Terms and Conditions

1. Scope

BatteryReturn is a B2B service for businesses that want to register used, old or defective manufacturer-original batteries for review. Compatible, third-party, OEM-replacement and aftermarket batteries are excluded.

Any deviating sender terms apply only if expressly confirmed in writing.

2. Inquiry and pre-screening

Submitting the form creates no acceptance commitment, binding terms or approval to ship.

BatteryReturn may request additional information about quantity, origin, model assignment, condition, packaging and safety status.

3. Shipping approval and safety

Batteries may only be shipped or handed over after explicit approval and in line with the communicated instructions.

Swollen, leaking, thermally damaged or otherwise safety-critical batteries must be disclosed in advance and require individual handling.

4. Review and suitability decision

After review, BatteryReturn or a named handling partner decides whether and to what extent further handling, acceptance or recovery is possible.

Public descriptions of the process do not create an obligation to accept specific quantities or conditions.

5. Possible purchase credit

Any purchase credit exists only for explicitly approved cases following technical and commercial review.

The individual offer may provide either a 20% discount or, alternatively, a €1 purchasing benefit per battery. Both variants are limited to the approved quantity and the same battery type named in the offer.

Different brands or battery types cannot be offset against each other. Therefore, 100 approved batteries of one type can create a benefit for no more than 100 batteries of the same type.

Benefit model, product scope, validity and crediting arise exclusively from the individual offer. An inquiry or shipment alone creates neither an entitlement nor a payout obligation.

6. Sender obligations

The sender confirms that the submitted information is accurate, every registered battery is manufacturer-original and the batteries originate from traceable business processes.

The sender remains responsible for correct declaration, safe interim storage until approval and compliance with transport rules on its side.

7. Liability

BatteryReturn has unlimited liability in cases of intent, gross negligence and injury to life, body or health.

For slightly negligent breaches of essential obligations, liability is limited to the typical foreseeable damage. Any further liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

8. Confidentiality and communication

Business and process information exchanged during an inquiry must be treated as confidential unless already public or legally required to be disclosed.

Legally relevant declarations require text form or comparable documented electronic communication.

9. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If the sender is a merchant or public-law entity, the place of jurisdiction is the operator's seat to the extent permitted by law.
