In connection with the distribution of batteries or the delivery of devices containing batteries, we are obliged to inform you of
the following:

Batteries must not be disposed of in household waste.

You can return used batteries that we carry or have carried as new batteries in our range either at your own expense to us
or free of charge at our dispatch warehouse (shipping address). Alternatively, you can dispose of the batteries at local
collection points.

As end users, you are legally obliged to return used batteries so that they can be recycled or disposed of properly.

Used batteries may contain pollutants that can harm the environment or your health if not stored or disposed of properly.
However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and can be recycled.

The symbols shown on the batteries have the following meaning:
The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin means that the battery must not be disposed of in household waste.

For batteries containing a certain mass of lead, cadmium or mercury, the following additions below the symbol of the
crossed-out wheeled bin indicate the respective pollutants:
Pb = Battery contains more than 0.004% lead by mass
Cd = Battery contains more than 0.002% cadmium by mass
Hg = Battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury by mass

Special notes on the sale of starter batteries
In connection with the distribution of starter batteries, we are obliged under § 19 BattDG to charge a deposit of
7.50 euros including VAT per starter battery if you do not return a used starter battery at the time of purchasing a new
starter battery, provided you are an end consumer. The deposit is not included in the purchase price and is shown next
to the final price on the item.

If you return a used starter battery to us that we carry or have carried as a new battery in our range in accordance with
§ 18 BattDG, we are obliged under the legal provisions to take it back free of charge and refund the deposit amount.

If we have issued a deposit token in accordance with § 19 para. 1 sentence 3 BattDG, the refund of the deposit upon
return of the used starter battery depends on the return of the deposit token.

The place of return is the address stated in the imprint.

Returning the used starter battery by post is not permitted due to the hazardous goods regulations.

Used starter batteries can alternatively also be disposed of free of charge at recycling centres and material recovery
facilities. The deposit charged by us will not be refunded by the public-law recycling centres and material recovery
facilities. However, you have the option there of having the return of the used starter battery confirmed on the deposit
token. Upon presentation of the confirmed deposit token, you will receive the battery deposit back from us. If no deposit
token has been issued, proof of return from the authorised collector is sufficient. In this case, the proof must not be
older than two weeks at the time of presentation.

Please note the above instructions
