3. The cancellation policy consists of the rules that are listed in detail in the following

Cancellation Policy Instruction

Cancellation Policy
You may cancel your contract in written form (for instance letter, fax, e-mail) within 14 days without any reason, or – if the item has been given to you before the end of this period – you can also cancel by sending the item back. The period begins upon receipt of this policy in written form, but not before receipt of the goods by the recipient (in the case of recurring delivery of the same type of goods, not before receipt of the first installment), and also not before fulfilment of our information duties in accordance with Art. 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 Paragraphs 1 and 2 EGBGB (Introductory Law to the German Civil Code), as well as our duties in accordance with § 312 e Paragr. 1 Clause 1 BGB in conjunction with Art. 246 § 3 EGBGB. For compliance with the cancellation period, the dispatch of the cancellation or the item in due time is sufficient.

Cancellation form

The cancellation is to be addressed to:

esogetics GmbH
Hildastrasse 8
D-76646 Bruchsal
Germany
info-de@esogetics.com

Consequences of cancellation
In case of a valid cancellation, the services received by either side and the profits drawn (for instance interest) shall be refunded, or if applicable, be returned. If you are unable or partially unable to refund or return the service or usage (for instance benefits of use) to us, or you can only return it in an impaired condition, you have to pay an appropriate compensation according to the value. Compensation must only be paid for the impairment of the item and benefits derived, insofar as the uses or impairment of the item is attributable to use beyond the scope of testing the properties and functionalities of the item. “Testing the properties and functionalities” is understood to mean the testing and trying out of the item in question, as it would have been possible and usual in a retail shop. Goods consignable by parcel shipment may be returned at our risk.

You must bear the regular costs of the return shipment, if the goods conform with those ordered, and if the price of the items returned does not exceed an amount of € 40.00, or in the case of a higher price of the goods, if you have not yet performed the return service or any partial payment, as agreed upon by contract at the point in time of cancellation.

Otherwise, returning the goods is free of charge for you. Objects not capable of dispatch by parcel post shall be collected from you. Obligation for payment refunds must be fulfilled within 30 days. The deadline begins for you with the sending of the cancellation or item, and for us it begins with the receipt.

– End of the cancellation policy instruction –

The cancellation right does not apply in long distance sale contracts
a) about the delivery of items, which have been customized to client specifications or which are unequivocally adapted to personal needs, or which due to their nature do not lend themselves to return shipment or that could spoil quickly or whose expiration date has passed.
b) about the delivery of audio or video recordings or of software, if the delivered data carriers have been unsealed.
