The goods are carefully packaged and despatched and leave the premises of CREANDO in perfect condition. On receipt, the customer should immediately check the goods for damage. The forwarding agent or postal service and CREANDO must be advised of any damage to the packaging and/or the goods in writing immediately and a confirmation must then be sent in writing, otherwise the forwarding insurance loses its validity.

In the event of a valid cancellation, both parties must refund the services already received. If the customer can only return the received goods in a less than perfect condition, he/she must compensate CREANDO in full for the loss in value.

The customer shall bear the costs and risk of returning the goods unless the goods delivered do not correspond with the goods ordered.

CREANDO reserves the right to retain the payment already received for the goods until the goods are returned. The customer agrees that CREANDO may offset any demands resulting from loss of value or deterioration of the goods against the purchase price received.

The right of cancellation is excluded for contracts

• concerning the delivery of CDs unless they are returned unused and sealed in the original packaging;
• concerning the delivery of goods which were prepared in accordance with the customer's specifications
  (e.g. fine art prints, digital prints, other reproductions).

Otherwise CREANDO is authorised to keep the goods at the disposal of the customer for a period of 6 months. After this period, CREANDO is authorised to dispose of the goods without further ado and without refund.
