3. MANUFACTURER iSd MDR, DEPOSIT RUBBER SUPPLIER

In the case of an order for inlay blanks, materials and accessories, there is no medical device as defined by the MDR because the products are not intended for this purpose. The status of a medical device is only achieved through further processing and intended use by the purchaser.

We support our customers of inlay blanks, materials and accessories with regard to traceability and their obligation for documentation within the scope of our possibilities.

When ordering therapeutic shoes, orthoses and individualized or purpose-designated orthopedic insoles and other medical devices, the contractual partner undertakes to comply with the dealer obligations addressed to him as a dealer pursuant to Art. 14 Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices. Further regulations on Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices can be found here.

Agreed delivery periods are considered interrupted from this point on.

With the dispatch order an insurance up to a commodity value of 520.- € is automatically locked. For higher values of goods it is up to the contracting party to order a higher insurance against payment. Delays or hindrances in delivery for which we are not responsible shall release us from delivery without the contractual partner being able to assert any rights or claims against us as a result.

Shipment shall be at the expense and risk of the contractual partner, even if the latter does not bear the transport costs. Incoming orders/orders will be divided according to the respective delivery times ready for dispatch within 2 days (finished goods/stock items) and longer than 2 days (production orders). From a total order net value over 500 € we deliver free of packaging and shipping costs via the shipping company DPD. Our UXGO shoes are shipped via DHL.

In case of delayed payment of more than two weeks, all further claims of Perpedes GmbH become due for payment immediately.

In the event of a justified complaint, a replacement delivery shall be made or a credit note issued at our discretion. Any further liability for defects or possible claims for damages remain excluded.

14. RETURN OF SHOES, RETURN OF GOODS

Returns of shoes require in principle our prior consent. In this case, the contractual partner must provide us with proof of receipt of the goods.

A goodwill return made 3 months after the invoice date cannot be accepted for credit or exchange.

Goods may only be returned outside of warranty rights if this has been expressly agreed in advance. The return shall only be made against credit note, taking into account devaluations due to age and condition of the goods at the time of return as well as a processing discount of 10% of the agreed price of the goods. The costs for the return shall be borne by the contractual partner.

For custom-made and special products, especially for configured inlay blanks, a return is excluded in any case. This includes in particular combinations (mixing/joining) of standard articles.

During order entry and processing, we work carefully to prevent any infringement of property rights (patent, design rights, utility model rights and other property rights) of third parties.

All our service providers are obliged to use the data only for the above-mentioned purpose and in no case to pass them on to third parties.
