However, any order confirmation by GoSt-Berefoots Ltd.. does not constitute a legally binding contract: the contractual agreement becomes legally binding at the time you have received the items you have ordered from GoSt-Berefoots Ltd., and at the time the services you ordered have been provided by GoSt-Berefoots Ltd..
 

2. Purview

2.1 The present Terms & Condition shall apply to all claims asserted by either you or GoSt-Barefoots as a result from a contract between the two parties.

1. Terms & Conditions for Individual Services, superseding;
2. the present General Terms & Conditions, superseding;
3. the warranty conditions;
4. Statutory Rule

4. Object of The Contract

4.1 GoSt-Barefoots shall deliver the item(s) ordered by you and provide the service(s) requested by you and agreed to between the both parties, respectively.

5. Cancellation Policy / Cancellation

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).

To cancel your order, please contact:

GoSt-Barefoots Ltd.
Buchholzer Weg 17
41189 Mönchengladbach
Germany

Phone: +49 (0) 2166 99 811 44
E-Mail: revocation@gost-barefoots.com

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 originally unpaid 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.

7. Limited Availability of Items or Services

7.1 In the case of items or services not being available at GoSt-Berefoots Ltd. any longer at the time your order has been received, GoSt-Berefoots shall reimburse any payment you made. GoSt-Berefoots Ltd. reserves the right to offer you items and services matching the quality and price of the originally order.

8.1 The online store offers various shipping service providers and options, which can be freely selected by the customer. During the order process the shipping carrier (DHL, UPS, etc.) and the preferred service (standard, premium, express, etc.) can be chosen before placing a binding order, the resulting total is indicated.

8.2 For all countries and purchases over 500 € (including VAT) and up to 4 kg, no shipping costs will be charged! However, if such orders can not be successfully completed (for example, returns), the original shipping costs will be deducted from the refund. For the return of the goods to GoSt-Barefoots the customer bears the costs (from abroad including customs clearance and re-import to Germany). If the original order was free shipping, re-shipping will be charged. If shipping was charged for the original order, re-shipping will be free of charge. Every order can only once be shipped  free of charge. Thereafter, every further shipment (eg exchange) is chargeable and a return is no longer possible or leads to a credit.

8.3 After completion / assembling of the ordered product (on average 2-4 days after placing an order), the delivery time frame is only 2 to 4 working days nationally and internationally (exceptions are islands and very remote areas). Nationally DHL Premium (normal shipping), DHL Express and various UPS services can be chosen. Internationally GoSt-Barefoots ships only with DHL Express, alternatively with UPS (except to private addresses in Russia). Both companies work without additional shipping companies in the respective destination country and also ensure a fast and smooth customs clearance and the subsequent delivery by own staff. Even worldwide, express shipments are very reliable and within just a few days at the customer.

8.4 GoSt-Barefoots shall ensure a smooth and timely delivery of the items ordered. If items that form  part of a delivery are not available for immediate dispatch, GoSt-Barefoots will split the order into separate deliveries, with the items shipped at the earliest possible time and with no postage costs incurred.
