§ 6 RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL FOR CONSUMERS

6.1 WITHDRAWAL INSTRUCTION

Right of Withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us:

Lune Ndiaye
Alioune Ndiaye
Mira e.V., Zur Bettfedernfabrik 3
30451 Hannover, Germany
E-Mail: kontakt@lune-ndiaye.com
Phone: +49 1520 3997808

by means of a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that you send the notification concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.

Consequences of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you, including delivery costs (except for the additional costs resulting from choosing a type of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day we receive the notification of your withdrawal. We will use the same payment method that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged fees for this reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have provided evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is earlier.

You must return or hand over the goods to us without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of the withdrawal. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the period of fourteen days expires.

You bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods if this loss of value is due to handling the goods in a way not necessary to check their nature, characteristics, and functioning.

Exclusion or Premature Expiry of the Right of Withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not exist or expires for contracts:

for the delivery of goods that are not prefabricated and for the production of which an individual choice or determination by the consumer is decisive, or that are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer (e.g., personalized paintings or artworks according to customer specifications).

Liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable contractual damage.

(3) Liability for damages from injury to life, body, or health remains unaffected.

§ 12 FINAL PROVISIONS

This choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence is not withdrawn.

(2) For customers outside the EU: The applicable law is determined by the statutory provisions of your country, insofar as these are mandatory. Otherwise, German law applies.

(3) If the customer is a merchant, a public-law legal entity, or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between the customer and us is Hannover, Germany.

(4) Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.Version: February 2025
