The offers on this website represent a non-binding invitation to the customer to order products and / or services from Starlings. With the order via this website including the acceptance of these terms and conditions, the customer submits a legally binding offer to conclude a contract.

Unless otherwise noted, there is no right of return or withdrawal. The seller can also accept the offer by means of an order confirmation sent in writing (letter) or electronically (email).

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

Orders are only delivered after receipt of full payment (exception: delivery against invoice) and if the goods are available. If, after the conclusion of the contract, it turns out that the ordered goods cannot be delivered or cannot be delivered in full, Starlings is entitled to withdraw from the entire contract or from part of the contract.

Starlings is entitled to refuse to accept the order, for example after checking the customer's creditworthiness.

The payment options specified in the order process are available to the customer.

Starlings reserves the right to exclude customers from individual payment options without giving reasons or to insist on prepayment.

6. Delivery, inspection obligation, notification of defects and return

Deliveries are sent by post or courier service to the address specified by the customer in the order. Invoices are sent by email or post. With dispatch, the benefit and risk are transferred to the customer, as far as this is legally permissible.

If the delivery cannot be delivered or if the customer refuses to accept the delivery, Starlings can terminate the contract after notification of the complaint by email to the customer and setting a reasonable deadline and invoice the costs for the activities.

The customer is obliged to check the delivered goods immediately after receipt of the delivery and to report any defects for which Starlings guarantees immediately in writing by letter or email to the address in the advertisement.

Returns to Starlings are made for the account and risk of the customer. The customer must return the goods in their original packaging, complete with all accessories and together with the delivery note and a detailed description of the defects to the return address given by Starlings.

If the inspection by Starlings shows that the goods do not have any detectable defects or that these are not covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, Starlings can invoice the customer for the activities, the return or any disposal.

7. Right of withdrawal

The customer is granted a right of withdrawal for 10 calendar days after receipt of the goods. The deadline is deemed to have been met if the customer sends the written cancellation by email (starlingslove@gmail.com) or letter (Starlings, Aeschstrasse 1, 8127 Forch) to Starlings within the deadline

The revocation does not require justification.

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

Returns to Starlings are made for the account and risk of the customer. Any payment that has already been made will be refunded to the customer within 20 calendar days, provided that Starlings has already received the goods back or the customer can provide proof of dispatch.

Starlings reserves the right to demand appropriate compensation for damage, excessive wear and tear or loss of value due to improper handling and to deduct the decrease in value from the purchase price already paid or to invoice the customer.

No right of withdrawal is granted in the following cases:

If the contract has a random element, namely because the price is subject to fluctuations over which the provider has no influence.
If the subject of the contract is a movable item which, due to its nature, is not suitable for return;
If the subject of the contract is a movable item that is manufactured according to the consumer's specifications or is clearly tailored to personal needs;
If the contract is about digital content and this content is not made available on a fixed data carrier or if the contract must be fulfilled in full by both parties immediately;
If the contract is about a service and the contract has to be fulfilled in full by the provider with the prior express consent of the consumer before the withdrawal period has expired.
In the areas of accommodation, transport, delivery of food and beverages as well as leisure activities, if the provider undertakes to provide the services at a certain time or within a precisely specified period of time.
