(2) By submitting the order in the web shop, you are issuing a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the goods contained in the shopping basket.

It serves purely for information that the order has been received by us. Declaration of acceptance of the offer of contract is provided by delivery of the goods or an express declaration of acceptance in the form of an order confirmation.

The goods supplied remain our property until full payment has been made. You are obliged to notify us immediately of attempts by third parties to access the goods supplied that are subject to retention of title.

Delivery of the goods and services ordered is by post or goods vehicle by us, our vicarious agents or a shipping company appointed by us.

(3) Payment by Gift Voucher
Payment can also be made by using a valid bett1.de gift voucher. Mattresses, mattress toppers and slatted frames in special sizes, that are not part of our regular product range, are excluded from payment by bett1.de gift voucher.
If a customer has made a purchase by using a bett1.de gift voucher partially and is making use of the right of cancellation for consumers (§ 8) or the additional right of return for consumers (§ 9), the full purchase price is refunded proportionately to the bank account used for the purchase and via bett1.de gift voucher. If a customer purchases several products as part of a uniform purchase process proportionately via gift voucher and revokes this purchase partially or makes use of his right of return for only a part of the products purchased this way, the purchase price of the products concerned will first be refunded to the bank account used by the customer. Only when the amount paid via bank account was refunded completely, possible amounts left will be refunded via voucher. If the entire purchase was made by using a gift voucher, the refund will be made to a bett1.de gift voucher.
§ 8 Right of Cancellation for Consumers
If you order as a consumer – that is, as a natural person who concludes the contract for purposes which cannot be associated with either their commercial or independent professional activities – you have a right of cancellation, information about which is provided below:
Right of Cancellation for Consumers
You have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days without specifying the reasons.
The cancellation period is fourteen days from the date on which you or a third party appointed by you, but who is not the carrier, take(s) possession of the last item.
In order to exercise your right of cancellation, you must notify us (bett1.de GmbH, Tauentzienstr. 11, 10789 Berlin, Germany, tel.: +49 30 7673172-72, e-mail: [email protected]) of your decision to cancel this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or by e-mail). You can use the attached cancellation form, but this is not mandatory.
In order to comply with the cancellation period, it is sufficient to send off the notification of your intention to exercise your right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired.
Consequences of Cancellation
If you cancel this contract, we must refund to you all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of any additional costs that result from the fact that you have chosen a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days of the date on which we receive notification of your cancellation of this contract. We use the same payment method for this refund as the one you used for the original transaction, unless a different arrangement has been expressly agreed with you; you will not incur charges for this refund under any circumstances.
We shall collect the goods. If the collection address is located within the Federal Republic of Germany (except its islands), we shall meet the costs of returning the goods. If the collection address is located outside the Federal Republic of Germany or on a German island, you will bear the direct cost of the return delivery of the goods. For goods that cannot normally be sent by post due to their properties, the cost for a return delivery from an island or a Member State of the European Union not mentioned above is €115.00/item, from elsewhere abroad €159.00/item. You will have to pay for any loss in value of the goods only if this loss in value is the result of handling them in a way not required to check their quality, characteristics and functioning.
Cancellation Form for Consumers
(If you wish to cancel this contract, please complete and return this form.
(*) Delete as appropriate.
§ 9 Additional Right of Return for Consumers („100 Night Trial“)
If consumers purchase a BODYGUARD® Anti-Cartel-Mattress or a BODYGUARD® Box Spring Mattress, they have an additional right of return beyond the statutory cancellation period of 14 days. If you are not satisfied with the mattress delivered, you may demand return of it within 100 days of receipt by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. The additional right of return does not apply for the BODYGUARD® Kids Mattress.
We or a shipping company appointed by us will agree the collection date and place with you. The place of collection can be any place that is also a permitted place of delivery (see section 5). The collection is free of charge. For pick-up, the unpacked BODYGUARD® Anti-Cartel-Mattress or the BODYGUARD® Box Spring Mattress does not need to be returned in the original shipping box. Just wrap them in the foil we send you. If an agreed collection fails twice for reasons for which you are responsible, the additional right of return is deemed not to have been exercised. When we receive the mattress, we shall refund the purchase price to you. We bear the risk of loss of the mattress during its return.
In all cases, the additional right of return exists alongside your statutory right of cancellation and is without prejudice to any warranty claims. If you make use of your statutory right of cancellation (see above), the provisions about the consequences of exercising the statutory right of cancellation apply, notwithstanding the above regulations. Please see the cancellation notice (above) for further details.
§ 10 Warranty
The warranty rights are determined by the general statutory regulations, unless specified otherwise below.
§ 11 Offsetting
The customer has the right to offset only if the claim against which he wishes to offset has been legally established or is uncontested.
§ 12 Applicable Law & Place of Jurisdiction
(1) The contractual relationships between the provider and the customer are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Excepted from this are any mandatory consumer protection regulations of the country in which the consumer has his habitual place of residence. Application of the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods is excluded.
(2) The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship between the customer and the provider is the registered office of the provider if the customer is a merchant, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law.
§ 13 Severability Clause
If a provision of these General Terms & Conditions of Business is invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected.
§ 14 Reference to § 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG)
bett1.de GmbH does not participate in any dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer dispute resolution body.
§ 15 European Online Dispute Resolution (Complaints Procedure)
Online dispute resolution pursuant to Art. 14 (1) of the Regulation on Online Dispute Resolution (ODR-VO): The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which you will find under ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
