Cancellation Policy
Right of withdrawal
60487 Frankfurt am Main
Consequences of withdrawal
In the event of a valid withdrawal, the services received by both parties must be returned and any benefits derived (e.g., interest) must be surrendered. If you are unable to return or surrender the received service and benefits (e.g., benefits of use) in whole or in part, or only in a deteriorated condition, you must compensate us for the value insofar. You only have to pay compensation for the deterioration of the item if the deterioration is due to handling of the item that goes beyond the examination of its properties and functionality. "Examination of properties and functionality" means testing and trying out the respective goods, as is possible and customary in a retail store. Items that can be sent by parcel post are to be returned at our risk. You must bear the regular costs of the return if the delivered goods correspond to the ordered goods and if the price of the item to be returned does not exceed 40 euros, or if, at a higher price of the item at the time of withdrawal, you have not yet provided the consideration or a contractually agreed partial payment. Otherwise, the return is free of charge for you. Items that cannot be sent by parcel post will be picked up from you. Obligations to refund payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. The period begins for you with the dispatch of your declaration of withdrawal or the item, and for us with its receipt.
Note: According to § 312d (4) No. 3 BGB, there is no right of withdrawal for distance contracts for the delivery of newspapers, magazines, and illustrated publications, unless the consumer has submitted their contractual declaration by telephone.

9. Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are processed in truncated form, which means that direct personal references can be excluded. Insofar as the data collected about you have a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is thus immediately deleted.
We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. Through the statistics obtained, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
