatsoever that cannot be excluded or limited on the basis of applicable law.

 e. Complaints

If you wish to submit a complaint about a customer review on our website, please send this by e-mail.

We comply with all legal obligations regarding the disposal of waste batteries and electrical and electronic equipment. We and our partners ensure that the batteries and electronic devices sold by us are properly taken back and processed. We emphasize to our customers that, in accordance with the applicable regulations, electrical and electronic appliances and batteries that have reached the end of their service life or are obsolete or no longer work must not be thrown in the dustbin or in the selective sorting bins of their local authority. This prohibition is indicated on the products themselves by the symbol of the crossed-out wheelie bin. The aim of these regulations is to reduce the waste of raw materials and to protect the environment and human health by preventing the dispersal in nature of substances contained in certain appliances. You have the possibility to dispose of this waste at an appropriate collection point or in our shops.
