5. The right of the customer to offset counter-claims shall only exist if these counter-claims are uncontested or have been ascertained to be legally binding. You can only assert the right of retention if your counter-claim is based on the same contract relation.

1. We ship within the EU, Norway and Switzerland. The billing and delivery address must be in the same country to enable us to process your order.

2. You will be informed of the binding period within which we will dispatch the goods in the event of the acceptance of your order (delivery time) during the course of the ordering process. The delivery time begins on the working day following receipt of your order.

1. The delivered goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.

2. You must handle the goods with care until transfer of ownership has taken place.

4. We reserve the right to reclaim bonus products granted without legal obligation in case preconditions for granting such bonus product should not or no longer be fulfilled.

Precondition for granting a bonus product is that the purchase contract continues to exist in the amount of the minimum order value. If you return all or part of the goods, for example by exercising your right of cancellation, and consequently fall below the minimum order value, then you will, also retrospectively, no longer be granted a bonus product for that purchase. In such case please send the bonus product together with the return of goods back to us. Should you however wish to purchase the bonus product instead, please contact our Customer Service Department directly. 

6. LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS

The valid legal stipulations relating to the liability for defects apply.

7. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

Cancellation Policy: You have the right to cancel this contract within 30 days without giving any reason. The statutory revocation/return period is 14 days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has/have taken possession of the last goods.

Beyond the legal withdrawal period, SABOTEUR gives you the option to return the goods up to 30 days after receipt and thus to withdraw from the purchase contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify us by means of a clear declaration about your decision to revoke this contract., e.g. letter sent by post, fax or e-mail to: 

SABOTEUR

Thomas Sabo GmbH & Co. KG

Silberstraße 1

91207 Lauf

E-Mail: service@saboteur.world

For this purpose, you may use the enclosed sample revocation form, which, however, is not mandatory.

To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

Excluded from the revocation are goods made to customer specifications.

All jewelry made to customer specifications are intended for final sale and were produced according to the instructions of the customer. SABOTEUR shall not be liable for any errors that are based in an instruction or specification of the customer.

Exceptions for return 

Some products cannot be returned. These include opened consumable items (e.g.: jewelry care bath or perfume), piercing jewelry items that show an opened or even damaged seal on the hygienic packaging, as well as items made specifically for you. In addition, incomplete or damaged items are also non-refundable.

EFFECTS OF CANCELLATION

If you cancel this contract, we will return all payments received from you, including the shipping costs (with the exception of additional costs arising as a result of you choosing a different form of shipping to the standard, less expensive shipping offered by us), immediately and no later than fourteen days from the day on which we receive notification of your cancellation of this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment as used by you during the original transaction, unless otherwise explicitly agreed with you; under no circumstances will you be charged fees for this repayment. We can refuse repayment until we have received the goods or until you have provided evidence that you have returned the goods, depending on which event is earlier.

You must send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notified us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is met if you return the goods prior to the end of the fourteen-day deadline. The direct costs for returning the goods are borne by you. You must only pay for any potential loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is the result of unnecessary handling of the goods caused by checking the composition, properties and function of the goods.

8. APPLICABLE LAW

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, with the exception of UN purchasing law, which expressively shall not apply. This choice of law applies only insofar as the protection provided is not withdrawn by compulsory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer habitually resides.

9. INFORMATION ON ONLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
