§ 2 Creation of contract of sale

Contracts shall be made only in German or English.

The customer's order shall constitute a binding offer to make a contract of sale for the goods that have been ordered. The contract shall come into existence when the Scoot & Ride GmbH accepts the order. In particular, the Scoot & Ride GmbH shall be entitled to check first whether it is possible to deliver the goods. The Scoot & Ride GmbH may express explicit acceptance in textual form, e.g. by sending a contract confirmation by e-mail, or implicitly through the fact that the Scoot & Ride GmbH has sent the goods for dispatch or begun performance of the service. A mere acknowledgement of receipt of the customer's order by the Scoot & Ride GmbH shall not constitute acceptance of that order. Once the contract has been made, the Scoot & Ride GmbH will not store it in a form that is accessible to the customer.

Consequences of return:

In the case of an effective return, both sides have to return the received benefits as well as any realized gains [e.g. advantages of use].

This does not apply if the reduction in value is the result of the sole examination of the item as would be possible in a retail shop.

 

Buyers can also avoid claims for compensation by not handling the item as their own property and not doing anything payment are to be fulfilled within 30 days. This period begins for  you with the posting of the returned item or return notification, for us upon receipt.
