Preface / Our sustainable vision & strategy

Over the years and triggered by the well-known online platforms such as AMAZON, a very liberal cancellation practice has established itself in online trade. From our point of view, it makes it too easy for customers to return thoughtlessly or spontaneously made purchases in unlimited numbers back to the merchant and free of charge. In the meantime, the return rate of a parcel in online trade business has increased to an average of alomost 40% - millions, which in Germany alone, ultimately have to be paid by all online customers.

We put great importance on quality, sustainability and the conscious handling of natural resources. This also includes the avoidance of returns and associated costs for additional warehousing, shipping and logistics. In addition to the quality of our products, our extensive efforts regarding customer service in the run-up to an order has resulted in a return rate (cancellation of orders) being below 1%. Accordingly, our customer base has very similar beliefs - which we are very proud of!

Care with us for keeping it that way. We're just a service ticket or a phone call +49 (0)2166-9981144 away!

Paleos®Shipping & Options

Nevertheless, despite all efforts, there are a few orders that clearly show that it can not be a well-considered purchase at best. A collective order of multiple main items from a new customer, who does not know the Paleos®, but orders different variants and/or quantity and even without size verification, is such an example. Upon receipt of a corresponding order we will contact the customer, but we reserve the right not to accept the order, to cancel it and to refund the amount already paid.

As a new customer, please get to know one product first before you decide to order more items. On request we gladly exchange a main item for a different size or model. In case you do not like what you received from us, you of course can return it and you will be refunded (less eventual shipping costs).


5. Cancellation Policy / Revocation

5.1 Purchase: Even without stating reasons, the customer can cancel his order within fourteen (14) days, in text form (for example letter, fax, e-mail) or by returning the goods. The period begins after receipt of this instruction in text form, but not before receipt of the goods at the customer. To maintain the cancellation period, the timely dispatch of the goods is enough.

5.2 Financing / Instalment: For certain countries PayPal PLUS offers at checkout to pay by purchase on account and instalment. As all payment methods of PayPal PLUS, also these are exclusively handled by and at PayPal. For GoSt-Barefoots all purchases via PayPal PLUS are regular purchases and the Cancellation Policy described under 5.1 applies analogously.

5.3 The right to cancel does not apply to products that have already been exchanged, second hand items, offer goods or custom-made items – items which are tailored to your own specifications (differing from the respective standard item).

5.4 In the case of an effective cancellation, the received goods are to be returned within fourteen (14) days. The period begins with sending the revocation. The deadline is met if the customer sends the goods before the expiration of the period of fourteen days.

Providing the items are returned complete (including all accessories, if applicable) and in mint condition, you will receive a refund within fourteen (14) days. Items returned incomplete, damaged or in used condition will lead to an accordingly revised refund, to compensate for the depreciated value. In particularly extreme cases, we reserve the right to refuse the exchange or return. However, this does not affect your right to examine and test the delivered items upon receipt, i.e. as you would in a store.

“Legal position according to the ECJ (EuGH): For everyday objects such as shoes or garments, the respective suitability can already be determined by a one-time try-on in the domestic area. Accordingly, it is not "necessary" within the meaning of §357 (7) no. 2 BGB to test the acquired object in all circumstances in which its use is intended. The permissible suitability test is limited here to the assessment of the visual impression and the determination of the individual fit. A "wear" of shoes in everyday life or a "road suitability test" for shoes always exceeds the limit of testing.”

We only accept returns in our original packaging! The customer bears the immediate costs of returning the goods.

5.5 Obligations to reimburse payments (minus the original shipping costs) must be fulfilled within (14) days. The period begins with the sending of your declaration of revocation or of the items, for us with the receipt of the goods.


End of revocation.
