Roy Mankovitz (1941-2011) was a U.S. entrepreneur, rocket scientist, lawyer, inventor, nature-based illness prevention researcher, and author. Born in New York City, Mankovitz graduated with a degree in engineering science from Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, and from the University of LaVerne College of Law with a juris doctor degree. He was a member of the California and Federal Bars, and a licensed patent attorney. Mankovitz joined Rocketdyne, then a division of North American Aviation, where he designed and developed engine control systems for Gemini and Apollo spacecraft and the Lunar Descent engine, and developed digital solenoid valve drivers that enabled the control of large valves with a minimum of electrical power. A few years later, Mankovitz joined the Guidance and Control Division at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he authored computer programs and designed control systems for Mars landing vehicles and deep space probes. In 1968, Mankovitz took a position as director of engineering at a division of Teledyne which produced electromechanical relays, where he developed and patented the first commercially produced solid state relays. Mankovitz also co-founded Chardonnay Corporation, which designed and produced remote-controlled systems that revolutionized the pool and spa industry by automating the operation of pool-spa combinations. In 1991, Mankovitz joined a start-up company, Gemstar Development Corporation, as its in-house intellectual property counsel, as well as a member of its research and development team. During his tenure, he became a director and officer, and built Gemstar into a patent powerhouse in the field of consumer electronics. In 1998, Mankovitz founded Patentlab, LLC, devoted to researching, designing, patenting, and licensing his intellectual property. Mankovitz continued his entrepreneurial interests in the field of consumer electronics as co-founder, director, counsel, and chief strategy officer for Web Tuner Corp., a Redmond, Washington, based high-tech startup devoted to the convergence of the internet and television viewing. He also directed his entrepreneurial interests into the field of health by co-founding Berrynol, Inc., to promote his patented technology in the area of topical photo-protective preparations. In 2005, Mankovitz founded Montecito Wellness, LLC, with his wife, Kathleen Barry, Ph.D., which is dedicated to research in the field of primary illness prevention through technology, products and processes based on nature. The first book he published on the subject is The Wellness Project - A Rocket Scientist's Blueprint for Health. Mankovitz published two more books on health and wellness: Nature's Detox Plan - A Program for Physical and Emotional Detoxification; and The Original Diet - The Omnivore's Solution. The overall premise of his research is that nature is a template for healthy living, and when married to our evolutionary heritage, optimizes our health, even to the point of overcoming past illnesses. Roy Mankovitz died on July 10, 2011.

Alan Mankovitz is co-owner of the internet marketing and information service company, Egravitas, which specializes in providing online information about concerts, sports and theatre events. He previously worked on the creative development of promotional campaigns for clients like Disney and TVG Network, writing much of the marketing and advertising copy. He also has extensive experience with Warner Music Group as a liaison between the creative and manufacturing processes for packaging, advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional materials. He specialized in interpreting artistic visions and bringing them to life on budget and on time. Overseeing production for Warner Bros. Records' entire release schedule, he worked on projects for a wide range of artists including Madonna, Eric Clapton, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., Green Day, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Petty and many others. He was awarded a Platinum Record by Maverick Records for his assistance on a Madonna release and has spearheaded a number of projects that went on to win Grammy awards for packaging. Alan holds a BA in film and television production from California State University, Northridge, and in 2004 was asked to produce a documentary on the work of a three-time Grammy award-winning art director. The film has been shown at art and design schools worldwide. His first published work was writing computer game reviews for Softline and Softalk magazine at the age of fifteen. He considers it a great privilege and delight to complete his late dad's novel.

Droit de rétractation

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
