Consumers are persons in the sense of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), i.e. natural persons who conclude the respective legal transaction for a purpose that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor to their independent professional activity. In other cases, the customers are entrepreneurs pursuant to § 14 BGB.

1.3 German law shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

 
2 Offer and conclusion of contract

2.1 Your order and its dispatch constitutes an offer to MF to conclude a purchase contract.

2.2 Upon receipt of your order, MF will confirm receipt of your order by e-mail. This order confirmation does not constitute an acceptance of the offer to enter into a contract of sale by MF, but only confirms the receipt of the order.

2.3 The contract of sale between you and MF will not be formed until the goods have been made available for dispatch by MF and a second notification has been sent to you by email (Dispatch Confirmation).

4. cancellation policy

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The revocation period is 14 days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has or has taken possession of the last goods.

You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
To comply with the revocation obligation, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of revocation before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of cancellation:

If you withdraw from the contract, we must refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of 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 fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this repayment, we 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. We may refuse repayment until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.

You must return or hand over the goods to us without delay and in any case no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days. You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to the handling of the goods which is not necessary for the inspection of the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.
