If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur ensures secure data transmission and takes appropriate security measures.
The entrepreneur may check the consumer’s creditworthiness. If justified, the entrepreneur may refuse an order or attach conditions.

If exercising the right of withdrawal, the consumer must return the product with all accessories in its original condition and packaging, following clear return instructions.
Consumers must notify the entrepreneur of withdrawal within 30 days via written message/email, then return the product within 30 days. Proof of return (e.g. shipping receipt) may be required, even if returning directly to the supplier in China.
If no withdrawal notice or return is made within the timeframe, the sale is final.
Article 7 – Costs in Case of Withdrawal
Return costs are borne entirely by the consumer, including shipping to the original supplier in China.
If payment has already been made, the entrepreneur will refund the amount within 30 days, provided the product is returned or proof of return is presented.

Price increases within 3 months of contract formation are only allowed if due to legal changes.
After 3 months, price increases are allowed if agreed and the consumer can cancel the contract.

Defects arise from government-imposed standards.
