In the event of unavailability of a product after placing an order, Christoph Rumpf will inform the customer by e-mail as soon as possible, offering either to order another product presented on the website as a replacement, or to cancel the order without charge.
 Christoph Rumpf does not incur any liability in case of stock shortage or unavailability of products for orders not yet accepted by Christoph Rumpf.
 Christoph Rumpf reserves the right to change at any time and without notice the Products offered on the Site.
While every effort is made to ensure that the colour and design of the Products whose photos are displayed on the Site are faithful to the original Products, variations may occur, particularly due to technical limitations in rendering colours on the customer's computer equipment. Consequently, Christoph Rumpf cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies in the photographs or graphic representations of the Products shown on the website.
 Christoph Rumpf reserves the right not to accept an order from a customer with whom it is in dispute over a previous order, or if Christoph Rumpf reasonably believes that the customer has breached these Terms and Conditions or engaged in fraudulent activity, or for any other legitimate reason.

5. Prices
The prices of the Products are indicated in Euros, including all taxes and excluding any customs duties for orders outside the EU, which remain the responsibility of the Customer. Except in the case of reimbursement (i) for the exercise of the right of withdrawal or (ii) for lack of conformity and hidden defects, Christoph Rumpf will not reimburse the VAT applied to purchases made on the Site (even if the buyer, after receipt, resends the Products to a country outside the European Union).

*Payment methods
By credit card (Visa, CB, Master-card, American Express): Payment is made on the secure website of Christoph Rumpf's banking partner.

By payment application: via Paypal.
This implies that no banking information concerning the customer is transmitted via the site www.christophrumpf.com
The payment is therefore secured by the partners in charge of managing financial transactions.

The order will be registered and validated as soon as the payment is accepted by the banking service.

6. Reservation of ownership
The products ordered remain the property of Christoph Rumpf until full payment is received by Christoph Rumpf. However, the customer assumes the risks (including loss, theft or damage) concerning the products delivered from the moment they are delivered to the address indicated in the order.

7. Terms of delivery
The amount of the preparation and shipping costs depends on the country and the total amount of the order. They will be detailed on the invoice.

Christoph Rumpf cannot be held responsible for any action and/or fees and/or taxes (which are the responsibility of the Customer) and/or delays due to customs services over which it has no control.
For all Products, the order is prepared for departure from the warehouses of Christoph Rumpf within a maximum of 3 working weeks (subject to availability of stocks and except for the particular case of Products sold "to order" for which the specific estimated delivery time is indicated on the form) from the confirmation of the order by e-mail. The average time between placing an order and its delivery is 8 to 15 working days. This is an average time noted.

As an exception to the above-mentioned times, "pre-order" operations may be subject to longer delivery times. In this case, the estimated delivery time for "pre-order" operations may be 6 to 9 months from the time of the order, as duly indicated in the purchasing process.
Exceeding the estimated delivery time indicated shall not give rise to any cancellation of the order, to any reduction in the price paid by the purchaser or to any payment of damages, it being specified that in certain particular cases (e.g.: products marketed as "pre-orders") the times indicated above may be longer. However, in the absence of delivery after 30 days from the estimated maximum time, the Customer will have the possibility of cancelling the order without charge. The sums paid by the Customer will then be refunded. In cases where it has the capacity, Christoph Rumpf reserves the right to offer the customer a product of equivalent quality and price to the initial product.
If the order reaches a certain volume, Christoph Rumpf may send them to the customer in several deliveries and/or several packages.
In general, all packages are sent via the company DHL. A delivery note to be signed is attached to the package. It is advisable to keep a copy of this document as it will serve as proof of delivery.
The Customer must check the conformity of the Products delivered at the time of delivery and before signing the carrier's delivery note. The Customer must indicate on this delivery note and in the form of handwritten reservations accompanied by his/her signature any anomaly concerning the delivery (damaged Product, etc.). This verification is considered to have been carried out as soon as the Customer, or a person of his/her choice, has signed the delivery note. No claim on the condition of the delivered package(s) will then be admissible. In case of reservations about the delivery, the customer must also confirm them to the carrier within 3 working days of receipt of the items and send a copy of this letter to Christoph Rumpf by email.

In case of incomplete address, wrong address, refusal of the package by the recipient or lack of information leading to an impossibility to deliver the product to the recipient in time, Christoph Rumpf can not be held responsible for the final quality of this delivery. If this lack of information leads to a second presentation to the recipient, Christoph Rumpf will be entitled to ask the customer for the costs of this second delivery. The customer is subject to the general conditions of delivery of the carrier which, in some cases, if not complied with, may affect the quality of the delivery.
Thus, in the event of the recipient's absence, according to the carrier's general delivery conditions, the product may be presented again and/or deposited in an agreed relay point and/or in front of the Customer's home and/or in a carrier's "sorting-waiting" centre and/or returned to Christoph Rumpf, which cannot be held responsible for any theft, loss, damage to the Products in relation to their delivery, and, in general, for the final quality of the delivery.
In the event that delivery is not possible and the product is returned to Christoph Rumpf by the carrier, Christoph Rumpf will not make a new delivery.
Any complaint regarding the delivery of the Products must be made within 14 working days of receipt of the item(s) under the same conditions as mentioned above. If it is decided that the product(s) must be returned to Christoph Rumpf, they must be returned in their original condition (packaging, accessories ...) and according to the following shipping conditions. The Customer must first contact the customer service via email.

 8. Right of withdrawal
