CONDITIONS FOR REDEEMING A DISCOUNT CODE

General conditions:

• The discount code must be entered directly into the voucher field in the lower left corner of the shopping cart at the beginning of the order process.

• Each discount code can only be redeemed once per customer and order, unless otherwise stated.

• The combination with other discount codes or other reductions is not possible.

• A cash payment of the discount code is not possible, nor is a crediting of an already placed order. A discount code cannot be transferred to another customer either.

• The discount code is only applied to the value of the goods, not to the shipping costs. The discount code can also be limited to the purchase of certain goods.

• If a discount is granted on a percentage or total basis and is not limited to certain goods, it is always calculated proportionally on the entire shopping cart.

• The discount code must be redeemed within the specified period. The time of the order is decisive.

• An exchange of articles (e.g. for a different size, a different model) is unfortunately not possible at the moment. Please return the article as a return and order again via our online shop.



Minimum order value and return of goods:

The discount code may stipulate a minimum order value.

If the minimum order value is subsequently fallen short of by returning items, the discount will be forfeited. In this case the discount will be cancelled and the normal value of the remaining goods will be calculated. This discount code cannot be used by the customer for a repeat order.

If you return goods without falling below the minimum order value, you will be refunded the purchase price minus any discount that may have been taken into account. The return does not affect the calculation of the purchase price of the remaining goods, i.e. there is no redistribution of the discount.

WHAT ARE THE PAYMENT METHODS?

We accept payment by credit card, carte bleue (only France), PayPal, iDEAL (only Netherland).

Payment by credit card:
