Section 1 - Returns
Returns from Germany
For returns within Germany, the easiest way is to use the return slip included with the shipment and to instruct DHL (Deutsche Post) to handle the return. The package can simply be dropped off at any post acceptance point of Deutsche Post or at a post office. Returns from a German address are free of charge for you.
Returns from abroad
For returns from outside Germany, you can instruct any logistics service provider of your choice; unfortunately, we cannot provide a return slip. We do not cover the costs for the return.
Exchanges
Unfortunately, we cannot offer exchanges within an order. Please simply return the unwanted items to us and reorder the desired items or, for example, the desired colour or size alternative in our online shop.
Notes
For a smooth process of a return/a withdrawal, please observe the following notes:
1) What should I use to package the return?
Please use the original packaging for the return if possible. You may have to bear the costs for replacing sales packaging that is part of the goods.
2) Which items are excluded from the right of withdrawal?
Items that are custom-made to meet personal needs (e.g., rackets strung according to your specifications), goods that are not suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons, as well as services, are excluded from the right of withdrawal. An exceptional return of such items is only possible with our prior consent.
3) May I use products before returning them?
If you return goods that have been used beyond the necessary examination of the functionality and properties of the product, you are liable to compensate us for the reduction in the quality of the goods and/or for restoring the original condition.
To avoid a compensation obligation, you should only return unused, unworn, and preferably original packaged goods to us.
4) May I also return goods as a trainer or business owner?
We grant the right of withdrawal exclusively to consumers as defined in §13 BGB. There is no right of withdrawal for business owners, resellers, and trainers for goods ordered in the context of their professional self-employment or commercial activity.
Exceptions to this are only possible with our prior consent.
5) What should I do if I have lost the return slip?
If you have lost the return slip, please send the items you wish to return back to us using a parcel service of your choice. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a replacement return slip.
Please note that we do not accept unpaid shipments.
6) What else should I consider?
a) Please make sure to remove the shipping label before attaching the return slip. If both the shipping and return labels are scannable by DHL on the package, this can lead to significant delays in the return, as DHL cannot determine which label is valid. Simply crossing out the shipping label is not sufficient to make the barcode of the shipment unrecognizable.
b) Please do not send the return back to us unpaid – we will otherwise charge you for the additional fees incurred. A return with our return slip is not an unpaid shipment.
Section 2 - Refunds and Shipping Costs
1) Type of Refund
A refund of the invoice amount or a partial amount will be made
- for purchases on account or payment by advance payment to the bank account you provided
- for payment by credit card, the amount will be credited to your corresponding credit card account
- for payment by PayPal, the amount will be credited to your corresponding PayPal account
Deviations from this are not possible.
2) Free Shipping within Germany
Shipping is free (outgoing) within Germany for all deliveries where one or both of the following criteria are met:
- at least one of the retained items is marked in the shop with the addition "free shipping"
- the value of the retained items is over 150.-€
If neither of the two criteria is met after deducting returns, a shipping cost of 5.50€ for the outgoing shipment will be due.
The return of non-retained items is free of charge for you within Germany, regardless of this.
3) Free Shipping Abroad
Free shipping abroad is generally not available. Deviations from this can be found on our information page regarding shipping conditions.
4) Processing of Refunds
The refund will be processed as soon as all returned items have arrived and a check for integrity and original condition of the items has been completed. The time until the amount of the refund is credited can take up to 14 days.
Section 3 - Defective Items / Damaged Packages
1) Externally Damaged Packages
If a package arrives visibly damaged or repackaged, please report this immediately to the postman or delivery person and have the damage noted in the delivery person's scanner device. Only then should you sign.
If hidden damages (damages or partial loss) have occurred, please inform DHL within the complaint period of 7 calendar days from the day after delivery. This can also be done by having the package inspected at the post office.
2) Defective / Damaged Items
If an item from the shipment arrives damaged, please contact us immediately by email at the following address info@tennistown.de
The following information is essential:
- Order number or invoice number
- Email address and possibly a phone number where we can reach you
- Name and item number of the damaged product and possibly the size
- A brief description of the type of damage or defect
After you have contacted us, we will review your request and get back to you as soon as possible by email to inform you of the next steps and possibly coordinate with you.
Section 4 - Special Regulations
Test Rackets
Special regulations apply to test rackets. You, as the customer, will bear the shipping costs for the delivery of the test rackets amounting to 5.50€, and free shipping is not available.
The return can be made within Germany using the return slip included with the shipment and is free of charge for you in this case. The regulations for withdrawal do not apply to orders of test rackets. A detailed guide can be found on our homepage under the section Test Rackets.
