By sending the order entered in the online order form, the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract, including these terms and conditions. Awa Books then sends an automatic order confirmation via email, which confirms that Awa Books has received the customer's offer. Orders placed are binding for the customer. Unless otherwise noted, there is no right of return or withdrawal.

 

The contract is concluded as soon as Awa Books sends a declaration of acceptance by email, in which the dispatch of the ordered products or services is confirmed.

 

Orders will only be delivered after full payment has been received and if the goods are available. If it turns out that the ordered goods cannot be delivered or not completely delivered, Awa Books is entitled not to accept or to execute the order or only partially. In such a case, Awa Books will inform the customer by email. If Awa Books has already received the customer's payment, the payment will be refunded to the customer.

The customer is granted a right of withdrawal for 14 calendar days after receipt of the goods. The deadline is deemed to have been met if the customer sends the written revocation by email or letter (address according to the imprint) to Awa Books within the deadline. The revocation does not require justification.

 

Exercising the right of withdrawal leads to the contract being reversed.
