Even in the case of revocation or withdrawal from the purchase, these additional costs will be retained in the reimbursement of costs.

5.4

In the case of entrepreneurs, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold item shall pass to the entrepreneur upon handover to the entrepreneur himself or to a person authorized to receive the goods, and in the case of a mail-order purchase – even in the case of carriage-paid delivery – upon delivery of the goods to a suitable transport person.

In no case are the vouchers payable in cash, neither in full nor in part. In the event of business closure, transfer or liquidation, any vouchers not redeemed by then will automatically expire without entitlement to any form of refund. Lost vouchers will not be replaced or refunded by us. Vouchers are only valid and redeemable in their original form, dated and signed and stamped by us.

7. NOTIFICATION OF TRANSPORT DAMAGES

ArsVitha will support the customer in case of transport damages to the best of its ability, as far as claims are asserted against the concerned transport company or the concerned transport insurance. The goods will be handed over by ArsVitha to the transport company for shipment in perfect condition and externally perfect, best possible commercial packaging.

The customer will check the delivered goods and their shipping packaging. In the event of externally visible transport damage, the customer undertakes, in the event that the delivery is nevertheless accepted, to note the damage on the respective shipping documents upon acceptance of the delivery and to have the damage acknowledged by the delivery agent; the packaging is to be retained, as are the documents acknowledged by the delivery agent with the note on transport damage. The customer has to inform contact@weekender.info about this in writing within three days after delivery of the goods.

If the (partial) loss or damage is not externally recognizable, the customer has to report this to ArsVitha AND to the carrier within three days after delivery to ensure that any claims against the carrier can be asserted in time. For this purpose, the shipment must remain unchanged in its original packaging until a representative of the carrier has satisfied himself of the condition of the shipment and issued a certificate.

Transport damages do not release the buyer from his obligation to pay.

8. FINAL PROVISIONS
