Right of Withdrawal and Right of Return
The legal right of withdrawal of the consumer is replaced in terms of § 356 BGB by a limited right of return.

Return Policy
Right of return
You may return received goods without giving any reason within 14 days by returning the shipment. The return period shall commence upon receipt of this policy in writing (e.g. in form of a letter, fax, email), however not before receipt of the goods by the recipient (in the event of recurring delivery of similar good not before the first instalment thereof) and not prior to us fulfilling our information obligation in terms of article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 section 1 and 2 EGBGB as well as our duties in terms of § 312e section 1 sentence 1 BGB in conjunction with article 246 § 3 EGBGB. Only in cases of goods that can not be shipped (e.g. in cases of bulky goods) you may exercise your right of return through a written request. To comply with the return period, timely dispatch of the goods or of the request of return is sufficient. In any case returning the goods shall take place at our expense and at our risk. The return shipment or the request of return has to be made to:

Georg Königbauer
-Uhren fürs Leben-
Büro: Mühlstrasse 22
82418 Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany

Consequences of return
In case of a legitimate return, any payments, goods, or services provided by either side are to be returned and compensation made for any benefits derived (e.g. benefits of use). In case of deterioration of the goods, we may demand compensation. This does not apply if the deterioration of the goods is attributable only to the checking of the goods – for instance, as would be the case in a conventional shop. Have the goods been damaged through conventional usage, you do not have to pay compensation. You must satisfy obligations to reimburse payments within 30 days. This period shall commence for you upon dispatch of the goods or the request of return, and for us upon receipt.
End of Return Policy

§8
Terms of Warranty and Liability
Despite extensive quality control, it is not possible to completely rule out the possibility of defects occurring in some of our products. In this case the statutory warranty provisions shall apply (unless stated otherwise in the following sections): The warranty period is 1 year for used goods, otherwise 2 years, and starts with the handover of the goods. Initially your warranty claims shall be limited to curing. Insofar as the legal requirements are fulfilled, you may withdraw from the contract according to §§ 440, 323 and 326 section 5 BGB or reduce the purchase price according to § 441 BGB and demand compensation according to §§ 440, 280, 281, 283 and 311a BGB or demand replacement for futile expenses according to § 284 BGB.
Should delivered goods display obvious material or manufacturing defects, also including transport damages, please immediately inform both us and the employee of the transport company in charge of the delivery, of those defects. Failing to file such a claim however has no consequences to your legal rights.
Provided that we have offered you a seller’s warranty, the details thereof will be stated in the warranty conditions that are included with the delivered item. Such warranty claims are valid irrespective of your legal rights.
In case of a rightful claim or defect complaint we shall reimburse any shipping costs incurred by you once we have carried out a goodwill check. In the event that your claim turns out to be unjustified, you are obliged to carry the costs for an insured shipping.

§9
Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
This contract is exclusively subject to German law (to the exclusion of possible references to other legal systems and the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods – CISG).
With respect to contracts with traders, public bodies or publicly owned corporations as well as with persons, who have no general place of jurisdiction in the European Economic Area, the place of jurisdiction and the place of fulfilment is our main office in Murnau.

§10
Packaging Ordinance
In accordance with the regulations of the German Packaging Ordinance, we are obliged to accept returned packaging used for our products which does not bear a symbol of one of the general disposal systems (like e.g. the ‘Green Point’ of the Duales System Deutschland AG) and to ensure its reuse or proper disposal. Please contact us in order to clarify all the details for the return of such products. We will give you the name of a communal collection point or waste disposal company near you which will accept the packaging free of charge. If this is not possible you may send the packaging to us (Georg Königbauer, Mühlstrasse 22, 82418 Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany). We will then dispose of the packing in accordance with the regulations of the Packaging Ordinance.

§11
Information on the Battery Ordinance
The delivery of many devices include batteries which for example may be used for quartz watches. As batteries and rechargeable batteries contain toxic heavy metals it is strictly prohibited to dispose of them as part of the normal household waste. In connection with the sale of such batteries or rechargeable batteries we are committed as a dealer under the battery ordinance to inform our customers about the following rules and obligations: Please dispose of your old batteries as prescribed by Law (the disposal as part of the normal household waste is strictly prohibited), for example at a communal collection point or free of charge at a local retailer. After they have been used batteries from our products may be returned to us at the address stated below or sent back to us by mail with sufficient postage: Georg Königbauer, Mühlstrasse 22, 82418 Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany. Batteries, which contain harmful substances, are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste bin. Under the waste bin symbol the chemical description of the harmful substance is displayed, in the example below “Cd” for Cadmium, “Hg” for mercury and “Pb” for lead. This information is also contained in shipping documents of the consignment or in the manufacturer’s instruction manual. Please contact the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety in Germany for more information on the battery ordinance. It is also possible to download the ordinance over the web.
