The right of withdrawal is not valid on the Amri cosmetics Hydra Cream lipgloss.

After the consumer has made known that he wishes to make use of his right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods have been returned on time, for example by means of a proof of posting.
- If, after the expiry of the periods specified in paragraphs 2 and 3, the customer has not made known his intention to make use of his right of withdrawal or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur, the purchase is a fact.

- If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, he shall bear no more than the cost of returning the goods.
- If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after the withdrawal. The condition for this is that the product has already been received by the merchant or that conclusive proof of the return can be provided.
Article 8 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
- The entrepreneur can exclude the consumer from the right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal applies only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in good time before concluding the agreement.

- The trader guarantees that the products and/or services fulfill the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or serviceability, and the statutory provisions and/or government regulations that existed on the date that the contract was concluded. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
- A guarantee provided by the trader, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer may assert against the trader on the basis of the contract.
- Any defects or wrongly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 4 weeks of delivery. The products must be returned in their original packaging and in new condition.
- The entrepreneur's guarantee period corresponds to the manufacturer's guarantee period. However, the trader is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for each individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
- The guarantee does not apply if:
-
- The consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products himself or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
- The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have otherwise been handled carelessly or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging;

In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
- All delivery periods are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any delivery dates mentioned. Exceeding a term does not entitle the consumer to compensation.

- If delivery of an ordered product turns out to be impossible, the entrepreneur will make an effort to provide a replacement article. The fact that a replacement article is being delivered will be reported in a clear and comprehensible manner, at the latest upon delivery.
