Differing terms and conditions do not apply, unless they are expressly agreed in writing.
1.2 In the sense of these Terms and Conditions, customers are both consumers and entrepreneurs. Consumers are natural persons concluding contracts for a purpose that is neither commercial nor which can be attributed to their professional activity. Entrepreneurs within the meaning of the terms and conditions are natural or legal persons or partnerships having legal capacity, which in concluding the contract, exercise their commercial or independent professional activity.

§ 2 CONTRACT AGREEMENT
2.1 Our offers are always subject to changes and are not binding. The illustrations of products in the EQVIS eShop do not represent a legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalogue. We reserve the right to errors in images to pictures, descriptions, dimensions, weights and design changes without prior notice. Images are for reference only and serve as illustrations and may differ from the final product. An order given via our website or by e-mail, internet auctions, phone, fax or mail by the customer shall be binding. After receipt of the order, the customer receives an email that confirms the receipt of his order (order confirmation). This order confirmation contains no declaration of acceptance of the offer, but is for information only. An effective purchase contract is created only with our delivery confirmation or delivery of the goods.
§ 3 STORAGE OF THE CONTRACT TEXT
3.1 We save your order and the order data entered. We will send you via e-mail an order confirmation with all order data. You also have the option to print both the order and the terms and conditions before placing the order with us.

§ 4 RIGHT OF REVOCATION POLICY FOR CONSUMERS
4.1 The following revocation right is valid only for consumers:
Right of Cancellation / Right of withdrawal
You are entitled to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days, without stating reasons.
The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you, or a third party designated by you, other than the sponsor, take(s) possession of the goods. To exercise your right to withdraw, you must inform EQVIS GmbH, Alsterdorfer Str. 394, 22297 Hamburg, Germany, Tel. +49 40 500 161 88. Fax +49 40 500 161 87, email hello@eqvis.net, Internet www.eqvis.net, by way of an unambiguous declaration (e.g. in a letter sent by post mail, fax or email) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You may use the withdrawal form template here, but this is not compulsory. In order to comply with the cancellation period, it is sufficient for you to send us notice that you are exercising your right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired. Consequences of cancellation If you withdraw from this contract, we have to refund all payments we have received from you, including shipment charges (with the exception of additional costs arising when you chose a different delivery method to the most cost-efficient standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day we received the notification that you are withdrawing from this contract. The repayment will be made using the same payment method as used for the original transaction, unless otherwise explicitly agreed with you; under no circumstances will you be charged fees for this repayment. We may withhold the refund until the items have been returned to us, or until you have provided evidence that you have shipped the goods, whichever is earlier. The customer shall return the goods promptly and in any event no later than fourteen days from the date on which the right of withdrawal was exercised. The deadline will be deemed to have been observed if you send the items before the fourteen-day deadline has expired. We shall bear the cost of returning the items. In order for you to receive a full refund, the goods you are returning must be in the same pristine condition, that you have received them in. Should the goods be returned with signs of wear forcing us to invest in reconditioning or replacement of the goods, we may choose to deduct these costs from your refund. A right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the delivery of goods which are not prefabricated and the production of which required an individual choice or decision by the consumer, or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the customer (for example, commissioned engravings).
