Cancellation policy
Right of cancellation
You have the right to cancel your declaration of contract without stating a reason within two weeks in written form (e.g. letter, fax, email) or if the goods were left to you before expiring date by returning the goods. The stated period of time starts at the earliest receipt of this information in writing but not before receipt of the goods by the recipient (according to perseverative delivery of similar goods the stated period of time does not start before the receipt of the first part-delivery) and not before the performance of our duty to inform according to Para. 312 c (2) BGB in connection with Para. 1 (1), (2) and (4) BGB-Info V as well as our obligations according to Para. 312E (1) Sentence 1 BGB in connection with Para. 3 BGB-Info V. To comply with the stated period of time it is sufficient to dispatch the cancellation of goods in time. The cancellation has to be sent to:
Joint Forces Media GmbH
Köpenicker Str. 178
D-10997 Berlin
GERMANY
Effects of cancellation
In the event of an effective cancellation, the mutually provided goods and services shall be returned and, if applicable, any benefits enjoyed (e.g. interest) surrendered. In case you cannot return the received goods and services in total or in part or only in deteriorated condition, you have to, if applicable, provide compensation insofar. This does not apply for the delivery of goods, if the deterioration of the goods is due exclusively to their inspection – as would have been possible for you in a retail shop for example. Incidentally you can avoid the obligation for compensation by not using the goods, as if they were your property, and by refraining from doing anything that could impair their value. Goods that can be dispatched as parcels have to be returned. You shall be responsible for the return costs if the merchandise supplied complies with the goods ordered and if the price of the merchandise to be returned does not exceed the amount of 40 euro – in case the price does not exceed the amount of 40 euro or – if you have at the moment of cancellation not yet provided for the payment or a contractually agreed part payment. In any other case you will not incur any charges for the return of goods. Goods that cannot be returned as parcels will be collected from your address.
In case of returns from abroad and irrespective of the order value, the contractual partner shall be responsible for the costs if the merchandise supplied complies with the goods ordered.
Obligations for refunding of payments must be fulfilled by you within 30 days. The period of time starts after dispatch of your declaration or of the goods.
In case of a lawful exercise of the right of cancellation by the contractual partner, Joint Forces Media GmbH will refund payments already effected within 20 working days after receipt of the declaration of cancellation or the merchandise.
End of the cancellation policy
Section 6 Reservation of ownership
The goods forming the subject of the contract remain the property of Joint Forces Media GmbH until they have been paid for in full.
Section 7 Advice concerning the handling of textiles
Printed textiles have to be washed turned inside out at 40°C at the most. Do not iron the print and do not put the textiles into the dryer. Improper handling may cause damage to the textiles and we do not issue a guarantee in this case.
Section 8 Advice concerning the acceptance of parcels
Pay attention to the parcel's condition. Do not accept damaged parcels because if you do, you automatically declare the faultless condition of the parcel.
Section 9 Concluding provisions
(1)If individual provisions of the contract between Joint Forces Media GmbH and the party to the contract including these general terms and conditions of business are or become in part or in full invalid, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(2)The applicability of statutory law which is not excluded or supplemented by these general terms and conditions of business is not affected.
(3) Errors and omissions expected.
(4) Special offers, remnants and limited editions can only be delivered while stock lasts.
(5) Because we are dependent on our suppliers – this applies especially to media – we cannot guarantee the actual availability of the offered product. The same reason restrains us from making covenants concerning the delivery time.
(6) A contract of purchase only materialises after we confirm the shipment of the ordered item. The confirmation of the receipt of order does not constitute the acceptance of a contract of purchase.
(7) The Federal Republic of Germany's legislature is imperative. Validity of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) is excluded.
(8) Exclusive jurisdiction is Berlin. However, we are authorised to sue the customer at his place of residence.

All personal data is transferred using a 128 bit SSL encription.
