§ 8 Revocation for purchases

  1. The right of withdrawal applies only to consumers.
  2. Cancellation policy: 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, have taken or has taken possession of the last goods. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must send us (FlowaPowa GmbH, Mahlower
    Str. 28, 15806 Zossen, shop@flowapowa.de, Tel: 017657896038) of your decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter or e-mail sent by post). You can use the attached sample withdrawal form for this purpose, but it is not mandatory. You can also fill out and submit the model withdrawal form or another clear declaration electronically on our website (www.flowapowa.de). If you make use of this option, we will send you confirmation of receipt of such revocation without delay (e.g. by e-mail). To comply with the cancellation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of cancellation before the expiry of the cancellation period.

    Consequences of cancellation:
    If you revoke this contract, we shall reimburse you for 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 most favorable standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which we received the notification of your revocation of 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 because of 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 undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days from the day on which you notify us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of 14 days. You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods. The costs depend on the product and are estimated at about 10 EUR for products similar to FlowaOne. You must pay for any loss in value of the goods only if this loss in value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for testing the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.

The customer shall immediately notify a change of ownership of the goods as well as his own change of address. The Customer shall compensate FlowaPowa for all damages and costs resulting from a violation of these obligations and from necessary intervention measures against third party access to the goods.
  3. FlowaPowa shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract and demand the return of the goods in the event that the Customer acts in breach of the contract, in particular in the event of default in payment. In addition, FlowaPowa shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract and demand return of the goods in the event of a breach of an obligation pursuant to § 11 (2) if it is no longer reasonable to expect the Customer to adhere to the contract.
