After completion of the order, the Seller shall transmit the address and e-mail address to the shipping partner. This is done both in the legitimate interest of the contracting parties and in the legitimate interest of the shipping service provider to avoid incorrect deliveries. The interests of the recipient that are worthy of protection are not affected by this. The recipient may object to this data processing, of which he has been informed by the Seller’s data protection notice, at any time both vis-à-vis the Seller and the shipping service provider.

If the buyer is a consumer and goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, the buyer shall complain about such defects to the delivery agent as soon as possible and contact the seller without delay. Failure to make a complaint or contact the seller has no consequences for the buyer’s legal claims and their enforcement, in particular the warranty rights, but serves to simplify the assertion of the seller’s claims against the carrier or the transport insurance.

If the Buyer concludes a contract with the Seller as a consumer using means of distance communication (e.g. telephone, fax, Internet, e-mail), the Buyer shall be entitled to a statutory right of revocation, about which the Seller shall instruct the Buyer separately.

Items will be delivered to the recipient’s address specified by the sender, but not necessarily to the recipient in person. Items sent to addresses with a central reception area will be delivered to this address. If the consignee refuses to accept the consignment or to pay the charges on acceptance, or if the consignment is excluded from carriage, or if the consignment has been undervalued for customs reasons, or if the consignee cannot be reasonably identified, the seller is entitled to release the consignment, dispose of it or sell it. The proceeds of any sale shall be credited to the buyer less any service charges and other administrative costs to be charged.

The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution on the Internet at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

This platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from online purchase or service contracts involving a consumer. The seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board. However, the seller prefers to clarify the buyer’s concern directly in a personal exchange. Please contact info(at)vitabasix.com directly if you have any questions or problems.
