You must return or hand over the goods to us or to one of our branches without delay and in any case no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the end of the period of fourteen days.

4. 11.3.

§ 12 Warranty for purchases of goods

1. 12.1.

2. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, your warranty claims shall be governed by the statutory provisions of the law on sales (§§ 433 ff. BGB).

3. 12.2.

4. If you are a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB (German Civil Code), the limitation period for warranty claims for used goods is - in deviation from the statutory provisions - one year. This limitation does not apply to claims based on damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health or from the breach of an essential contractual obligation, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligation) as well as to claims based on other damages which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the user or his vicarious agents. The product illustrations may differ from the appearance of the delivered products.

5. 12.3.

6. If the goods are defective, we shall provide subsequent performance within a reasonable period of time, i.e. either replacement delivery or rectification of the defects. The place of performance for subsequent performance is our registered office. If the supplementary performance chosen by you is only possible at disproportionate expense, we shall be entitled to provide supplementary performance in the other form. The expenses required for the subsequent performance shall be borne by us. If a reasonable period of time for subsequent performance has elapsed without result, you shall have the right, at your option, to rescind the purchase contract or reduce the purchase price. If you decide to cancel the purchase contract, the services received by both parties must be returned and any benefits derived must be surrendered. If you are unable to return the goods received in whole or in part or only in a deteriorated condition, you may have to compensate us for the loss in value. However, the deterioration caused by the intended use shall not be taken into account. Claims for defects become statute-barred 2 years after the date of delivery of the goods.

7. 12.4.

8. The consumer's statutory rights under the warranty/liability for defects apply. Possible additional guarantees provided by the manufacturer improve the legal rights. In the event of a warranty claim, you can contact the manufacturer directly or the company Diagen Diamond with its entire branch network. In all other respects, the statutory provisions apply to the warranty.

   
   
   

§ 13 Limitations of liability

1. We shall be liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as in accordance with the Product Liability Act. We shall be liable for slight negligence in the event of damage resulting from injury to life, body and health of persons. In all other respects, the following limited liability shall apply: In the event of slight negligence, we shall only be liable in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which you may regularly rely (cardinal obligation). The liability for slight negligence is limited to the amount of the damages foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. This limitation of liability also applies in favour of our vicarious agents.
