In addition, there are shipping costs, which depend on the shipping method and the size and weight of the product(s) ordered by you. You can find out about the details at. We shall bear the regular costs of the return shipment incurred in the event that you return the goods by exercising your right of revocation. If you exercise your right of withdrawal, we will also refund the shipping costs.

Payment

Payment is made upon delivery by

– credit card

– direct debit

– prepayment

Default of payment

If you are in default of payment, Dark Ocean Gbr is entitled to claim default interest in the amount of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate p.a. announced by the Deutsche Bundesbank for the time of the order. In case Dark Ocean Gbr has demonstrably incurred a higher damage caused by default, Dark Ocean Gbr is entitled to assert such damage.

Right of retention

The customer is only entitled to exercise a right of retention insofar as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.

Delivery

(1) Delivery is made to the delivery address specified by the customer, within

– Germany

– Europe

(2) If force majeure (natural disasters, war, civil war, terrorist attack) makes the delivery or any other service permanently impossible, Dark Ocean Gbr’s obligation to perform is excluded. Amounts already paid will be refunded by Dark Ocean Gbr immediately.

(3) Dark Ocean Gbr can also refuse performance, insofar as this requires an effort that is grossly disproportionate to the customer’s interest in the fulfillment of the purchase contract, taking into account the content of the purchase contract and the dictates of good faith. Amounts already paid will be refunded by Dark Ocean Gbr immediately.

(4) Bulky goods (parcels with a volume larger than 1 sqm) are usually delivered by a forwarding agency. Dark Ocean Gbr explicitly points out that these goods are not carried into the house.

Favorable shipping method for returns

(1) When returning the goods and accessories, please use the original packaging if possible, even if it should be damaged by an opening for functional testing.

(2) Please use the fully stamped and addressed return label enclosed with the delivery of goods for the return. This is the simplest and most cost-effective shipping option. You are under no obligation to use this return method. However, if you choose an unnecessarily expensive shipping method, you may be required to pay us the increased cost compared to a less expensive shipping method.

Warranty rights

(1) A product that is already defective upon delivery (warranty case) will be replaced by a defect-free product or repaired professionally (supplementary performance) at the customer’s option and at Dark Ocean Gbr’s expense. It is pointed out to the customer that there is no case of warranty if the product had the agreed quality at the time of transfer of risk. A warranty case does not exist in particular in the following cases:

a) in the case of damage caused to the customer by misuse or improper use,

b) in case of damage caused by the fact that the products have been exposed to harmful external influences at the customer’s (in particular extreme temperatures, humidity, extraordinary physical or electrical stress, voltage fluctuations, lightning, static electricity, fire).

(2) Dark Ocean Gbr furthermore does not warrant for a defect caused by improper repair by a service partner not authorized by the manufacturer.

(3) If the type of supplementary performance desired by the customer (replacement delivery or repair) requires an effort that is grossly disproportionate to the customer’s interest in performance in consideration of the product price, taking into account the content of the contract and the dictates of good faith – whereby in particular the value of the object of purchase in a defect-free condition, the significance of the defect and the question of whether the other type of supplementary performance can be resorted to without significant disadvantages for the customer – the customer’s claim is limited to the respective other type of supplementary performance. The right of Dark Ocean Gbr to also refuse this other type of subsequent performance under the aforementioned condition remains unaffected.

((4) Both in the case of repair and in the case of replacement, the customer is obliged to send the product at the expense of Dark Ocean Gbr, stating the order number, to the return address provided by it. Before sending in the product, the customer has to remove objects inserted by him from the product. Dark Ocean Gbr is not obligated to inspect the product for the insertion of such items. Dark Ocean Gbr is not liable for the loss of such items, unless it was readily apparent to Dark Ocean Gbr at the time the product was returned that such an item had been inserted into the product (in which case Dark Ocean Gbr will inform the customer and hold the item ready for collection by the customer; the customer will bear the costs incurred in doing so). The customer must also, before sending a product for repair or replacement, if necessary, make separate backup copies of the system software, applications and all data on the product on a separate data carrier and deactivate all passwords. No liability for loss of data will be assumed. Likewise, after the repaired product or the replacement product has been returned to the customer, the customer shall be responsible for installing the software and data and reactivating the passwords.

(5) If the customer sends in the goods in order to receive a replacement product, the return of the defective product shall be governed by the following provisions: If the customer was able to use the goods in a defect-free condition between delivery and return, the customer shall reimburse the value of the benefits derived by the customer. The customer shall pay compensation for the value of any loss or further deterioration of the goods not caused by the defect and for the impossibility of surrendering the goods not caused by the defect in the period between delivery of the goods and return of the goods. The customer does not have to pay compensation for the deterioration of the goods caused by the intended use of the goods. Furthermore, the obligation to pay compensation for the value shall not apply to the return of a defective product in the case of warranty,

a) if the defect entitling the customer to withdraw from the contract only became apparent during processing or remodeling,

b) if Dark Ocean Gbr is responsible for the deterioration or loss or the damage would also have occurred at Dark Ocean Gbr,

c) if the deterioration or loss occurred at the customer’s, although the customer has observed the care he/she is accustomed to apply in his/her own affairs.

(6) The customer’s liability for damages in the event of a breach of the obligation to return the goods for which the customer is responsible shall be governed by the statutory provisions.

(7) The customer may, at its option, withdraw from the contract or reduce the purchase price if the repair or replacement delivery has not resulted in a condition of the product in accordance with the contract within a reasonable period of time.

(8) In addition, there may also be claims against the manufacturer under a warranty granted by the manufacturer, which shall be governed by the relevant warranty conditions.

(9) The legal warranty of Dark Ocean Gbr ends two years after delivery of the goods. The period begins with the receipt of the goods.

Liability

(1) In case of slight negligence Dark Ocean Gbr is only liable in case of violation of essential contractual obligations and limited to the foreseeable damage. This limitation does not apply in case of injury to life, body and health. Dark Ocean Gbr is not liable for other damages caused by slight negligence due to a defect of the object of purchase.

(2) Regardless of Dark Ocean Gbr’s fault, Dark Ocean Gbr’s liability remains unaffected in case of fraudulent concealment of the defect or from the assumption of a guarantee. The manufacturer’s warranty is a warranty of the manufacturer and does not represent an assumption of a warranty by Dark Ocean Gbr.

(3) Dark Ocean Gbr is also responsible for the impossibility of delivery occurring by chance during its delay, unless the damage would also have occurred in case of timely delivery.

(4) Personal liability of the legal representatives, vicarious agents and employees of Dark Ocean Gbr for damages caused by them due to slight negligence is excluded.
