AS the human race evolved, and nomadic tribes settled down in permanent abodes to form communities, the disposition of their rejected materials began to require special attention. It is recorded that Moses enjoined his people to carry all offensive and unclean matter outside of the camp and burn it. Garbage was thrown out on the fields, as still done in parts of Asia to-day, to be eaten by dogs or buzzards. All non decomposable and inoffensive waste was usually thrown on low areas or on the roads. Some of the streets in the oldest European cities have been gradually raised several feet by the rubbish dumped on them during centuries.
The rapid growth of modern cities, particularly since the develop ment of sanitary science had mastered the problems of water supply and sewerage, brought the refuse removal problem also into prominence. England led this progressive movement in starting works for such removal and disposal in its cities and towns. Germany followed, and advanced the subject in essential directions by its proverbial thorough ness in both theory and practice. France also followed the advance, and was interested chiefly in utilizing the valuable parts of the refuse.
America then took up the above experiences and, while trying most of the European methods, developed others, made possible by the greater wastefulness of its people and consequently by a greater per capita production of salable refuse.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
