Consequences of cancellation
If you cancel this contract, we are obligated to repay all payments that we have received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of any additional costs resulting from your having chosen a delivery method other than the cost-effective standard delivery offered by us), without delay and no later than within 14 days of the day on which we received the declaration of your cancellation of this contract. We will employ the same means of payment for this repayment as that chosen by you for the original transaction, unless something different has been expressly agreed with you; in no case will you be charged for this repayment. We may refuse to make the repayment until we have received the returned goods or you provide evidence that you have sent the goods back, depending which point is earlier.
You must send back or hand over the goods immediately and in any event no later than within 14 days of the day on which you notify us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline will be deemed met if you return the goods prior to the expiry of the period of 14 days. You will be liable for the direct costs of the return of the goods.
You will only be liable for any decrease in value of the goods if this decrease in value is due to actions taken by you that were not necessary in order to examine the quality, features or functionality of the goods.
End of the cancellation policy
The right of cancellation does not apply to contracts for the supply of goods produced according to your specifications or clearly tailored to personal needs or which, by reason of their quality, are not suitable for return or may spoil quickly or whose expiration date would be exceeded, or for the delivery of sealed goods that for health or hygiene reasons are not suitable for return where the seal on the packaging has been broken after delivery.

We do not recommend shipping live insects when outside temperatures are under 0°C and above 25°C – deliveries requested under these circumstances are at your own risk. Orders are processed as quickly as possible in all weather conditions. If necessary, orders can be postponed if, at the time of your order, you consider the temperature to be unsuitable. Please contact us by telephone or e-mail for a no-obligation consultation. Shipping to DHL parcel stations is not recommended because they are not temperature-controlled.

To facilitate processing, please only use the parcel stamps and complaint forms from fauna topics for return shipments. Costs incurred from retuning products with a value of up to €40 are to be paid by the customer. All costs incurred from DHL delivery failure because of a fault on the part of the customer, such as the provision of an incorrect address, or failure to collect the goods on time resulting in their return shipment, are to be paid by the customer in addition to possible transaction fees.
