1. Preview
All contractual agreements entered into by SARAD GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “SARAD”) and customers are subject to the Terms & Conditions applying at the time the contract takes effect.
2. Contracting Parties
Placing orders on https://radonmonitor-shop.com is limited to customers
i) whose billing address and shipping address are registered in two different countries (international delivery), or
ii) whose billing address AND shipping address are both registered in a country SARAD does NOT operate in. This means that customers providing a billing AND shipping address located in Germany are prevented from placing orders on https://radonmonitor-shop.com.
All contractual agreements entered into will be between SARAD and individual customers (herein referred to as “the Consumer”) who must be 18 years of age and legally competent. If SARAD should unintentionally enter into a contractual agreement with an individual legally incapable to enter contracts, any contractual agreement between the two parties becomes void with immediate effect.
Placing an order on https://radonmonitor-shop.com requires the Consumer to register/set up a SARAD online account (i.e. user profile). Consumers must register under their own name, and complete all mandatory fields correctly.
3. Contract
By submitting an order online (i.e. after selecting the product(s), completing the SARAD online order form and confirming the order by clicking the submit button), or by placing an order in the form of an email, fax, letter or phone call, Consumers issue a legally binding purchase offer which will need to be accepted by SARAD.
SARAD reserves the right to refuse orders. If SARAD should reject an order, the Consumer will be notified immediately.
A legally binding contract will be formed between SARAD and the Consumer at the time of SARAD formally confirming the order, or at the time the Consumer has received the goods. N.B. Any automated messages sent by SARAD to Consumers in response to Consumers submitting their orders do not constitute a formal order confirmation.
4. Right to Cancel and Return Policy
4.1 Right to Cancel
The Consumer can cancel an order without giving a reason within a time period of fourteen (14) days by notifying SARAD in writing, sending a letter, fax or email to

Orders may be cancelled within a time period of fourteen (14) days, commencing on the day the Consumer, or a representative acting on behalf of the Consumer (excluding members of postal or carrier services), has received the goods.

4.2 Cancellation & Refunds
SARAD shall refund all payments (including delivery charges) received from the Consumer within a time period of thirty (30) days after the Consumer has cancelled an order. However, SARAD will not refund any delivery costs incurred by the Consumer opting for delivery methods other than those offered by SARAD at the time the order was placed. Unless otherwise agreed, SARAD will issue refunds by using the same payment method the Consumer has chosen when paying for the order. If the original payment method is not an available option (e.g. if the order was paid for using CoD), SARAD shall refund the Consumer by either arranging for a bank transfer (BACS) or by issuing a crossed cheque. Furthermore, refunding the Consumer shall not incur any charges.
SARAD shall have the right to refuse to issue a refund until any goods dispatched under the terms of the contract have been returned.
