End-consumers from the EU, as well as Switzerland and Norway, have a 14-day right of withdrawal. This right of withdrawal neither applies to commercial customers nor deliveries outside the EU, Switzerland and Norway.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to distance contracts
Exercising the right of withdrawal, the customer always has to cover the regular costs of returning the goods provided the goods received are those ordered. In any other case the return is free of charge for the customer.
Germany: As an exception to this, the customer always has to cover the costs of returns from Germany if the costs of returning the goods provided the goods received are those ordered and if the value of the returned goods does not exceed 40EUR or the customer has not paid the full amount or the installment as per contract, even if the value of the good(s) does exceed 40EUR. In any other case the return is free of charge for the customer.
Finland: Returns from Finnland are always free if the goods can be returned by post.
The customer has the right to withdraw from the contract in written form (e.g. letter, fax, email) within 14 days without giving any reason or – if you have received the goods before the deadline – by returning the goods. This period begins after receipt of these instructions in written form but not until the recipient has received the goods (for multiple deliveries of similar items not until the first partial delivery) and not until Sport-Tiedje have carried out their duty to supply information in accordance with article 246 §2 in conjunction with §1 subparagraph 1 and 2 EGBGB (Introductory Act to the German Civil Code) in conjunction with article 246 § 3 EGBGB. Sending off the withdrawal declaration or goods in time is sufficient in order to comply with the cancellation deadline. The withdrawal declaration is to be sent to:
Sport-Tiedje GmbH, Flensburger Str. 55, D-24837 Schleswig
Email: info@sport-tiedje.de, Fax: +49 (0) 4621 4210 699
In the case of a valid withdrawal, the goods and services received from both parties are to be recompensed and any advantages gained (e.g. bank interest), if applicable, reimbursed. If the customer cannot recompense Sport-Tiedje the received goods and services in full or only in a partially worse condition, he or she will have to pay compensation. This does not apply if the returned good's loss of value is down to testing - just like the customer could have done in the shop. By the way, having to pay compensation due to the deterioration of the product despite using it as inteded can be avoided by not treating it like your personal property and refraining from doing anything which might affect its value. Goods which can be sent by parcel post are to be returned at Sport-Tiedje's risk. The customer has to cover the costs of returning the goods provided the goods received are those ordered and if the value of the returned goods does not exceed 40EUR or the customer has not paid the full amount or the installment as per contract, even if the value of the good(s) does exceed 40EUR. In any other case the return is free of charge for the customer. Goods which cannot be sent by parcel post will be collected. The obligation to refund payments has to be fulfilled within 30 days. For the customer this period begins when the withdrawal declaration or the goods are sent off, for Sport-Tiedje with the receipt of the latter.
If the customer has financed this contract with a loan and cancels this contract, the loan contract is no longer binding if both contracts are one financial unit. This can be assumed in particular if Sport-Tiedje are also the lender or if the lender cooperates with Sport-Tiedje regarding the financing. If Sport-Tiedje have already received the loan amount when the cancellation takes effect, the lender in relation with the customer will join Sport-Tiedje in their financed contract's rights and obligations regarding the withdrawal or return's legal implications. The latter does not apply if the present contract serves the purpose of acquiring financial instruments (securities, foreign currency or derivates). Should the customer wish to avoid any contractual obligation to the greatest extent, he/she is advised to cancel both contracts separately.
