However, exceptions apply to the products which have been produced according to customer specifications or which have been tailored to a customer's specific requirements.

(ii)The period begins upon receipt by the vendor of the customer's written instructions to cancel the order (in the case of a single order being delivered in a number of separate parts, the period does not begin until receipt of the first part of the delivery) and not before vendor have met their information responsibilities and other legal obligations a.

(b) Consequences of withdrawal:

(i) To conclude a successful withdrawal, any products or funds which have changed hands between the two parties in the course of the transaction must be returned, and any benefits gained (e.g. interest) are to be handed over. Should the customer be unable to return the products, or be able to return only part of them, or return them in a damaged condition, the customer will be obliged to compensate the vendor for the full replacement value of the products if the customer used the purchased item contrary to the good faith, or personal profit in an incompatible way and will not affect the validity and effectiveness of the right to revoke compromised. No compensation will be demanded for products that have been used for the purpose for which they are intended.

(ii) The cost of return shipment must be charged by the customer. The vendor cannot accept the return shipment in case the package is unstamped or insufficiently stamped.

The vendor must start processing the customer’s return within 7 business days after receiving the product. The vendor must meet obligations to refund payments within 30 days of the declaration of withdrawal being sent or within 30 days after the products being returned. The vendor has sole discretion in determining whether the products are in original condition when returned to BBJ. The vendor shall not be responsible or liable if any products the customer wishes to return are lost, misdirected, or delivered late; therefore the customer has to bear the risks of the shipping chosen.

(iii) The right of return does not apply to the following products :

Products that have been produced to customer specifications or tailored to specific requirements are not suitable for sending back.

9. Returns

(a) If a customer is a physical person, that is placing a private order with without intentions allocable to a commercial or self-employed business purpose, then he/she is a consumer and therefore entitled to the general right of revocation and return as specified below.

In exercising the right of withdrawal in accordance with Section 8 of these terms and conditions, the customer is obligated to return the products in their original condition and packaging.

(b)The withdrawal can be processed only if the products are not engraved and do not include any customization and/or specifications.

10. Warranty

(a) Products supplied may vary slightly from the products as depicted on the internet as far as is reasonable and the customer is accepted to check the information of the product accurately in advance before confirming the order (see Section 2 / an of the Terms and Conditions).

(b) The vendor can initially choose between demanding a warranty through subsequent fulfillment, repair, or replacement delivery. The vendor is entitled to refuse the chosen type of fulfillment if it is only achievable at an unreasonable cost and if the other type of fulfillment does not bring considerable disadvantages to the customer.

(c) If the subsequent performance fails, the customer may generally demand either a reduction in the remuneration or cancellation of the agreement (withdrawal). In the case of minor defects, the customer shall have no right of rescission-considering their mutual interests. In all cases of claims for damages against the contract partner, instead of the performance of the delivery or service, the customer shall demand compensation for wasted expenditures which are entered into by the customer in reliance on receipt and which the customer is allowed to make. If the customer claims for compensation of damages, the limitation of liability in Section 11/a of these terms and conditions applies.

(d) The Customer's rights in the event of defects require that the customer has properly met his examination and notification obligations. Punctual dispatch of the defective products, or prompt notification that the products are defective, will be accepted as a valid claim as long as this is done prior to the deadline. The customer is responsible for making all the necessary notifications and, in particular, for noting details of the defects and the date on which they occurred, and for reporting the damage in a timely manner.

(e) A lifetime manufacturer’s warranty applies after delivery of all products specifically manufactured by BBJ. Other items not manufactured by BBJ come with 12 months manufacturer’s warranty. This does not apply if the customer is intentionally or grossly negligent in taking due care of the products. The above liability restrictions do not apply in the case of losses arising from fatality, physical injury, or damage to health. Lifetime manufacturer’s warranty is not transferable beyond the original purchaser.

(f) The vendor does not make any legally binding guarantees with the customer unless otherwise expressly agreed. The manufacturer`s guarantees remain unaffected.
