Revocation Notice
Right of Revocation
You are entitled to revoke your contractual statement in writing (e.g. postal letter, fax, e-mail) within 14 days without giving any reasons. Alternatively – if you have already received the contractual item – you may revoke your contractual statement by returning the contractual item to us. The grace period for revocations shall commence upon your receipt of this information in written form; however, not before the recipient’s receipt of the goods in question (in case of recurring deliveries of the same type of goods not before receiving the first partial delivery). The revocation period shall be met by timely sending of the withdrawal declaration or timely shipment of respective goods. Please send your withdrawal declaration to:
Equimag GmbH

Consequences of Revocation
In the event of effective withdrawal any mutually received benefits shall be refunded and possible benefits derived (e.g. interest) shall be returned. In case you are unable to return received benefits, be it whole or in part or only in a deteriorated state, you may be obliged to value replacement. In case of delivered goods this shall not apply in the event that the deterioration solely results from inspection of the goods as it would have been possible in a retail outlet. In other respects, an obligation to compensate for deterioration resulting from utilizing goods as intended can be avoided by not using the goods as if they were your property and by refraining from doing anything that possibly impairs their respective value. Items suitable for delivery by parcel are to be returned at our risk. In the event delivered goods comply with the goods ordered and the purchase price for goods returned does not exceed an amount of EUR 40.- (or, for higher purchase prices, you have not reciprocated any considerations or contractually agreed partial payments at the time of withdrawal), you shall bear any and all expenses arising due to the goods’ return. For any other circumstances, the expenses for the return of items shall be borne by us. Obligations to refund payments shall be met within 30 days. For you, the respective term shall commence upon sending of your withdrawal statement or dispatch of respective items; for us, the respective term shall commence upon the item’s receipt.
