7.1 This clause 7. applies exclusively to customers who purchase products from us in their capacity as consumers within the meaning of the KSchG (Business to Consumer / B2C).
7.2 You have the right to revoke your contract declaration or an already concluded contract within fourteen days without giving reasons.
The withdrawal period shall be fourteen days from the date on which you or a third party designated by you, who is not the carrier, took possession of the goods. If you ordered the goods as part of a single order and these goods are delivered separately, the withdrawal period shall begin on the day on which you or a third party designated by you and who is not the carrier took possession of the latest goods. If we have not complied with our obligation to inform you about the existence of the right of revocation (conditions, deadlines and procedures for exercising this right), the revocation period shall be extended by twelve months. If we provide the information within twelve months after taking possession of the goods, or in the case of separate delivery of the latest goods, the revocation period ends 14 days after the time at which you receive this information.
In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify us
Firefin GmbH
Weyringergasse 34/DG
1040 Wien
Tel.: +43 676 483 3715
E-Mail: office@firefin.surf
of your decision to withdraw from this Agreement by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an e-mail). You can use the sample revocation form online available for this purpose, but this is not mandatory. In order to comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient for you to send the notification of exercising the right of revocation before the expiry of the revocation period.
7.3 Consequences of revocation:
If you revoke your declaration of contract or an existing contract, we will refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery charges (other than the additional charges arising from your choosing a method of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and no later than fourteen days from the date we receive notice of your revocation of this contract.
For this refund we will use the same payment method that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; however, you will not be charged for this refund. We may refuse to refund until we have received the goods delivered or until we have received proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.
You must return or hand over the goods to us
Firefin GmbH
Weyringergasse 34/DG
1040 Wien
immediately and not later than fourteen days after the day on which you notify us of the revocation of this contract. This period will be considered observed if you dispatch the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days. You bear the immediate costs of returning the goods. The costs shall be estimated at a maximum of approximately EUR 10, whereby the final amount depends on the order quantity selected by you (the aforementioned cost estimate refers to a standard shipment of 1 piece within Austria).
You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is attributable to handling them in a way that is not necessary to check their condition, properties and functionality.
You have no right of revocation for contracts concerning
● services, if we - on the basis of your explicit request and a confirmation of your knowledge of the loss of the right of revocation upon complete performance of the contract - had begun with the performance of the service before the expiry of the revocation period and the service was then fully performed,
● goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized,
● goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly,
● sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery,
