New: Money transfers inside Germany only need the IBAN number if you use a SEPA transfer. International transfers need the IBAN and the BIC/SWIFT-Code. Very important information for international bank transfers: With international bank transfers from outside the EU make sure that the transfer is transacted as OUR transfer, i.e. all bank charges (transmitters and receivers) are carried by the transmitter. It is important that you use the IBAN number and the BIC/SWIFT code. Without this information your transaction might be rejected by our bank or higher fees will occur. According to European law transfers within the European Union will be treated like domestic bank transfers. Ask your bank for correct information. Please take also into account that international bank transfers take approx. 2-3 days. § 9 Packing and shipping expensesYour orders will be shipped with Deutsche Post AG/DHL or Hermes Versand by default. For online orders the shipping costs (including packing) are displayed in the check out forms. The shipping costs are calculated by weight, destination, and shipping speed.

We don’t grant any further warranties beyond the legal warranty regulations for the supplied goods or services. World of Swing is not responsible for defects, which were caused by you. This also applies to usual sign of wear. Your right of revocation remains unaffected. If the purchased item has a defect you can demand fulfillment (defect removal or replacement). If the fulfillment fails and the defect is not negligible, you can withdraw from the contract, reduce the purchase price or enforce compensation. As far as nothing else is stated below, other claims by you are excluded - no matter on what legal reasons they are based. World of Swing is therefore not responsible for damage, which did not occur at the delivered item; in particular World of Swing is not responsible for loss of profit or for other financial damages. As far as liability of World of Swing is excluded or limited, it applies also to the personal liability of employees, representatives, and executing assistants of World of Swing. The above limitation of liability does not apply, if the cause of the damage is based on intention or gross negligence or a personal injury is present. In addition it applies not if you make a claim based on §§ 1, 4 product liability law. If World of Swing negligently violates a contract-substantial duty, the obligation to indemnify for damages to property is limited to the typically accruing damage. The period of limitation is twenty-four months after delivery. An assurance of characteristics for goods or services does not exist. The description of the goods and the services do not represent an assurance of characteristics. World of Swing apart from that also does not assure characteristics in the online shop.
