After the order the Customer will receive an email from HÖGL, which confirms the receipt of the order by HÖGL and gives the details thereof (= confirmation of receipt). This confirmation of receipt does not constitute an acceptance of a contract by HÖGL. Through this confirmation the Customer should merely be informed that the order has been received by HÖGL and which content this has. A contract will only be concluded by sending of an electronic written order confirmation from HÖGL within a reasonable period of time. The right is reserved to input and transmission errors.

(6) A possible reimbursement of made payments shall principally be carried out on that means of payment, which the Customer used with his order.

§ 5 Delivery

(1) When an article is capable of delivery, it can be seen on the product detail page. There is a delivery status for each article below the price. Immediately deliverable articles will, depending on the time of the order receipt and the receipt of the order confirmation, be handed over to the delivery agent for delivery either on the same or on the next workday. It is pointed out that with orders on weekends and public holidays, the delivery can be carried out at the earliest on the following workday of the receipt of the order confirmation. Shipping durations will vary from the point of dispatch. Articles, which cannot be delivered immediately, will be noted and delivered at the availability date stated in the product detail view.

(2) Should delays in delivery occur, HÖGL will announce this to the consumer by email by stating the expected delivery date.

(3) HÖGL is entitled to partial deliveries to a reasonable extent. If partial deliveries are carried out HÖGL will, of course, bear the additional shipping costs.

§ 6 Warranty

(1) If the delivered goods are faulty HÖGL is entitled to improvement or to exchange. Price reduction or nullification can only be requested by the Customer if the improvement and the exchange are not possible, would be associated with a disproportionate amount of work for HÖGL or if HÖGL cannot satisfy the consumer’s request or cannot satisfy this within a reasonable deadline. The right to nullification shall only exist if it concerns a significant defect.

(2) In order to assert warranty claims the Customer has to contact the HÖGL customer service under the following email address: service@hoegl.com. Services within the scope of the complaints processing are principally carried out free of charge.

(3) The acceptance of the goods by HÖGL does not constitute recognition of warranty claims. Recognition of HÖGL shall require a separate inspection; the Customer will be informed of the results hereof within a reasonable period of time.

(4) If the Customer culpably asserts warranty claims without justification, HÖGL reserves the right to request damages from the Customer. The assertion of warranty claims is culpably unjustified if the Customer recognised or negligently failed to recognise that there is no defect to the delivered goods, but the cause for the fault to the goods lies, for example, in his own area of responsibilities.

§ 7 Liability for damage(s)

(1) HÖGL shall be liable insofar as it is guilty of wilful intent or gross negligence. For simple (slight) negligence HÖGL will only be liable with the breach of an obligation, the fulfilment of which renders the proper execution of the contract possible at all and the Customer may as a rule rely on the compliance with such obligations. Incidentally, liability for damage(s) of all kinds, no matter on which claim basis, including the liability for fault upon conclusion of the contract, is excluded.

(2) Insofar as HÖGL, pursuant to Paragraph 1, is liable for simple (slight) negligence, your liability is limited to the damage, the occurrence of which HÖGL typically had to expect according to the circumstances known upon conclusion of the contract.

(3) The aforementioned liability exclusions and restrictions shall not apply to damages which are to be compensated for according to the Product Liability Act, as well as for damages to the body and the health.

(4) The aforementioned liability exclusions and limitations shall also apply for the benefit of the employees, vicarious agents and other third parties, which HÖGL uses to fulfil the contract.

§ 8 Right of revocation

(1) The Customer has the right to revoke the contract within fourteen days without stating any reasons.

(2) The deadline for revocation will begin on the day, on which the Customer or a third party named by him, which does not operate as a carrier, obtains possession of the goods if the Customer has ordered several goods within the scope of a standard order, which are delivered separately, on the day, on which he or a third party named by him, which does not operate as a carrier, obtains possession of the last delivered good.

(3) In order to exercise the right of revocation the Customer must inform

E-Mail: service@hoegl.com

by means of a clear declaration (e.g. by means of a letter, fax or email) about his decision to revoke this contract. The Customer can for this purpose use the contact form available on the HÖGL website or the revocation sample form for consumers provided as an annex here. If the Customer uses his possibility for the revocation, HÖGL has to confirm the receipt of the revocation to the Customer by email. The mere return of the goods to HÖGL is not sufficient in order to effectively exercise the right of revocation.

(4) In order to adhere to the deadline for revocation, it is sufficient if the Customer has sent the notification regarding the exercising of the right of revocation before expiry of the deadline for revocation.

(5) The Customer has to return or hand over the goods without delay and in any case within fourteen days from the day, on which it has notified HÖGL about the revocation of this contract, to

in a packaging that is suitable for shipment. For the return within Latvia, a postage paid parcel sticker is enclosed with the deliveries of HÖGL. No costs will be incurred for the Customer for the return shipment when this parcel sticker is used. In this case, HÖGL will bear the costs for the return of the goods. However, the Customer has to bear the costs for the return of the goods, should he not have used the postage paid parcel sticker of HÖGL for the shipment.

If the Customer revokes this contract, HÖGL principally has to repay the Customer all payments, which HÖGL received from him. For this repayment HÖGL uses the same means of payment, which the Customer used with the original transaction, unless explicitly otherwise agreed with the Customer; in no way will fees be charged to the Customer owing to this repayment.

(6) HÖGL can refuse the repayment until HÖGL has received the goods back again.

(7) The Customer must only pay for a possible loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is a result of a scope that is not necessary for examination of the condition, properties and functionality of the goods.

§ 9 Data protection

The statutory regulations regarding the restriction of the choice of law shall therefore remain unaffected.

(3) The statutory regulations shall apply for the place of jurisdiction.

(4) HÖGL is not willing and not obligated to take part in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer mediation board.
