CANCELLATION AND RETURNS POLICY

6.1 All goods and services are sold in accordance with The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000 No.2334). This regulation essentially ensures that the consumer is given clear information about the goods and services the supplier is offering, is provided with an order confirmation via email and has a cancellation period of 30 days from the day after the date of delivery - during which time the consumer may cancel the contract by notifying the supplier of their request to cancel either in writing or by email.

6.2 If you wish to cancel your order during the cancellation period set out in clause 6.1, please notify us in writing by by email. A telephone call is not sufficient unless both you and Music Store agree otherwise.

6.4 Goods should be returned in the original packaging, are complete and in 'as new' condition (for example, if the packaging has been opened to examine the product/s you must have done so without damaging the product/s in any way).

6.5 You have a duty to take reasonable care of the products while in your possession and during the cancellation period to maintain them in the condition in which they were supplied by us.

6.6.4 any goods that have been registered will be considered as personalised and non-returnable. If you are able to supply written evidence from the manufacturer, or their website, that the product has been de-registered, or you have not registered the product, then we will accept the return. We retain the right to reject the return of registered equipment within 6 months and you will be responsible for repaying the full amount.

6.7 If a fault should occur with your product outside the cancellation period and within the 12 month manufacturers' warranty period, you may wish to take your product to any manufacturer’s authorised repair centre (with a copy of your online receipt from us) or you may wish to return the product/s to our returns department, with a copy of your online receipt and a full written description of the fault. Our returns department can send your faulty product/s to the manufacturer or authorised service centre on your behalf.

General terms and conditions MUSIC STORE professional GmbH

 

§ 1 General

(1) Our general terms and conditions apply for our customers exclusively and regardless of their way of ordering (be it by phone, fax, email, internet or store purchase). They are subsequently called „AGB“.

(2) Pursuant to our AGB, customers are consumers as well as entrepreneurs. A consumer is a natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that mainly does not involve action within the framework of a commercial or other independent professional activity, § 13 BGBG / German Civil Code. An entrepreneur means a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal personality who or which, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in exercise of his or its trade, business or profession, § 14 BGB (German Civil Code).

(3) Contrary conditions deviating from our AGB will not be acknowledged unless we have expressly and in writing given our consent in regards to their validity. Our AGB also apply when we do deliver implicitly, although being informed of a contrary and deviating condition.

§ 2 Offer and conclusion of contract

(1) The offering of our products in the Online Store’s catalogue as well as in newsletters, catalogues and other ads are non-binding and subject to change without notice. The display of our products in these media does not represent a legally binding offer, but is only an invitation for the customer to make an offer (invitatio ad offerendum).

(2) In case of an order in the online-shop, the customer makes a binding offer once he has clicked on the button “order now” for all items in the shopping cart.
Before delivery, we enable the customer to review and, if necessary, correct the order regarding its correctness and the data of value and quantity. After sending the order, the customer receives an order confirmation (= confirmation of order reception) which is not to be considered our accepting of the contract.

(3) Auction

If an item is offered in our Online Store within the auction categories, in our eBay shop or on the general eBay-websites (eBay-user name “musicstorekoeln“), the activation represents the legally binding offer to conclude a contract. 
The customer accepts this offer via bidding. Through bidding and clicking on the button „Place bid“, the customer states a binding purchase offer in regard to the auctioned goods. The bid expires when a third party makes a higher bid during the time of the active auction. With the end of that particular auction’s duration, a contract is concluded with the highest bidder at the end. The purchase price is determined by the highest bid. 
If in an online auction, an item is marked with the function „Buy It Now“, a contract is concluded with the customer to that fixed price, regardless of the end of the auction period and without the auctioning process, when the customer choses this option through clicking on the button „Buy It Now“ and furthermore confirms the aforementioned. After contract conclusion, we send an order confirmation and further order data to the customer. 
It is mandatory for the customer to give accurate data and information (such as name, address, email address, bank data etc.) which is needed for the auction- and purchase processing.

(4) We save the contract text and send the customer the order data as well as the general terms and conditions and the declaration of revocation via email. The customer can, if he is registered, access and view the customer log-in area.

(5) Should the item not be available although a corresponding transaction has been made, we reserve the right to not fulfill the contract. In such a case, the customer is notified immediately. Potential considerations will be credited to the customer and, if desired, reimbursed. Further customer claims are excluded.

§ 3 Delivery conditions

(1)  Delivery within Germany costs 3,90 Euros per order. Delivery within Germany will be free of shipping costs starting from a purchase order value of € 29 Euros. Delivery outside of Germany occurs pursuant to the current schedule of delivery charges.

(2) Deliveries to Switzerland as well as other Non-European countries, additional fees and customs duties arise.

(3) In case of urgent deliveries, we offer express delivery to the customer. The arising extra costs will be charged to the customer.

(4) Should a shipping of the item be necessary by means of a special forwarding company due to the total volume or total weight, the delivery occurs free curb. Additional agreements in regards to further shipping performances (transport into the apartment/ house) will have to be made by the customer with the forwarding agency. Additional costs are to be paid by the customer.

(5) If the customer is a business, delivery shall be at the customer's risk. This also applies to partial deliveries. If the customer is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the risk of accidental loss and deterioration of the sold goods only passes to the customer upon the transfer of the goods to the customer. The transfer is considered to have occurred when the customer is in default of acceptance.

(6) We reserve the right of partial deliveries in case of non-available items to a reasonable degree for the customer.

(7) As far as a cooperation of the customer is necessary, delivery time does not start before the customer has not met that obligation.

(8) Obstacles beyond the freight forwarder's control relieve him, for their duration, from the duties that are affected by these obstacles. Obstacles can be strikes and lockouts, force majeure, riots, war or terroristic acts, administrative measures as well as other unforeseeable, unavoidable and major events. These events can also be deemed unforeseeable and unavoidable (such as, f. e., delay in delivery by subcontracting companies, lack of raw material or energy, considerable operational disturbances due to, f.e., the complete or partial destruction of the business or the breakdown of an indispensable manufacturing plant), when they would make the delivery unreasonably hard or temporarily impossible. 
In case of an exempted obligation to perform, every contractual party is obliged to immediately notify the other party and to reduce the repercussions on the other party as much as possible. 
If the performance is permanently impossible, the customer’s statutory rights remain unaffected.

(9) If in case of delivery the acceptance is declined by the customer, if he has stated an inaccurate delivery address or if the goods cannot be delivered due to other reasons that are the customer’s risk, the customer is obliged to bear all of the freight costs and fees.

(10) Immediately after delivery, the customer or his representative are to examine the goods in regards to its completeness and transport damages. Ascertained transport damages are to be reported immediately. The customer has to have damaged packaging conformed in written form by the transport company when delivery occurs.

§ 4 Prices and payment procedure

(1) Price modifications for consumers are admissible if the time span between the conclusion of the contract and the agreed date of delivery of the goods is longer than 4 months. Should the wages, cost of materials or other cost factors change thereafter up to completion of delivery, we are entitled to adjust the price appropriately in accordance with the changes in cost. Customer may withdraw from the agreement only if the aforesaid price increases more than moderately and exceeds the increase in the general cost of living.
If the customer is a corporate customer, the agreed price applies. In the event that the price has risen by the time of performance as a result of a changed market price or as a result of remunerations owed to third parties, which may have been brought into the performance process, having risen in the meantime, the higher price shall pertain. If the increased price differs from the agreed price by 20% or more, the customer shall have the right to rescind the agreement. This right must be asserted by the customer immediately after the notification of the increase in price.

(2) Full payment is to be made within 10 days after having received the goods without discount, if not otherwise agreed. The legal rules concerning the consequences of late payment apply, if not otherwise agreed.
After an extension period of two weeks, we shall be entitled to reject further fulfillment and demand 25% of the purchase price as a flat rate compensation if the customer is in default and/ or the customer refuses the ordered goods and/ or declares the cancellation of contract. We explicitly reserve the right to assert higher claims. We expressly state that the customer has the right to prove that no, or only limited, loss or damage has been incurred.

(3) By a cash on delivery, you pay directly with the delivery by the parcel service. Payments with credit cards are being charged to your account with the dispatch of the goods. 
In case of payment through an internal financing, the first down payment will be made through cash on delivery. The further installments will be paid by regular deductions from your giro account. 
In case of payment by Paypal, please log into your Paypal-account. Afterwards you are free to pay via debit entry, credit card, online wire transfer (through giropay) oder deduction from your Paypal account. To pay with your credit card or deduction, you will need to enable these functions in your Paypal account.

§ 5 Retention of title

(1) In the case of contracts with consumers we retain the ownership of the goods up until the complete payment of the agreed compensation.

(2) Regarding contracts with business clients, we reserve the right of ownership of the goods until after the settlement of all claims on the client, even if the actual goods have been paid already.

(3) Until such time as the property ownership has been transferred, the customer has to inform us immediately in writing if the delivered goods are impounded, or exposed to other interventions of third parties. Unless third parties are incapable of reimbursing our judicial and extrajudicial costs for an action as per § 771 ZPO, the customer shall be liable for any expenses defrayed by our company.

(4) In the event that a corporate customer intends to resell/ rent out the separate property, he shall transfer the claims resulting from any such business against his customers to us as security already at this point in time until our claims have been settled. If the conditional commodities are further processed, altered or brought into connection with other goods, we immediately acquire ownership of said manufactured item, that will serve as goods that are subject to reservation.

(5) If the total value of the securities exceeds our claims on the purchaser from our current business relationship by more than 20%, when so requested, we are under obligation to release securities to which the purchaser is entitled at our discretion.

§ 6 Extended right of return

(1) In addition to the legally required 14-days-right of withdrawal concerning distance selling contracts, we offer every consumer pursuant to § 13 BGB an additional 16-days-returning rights:

To comply with the notice period, timely dispatch of the merchandise or of the return demand is sufficient.

Customers, that have made In-store-purchases and who therefore and by law do not have a right to withdraw or return the goods, may nevertheless return the delivered goods within 30 days in the store for issuance of a credit note. Back transmission and transport costs will not be refunded.

For those additional rights of return (30-days-money-back-guarantee/ 30-days-return-guarantee), the following conditions apply:



a) In case of Distant Selling businesses, we charge a flat return fee of €2.95 per return within Germany for transport and insurance. The customer can request a „DHL-Paketmarke“ for the return shipment via DHL. If the weight of the return exceeds 31.5 kg, a (chargeable) collection by UPS or, if applicable, a forwarding agent can be arranged after consultation with us. For returns from abroad, different fees apply depending on the country. Please contact our customer service first.

b) At present exempt from that rule are all items that are subject to wear and tear, such as, f.e., pickups, pipes, illuminants, sticks, strings, skins, cables, unsealed or opened software that has been in original package, digital contents, keys and books, all products of the company Apple, customized computers (for and/ or by the customer), customized cables and yard goods, other special designs and goods, goods that have been ordered especially for the customer and is not on-stock-commodity, and all products that cannot be resold due to hygienic reasons, such as, f.e., InEar-systems, headphones, microphones for vocal recordings, harps, pop and wind screens, wind instruments, mouth pieces, etc. Also excluded are all products that have a software in their scope of delivery.

MUSIC STORE professional GmbH reserves the right to retain a compensatory (deducted purchase price) in case of goods that are obviously impaired through use, alternatively to refuse returning the goods to the customer.

e) The statutory right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days in case of postally ordered goods remains unaffected. The conditions as mentioned in the section „Extended right of return“ do not apply for the first 14 days (statutory revokement right in case of distant selling business) of the 30-days-money-back-guarantee, but only in the subsequent 16 days.

(2) Excluded from the aforementioned rights of return are all financed transactions, be it that the financing has occurred through our offered internal short term financing or the regular financing by a bank.
