Our terms and conditions:
You can find important information on purchases at ABOUT YOU SE & Co. KG here.
1. Conclusion of the contract
The presentation of goods in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer but a non-binding online catalog instead. By clicking the button “order with obligation to pay”, you submit a binding order regarding the goods in the shopping cart. The confirmation of the order’s receipt is issued immediately upon sending the order and does not constitute acceptance of the contract. We may accept your order by sending an order confirmation via email or by shipping the goods within two days, at which point the contract is formed between us.
2. Instructions on withdrawal
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (ABOUT YOU SE & Co. KG, Domstraße 10, 20095 Hamburg, Germany, email: [email protected]) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or to our logistics service provider, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
We will bear the cost of returning the goods.
You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

3. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal:
The right of withdrawal is excluded for contracts on the supply of goods (i) which are made to the consumer’s specifications or are clearly personalized or (ii) which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly or (iii) which are sealed on delivery and are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, provided they were unsealed after delivery.
4. Voluntary right of return until up to 100 days upon receipt of goods:
Beside the statutory right of withdrawal mentioned above, we grant you a voluntary return guarantee for the period of 100 days upon receipt of goods. You may also cancel the contract after the 14-day withdrawal period has expired by returning the goods to us within 100 days upon receipt (period starts on the day after the goods have been received) as long as the goods are in original packaging and complete and as long as they have not been used or damaged and as long as they do not constitute goods made to the consumer’s specification or that are clearly personalized. Dispatching the goods before expiry of the 100 day period will be sufficient to avail of this voluntary return guarantee. Goods must be shipped back to the address indicated on the return label. The voluntary return guarantee contractually agreed upon does not affect your statutory rights and claims. In particular, your statutory right of withdrawal and your other statutory warranty rights remain available to you.
