Section 12 Voluntary right of return

In addition to your legal right to cancellation, Parfümerie Akzente GmbH provides a voluntary right of return of a total of 180 days after receipt of goods for all purchases made through use of en.parfumdreams.de, as long as you are a consumer under the terms of Art. 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB). With this right of return, you can also withdraw from the contract after the expiry of the cancellation period (see Consumer Information) by returning the goods within 180 days of receipt (beginning the day after you receive the goods) to Parfümerie Akzente GmbH, specifically to the address given at the end of this Section (1). Sending the goods on time is enough to comply with the deadline. Conditions for exercising this voluntary right of return are, however, that you return the goods complete, in their original condition, intact and in their original packaging.

Please send the items to:
Parfümerie Akzente GmbH
Meisenstr. 12

(3) The customer’s legal right to cancellation as well as the legal warranty claims remain unaffected by this right of return. Until the period for the statutory right of return expires, only the legal provisions specified there shall apply. In addition, the contractual (voluntary) right of return does not restrict your legal warranty rights, which remain unaffected.
