Revocation instruction

Right of revocation

You have the right to revoke this contract without giving reasons within a period of 14 days.

The revocation period is fourteen days starting with the day that you or a by you designated third party, that is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods.

To exercise your right of revocation, you have to inform us (Point of Sports GmbH, Kapellenweg 31, 83064 Raubling, Germany, office@watersport.eu, telephone: 004980359678790) in form of an explicit declaration (f.e. a mailed letter or e-mail) about your decision to revoke this contract.

In order to meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your notification of exercising your right of revocation before expiration of the revocation period.

Effect of revocation

In case you decide to revoke this contract, we are obliged to repay all payments we have received from you, including the shipment costs (excluding additional costs that result from you choosing another way of delivery than our recommended cheapest form of standard delivery) immediately and no later than fourteen days after the notification of revocation becomes available for us. For this redemption we use the same mean of payment you used at the initial transaction unless something else has been explicitly agreed on with you; in no event you will get charged any costs due to your redemption. We can deny the redemption until we receive the goods or you provide evidence that you sent the goods back, whichever is sooner.

You are obliged to send or give the goods back promptly and in any case no later than fourteen days after you inform us about your intent to revoke the contract, to us or (if necessary insert name and address of the by you authorized person to accept the goods). The deadline is met if the goods are sent no later than fourteen days and thus within the time limit.

You will be responsible for the immediate costs of returning the goods. Returns from a value of € 40,- are free of charge.

You only have to compensate for a hypothetical loss in value of the goods, if this loss in value is due to you handling the goods in a manner that is not necessary with regards to condition, features and functionality.

Return of goods

Free return from a value of goods of € 40,-!

You have the right to revoke this contract without citing any reasons within fourteen days.

The deadline for revocation is fourteen days from the day your or an appointed third party that is not the consignor, has taken the last goods into possession. We politely ask you to send us the returning goods in the original packaging if possible.

Return shipments within Germany:

You can send all packages with the DHL return slip back to us. From a value of goods of € 40,- the return is completely free of charge! If the value of goods is lower than € 40,- we charge the standard shipping fee of € 4,95.

Please simply follow the three instructions under the point return shipment:

Return shipments beyond Germany:

You bear the immediate costs for the return shipment. In case of an exchange we deliver the product free of charge back to you. In this case you won’t have to pay for any additional shipping costs.

Note:

In case the postage exemption limit is undercut in case of return of a postage free delivery due to the lower value of goods, you loose the advantage of the postage free original delivery. In this case, the postage of the original delivery will be automatically deducted from the credit or rather the transfer.

The right of revocation does not apply to following contracts, as far as nothing else has been agreed on between the parties: contracts on the delivery of goods, that are not prefabricated and for the production of which an indivudal selection or determination by the consumer is relevant or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.

In case the goods come back to us not originally packed, including all information - & safety-relevant instructions and documents, this constitutes significant additional expenses in the form of reprinting and preparing of the product on our part. In this case we can assert a claim for compensation of value.

Transport damages and incompleteness

Should you find transport damages on the delivered goods or determine incompleteness, please reclaim this within three workdays after receipt of the consignment via telephone or e-mail. Later complaints cannot be taken into consideration.

Testing the product in water

In case the loss of value is due to improper use of the goods, that is necessary to examine the quality, the characteristics and funtionality of the goods, a claim for compensation of value is possible. In that case, we politely ask you to get in touch with us via telephone or e.mail.

5. Warranty

All info about warranty and guarantee can be found here:

Warranty and guarantee

6. Prices & Shipping costs

The prices on the product websites are inclusive the statutory value-added tax and other price components.
The prices and costs are based on the Seller's purchase and manufacturing costs at the time of the conclusion of the contract. Should these prices and costs increase for reasons beyond the Seller's control until the time of delivery, the Seller may pass on this cost increase to the Customer. The seller will inform the contracting party about the increase.
You can find a detailed overview of our shipping here

7. Delivery

We choose the cheapest form of transport for you – smaller packages we usually ship with GLS, large packages (longer than 120 cm/47 inch) wes hip with a parcel service.
If nobody is home:
GLS will ask a neighbour whether they will accept the parcel for the consignee. If a neighbour cannot accept the parcel, GLS will take it to the nearest GLS ParcelShop – if there is one nearby (does not apply to tyres). The parcel will be ready for customer collection from the day after the attempted delivery for a duration of eight working days.

If parcel delivery is not possible (either to a neighbour or to a GLS ParcelShop), the parcel will be returned to the GLS depot (distribution center), where it can be collected from the day after the attempted delivery and for a duration of four working days.

Notification card:
If the parcel could not be delivered to the original address specified, the delivery driver will leave a notification card. This card provides the consignee with all the important information, such as the name of the neighbour, details about the GLS ParcelShop or the GLS depot. The notification card also allows third party authorization.

We reserve the right to make partial deliveries in case this seems to be advantageous for a speedy processing.

8. Payment

Payment may be made by cash in advance, Paypal, cash on delivery (possible only within Germany with a surname fee), Visa or Mastercard
Should you select the advance payment method, we will include our bank details in the order confirmation and deliver the goods after receiving the payment.

9. Retention of title
The delivered goods will remain in our possession until receipt of full payment.
