Special instructions
If you finance this agreement with a loan and cancel it later, you will likewise no longer be bound to the loan agreement if both agreements form a single economic unit. This is in particular the case if we are also your lender, or if your lender requires our collaboration in relation to the financing. If we have already received payment of the loan by the time this cancellation goes into effect, then your lender shall enter into our rights and obligations under the financed agreement in relation to you with respect to the legal consequences of cancellation or return. The latter shall not apply if this agreement concerns the purchase of financial instruments (such as securities, foreign currencies or derivatives). If you want to avoid binding contractual relationships as far as possible, then take advantage of your right of cancellation, and also cancel the loan agreement if you have the right to do so.
8.1 Supplementary right of return for consumers (“60 day test”)
We grant our customers, insofar as they are consumers (see the definition below) a supplementary right of return when they purchase a “Basic Line” and/or “Premium Line” table frame, over and above the statutory 14-day cancellation term. If you are not satisfied with the “Basic Line” and/or “Premium Line” table frame you have received, you can request to return your goods within 60 days of receiving them via e-mail to info@boho-moebel.de or by mail.
Return shipping within Germany (except for German islands) is free of charge. We charge 49 EUR/pc. for pick-up from Austria. We charge 49 EUR/pc. for pick-up from an island or within a European Union state not indicated in the sentence above, and 59 EUR/pc. in other foreign countries.
After we receive the goods, we will reimburse you for the full purchase price.
The supplementary right of return applies in addition to your statutory cancellation rights in every case, and shall not affect any warranty claims. If you want to exercise your statutory cancellation rights, or if you declare that you want to return the goods within the statutory cancellation period (see above), then in deviation from the above regulations the provisions for consequences of exercising your statutory cancellation right shall apply. For details, please see the cancellation policy (see above).

9. Retention of ownership
