§ 2 Offer and contract conclusion
(1) Our offers in the online shop are subject to change and non-binding.
(2) You can select products from our assortment and add them to a so-called cart by using the button “Add to cart”. By clicking the button “Buy now” you are sending your order via the online shop and are submitting a binding offer for the products in the cart. Before you send the order you can change and review the data at any time. However the offer can only be submitted and transmitted if you accept these Terms and Conditions by clicking the button “Accept T&C” and consequently include them in your offer.
(3) After receiving your offer, we will promptly send you an automatic acknowledgement of receipt via email, which will constitute acceptance of your offer at the same time (confirmation of order).

The contract text shall be saved while adhering to data protection.
§ 3 Information regarding your right of cancellation
(1) When entering into a distance selling transaction, consumers always have a statutory right of cancellation which we will outline below in accordance with the statutory sample. The exceptions to the right of cancellation are regulated in Paragraph 2. Paragraph 3 includes a sample cancellation form.
Information regarding your right of cancellation
Right of cancellation
You have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days without specifying any reasons.
The cancellation period is fourteen days with effect from the day on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, have or has taken possession of the products.
To exercise your right to cancellation you must inform us (Storz & Bickel GmbH, In Grubenäcker 5-9, 78532 Tuttlingen, Germany, Phone: +49 (0)7461 9697070, email: info@storz-bickel.com) of your decision to cancel this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter via regular mail or an email). You can use the enclosed sample cancellation form for this, which however is not mandatory.
In order to comply with the cancellation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about exercising the cancellation right prior to the expiry of the cancellation period.
Consequences of cancellation
If you cancel this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we have received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification about the cancellation of this contract from you. We will use the same means of payment that you have used for the original transaction for this repayment, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; under no circumstances will you be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within fourteen days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is adhered to if you send the products before the expiry of the fourteen-day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling by you that was not necessary for checking the condition, properties and functionality of the products.
