Revocation instruction
As a consumer, every customer has a right of revocation in the case of off-premises contracts and distance contracts.
Right of revocation
You have the right to revoke this contract within fourteen days without stating any reasons. The revocation period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, took possession of the last goods. To exercise your right of revocation, you must inform the Global Ethic Foundation (Eisenbahnstr. 1, DE-72072 Tübingen, Germany, Tel.: +49 (0)7071 40053-0, Fax: +49 (0)7071 40053-69, versand@weltethos.org) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or email). For this purpose, you may use the attached specimen revocation form, but this is not mandatory. To comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient to send the notification prior to the expiry of the revocation period, advising us that the right of revocation is being exercised.
Consequences of revocation
If you effectively revoke this contract, we are obliged to return all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (except the additional costs incurred by your selection of a way of delivery which differs from the most economical standard delivery offered by us). Such return payment must be made immediately and no later than within fourteen days from the day on which we receive your notification that you are revoking the contract. The repayment will be made by the same means of payment as the one used for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed with you otherwise; in any event, you will not be charged any fees for such a repayment. We many refuse to refund you until we have received the returned merchandise, or until you have provided proof that you have returned the merchandise, whichever is earlier. You shall return or hand over the goods to us without undue delay, at the latest within fourteen days of the day on which you notified us of your intention to revoke the contract. The deadline is satisfied if you dispatch the goods before the expiry of the fourteen-day period.
You shall bear the direct costs for returning the goods.
You must only pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss is due to the handling of the merchandise in a manner not necessary for examining its quality, characteristics and proper functioning.
Exclusion or premature expiry of the right of revocation
The right of revocation does not apply to contracts
- for the delivery of newspapers, magazines or periodicals with the exception of subscription contracts.
The right of revocation shall expire prematurely in the case of contracts
