Right of revocation

You may revoke this contract within 28 days without indicating the reason. The revocation period is 28 days starting on the day you or a third party entitled by you, which is not the shipper, have received the last goods or the last partial delivery or the last part.
To use your right of revocation you must inform us (Fa. büroforum - planen und einrichten GmbH; Edith-Stein-Str. 3 ; 97084 Würzburg-Rottenbauer; Telefon: +49 (0)931 / 8 09 92 - 200; Telefax: +49 (0)931 / 8 09 92 - 199; E-mail: info@bueroforum.net) with a clear statement (e. g. a letter send by post, fax or email) of your decision to revoke this contract.

To ensure the revocation period it is sufficient to send the notice of exercising the right of revocation before the revocation period ends.

Consequences of revocation

When you revoke this contract we have to return all payments received from you including shipping costs (except additional costs which result from you choosing a different shipping method than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us) immediately and latest within fourteen days starting on the day your notice of the cancellation of this contract is received by us. For the return payment we use the same payment method as chosen by you in the original transaction except there is an explicit agreement with you; in no case fees for this return payment will occur.
We can refuse the return payment until we have received the goods or until you have proved that you have returned the goods, depending on what occurs earlier.
You have to send back or deliver the goods to us immediately and at any rate latest within 28 days starting on the day on which you inform us about the cancellation of this contract. The period is ensured when you send back the goods before the end of the period of 28 days.
