Setting off and right of retention

You possess a right of set off should your counter claims be justifiable on legal grounds or acknowledged by us in writing.

You are able to exercise your right of retention only when the claims arise from the same contractual relationship.

Warranty (liability for defects)

Should there be a defect in the object purchased, then Coto Studios / Gerdesmeyer Krohn GbR is liable for material damage in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.

Liability

We have unlimited liability for damage to life, body and health in accordance with legal stipulations that are caused by a negligent or intentional breach of our obligations and those of our representatives or our sub contractors as well as for damage related to liability covered by the law of product liability. We are liable for damages not included in sentence 1 caused through intentional or gross negligent breaches of contract as well as malice by us, our legal representatives or sub contractors in accordance with the legal regulations. In this case liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable and usually occurring damages insofar as we, our legal representatives or our sub contractors have not acted intentionally. We are also liable to the extent of the guarantee of quality issued by us in respect of the goods or parts of the same. We are only liable for damage incurred due to a lack of a quality guaranty but not directly occurring to the goods when the risk of such damage is clearly covered by the guaranty of quality.

We are also liable for damage caused by ordinary negligence in so far as it concerns a breach of contractual obligations, in cases where compliance is of particular significance for the fulfillment of the purpose of the contract. We are however only liable insofar as the damage is typically associated with the contract and is foreseeable.

Any more extensive liability is excluded without consideration of the legal nature of the claim enforced; this applies especially to tort claims or claims for compensation for wasted expenditure instead of performance.

Should our liability be excluded or limited then this also applies to the personal liability of our employees, workers, staff, representatives and subcontractors.

Right of Cancellation by the consumer

In so far as the customer is a consumer in accordance with § 13 BGB (German Civil Code) the following right of cancellation is applicable. In contrast a contractor is every natural or judicial person or legal partnership who, on conclusion of the contract, operates in a professional manner in a commercial or freelance capacity, see § 14 BGB.

Right of cancellation

You are able to cancel your order without providing reasons in writing (e.g. letter, fax, email) within a 14 day period of notice. The period of notice begins after receipt of the notice in written form, although not before receipt of the goods by the recipient (only after receipt of the first part delivery for repeat deliveries of the same goods) and also not before completion of our obligation of disclosure in accordance with article 246 § 2 in association with § 1 para. 1 and 2 EGBGB (Introductory Act to the German Civil Code) as well as obligations in accordance with § 312e para. 1 sentence 1 BGB in association with article 246 § 3 EGBGB. Returning the order of cancellation in good time preserves the right to the notice period.

The written cancellation is to be returned to Coto Studios / Gerdesmeyer Krohn GbR, Schanzenstrasse 38, 51063 Cologne, Germany. Alternatively, you can reach us by e-mail at hello@cotostudios.com

Consequences of cancellation

Should the cancellation be valid then the goods/payments received by both sides are to be returned and if necessary any benefit of use (e.g. interest) is to be surrendered. Should you not be in a position to return the goods received wholly or partially or only in a worse state than compensation for the value is, if required, to be provided. This does not apply to the surrender of goods if the deterioration of the item is based solely on an examination that would normally be possible in a retail outlet. Moreover, the obligation of compensation for deterioration caused by customary usage of the item can be avoided by not making use of the item as if it were your own property and avoid doing anything that might affect its value. Items suitable for sending by packet post are returned at our risk. You bear the costs of returning the item. Obligations for the refund of payments need to be fulfilled within 30 days after returning your declaration of cancellation. The notice period begins for you with the return of the declaration of cancellation or the return of the item and for us with the receipt of the item.
