§ 9 Right of withdrawal
The purchaser can, on their part, withdraw from the Agreement in writing (also via email) or by returning the goods within two weeks after receipt of the goods. For compliance with the withdrawal period, it shall suffice if the declaration of withdrawal or return of the goods, was sent within the 14-day period. The costs for returning the goods shall be borne by the purchaser.
A right of withdrawal shall not exist for audio or video recordings (e.g. CDs, video cassettes, DVDs) or software, which has been unsealed by the purchaser. This also includes services that were delivered online (e.g. software to download).
Please note that Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH can retain any reduction of value caused by use of the goods.
§ 10 Set-off, retention
The purchaser is only entitled to the right to set-off, if their counterclaims have been finally determined or are acknowledged by Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH. Furthermore, exercising the right of retention is only authorised in so far as their counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
The statutory rights of retention shall additionally apply to consumers according to the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG).
§ 11 Retention of title
The delivered goods remain the property of Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH until payment is made in full.
§ 12 Liability for defects
Should the purchased goods be defective, the purchaser can request supplementary performance (remedying of defects or replacement delivery). If the supplementary performance fails, the purchaser can withdraw from the Agreement where the defect is considerable, reduce the purchase price or assert a claim for compensation. The assignment of these claims by the purchaser is excluded.
Unless specified otherwise in the provisions below, further claims on the part of the purchaser - irrespective of the legal grounds - are excluded. Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH is therefore not liable for damages not incurred on the delivery item itself; in particular, Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH is not liable for loss of profit or other financial losses of the purchaser. To the extent that the liability of Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH is excluded or limited, this shall also apply for the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
The above limitation of liability shall not apply if the cause of damage is based on intent or gross negligence or in case of bodily injury. Nor does it apply if the purchaser asserts claims on the basis of the Product Liability Act.
Insofar as Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH negligently breaches an essential contractual obligation, the obligation to pay compensation for property damages shall be restricted to the damage that typically occurs.
If the supplementary performance takes place by means of a replacement delivery, the purchaser is obliged to return the initially delivered goods to Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH within a period of 30 days. If the goods are not delivered to Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH within this period, Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH is authorised to demand compensation for the initially delivered goods and to debit this compensation via the named payment method.
The period of defect warranty shall be twenty four months, calculated from the delivery date.
