1.2 education for the customer

Furthermore, we point out that the installation of additional electronics (tuning chip) or software programming in motor vehicles has consequences.
These are:

• the installation of additional electronics (tuning chip) or programming of the control unit will invalidate the operating permit for the vehicle
• The operation of the vehicle leads to the loss of insurance coverage on public roads without a license
• the operation of a vehicle on public roads without adequate insurance is a criminal offense
• the installation of the additional electronics (tuning chip) or programming of the control unit (software tuning) leads to the cancellation of the warranty claims against the seller as well as the warranty claims against the manufacturer.

Consequences of withdrawal:

In the case of an effective cancellation, the services received on both sides must be returned and, if applicable, rights of use must be surrendered.

If you can not give us back the received performance in whole or in part or only in a deteriorated condition, you may have to pay us compensation for the value.
This does not apply to the surrender of goods if the deterioration of the item can only be attributed to its examination – as it would have been possible for you in a shop, for example.
Incidentally, you can avoid the obligation to pay compensation by not using the item as your property and refraining from anything that affects its value. Transportable items are to be sent back.
You are responsible for the direct costs of returning goods that can be shipped as well as the direct costs of returning non-parceled goods. The cost of non-parcels is estimated at a maximum of approximately EUR 30.00.
