GENERAL TERMS and CONDITIONS ("Conditions") of FINESS Software UG (with limited liability)
Please read this General Terms and Conditions carefully. You agree with the sale of the order of a product with these "Conditions".

1. SCOPE and APPLICATION 
1.1. These conditions apply to all purchases of products (including, without limitation, hardware and/or software) ("Products") which are sold through this website ("Site") by: 
(a) us, the Seller, FINESS Software UG, Mörchinger Str. 53m, 14169 Berlin, Germany (references to "us", "we" or "our" being construed accordingly), to 
(b) you, the purchaser (references to "you" or "your" being construed accordingly). 
1.2. By placing an order on this site you agree to abide by these conditions.

2. Instruction to right to revocation (only for consumers) 
2.1. Right to revocation: as a consumer, you will have a legal “cooling off period” during which you may revoke your order for any reason without statements of reasons. This period is up to two weeks and commences not earlier than delivery of this instruction. In case of delivery of a physical product this period starts with delivery of the product. The right to revocation will be treated as exercised on the date of posting the notice of revocation or the date of dispatching the returned product. All revocation notices must be in text form (e.g. mail, fax, e-mail) and have to be addressed to: FINESS Software UG, Mörchinger Str 53m; 14169 Berlin, Deutschland 
2.2. PLEASE NOTE: you have no right to revocation 
2.2.1. Where you order software, where you have unsealed the software. 
2.2.2. Where you order bespoke or customised products made specifically to your order or your needs or can not be returned because of their nature, e.g. download products. 
2.3. LEGAL CONSEQUENCES: If you exercise the above right to revocation, you are required to return the relevant products to us including fruits thereof and we are required to reimburse your prepayments including fruits thereof (e.g. interests). If you are not able to return the products or if the products are defective, you are required to pay compensation. This does not apply to products, which deterioration is due solely to the inspection of the products – like you would do it in shops. You may prevent yourself from having to pay compensation for damaged products, if you do not make use of the products in your possession and if you take reasonable care of the products in your possession. You have to bear the costs of returning the products, unless your order has a value of more than 40 EUR. In case your order has a value of more than 40 EUR, we will only bear the costs of returning the products, if you had already made payment or part contractual part payments by the time of revocation. Where wrong products have been delivered to you, we will bear the costs of returning the products regardless of the value of your order. Any compensation payments for damaged products have to be made by you within 30 day after you have given your declaration of revocation. The product must be returned to the return address stated on the delivery note that was accompanied with the product. 
2.4. PLEASE NOTE: Such right to revocation, where you order services, terminates if those services commence with your agreement before the cooling off period expires (e.g. download products). If you require more information on your rights, you should contact customer support.
