(b)The withdrawal can be processed only if the products are not engraved and do not include any customization and/or specifications.

10. Warranty

(a) Products supplied may vary slightly from the products as depicted on the internet as far as is reasonable and the customer is accepted to check the information of the product accurately in advance before confirming the order (see Section 2 / a of the terms and conditions).

(b) The vendor can initially choose between demanding warranty through subsequent fulfilment through repair or replacement delivery.

In the case of contractors, the vendor will choose initially a remedy or replacement for our warranty on deficiencies on the product.

(c) If the subsequent performance fails, the customer may generally demand either a reduction in the remuneration or cancellation of the agreement (withdrawal). In the case of minor defects, the customer shall have no right of rescission-considering their mutual interests. In all cases of claims for damages against the contract partner, instead of the performance of the delivery or service the customer shall demand compensation for wasted expenditure which are entered into by the customer in reliance on receipt and which the customer is allowed to make. If the customer claims for compensation of damages, the limitation of liability in Section 11/a of these terms and conditions applies.

(d) The customer's rights in the event of defects require that the customer has properly met his examination and notification obligations. Contractors, in particular, are required to report obvious defects in products supplied as soon as possible within two weeks of receiving the products; failure to do so will render the warranty invalid. Punctual dispatch of the defective products, or prompt notification that the products are defective, will be accepted as a valid claim as long as this is done prior to the deadline. The contractor is responsible for making all the necessary notifications and, in particular, for noting details of the defects and the date on which they occurred, and for reporting the damage in a timely manner.

(e) The warranty period for the customer is two years after delivery of the products. That two years warranty period does not apply if the customer is intentionally or grossly negligent in taking due care of the products. The above liability restrictions do not apply in the case of losses arising from fatality, physical injury or damage to health.

(f) The vendor does not make any legally binding guarantees with the customer unless otherwise expressly agreed. Manufacturer`s guarantees remain unaffected.

11. Limitation of Liability

(a) In the case of slightly negligent breaches of obligation the vendor’s liability and the liability of the sub-contractors shall be limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical, immediate average damage with regard to the type of product. This shall also apply in cases of minor infringements of obligations by the vendor's legal representatives or agents. The vendor shall not be liable in cases of ordinary negligent breaches of other contractual obligations. The vendor shall be liable for the violation of the contractually legal positions of the customer. Contractually legal positions are those which the contract is obliged to grant to the signatory in order to his whole purpose. The vendor shall also be liable for any infringement of these obligations which enable the realisation of the contract according to the rules in the first place and on whose observance the user regularly trusts
