(1) If the product has quality defects or was not ordered by you, FREITAG will gladly take it back regardless of your right to cancel and warranty claims. We will also refund the purchase price, the cost of returning the product, any duties and taxes incurred (to be documented with receipts), as well as the original shipping costs. However, we cannot accept products that show signs of wear and tear, including:
- everyday use
- force majeure, (e.g., natural catastrophes)
- improper use
- modifications by the buyer or a third party
- excessive use of force on the part of the customer.
(2) If the product requires a repair, FREITAG will carry it out free of charge for the first two years from the date of purchase (for registered products for the first three years), notwithstanding your right to cancel and warranty claims. This warranty applies only if the circumstances that made the repair necessary were not intentional or due to improper use, modifications by the buyer or a third party, or normal wear and tear over time. When registering a warranty claim, you must provide proof of the date of purchase and return the product to our repair facility at your own expense. FREITAG will bear the cost of the return shipment to you after a successful repair. If a repair proves to be impossible, FREITAG will likewise return the item to you. In this case, you are not entitled to a replacement product.
(3) If the product is lost during return shipping to FREITAG, we cannot give you a refund. We therefore recommend using a company that offers a shipment tracking service.
(4) The purchase of vouchers can be revoked within the statutory cancellation period, when § 6 applies. A cash payment of any credit is not possible once the cancellation period has expired. More specifically, vouchers cannot be refunded if the customer returns goods under his statutory right to cancel that have been paid for wholly or in part using the voucher.
