Informationen zum Widerrufsrecht

Gesetzliches Widerrufsrecht

Sie haben das Recht, den Vertrag innerhalb von 14 Tagen ohne Angabe von Gründen zu widerrufen.

Die Widerrufsfrist beträgt 14 Tage ab dem Tag, an dem Sie oder ein von Ihnen benannter Dritter, der nicht der Transporteur ist, die letzte Ware oder den letzten Posten oder das letzte Exemplar in Besitz genommen hat.

Um das Widerrufsrecht auszuüben, füllen Sie auf unserer Website unter „Meine Einkäufe" in „Mein Nutzerkonto" eine eindeutige Erklärung elektronisch aus und senden Sie sie ab. Wir werden Ihnen unverzüglich eine Bestätigung über den Eingang eines solchen Widerrufs auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger (z. B. per E-Mail) übermitteln.

Um die Widerrufsfrist einzuhalten, reicht es aus, dass Sie Ihre Mitteilung über die Ausübung des Widerrufsrechts vor Ablauf der Widerrufsfrist absenden.

Auswirkungen des Widerrufs

Wenn Sie diesen Vertrag widerrufen, erstatten wir Ihnen alle Zahlungen, die wir von Ihnen erhalten haben, einschließlich der Lieferkosten (mit Ausnahme der zusätzlichen Kosten, die entstehen, wenn Sie eine andere Art der Lieferung als die von uns angebotene günstigste Standardlieferung gewählt haben).

Wir können einen Abzug von der Rückerstattung für den Wertverlust der gelieferten Waren vornehmen, wenn der Verlust auf eine unnötige Behandlung durch Sie zurückzuführen ist.

Wir werden die Rückerstattung unverzüglich und nicht später als 14 Tage nach dem Tag vornehmen, an dem wir über Ihre Entscheidung, diesen Vertrag zu widerrufen, informiert wurden.

Für die Rückerstattung verwenden wir dasselbe Zahlungsmittel, das Sie für die ursprüngliche Transaktion verwendet haben, es sei denn, Sie haben ausdrücklich etwas anderes vereinbart; in keinem Fall werden Ihnen aufgrund einer solchen Rückerstattung Gebühren berechnet.

Wir können die Rückzahlung verweigern, bis wir die Waren wieder zurückerhalten haben oder Sie den Nachweis erbracht haben, dass Sie die Waren zurückgesandt haben, je nachdem, was eher eintritt.

Sie müssen die Waren unverzüglich und in jedem Fall spätestens 14 Tage ab dem Tag, an dem Sie uns über den Widerruf dieses Vertrags unterrichten, an Downtown Brown Books, Portland, Oregon, U.S.A., +1 (503) 719-5200, zurücksenden oder übergeben. Die Frist ist eingehalten, wenn Sie die Ware vor Ablauf der Frist von 14 Tagen zurücksenden. Sie müssen die direkten Kosten der Rücksendung der Waren tragen. Sie haften nur für einen etwaigen Wertverlust der Waren, der auf eine Behandlung zurückzuführen ist, die nicht zur Prüfung der Art, Eigenschaften und Funktionsweise der Waren erforderlich ist.

Ausnahmen vom Widerrufsrecht

Das Widerrufsrecht gilt nicht für:

1. Die Lieferung von Zeitungen, Zeitschriften oder Magazinen mit Ausnahme von Abonnementverträgen; und
2. Die Lieferung digitaler Inhalte, die nicht auf einem physischen Medium (z. B. auf einer CD oder DVD) geliefert werden, wenn Sie bei Ihrer Bestellung akzeptiert haben, dass wir mit der Lieferung beginnen können und dass Sie nach Beginn der Lieferung den Vertrag nicht mehr widerrufen können.

Purchases sent to US addresses are usually shipped on the next business day by USPS Media Mail. Priority delivery and International orders may require additional shipping, depending on the size of the item(s) purchased.

When you consent to our processing of your personal information for a specified purpose, you may withdraw your consent at any time and we will stop processing your data for that purpose.

What About Cookies?

• Approved third parties may also set cookies when you interact with DTBB on Abebooks and its affiliates. Third parties include Abebooks and its affiliates, search engines, providers of measurement and analytics services, social media networks, and advertising companies. Third parties use cookies in the process of delivering content, including ads relevant to your interests, to measure the effectiveness of their ads, and to perform services on behalf of DTBB and AbeBooks.

Does DTBB Share the Information It Receives?

• Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we're not in the business of selling our customers' personal information to others. DTBB shares customers' personal information only as described below, with Abebooks, and our affiliates

• When you purchase a book from DTBB on AbeBooks, Abebooks will transmit your personal data to DTBB for the purpose of processing the order.

• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the event that DTBB or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets. In this case your data is also subject to this Privacy Notice and the relevant data protection legislation.

*Protection of DTBB and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of DTBB, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit-risk reduction.

• Other than as set out above, you'll receive notice when personal information about you might be shared with third parties, and you'll have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure Is Information About Me?
