​

4.1. Florentina Leitner’s Right of Withdrawal

Florentina Leitner is entitled to withdraw from the contract and to demand the return of the goods if the customer behaves in breach of contract, particularly in the event of default of payment. In addition, Florentina Leitner is entitled to breach an obligation according to 8.3. to withdraw from the contract and to demand the return of the goods if Florentina Leitner can no longer be expected to adhere to the contract.

This rescission is without prejudice to Florentina Leitner's claim for damages due to non-performance. In addition, the customer owes Florentina Leitner an appropriate fee for the use of the goods. In the event of withdrawal from the contract according to 4.1., Florentina Leitner has the choice of requesting a flat-rate compensation of 15% of the invoice amount or the damage actually incurred.

​

4.2. Unjustified cancellation by the customer

If the customer withdraws from the contract without being entitled to do so or if he requests its cancellation, Florentina Leitner has the choice of insisting on the fulfillment of the contract or agreeing to the cancellation of the contract. In the latter case, the customer is obliged, at Florentina Leitner's option, to request either a flat-rate compensation of 15% of the invoice amount or the damage actually incurred.

​

4.3. Returns

5.1. The prices offered are daily prices and apply until revoked. Austrian sales tax is included in the price. Despite our best efforts, a few products in the web shop or catalog may be incorrectly priced. When processing the order, the prices are also checked. If there is an error in the pricing and the correct price is higher than the price on the website, the customer will be contacted before the order is confirmed and before the goods are shipped whether they wish to purchase the product at the correct price or cancel. If the correct price of the goods is lower than that stated on the website, the correct lower price will be recorded in the order confirmation and only this amount will be charged.

 

5.2. Costs for packaging and shipping are invoiced separately in the form of a flat rate and shown as a separate item in the order. These are deemed to have been approved by the customer with the order in terms of content and amount. The prices valid at the time of the order are always decisive. 

 

5.3. Customs fees for shipping orders to countries outside the European Union are fully borne by the customer. If the customer exercises his right of withdrawal according to point 3 (CONSUMER'S RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL ACCORDING TO FAGG) and sends the goods back to Florentina Leitner, he must ensure that the customs duties paid on import are reimbursed to him, by indicating when posting the goods for return that an order is being returned. The customer must take all necessary steps to ensure that he does not have to pay customs duties again on the return and also to be reimbursed for the customs duties paid on importation. If the customer is unsuccessful, he must pay for the damage incurred himself. Florentina Leitner does not pay any customs fees.
