Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we must refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days of the day on which we received notice of your withdrawal from this contract. We will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction for this refund, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this refund. We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have sent the goods back, whichever is earlier.

You can also hand in your old electrical appliances free of charge at one of the municipal collection points. The acceptance of old appliances may be refused if, due to contamination, there is a risk to the health and safety of people.

Waste batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed by the old appliance must be separated from it before it is handed in.

On batteries containing harmful substances, you will also find the following information: Pb: battery contains lead – Cd: battery contains cadmium – Hg: battery contains mercury

Mandatory provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected by this choice of law.

11.3 If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with contracts between us and you.

General notes on the use of retrieval magnets and metal detectors

Magnets

Retrieval magnets are much stronger than ordinary magnets. So keep a good safe distance from all devices and objects that could be damaged or disturbed by magnetism. These include, among others: older televisions and computer monitors, credit and debit cards, computers, hard drives, floppy disks and other magnetic data carriers, video tapes, mechanical watches, hearing aids and loudspeakers. Modern mobile phones with a compass function and above all cardiac pacemakers can be disturbed by a large magnet or switched to test mode – be sure to keep a sufficient distance (at least 1 m).

Retrieval magnets do not only bring "friendly" iron objects to light! Ammunition of all kinds can also stick to them! Be sure to observe the legal regulations when searching and, if in doubt, have your find assessed by the local police or an explosive ordnance disposal service.

metal detectors

We expressly point out that metal detectors are used at your own risk. In particular, digging up ammunition, toxic substances or similar hazardous substances can cause considerable personal injury and damage to property. The volume of headphones must be adjusted individually by the user to suit their hearing; we therefore accept no liability for any hearing damage. Every detectorist should find out about the risks beforehand and behave accordingly.

Our metal detectors are not intended as aids for unauthorised excavations. They merely reflect the growing acceptance of modern electronic aids and the resulting opportunities and possibilities in the field of archaeological research.

Targeted searching for objects of cultural and historical significance generally requires a permit from the responsible authorities. In this context, be sure to observe the regulations and laws applicable in your country/federal state.
