Article 3 - Applicability
1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the entrepreneur and to every distance contract concluded between entrepreneur and consumer.
2. Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions shall be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, the entrepreneur shall, before the remote agreement is concluded, indicate in what way the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the entrepreneur's premises and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer as soon as possible upon request.
3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, notwithstanding the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated where the general terms and conditions can be inspected electronically and that they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge at the consumer's request.
4. In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general conditions, the second and third paragraphs shall apply mutatis mutandis and, in the event of conflicting conditions, the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision that is most favourable to him.
Article 4 - The offer
1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this shall be explicitly stated in the offer.
2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the offered products, services and/or digital content. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
3. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to accepting the offer.
Article 5 - The agreement
1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the agreement comes into effect at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and fulfils the conditions set therein.
2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the electronic transfer of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur shall observe appropriate security measures.
4. The entrepreneur may within legal frameworks - inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the remote agreement. If, based on this investigation, the entrepreneur has good grounds not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or request or to attach special conditions to the implementation, while stating reasons.
5. The entrepreneur will, at the latest at delivery of the product, service or digital content, send the consumer the following information, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible way on a durable data carrier:
a. the postal address of the entrepreneur to which the consumer can send his complaints in writing;
b. the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer can make use of the right of withdrawal, or a clear notification regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
c. the information on guarantees and existing after-sales services;
d. the price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content; where applicable, the costs of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery or performance of the distance contract;
e. the requirements for terminating the contract if the contract has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;
f. if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.
6. In case of a duration transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.
Article 6 - Right of withdrawal
You have the right to cancel your order up to 14 days after receipt without giving any reason. You have another 14 days to return your product after cancellation. You will then be credited for the full order amount including shipping costs. Only the return costs from your home to the shop are for your own account. These costs are approximately €5 per parcel, please consult your carrier's website for the exact rates. If you exercise your right of withdrawal, the product will be returned to the entrepreneur with all delivered accessories and - if reasonably possible - in its original state and packaging. To exercise this right, please contact us at info@umi-and-co.com. We will then refund the order amount due within 14 days of reporting your return provided the product has already been received back in good order.
IMPORTANT! You cannot return personalised products that you buy through this webshop and which are custom-made according to the specification you entered. The right of withdrawal therefore does not apply. This makes the sale final after successful payment. But you can always contact us should something not be to your liking via info@umi-and-co.com.
Article 7 - Obligations of the consumer during the reflection period
1. During the reflection period, the consumer shall handle the product and its packaging with care. He shall only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The basic principle here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a shop.
2. The consumer is only liable for depreciation of the product resulting from a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is allowed in paragraph 1.
3. The consumer is not liable for depreciation of the product if the trader did not provide him with all legally required information on the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the contract.
Article 8 - Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof
1. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he shall notify the trader within the withdrawal period by means of the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner.
2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer returns the product, or hands it over to (an authorised representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not required if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product himself. The consumer has observed the return period in any case if he returns the product before the reflection period has expired.
3. The consumer returns the product with all delivered accessories, if reasonably possible in the original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
4. The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.
5. The consumer shall bear the direct costs of returning the product. If the trader has not indicated that the consumer should bear these costs or if the trader indicates that the consumer should bear the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs of return shipment.
6. The consumer shall not bear any costs for the full or partial delivery of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium if:
a. he has not expressly consented, prior to delivery, to the performance of the contract beginning before the end of the withdrawal period
b. he has not acknowledged losing his right of withdrawal when giving his consent; or
c. the trader has failed to confirm this statement by the consumer.
7. If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, all additional contracts shall be dissolved by operation of law.
Article 9 - Obligations of the entrepreneur in case of withdrawal
1. If the trader enables the consumer to notify withdrawal electronically, he shall send an acknowledgement of receipt of this notification without delay.
2. The entrepreneur shall reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs, if the entire order is returned, charged by the entrepreneur for the returned product, without delay but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless the entrepreneur offers to pick up the product himself, he may wait with refunding until he has received the product or until the consumer proves that he has returned the product, whichever is earlier.
3. For reimbursement, the entrepreneur shall use the same means of payment that the consumer has used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund is free of charge for the consumer.
4. If the consumer has chosen a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to refund the additional costs for the more expensive method.
Article 10 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
The trader can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the trader clearly stated this when making the offer, or at least in good time before concluding the contract:
1. Products or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period
2. Contracts concluded during a public auction. A public auction means a method of sale where products, digital content and/or services are offered by the operator to consumers who attend or are given the opportunity to attend the auction in person, under the guidance of an auctioneer, and where the successful bidder is obliged to purchase the products, digital content and/or services
3. Service contracts, after full performance of the service, but only if:
- performance has begun with the consumer's express prior consent; and
- the consumer has declared that he loses his right of withdrawal once the trader has fully performed the contract;
4. Service contracts for the provision of accommodation, if the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance and other than for residential purposes, carriage of goods, car rental services and catering;
5. Contracts relating to leisure activities, if the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance thereof;
6. Products manufactured to the consumer's specifications, which are not prefabricated and which are manufactured on the basis of an individual choice or decision by the consumer, or which are clearly intended for a specific person;
7. Products that spoil quickly or have a limited shelf life;
8. Sealed products which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene and whose seal has been broken after delivery;
9. Products which by their nature are irrevocably mixed with other products after delivery;
10. Alcoholic beverages whose price was agreed at the conclusion of the agreement, but whose delivery can only take place after 30 days, and whose actual value depends on fluctuations in the market over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
11. Sealed audio, video recordings and computer software of which the seal has been broken after delivery;
12. Newspapers, magazines or periodicals, with the exception of subscriptions to them;
13. The delivery of digital content other than on a material carrier, but only if:
- the performance has started with the express prior consent of the consumer; and

Article 11 - The price
1. During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered shall not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
2. Contrary to the previous paragraph, the Entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market that are beyond the Entrepreneur's control, with variable prices. This link to fluctuations and the fact that any prices mentioned are target prices shall be mentioned in the offer.
3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.

If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
2. An additional guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, his supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can enforce against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfil his part of the agreement.
3. Extra warranty means any commitment by the entrepreneur, his supplier, importer or manufacturer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what he is legally obliged to do in case he has failed to fulfil his part of the agreement.
Article 13 - Delivery and execution
1. The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing product orders and when assessing requests for the provision of services.
2. The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the entrepreneur.
3. With due observance of the stipulations in article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the entrepreneur will execute accepted orders with convenient speed but at the latest within 30 days, unless another delivery period has been agreed.

4. After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will refund the amount the consumer has paid without delay.

Article 14 - Payment
1. Unless otherwise stipulated in the agreement or additional terms and conditions, the amounts owed by the consumer should be paid within 14 days after the start of the reflection period, or, in the absence of a reflection period, within 14 days after the conclusion of the agreement. In the case of an agreement to provide a service, this period commences on the day after the consumer receives the confirmation of the agreement.
2. When selling products to consumers, general terms and conditions may never require the consumer to pay more than 50% in advance.

2. Complaints about the execution of the agreement must be submitted to the entrepreneur fully and clearly described within 7 days after the consumer has discovered the defects.
3. Complaints submitted to the entrepreneur will be answered within a period of 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeably longer processing time, the entrepreneur will respond within the 14-day period with a notice of receipt and an indication of when the consumer can expect a more detailed answer.
4. If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises which is subject to the dispute settlement procedure.
5. In case of complaints, a consumer should first turn to the entrepreneur.
6. A complaint does not suspend the obligations of the entrepreneur, unless the entrepreneur indicates otherwise in writing.
