The withdrawal must be communicated to EKWB within 30 days after receiving the ordered products pursuant to the Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA) procedure (see Art. 3.1.). In case the order contains multiple products and the delivery is split, the 30-day notice period shall start to run upon reception of the last product from the same order. The notice shall be deemed to be submitted timely if sent off before the lapse of the aforementioned 30-day notice period.

For avoidance of doubt, if the returned products are inspected, handled or used by the customer in a way beyond the way comparable with the inspection possible in a brick-and-mortar shop, EKWB reserves the right to refund the customer a diminished value of the Products (see Art. 3.2.4.).

3.2.2. Return of Products

The products must be returned to EKWB within 14 days after the Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA) is granted (see chapter 3.1).

The products must be returned to the address stated on the RMA.

If possible, the products must be returned in the original primary and secondary packaging. The products need to be appropriately packaged, protected against damages during transport (e. g. by air cushions, bubble foil, styrofoam), the packet must be labelled with the RMA code and “fragile” pictogram visible on the outer side, and enclosed with the RMA form.

The costs associated with the return to the pickup location or shipping costs shall be entirely borne by the customer. The height of the costs depends on the location of the customer, the chosen courier service provider, the selected courier service expedience and other courier service parameters, bulikness and weight of the returned items. The anticipated shipping costs will not exceed 300 EUR.

3.2.3. Rejection of Returns for Convenience

EKWB has the right to reject returns for convenience not announced or returned timely, returns without a Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA), returns dispatched to the wrong address, returns not packed and labelled, or enclosed with all required documentation as stipulated herein, or returns containing products not meeting the required condition. EKWB may, at its sole and exclusive discretion, accept returns not meeting the conditions above and refund the purchase price after deduction of the diminished value of the products (see Art. 3.2.4.)

3.2.4. Refund of the Purchase Price, Deduction of the Diminished Value

For products eligible for return, EKWB will refund the purchase price and the initial delivery costs (including all extra tax, import, customs clearance and other associated costs, if applicable) within 14 days upon reception of the products, or after the reception of proof of dispatch of the products back to EKWB, whatever is earlier. In case the customer opted for a premium delivery option when placing the order, only the standard delivery costs will be reimbursed. In case only some Products from the order are returned, only the delivery costs pertaining to the returned Products will be reimbursed. If the delivery costs pertaining to the returned Products cannot be separated or would be the same even if the initial delivery did not include the returned Products, no delivery costs will be reimbursed.

The refund will be effected at the cost of EKWB via the same means of payment as used when the order had been placed, unless mutually agreed otherwise.

The customer is responsible and liable for the diminished value of the products in the following cases:

The product arrives to EKWB damaged and the damage was incurred after the initial delivery to the customer, irrespective of the reason (i. e. caused by the customer or during the transportation back to EKWB).
Opened primary packaging or wrappings of individual parts within the primary packaging.
Signs of installation, use, filling with cooling or cleaning medium of the product (as applicable).
Any other state of the primary packaging, the product or its individual parts caused by the conduct of the customer exceeding the necessary inspection to establish the nature, properties or functioning of the product in a way comparable with the inspection possible in a brick-and-mortar shop.

EKWB is entitled to set-off, withhold and deduct from the refund amount reasonable costs incurred due to the diminished value of the products as set forth above. Such costs include e. g. the costs of substituting any missing product parts, repairs, cleaning, repackaging. Please note that the efforts needed to restore the used Products to factory state or the objective inability to do so may render the returned products unfit for further merchantability. In such cases, the diminished value may in the worst scenario represent the entire purchase price of the Product.

EKWB will inform the customer of the deduction amount and the reasons for the deduction before the refund is made.

Any Product(s) or Software sent to EKWB for support may be returned to you configured as originally provided to you by EKWB.

3.8. RMA Procedure

You can start RMA procedure through your web shop account under My returns, where you can choose the Product(s) you want to return and the reasons for return in the drop-down menu. In case you placed an order without creating a web shop account (as a guest), you will have to create a web shop account before starting RMA procedure and manually enter the Product(s) to which your claim is related.

In case the EK-Care Package was ordered at the time of purchase, you can only take avail of the service if the email address under which the web shop account is registered matches the email address submitted during the ordering process.

Please follow the RMA instructions below:

Print out the RMA document.
Scan or take a photo of the filled-out RMA document and attach it to the portal as requested.
Securely pack the device(s), preferably in original packing and mark the package with the provided RMA number. Include the RMA document in the package.
Print out and affix the shipping label to the package.
Bring the package to the agreed pickup location or send the package to the address stated on the shipping label.

Please note personal deliveries of returns to the pickup location will only be accepted if the return merchandise authorisation has been granted and the RMA procedure above is duly followed. EKWB reserves the right to reject returns not requested timely, returns without a Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA), returns to the wrong address, returns not packed and labelled, or enclosed with all required documentation as stipulated herein, or returns containing products not meeting the required condition.

3.8.1. Returns

All returns must be returned to the address indicated on the RMA form or shipping label. Returns that don’t qualify for defect liability or warranty coverage will be repaired and/or returned to customers at their own costs. Your purchase of any Product is governed by the limited warranty provided with that Product. Product needs to be returned in 14 days after RMA is approved by EKWB. In contrary EKWB is not obliged to fulfil its obligations under RMA Procedure.

3.8.2. Shipping of Returned Products to EKWB

The costs associated with the return shipping in case of returns for convenience shall be entirely borne by the customer.

The costs associated with the return shipping in case of justified returns due to defects shall be entirely borne by EKWB. EKWB will cover the shipping cost for your return of defect Products to EKWB, possible costs from EKWB to EKWB’s service center and back to EKWB, as well as the shipping costs for the delivery of repaired or replaced products back to you.

In case of unjustified returns due to defects, EKWB shall not be liable to reimburse the costs of shipping defect Products to EKWB.

All shipped packages from EKWB are fully insured. If you receive a damaged package, you must notify us immediately by e-mail (link: [email protected]). Sending back damaged merchandise voids the shipping insurance and no credit will therefore be given. Damaged packages must be held for seven calendar days with original packaging for courier's company inspection. We will send you new Products free of any expenses.

Please ship the return package using a carrier that provides a tracking number and proof of delivery. We recommend DHL, UPS, GLS or FedEx. EKWB will not be responsible for items lost by the carrier, but will help you resolve the issue with the delivery courier. Valid proof of delivery must include the receipt signature of an authorized EKWB employee.

The detailed contents of the service are described in Art. 3.10.6. (Contents of the Service).

EK-Care Package service is subject to these terms and conditions, which apply in addition to the Terms of Sale.

While EK-Care Package grants several rights reserved exclusively to the customers who have signed-up for EK-Care Package, failure of the customer to order EK-Care Package does not in any way adversely affect the customer’s rights granted under the liability for defects and warranty, which remain unaffected and subject to the Terms of Sale.

EK-Care Package does not guarantee priority of particular claims above the other claims.

Likewise, EK-Care Package service does not imply any waiver of EKWB’s right to reject unfounded claims.

3.9.6. Contents of the Service

While EKWB strives for the fastest possible processing of incorrect delivery, defect liability and warranty claims in order to achieve maximum customer satisfaction, inquiries and the inspection of defect Products typically consume few weeks of time.

With EK-Care Package, subscribers’ claims will be treated with priority. In case of:

a) Incomplete shipments (missing parts): EKWB will dispatch the missing parts within 7 (seven) days upon receiving the full and complete claim.

b) Shipments of wrong products: EKWB will reship the order within 7 (seven) days upon receiving the full and complete claim.

c) Lost shipments: EKWB will not wait for the outcome of shipment whereabout inquiries and the resolution of the mis-delivery claims with the courier service provider past 7 (seven) days. Instead, shipments will be automatically replaced and Products immediately reshipped if the delivery fails to take place within 7 (seven) days after the full and complete EK-Care Package service claim is placed. If the initial shipment eventually arrives, the customer shall, at its option, either a) retain the Product and pay EKWB the purchase price, or, b) return the redundant Product at EKWB’s costs. EKWB will organise the pick-up of the later delivery. The customer shall be liable for any costs, expenses or damages incurred by EKWB due to his/her failure to pay or return the redundant Product.

d) Damaged shipment wrapping: EKWB will not wait for the outcome of the inquiry with the courier service provider. Instead, shipments will be reshipped within 7 (seven) days upon receiving the full and complete claim.

e) Defect or warranty claims: Even though under mandatory statutory defect liability and warranty provisions and these Terms of Sale the customer is not entitled to withdrawal and the return of purchase price, unless the seller is unable to repair or replace the defect product, under EK-Care Package, the customer may choose either to have the defect product replaced or withdraw from the purchase against the refund of purchase price and associated costs. EKWB will refund the purchase price and associated costs or replace the defect Products within 7 (seven) days after receiving full and complete defect liability or warranty claim, prior to conducting a full inspection of the defects and irrespective if EKWB would otherwise prefer the repair as the better rectification option.

EKWB will refund the purchase price and the initial delivery costs (including all extra tax, import, customs clearance and other associated costs, if applicable) at its own cost via the same means of payment as used when the order had been placed, unless mutually agreed otherwise.

All costs of the supplement/replacement delivery will be borne by EK according to general rules on the allocation of shipping costs (see Articles 3.4.3. and 3.5.2).

For avoidance of doubt, the EK-Care Package service does not mean the regular inquiry and inspection procedures will be waived, but rather the customer claims will be resolved prior to their completion.
