Despite the fact that the online catalogue and e-commerce website are assembled with the utmost care, it is still possible that information may be incomplete, contains material errors, or is not up to date. Obvious mistakes or errors in the product selection are not binding for KD29. With respect to the accuracy and completeness of the provided information, KD29 is solely bound to obligation of means.

Article 5: Delivery and execution of the agreement

Any visible damage to an article or other deficiency in the delivery must be reported immediately by the Customer by email at management@rikvera.com.   

The risk due to loss or damage is transferred to the Customer at the time the goods have been physically received by the Customer (or a third party indicated by the Customer that is not the carrier). However, the risk transfers to the Customer upon delivery to the carrier when the carrier received the commission to transport the goods and this option was not offered by KD29.

Article 6: Right of withdrawal

The provisions of this article apply solely to Customers in their capacity as consumers purchasing articles online from KD29.

The Customer may use the attached template withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.

To comply with the withdrawal period, the Customer must send a notification of their decision to exercise the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

In any event, the Customer has no later than 14 calendar days from the day that they notify KD29 of their decision to withdraw from the agreement to send back or hand over the goods to KD29.  The Customer is on time if they have sent back the goods before the period of 14 calendar days has expired.

The direct costs for returning the goods shall be borne by the Customer.

If the returned product is reduced in value in any way, KD29 is entitled to hold the Customer liable and demand compensation for each depreciation in value of the goods that are due to the Customer’s use of the goods that goes beyond what is necessary in order to determine the nature, characteristics and operation of the goods.

If the Customer withdraws from the agreement, KD29 shall repay all payments received from the Customer up until that time including standard shipment costs with a maximum of 14 calendar days of the date that KD29 was notified by the Customer of their decision to withdraw from the agreement. For sales agreements, KD29 may wait on the reimbursement until all the goods have been sent back, or until the Customer has demonstrated that he has sent back the goods, whichever is earliest.

Any additional costs resulting from the Customer choosing another form of delivery other than by the cheapest standard delivery offered by KD29 will not be refunded.

KD29 shall repay the Customer using the same means of payment as the Customer used in the initial transaction, unless the customer explicitly agreed otherwise. In any case, the Customer will not be charged any costs in connection with such repayment.

The Customer may not exercise the right of withdrawal for:

the delivery of goods that are clearly destined for a specific person (signed books)
