§ 7 Right of withdrawal
Cancellation policy
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, took possession of the goods.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Adenci GmbH, Rosenstraße 14, 79108 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, email: info@adenci.com) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email). You may use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, but this is not mandatory.
You can also declare your withdrawal at any time via the electronic withdrawal function provided on our website, which is available throughout the withdrawal period, clearly highlighted and easily accessible.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of fourteen days has expired.
You will bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Special notes
The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the supply of goods that are made to the customer’s specifications or clearly tailored to personal needs (e.g. personalised products), or to sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after delivery.

§ 9 Retention of title

§ 10 Warranty
(1) The statutory rights for defects under the provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB) apply. For new goods, the limitation period for claims for defects is two years from delivery of the goods.
(2) If a material defect becomes apparent within twelve months of delivery of the goods, it is presumed that the goods were already defective at the time of delivery, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or of the defect.

§ 15 Applicable law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. In relation to consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not restrict mandatory statutory provisions of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence.
§ 16 Final provisions
Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The statutory provisions shall apply in place of the invalid provision.
