Cancellation policy

Consumers have a fourteen-day right of withdrawal.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. Table tops that are screwed to the table frame are explicitly excluded from this right of withdrawal.

The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, have taken possession of the last partial shipment or the last item.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us (boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH, Industriestraße 45, 33397 Rietberg, Deutschland, info@boho-moebel.de, Phone: +49 5244 9789030) of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You can use the attached sample withdrawal form, but this is not mandatory.

To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for you to send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw 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 any fees for this repayment. We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any case within fourteen days at the latest from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the period of fourteen days has expired. We shall bear the costs of returning the goods.

Special notes

If you finance this contract with a loan and later revoke it, you are no longer bound by the loan agreement if both contracts form a single economic unit. This is to be assumed in particular if we are also your lender or if your lender makes use of our cooperation with regard to the financing. If we have already received the loan when the revocation takes effect, your lender will assume our rights and obligations under the financed contract in relation to you with regard to the legal consequences of the revocation or return. The latter does not apply if the subject of this contract is the acquisition of financial instruments (e.g. securities, foreign exchange or derivatives). If you wish to avoid a contractual obligation as far as possible, make use of your right of withdrawal and also withdraw from the loan agreement if you are also entitled to a right of withdrawal for this.

8.1 Supplementary right of return for consumers ("60-day trial")

We grant customers who are consumers (see definition below) a supplementary right of return beyond the statutory withdrawal period of 14 days when purchasing a product. If you are not satisfied with the delivered product, you can request a return by e-mail to info@boho-moebel.de or by post within 60 days of receipt of the goods. Table tops that have been screwed to the table frame are explicitly excluded from this supplementary right of return for consumers.

The return shipment (within Germany except islands) is free of charge.

Once we have received the goods, we will refund the full purchase price.

The supplementary right of return exists in any case in addition to your statutory right of withdrawal and does not affect any warranty claims. If you make use of your statutory right of revocation or if you declare the request for return within the statutory revocation period (see above), the provisions on the consequences of exercising the statutory right of revocation shall apply in deviation from the above provisions. For details, please refer to the withdrawal policy (see above).

Definition of consumer
Consumers are natural persons with whom a business relationship is entered into without them acting in the exercise of a commercial or independent professional activity. 

9. Retention of title 

9.1 All purchased items remain the property of boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH until full payment of all liabilities arising from the purchase contract. The retention of title also applies to entrepreneurs for other claims which boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH has against the buyer from its current business relations.

9.2 boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH will release the securities to which it is entitled upon request at its discretion, insofar as the value of the securities exceeds the claims of boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH by more than 20%

9.3 Furthermore, the so-called extended retention of title is agreed. If the buyer processes the goods, boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH acquires co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the value of the delivered goods.

9.4 For the duration of the retention of title, the object of purchase is to be insured by the buyer against destruction, damage and loss at the request of boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH with the proviso that the rights from this insurance are exclusively due to boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH. The buyer is free to choose the insurer.

9.5 As long as the retention of title exists, the buyer must manage the goods carefully and refrain from any disposal, in particular transfer of ownership, pledging and transfer of possession.

9.6 The commercial buyer is entitled to resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. He already now assigns to boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH all claims in the amount of the invoice amount, which he is entitled to through the resale against a third party. The boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH accepts the assignment.

9.7 Upon request, the buyer must provide boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH with all requested information about the assigned claim and submit a written declaration of assignment. After the assignment, the entrepreneur is authorized to collect the claim and at the same time obliged to immediately transfer the amount received in the amount of the outstanding claims to boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH. The boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH reserves the right to collect the claim itself as soon as the entrepreneur (customer) does not properly fulfill his payment obligations and is in default of payment.

10.1.1 For customers who are entrepreneurs in the sense of clause 1.4, boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH provides warranty for proven defects of the goods initially at its discretion by repair or replacement. 

10.1.2 Consumers, on the other hand, have the choice of whether the supplementary performance is to be carried out by repair or replacement. The type of subsequent performance chosen may only be refused if it involves disproportionate expense.

10.5 Further claims of the customer for damages due to breaches of duty by the seller, his legal representative or his vicarious agent, other than those codified in section 10.4, can only be asserted if the breaches of duty are due to intent or gross negligence, unless they involve injury to life, limb or health.

10.7 The same conditions apply for the delivery of replacement items as for the original delivery.

10.8 The liability for a breach of duty due to guaranteed characteristics of the object of purchase remains  unaffected; if quality specifications are not expressly designated as such by boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH, these do not constitute guaranteed characteristics within the meaning of § 444 BGB.

10.9 boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH is only liable for slight negligence if an obligation is violated, the observance of which is of particular importance for the achievement of the purpose of the contract. In this case, the liability is limited to such damages that are typically to be expected in the context of this contract. For completely untypical or unforeseeable damages boho möbelwerkstatt GmbH is not liable.
