Right of withdrawal

As stated in the terms & conditions

Article 6 Right of withdrawal

For products:

1. The consumer can dissolve an agreement regarding the purchase of a product during a reflection period of at least 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason of withdrawal, but does not oblige the consumer to state his reason(s).

2. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 starts on the day after the consumer, or a third party previously designated by the consumer, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:

a. if the consumer has ordered several products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last product. The entrepreneur may, provided he has clearly informed the consumer about this prior to the ordering process, refuse an order for multiple products with a different delivery time.

b. if the delivery of a product consists of several shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last shipment or the last part;

c. in the case of contracts for regular delivery of products during a certain period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the first product; in the case of services and digital content not supplied on a material carrier:

3. The consumer may terminate a service contract and a contract for the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium for a minimum period of 14 days without giving reasons. The trader may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but does not oblige him to state his reason(s).

4. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 3 starts on the day following the conclusion of the contract. Extended cooling-off period for products, services and digital content that is not supplied on a tangible medium in the event of failure to inform the consumer about the right of withdrawal:

5. If the Entrepreneur has not provided the Consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, the cooling-off period expires twelve months after the end of the original cooling-off period determined in accordance with the previous paragraphs of this article.

6. If the trader has provided the consumer with the information referred to in the previous paragraph within twelve months after the starting date of the original cooling-off period, the cooling-off period shall expire 14 days after the day on which the consumer has received that information.

Article 7 Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period

1. During the reflection period the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The starting point here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a shop.

2. The consumer shall only be liable for any reduction in the value of the product resulting from a handling of the product which goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.

3. The consumer is not liable for reduction in value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided him with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the agreement.

Article 8 Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof

1. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he shall report this to the entrepreneur within the cooling-off period by means of the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner.

2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer shall return the product, or hand it over to (an authorized representative of) the entrepreneur. This does not have to be done if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product himself. The consumer has in any case observed the return period if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.

3. The consumer returns the product with all delivered accessories, if reasonably possible in original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

4. The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.

5. The consumer shall bear the direct costs of returning the product. If the entrepreneur has not reported that the consumer has to bear these costs or if the entrepreneur indicates to bear the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs of returning the product.

6. If the consumer withdraws after having first expressly requested that the provision of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity not made ready for sale in a limited volume or set quantity commences during the cooling-off period, the consumer owes the proprietor an amount that is proportional to that part of the commitment that the proprietor has fulfilled at the time of withdrawal, compared to the full fulfilment of the commitment.

7. The consumer shall not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, which are not put up for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if:

a. the trader has not provided the consumer with the legally required information concerning the right of withdrawal, the reimbursement of costs in the event of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, or;

b. the consumer has not expressly requested the start of the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the cooling-off period.

8. The consumer shall not bear any costs for the full or partial supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, if:

a. he has not expressly agreed to the commencement of the performance of the contract before the end of the cooling-off period prior to its delivery;

b. he has not acknowledged losing his right of withdrawal when giving his consent; or

c. the entrepreneur has failed to confirm this statement from the consumer.

9. If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, all additional agreements will be dissolved by operation of law.

Article 9 Obligations of the entrepreneur in case of withdrawal

1. If the Entrepreneur makes the notification of withdrawal by the Consumer possible electronically, he shall send a confirmation of receipt without delay after receipt of this notification.

2. The Entrepreneur shall reimburse all payments made by the Consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the Entrepreneur for the returned product, without delay but within 14 days following the day on which the Consumer notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless the Entrepreneur offers to collect the product himself, he may wait until he has received the product or until the Consumer demonstrates that he has returned the product, whichever time is earlier.

3. The trader shall use the same means of payment that the consumer has used for the refund, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund shall be free of charge for the consumer.

4. If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the trader does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.
