§ 4 Return Policy

4.1 Right of Revocation

You may revoke your contractual statement within a period of two weeks without giving reasons by sending us written notice (e.g. letter, fax, mail) or, if you receive the goods before expiry of this period, by returning the goods to us. The revocation period begins after receipt of this return policy in writing, but not before the goods reach the recipient (in the case of repeated deliveries of similar goods not before the receipt of the first partial delivery), and also not before we have fulfilled our obligations to provide information pursuant to article 246 § 2 in conjunction with $ 1 paragraphs 1 and 2 EGBGB, as well as our duties pursuant to § 312e paragraph 1 clause 1 BGB in conjunction with article 246 § 3 EGBGB. To comply with this time limit it is sufficient to send the notice of revocation or returning the goods in time. The notice of revocation must be addressed to:

LTT-Versand GmbH
Manager: Frank Gottheil
Schersweide 10-12
D - 46395 Bocholt

Fax: +49(0)2871 / 234779 - 99
E-Mail: info@leuchtmittel-verkauf.de

4.2 Consequences of Revocation

In the event of a valid revocation, the services received by each party must be restituted and any benefits derived (e.g. interest received) must be returned.
If you are unable, in part or fully, to restitute the service or product received, or are only able to restitute it in a deteriorated condition, you must pay us compensation to the extent that this applies. In the case of the supply of goods, you do not have to pay any compensation in respect of deterioration, if the deterioration has arisen from accurately checking the goods, as would also have been done in a retail shop. By the way, you can avoid the obligation for paying compensation by not using the goods like an owner and refraining from doing anything that could compromise the goods value.

Items which can be sent by parcel post are to be returned at our risk. You must bear the costs of returning the goods if the goods supplied correspond to those ordered, and if the price of the item to be returned does not exceed 40,- euros, or, if it costs more, if at the time of revocation you have not provided consideration or a contractually agreed partial payment. Otherwise, you do not pay anything to send the goods back. Items which cannot be sent by parcel post will be collected from you. Obligations to reimburse payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. For the customer, this 30 day period starts with the dispatch of the notice of revocation. For us, this 30 day period starts with the receipt of the notice of revocation or the goods.

LTT-Versand GmbH

§ 5 Costs for Reshipment

When you return goods, the regular costs for reshipment will not be reimbursed, if the goods were correctly supplied and if the price of the returned goods is below the amount of 40,- euros. If the price of the goods exceeds 40,- euros and the customer has not yet performed the service in return or made any contractually agreed partial payment, the customer will bear the costs for reshipment, too. Otherwise the return of goods is free of charge for the customer.

§ 6 Delivery

6.1 LTT delivers from stock to the address stated by the customer, unless both parties agreed something other.

6.2 Please find the delivery time of each product in the respective product description.

§ 8 Offsetting, Retention

The right to set off a claim is only given when your counterclaim has been legally proved or is uncontested or has been acknowledged by us in written form. You are only entitled to a right of retention, if your claims result from the same contract.

§ 9 Reservation of property rights

We reserve all rights of ownership of the delivered goods until receipt of all payments arising from the business relationship with the customer.

§ 10 Liability for Defects

10.1 Insofar as a defect in the delivered goods is established, the statutory provisions shall be valid. Assignment of those claims is excluded.

10.2 Apart from the following, all further customer claims are excluded - irrespective of legal basis. LTT shall not be liable for damages arising at the delivered item itself; especially LTT shall not be liable for any loss of profit or any other financial losses on the part of the customer. Insofar as the contractual liability on the part of LTT is excluded or limited, then such exclusion or limitation shall also apply with respect to the personal liability for compensation for damages of our employees, representatives and servants.

10.3 We shall be liable in accordance to statutory provisions insofar as the customer asserts claims for compensation for damages which are based upon malice aforethought or gross negligence on our part or physical injury. In addition the limitation of liability shall not be valid if the customer asserts claims regulated by law.

10.4 Insofar as we are not accused of willful contractual infringement, then the liability for compensation for damages shall be limited to foreseeable damages which typically occur.

10.5 If supplementary performance in form of replacement is carried out, it is obligatory to the customer to send back the (faulty) first delivered goods within 30 days to LTT. Delivery costs are on account of LTT. The reshipment of the faulty goods is subject to statutory provisions. LTT reserves the right to assert claims for compensation corresponding to the statutory requirements.

10.6 The limitation period is two years and starts with the handover of the goods to the customer.

§ 11 Collection, Processing and Use of personal data

11.1 Please find information about data kind, amount of data, location and purpose of collection and processing of your personal data by LTT in order for being able to carry out your order in our privacy statement.

§ 12 Final Provisions

12.2 Place of fulfillment and legal domicile for business persons, corporate bodies under public law or special funds regulated by public law, for all claims and legal disputes arising from the contractual relationship is Bocholt. In the event that the customer has no court of jurisdiction in Germany, the same right shall apply.

12.3 Any invalidity within the contract between LTT and the customer including our general terms of business shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
