In all cases, the special statutory provisions in the event of final delivery of the goods to a consumer remain unaffected (supplier recourse pursuant to §§ 478, 479 BGB).

Notification shall be deemed to be immediate if it is made within two weeks, whereby timely dispatch of the notification is sufficient to meet the deadline.

If the goods are returned or collected by a freight forwarder commissioned by us, the consumer is obliged to pack the consignment properly and safely, in particular to prevent damage. The goods must be packaged accordingly by the consumer safely and, in the case of transport, properly fastened to it with a pallet. An exception to this is generally not possible, as collection is carried out by a freight forwarder and safe transport must be ensured.
