Deliveries abroad can be carried out only as a total delivery.

5 CONSUMER Rights European Union - Returning unwanted goods – distance Contracts only

(1) As a european consumer the purchaser has the right to withdraw from his purchases if they are fullfill the requirements as distance contracts. Distance contracts are contracts in which the entrepreneur or a person acting in his name or on his behalf and the consumer exclusively use means of distance communication for the contract negotiations and the conclusion of the contract, i.e., the contract is concluded exclusively via telephone, fax, letter or e-mail. A “consumer” within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be attributed primarily to their commercial or independent professional activity. The "right to withdraw” period expires 14 days after the day the purchaser received the goods. If this period expires on a non-working day, the purchaser´s deadline is extended till the next working day.

(2) The purchaser can choose to withdraw from his order for any reason within this timeframe - even if he simply changed his mind. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the purchaser must unequivocally inform us (MIZU GmbH, Weidgang 8 – 14, D - 78247 Hilzingen, Telefon: +49 7731-90670, E-Mail: info@mizu.de) of his decision to withdraw from the purchase. The purchaser can do this, for example, by adding a written statement to the goods that he is returning by post, or by sending a fax or e-mail or the purchaser may use the model withdrawal form, which he will find on our homepage. The model withdrawal form is not obligatory. Insert the purchasers name, geographical address and, where available, the purchasers telephone number, fax number and e-mail address. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for the purchaser to send his communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired. It is not enough to just send the goods back!

(3) Effects of withdrawal

If the purchaser withdraws from this contract, we shall reimburse to the purchaser all payments received from the purchaser, including the costs of delivery (apart from the supplementary costs resulting from the purchaser’s choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), but we will delay the refund till we have received the goods back or evidence that the purchaser sent them back. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as the purchaser used for the initial transaction, unless the purchaser has expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, the purchaser will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. In every case, the purchaser will have to pay the costs of returning the goods, if the shipping address is outside of Germany.

(4) For bulky goods (such as large equipment), we will give the purchaser (at request) at least an estimation of the cost of returning the goods. The purchaser must send the goods back within 14 days of informing us that he wants to withdraw.

(5) But still, the purchaser shall send back the goods or hand them over to us (MIZU GmbH, Weidgang 8 – 14, D - 78247 Hilzingen, Telefon: +49 7731-90670, E-Mail: info@mizu.de). If otherwise aggreed, the consumer will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. The purchaser is only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. The purchaser has no right to withdraw in cases where urgent repairs and maintenance work are ordered.

6 Returns

For the returns, the return forms enclosed with the delivery should be used and filled out completely, with the customer number, item number etc., and enclosed with the shipment.

7 Complaints

Faulty, damaged or incorrectly delivered merchandise will be exchanged. To clarify the situation and the further coordination of the conversion process, we ask the purchaser kindly to contact us directly before the purchaser returns the goods. This is an appeal without legal obligation - without disadvantages in the infringement.

8 Warranty

(1) Unless otherwise agreed, Warranty claims shall be time-barred after 24 months of the passage of risk.

(2) The warranty period is reduced to one year when buying used products. For consumers, the shortening of the statutory warranty period to 1 year is only effective if this was effectively agreed before the conclusion of the purchase contract. Pre-contractual agreements with consumers are only effective if they are included in the purchase contract (e.g., as attachments signed by the consumer).

(3) Consumers are asked to report obvious defects in the goods in writing within two weeks of receipt. The omission of the advertisement has no influence on the statutory warranty claims of the buyer.

(4) Irrespective of this, the warranty is waived when buying used products between merchants. § 377 HGB applies to merchants only. Consumers have the choice of whether the supplementary performance should take the form of repairs or a replacement delivery.

(5) Goods, such as components, may only be used in accordance with the associated application list or expert opinion on vehicles intended for this purpose. The seller is entitled to refuse any warranty if the buyer (or his vicarious agents) has caused the defect in the purchased item himself through modifications, incorrect assembly, improper use or misuse.

(6) The supplementary performance owed by the seller as a matter of priority must always be carried out at his place of business or residence. The seller is entitled to refuse the type of supplementary performance chosen if it is only possible with disproportionate costs and the other type of supplementary performance does not result in significant disadvantages for the consumer or does not represent a significant inconvenience for the consumer. If the supplementary performance fails, the customer can, at his discretion, demand a reduction in payment (reduction) or cancellation of the contract (withdrawal) as well as compensation. In the case of only minor defects, the customer has no right of withdrawal.

(7) If the legal requirements for a permissible withdrawal from the purchase contract are met in the case of a vehicle sale (e. g. boats), the purchase price to be reimbursed by the seller is determined according to the gross purchase price less compensation for use and any (usage) damage caused by the buyer. The amount of the compensation to be deducted is determined either in agreement with the buyer or immediately by means of an expert report.

(8) If the customer chooses compensation, the limitations of liability set out below apply.

9 Liability

(1) In case of intent or gross negligence on our part or by our agents or assistants in performance we are liable according to the provisions of applicable law; the same applies in case of breach of fundamental contract obligations. To the extent the breach of contract is unintentionally our liability for damages shall be limited to the typically predictable damage.

(2) Our liability for culpable damage to life, body or health as well as our liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.

(3) If the damage compensation liability of the seller is excluded or limited, this also applies with regard to the personal liability for damages of employees, workers, employees, representatives and agents.

(4) The seller is not liable in particular for non-specific product-related information and tips that are offered free of charge, as well as for hyperlinks to third-party offers.

(5) Any liability not expressly provided for above shall be disclaimed.

(3) As long as the purchase price has not been completely paid, the purchaser shall immediately inform us in writing if the goods become subject to rights of third persons or other encumbrances.

(4) The purchaser may resell goods subject to the above retention of title only in the course of his regular business. For this case, the purchaser hereby assigns all claims arising out of such resale, whether the goods have been processed or not, to us. Notwithstanding our right to claim direct payment the purchaser shall be entitled to receive the payment on the assigned claims. To this end, we agree to not demand payment on the assigned claims to the extent the purchaser complies with all his obligations for payment and does not become subject to an application for insolvency or similar proceedings or to any stay of payments.

(5) Insofar as the above securities exceed the secured claim by more than 10%, we are obligated, upon our election, to release such securities upon the purchaser’s request.

(6) The purchaser shall be entitled to offset only insofar as the purchaser’s counterclaim is acknowledged, undisputed or assessed in a legally binding judgement. The purchaser is entitled to claim retainer rights only to the extent such rights are based on the same transaction.
