If you are unable or partially unable to restitute the merchandise to us or can only restitute it in a deteriorated condition, then you have to insofar compensate for its value where applicable. This does not apply if the deterioration is exclusively due to examining the merchandise – as for instance in a retail store – or putting the merchandise to its intended use. Incidentally, you can avoid deteriorated conditions by not acting as if the product is part of your belongings and refrain from anything that could decrease the products value.
