Withdrawal information:
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen (14) days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period is fourteen (14) days starting from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, takes possession of the goods.To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us ([Your Company Name], [Your Address], e‑mail: [Your E‑mail address]) by means of a clear declaration (e.g., a mailed letter, a fax or an e‑mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You may use the attached model withdrawal form, although its use is not mandatory.
Sending the declaration before the withdrawal period expires is sufficient to meet the deadline.
-
Effects of withdrawal:
-
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall refund all payments we have received from you, including the delivery costs (except for additional costs resulting from your choice of a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any case no later than fourteen (14) days after the day on which we received your withdrawal notice.
-
The refund shall be made using the same payment method you used for the original transaction, unless we have expressly agreed otherwise; in no case will any fees be charged to you for the refund.
-
We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods back or you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever occurs first.
-
You must return the goods to us without undue delay and in any case no later than fourteen (14) days after notifying us of your withdrawal. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the 14‑day period expires.
-
You bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
-
You are liable for a reduction in value of the goods only if that reduction is due to handling that exceeds what is necessary to inspect the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods.

-
Model withdrawal form: (Insert the statutory model withdrawal form as required by the Austrian Consumer Protection Act – FAGG.)

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal: The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the delivery of goods that are made to the Customer’s specification or that are clearly tailored to personal needs.

- Warranty is governed by the statutory provisions, in particular the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (KSchG).
- For consumers, the warranty period for goods is two (2) years from delivery.

§ 10 Liability
We are liable for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents. In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for breach of a fundamental contractual obligation (cardinal duty). Liability for slight negligence is limited to the foreseeable, typical contractual damage that could have been anticipated at the time the contract was concluded. Liability for personal injury and health damage remains unaffected.
§ 11 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
- Austrian law applies, excluding the conflict‑of‑law rules of international private law (IPR) and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

§ 12 Final Provisions
Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In place of an invalid provision, a regulation shall apply that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
