4. Your right of cancellation

4.1 All consumers (all natural persons that enter into legal transactions that are not primarily designed to serve their commercial or self-employed activities, cf. Art. 13 of the German Civil Code) have the legal right to cancel placed orders.

INFORMATION ON YOUR RIGHT OF CANCELLATION You have the right to cancel the contract with us within 14 days without the need to provide reasons for so doing. The 14-day cancellation period commences on the date on which you or a third person appointed by you who is not the carrier takes possession of the items in question. In order to exercise your right of cancellation, you must contact us (Happy People GmbH, Rupert-Mayer-Str. 44, 81379 Munich, Germany, tel.: +49 (0)89 41615354, fax: +49 (0)89 41615356, email: info@happy-liquid.com) stating clearly (e.g. in the form of a letter, fax or email) that you wish to cancel the contract. You can also use the attached cancellation form for this purpose; please note that use of this is not compulsory. Compliance with the cancellation period will be assumed if your notification of the wish to cancel is dispatched prior to termination of the period.   The consequences of cancellation If you cancel your contract with us, we will reimburse all payments and delivery charges (excluding any additional delivery charges arising as a result of you instructing us to dispatch your order using a method other than the favorably-priced standard method offered by us) immediately or at the latest within 14 days of the date on which we received your notification of your wish to cancel. For the purposes of reimbursement, we will use the same method of payment employed for the original transaction unless otherwise agreed; we will deduct no charges in connection with reimbursement. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse to reimburse you until we are actually in receipt of the returned items or until such time as you can provide proof that you have dispatched the items back to us, whichever occurs at the earlier point in time. It is your responsibility to return or supply the items to us without delay or within 14 days of the date on which you notified us of your wish to cancel. Compliance with the corresponding deadline will be assumed if you dispatch the items within the 14-day period. You will be required to pay the costs of return dispatch of the items.

You will be required to compensate us for any depreciation in value of the items only if an analysis of the nature, properties and functioning of the items shows that this depreciation is attributable to inappropriate use of the items by you.

4.2 Your right of cancellation will expire prematurely in the case of contracts concerning sealed products that for reasons of health or hygiene are not returnable after the corresponding seal has been removed.

The information required from you will be your name, address, bank account number and bank sort code or credit card number (including validity dates), the invoice amount, the currency and the transaction number.

7. The right of offset and retention

7.1 You have the right to offset entitlements against payments owed to us only if your counterclaim has been legally confirmed or has not been contested by us.

7.2 You have a right of retention only if and insofar as your counterclaim is based on the same purchase contract.

8. Retention of title

8.1 Your order remains our property until full payment of the purchase price.

8.2 The following applies in addition to business customers as defined in Art. 14 of the German Civil Code:

– All orders shall remain our property until such time as all claims arising from the corresponding transaction have been settled.

– You do not have the right to pledge the items or use them as security until such time as ownership has been transferred to you.

– You have the right to resell items through the ordinary course of business. In this case, you must assign all entitlements to the amount receivable as a result of this transaction to us. We will accept assignment of these entitlements but you retain the right to collect the amount receivable. We reserve the right to collect amounts receivable ourselves if you fail to meet your payment obligations.

Compliance with the warranty period will be assumed if you notify us of any deficiencies within the 7-day period. This applies accordingly for hidden deficiencies that are only subsequently identified. If you fail to comply with these requirements with regard to examination and notification of deficiencies, your subsequent right to claim under warranty will be void.

– Where deficiencies are identified, we reserve the right to rectify the deficiency or supply replacements at our discretion. If we choose to rectify the deficiency, we will not be liable for additional costs arising in connection with the need to transfer the items to another place other than the place of performance assuming that this transfer is not appropriate to the intended use of these items.

– Our items are covered by warranty for 12 months after delivery.

10. Damage during transport

10.1 If consignments arrive with manifest damage as a result of transport, please notify the carrier immediately and contact us as soon as possible.

10.2 If you are a consumer as defined in Art. 13 of the German Civil Code, failure to notify damage or contact us will have no consequences with regard to your legal right to warranty cover. However, please note that by notifying us, you can help us assert our claims against the carrier.

11. Disclaimers

11.1 We can be held liable for the consequences of deliberate actions and gross negligence on our part. We can also be held liable for any deliberate violation on our part of obligations that must be met in order to enable proper execution of the contract and which places at threat the purpose of the contract and fulfilment of which you as a customer can regularly rely on. In the latter instance, we can be held liable only to the extent of the foreseeable losses typical for the contract in question. We cannot be held liable for the consequences of slight negligence on our part or failure to comply with obligations that are not cited above.

11.2 These disclaimers shall not apply in cases in which loss of life, physical injury or damage to health occurs. We remain liable under the provisions of German product liability legislation.

12. Concluding provisions

12.1 Any contracts concluded between us and you shall be solely subject to German law.
