24.1.2. which can spoil quickly or whose expiry date would be quickly exceeded (§ 312g (2) no. 2 BGB);

24.1.4. if they have been inseparably mixed with other goods after delivery due to their nature (§ 312g (2) no. 4 BGB).

 

24.2 For the part of the Order that does not fall under the above exclusions, you are entitled to a right of revocation insofar as you are a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB.

24.3.2.1 If you withdraw the contract with the Vendor, the Vendor must repay you all payments that they have received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without delay and at the latest within 14 (fourteen) days from the day on which we received the notification of your withdrawal of the contract. For this repayment, the Vendor will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged for this repayment.

 

24.3.2.2. The Vendor may refuse repayment until they have received the Goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the Goods, whichever is earlier.

 

24.3.2.3. You bear the direct costs of returning the Goods.
