  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, in deviation from the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be consulted electronically and that they will be sent free of charge electronically or otherwise at the consumer’s request.

  3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures to that end.
  4. The entrepreneur can, within legal frameworks, inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into the distance contract. If the entrepreneur has good reasons not to enter into the agreement based on this investigation, he is entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons or to attach special conditions to the execution.
  5. The entrepreneur will send the following information to the consumer at the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier:

    • if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.
  6. In the case of a long-term transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.

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 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but may not oblige the consumer to state his reason(s).
  2. The reflection period referred to in paragraph 1 commences on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer in advance, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:
    • if the consumer has ordered multiple 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 that he has clearly informed the consumer of this prior to the ordering process, refuse an order for multiple products with different delivery times.
    • if the delivery of a product consists of different 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;

The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but may not oblige the consumer to state his reason(s).

  1. During the cooling-off 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 is only liable for the depreciation of the product that is the result of a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.
  3. The consumer is not liable for the depreciation of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided him with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the time of concluding the agreement.

  2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer returns the product or hands it over to (an authorized representative of) the entrepreneur.

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 accessories supplied, if reasonably possible in the original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

  7. The consumer does not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, that have not been made ready for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if:
    • the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of revocation, the cost reimbursement in the event of revocation or the model form for revocation, or;
    • the consumer has not expressly requested the commencement 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 delivery of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, if:

  2. The entrepreneur will 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 with reimbursement until he has received the product or until the consumer proves that he has returned the product, whichever is the earlier.
  3. The entrepreneur will use the same payment method that the consumer used for reimbursement, unless the consumer agrees to a different method. The refund is 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 entrepreneur does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.

  2. An additional guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, its supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur under the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfil its part of the agreement.
