1. Scope of Application
Any and all services of the online-shop “Queen of Darkness” shall be rendered exclusively on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions of Business.
2. Conclusion of Contract
The presentation of goods in our online shop shall not be a binding offer to the customer, but shall merely constitute an online catalogue. By sending off the purchase order, you place a binding offer with us to enter into a purchase agreement regarding the goods contained in the purchase order upon the terms and conditions transmitted together with the purchase order. Purchase orders made via phone, fax, or the internet shall be equally legally valid. We will confirm receipt of the purchase order by means of an acknowledgment of receipt. Such acknowledgment of receipt shall not constitute acceptance of the purchase order. The agreement shall become effective upon receipt of the goods through your acceptance.
3. Right of Withdrawal for Consumers
You have the right to withdrawal this contract without stating any reasons within 14 days.
The withdrawal period is 14 days, from the date, when you or someone you named third party, who is not the carrier, received the goods.
To perform your right of withdrawal, you need to inform us (gustum GmbH & Co.

Therefor you can use the attached example withdrawal form, which is optional.
In order to ensure the withdrawal period, it’s sufficient to send the notification of exercise the right of withdrawal before expiration of the withdrawal period.
Effects of Withdrawal
If you withdrawal this contract, we shall refund all payments, which we received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs, which results in that you chose another kind of delivery service instead of our standard service) immediately and within 14 days, from the date where we received your notification of withdrawal.
For this refund, we shall use the same payment method as in the original transaction, unless something else has been expressly agreed with you.
You will not get charged for any refund fees.
We can refuse the refund until we received the goods or until you prove that you sent the goods, depending on which date occurs earlier.
You shall return the goods to us (gustum GmbH & Co. KG, Ludwig-Hupfeld-Str. 16, 04178 Leipzig, Germany) immediately or in any case within 14 days, from the date where we received your notification of withdrawal. The period is ensured, if you send the goods before expiration in the period of 14 days.
You pay the direct costs of returning the goods.
You only need to pay for a possible loss of value of the goods, if we can prove by a check of condition, quality and functionality of the goods, that the loss of value is due to an unnecessary handling of the goods by you.
