If Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk has demonstrably incurred a higher damage caused by delay, Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk is entitled to assert this.
Right of retention
The customer is only authorized to exercise a right of retention insofar as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
Delivery
(1) Delivery will be made to the delivery address specified by the customer within
- Switzerland
- Germany
- Austria
- Italy
(2) If force majeure (natural disasters, war, civil war, terrorist attack) makes the delivery or any other service permanently impossible, Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk's obligation to perform is excluded. Amounts already paid will be refunded immediately by Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk.
(3) Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk can also refuse the service if this requires an effort that is grossly disproportionate to the customer's interest in the fulfillment of the purchase contract, taking into account the content of the purchase contract and the requirements of good faith . Amounts already paid will be refunded immediately by Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk.
(4) Bulky goods (packages with a volume of more than 1 square meter) are usually delivered by a forwarding agent. Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk expressly points out that this product is not carried into the house.
Inexpensive shipping method for returns
(1) When returning the goods and accessories, please use the original packaging if possible, even if it is damaged through an opening for the function test.
(2) For the return, please use the fully stamped and addressed return label enclosed with the delivery of the goods. This is the simplest and cheapest shipping option. You have no obligation to use this return process. However, if you choose an unnecessarily expensive shipping method, you may be obliged to pay us the higher costs compared to a cheaper shipping method.
Retention of title
The delivered goods remain the property of Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk until all claims against the customer from the purchase contract have been settled in full. As long as this retention of title exists, the customer may neither resell nor dispose of the goods; in particular, the customer may not contractually grant any use of the goods to third parties.
Defect rights
(1) A product that was already defective upon delivery (warranty case) will be replaced by Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk with a product that is free of defects or professionally repaired (subsequent performance), at the customer's option and at the expense of Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk. The customer is informed that there is no warranty case if the product had the agreed quality at the time of the transfer of risk. A warranty case does not exist in the following cases in particular:
a) in the event of damage caused by misuse or improper use by the customer,
b) for damage caused by the products being exposed to harmful external influences (in particular extreme temperatures, humidity, unusual physical or electrical stress, voltage fluctuations, lightning, static electricity, fire).
(2) Furthermore, Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk does not provide any guarantee for a fault that has arisen as a result of improper repairs by a service partner not authorized by the manufacturer.
(3) If the type of supplementary performance desired by the customer (replacement delivery or repair) requires an effort which, in view of the product price, taking into account the content of the contract and the requirements of good faith, is grossly disproportionate to the customer's interest in the service - with the value in particular of the purchased item in a defect-free condition, the significance of the defect and the question of whether the other type of subsequent performance can be used without significant disadvantages for the customer - the customer's claim is limited to the other type of subsequent performance. Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk's right to refuse this other type of subsequent performance under the aforementioned condition remains unaffected.
(4) Both in the case of repairs and in the case of replacement delivery, the customer is obliged to send the product to the return address specified by Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk, stating the order number, at the expense of Versa-Suite. Before sending in the customer has to remove objects inserted by him from the product. Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk is not obliged to examine the product for the installation of such objects. Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk is not liable for the loss of such items, unless it was immediately apparent to Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk when the product was taken back that such an item had been inserted into the product (in this case, informed Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk the customer and keeps the item ready for the customer to collect; the customer bears the costs incurred). In addition, before sending in a product for repair or replacement, the customer must, if necessary, make separate backup copies of the system software on the product, the applications and all data on a separate data medium and deactivate all passwords. Liability for data loss is not taken. Likewise, after the repaired or replacement product has been returned to the customer, it is the customer's responsibility to install the software and data and to reactivate the passwords.
(5) If the customer sends the goods in to get a replacement product, the return of the defective product is based on the following stipulation: If the customer was able to use the goods between delivery and return in a defect-free condition, this has the value of the goods drawn from him reimburse uses. The customer must pay compensation for loss or further deterioration of the goods that was not caused by the defect and for the impossibility of handing over the goods that did not occur due to the defect in the period between delivery of the goods and return of the goods. The customer does not have to pay any compensation for the deterioration of the goods caused by the intended use of the goods. The obligation to compensate for the value does not apply to the return of a defective product in a warranty case,
a) if the defect that entitles you to withdraw only became apparent during the processing or transformation,
b) if Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk is responsible for the deterioration or the loss or if the damage would also have occurred at Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk,
c) if the deterioration or loss has occurred at the customer's premises, although he has observed the care that he uses in his own affairs.
(6) The customer's obligation to pay damages in the event of a breach of the obligation to return the goods for which the customer is responsible is based on the statutory provisions.
(7) The customer can choose to withdraw from the contract or reduce the purchase price if the repair or replacement delivery does not lead to a contractual condition of the product within a reasonable period of time.
(8) In addition, there may also be claims against the manufacturer within the framework of a guarantee granted by the manufacturer, which are based on the corresponding guarantee conditions.
(9) The statutory warranty of Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk ends two years after delivery of the goods. The deadline starts once goods are received.

The manufacturer's guarantee is a guarantee from the manufacturer and does not represent the assumption of a guarantee by Versa-Suite by Dieter Merk.
