Cancellation policy
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you, or a third party named by you who is not the carrier, took possession of the last goods.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us
[FULL COMPANY NAME]
[Street and house number]
[Postal code and city]
Phone: [Phone number]
Email: [EMAIL]
of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email). You may use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, although it is not mandatory.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Consequences of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs arising from your choosing a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we receive notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this repayment we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.
We may refuse repayment until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.
You must return or hand over the goods to us without undue delay and in any case no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of the withdrawal from this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the period of fourteen days has expired.
You shall bear the direct cost of returning the goods. [Optional: if you cover the return costs, replace this sentence with: “We shall bear the cost of returning the goods."]
You only have to pay for any diminished value of the goods if this diminished value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary to ascertain their nature, characteristics and functioning.
Generous return period
Beyond the statutory right of withdrawal, we grant you a 90-day return period. You can find the detailed terms for our extended return period on our Delivery & Returns page.
Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts
- for the supply of goods that are not prefabricated and for the production of which an individual choice or decision by the consumer is decisive, or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer;
- for the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal was removed after delivery;
- for the supply of goods which, after delivery, due to their nature, were inseparably mixed with other goods.
