Article 6 - Right of withdrawal
For products:
- The consumer can terminate an agreement regarding the purchase of a product during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without stating reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer about the reason for withdrawal but may not oblige them to state their reason(s).
- The cooling-off period mentioned 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 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 different delivery times.
- 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;
- in agreements 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.
For services and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium:
- The consumer can terminate a service agreement and an agreement for the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium during a period of at least 14 days without stating reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer about the reason for withdrawal but may not oblige them to state their reason(s).
- The cooling-off period mentioned in paragraph 3 commences on the day following the conclusion of the agreement.
Extended cooling-off period for products, services, and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if information about the right of withdrawal has not been provided:
- 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.

Article 7 - Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period
- During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the product. The basic principle here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a store.
- The consumer is only liable for any diminished value of the product resulting from handling the product in a way that goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.
- The consumer is not liable for diminished 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
- If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they must notify the entrepreneur of this within the cooling-off period by means of the model withdrawal form or another unambiguous statement.
- As soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after 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 is not necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product themselves. The consumer has in any case complied with the return period if they return the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
- The consumer shall return the product with all supplied accessories, if reasonably possible in its original state and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
- The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lie with the consumer.
- The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the entrepreneur has not stated that the consumer must bear these costs or if the entrepreneur indicates that they will bear the costs themselves, the consumer does not have to bear the costs for returning the product.
- If the consumer withdraws after having explicitly requested that the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, or electricity not prepared for sale in a limited volume or specific quantity commences during the cooling-off period, the consumer owes the entrepreneur an amount proportionate to that part of the obligation that has been fulfilled by the entrepreneur at the time of withdrawal, compared to the full fulfillment of the obligation.
- The consumer shall not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, which are not prepared 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 withdrawal, the cost compensation upon withdrawal, or the model withdrawal form, 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.
- The consumer shall not bear any costs for the full or partial supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, if:
- they have not expressly agreed to commence performance of the agreement before the end of the cooling-off period;
- they have not acknowledged losing their right of withdrawal when giving their consent; or
- the entrepreneur has failed to confirm this statement from the consumer.
- If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, all additional agreements shall be dissolved by operation of law.
Article 9 - Obligations of the entrepreneur in case of withdrawal
- If the entrepreneur enables the consumer's withdrawal notification electronically, they will send an immediate confirmation of receipt after receiving this notification.
- 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 no later than 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies them of the withdrawal. Unless the entrepreneur offers to collect the product themselves, they may wait with reimbursement until they have received the product or until the consumer demonstrates that they have returned the product, whichever comes first.
- The entrepreneur will use the same payment method for reimbursement that the consumer used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The reimbursement is free of charge for the consumer.
- If the consumer has chosen 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.
Article 10 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
The entrepreneur can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in good time before the conclusion of the agreement:
- Products or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period;
- Agreements concluded during a public auction. A public auction means a sales method where products, digital content, and/or services are offered by the entrepreneur to the consumer who is personally present or given the opportunity to be personally present at the auction, under the guidance of an auctioneer, and where the successful bidder is obliged to purchase the products, digital content, and/or services;

Article 11 - The Price
- During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the offered products and/or services will not be increased, except for price changes resulting from changes in VAT rates.
- Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the entrepreneur has no influence, with variable prices. This connection to fluctuations and the fact that any stated prices are target prices will be mentioned in the offer.
- Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of legal regulations or provisions.
- Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:
- these are the result of legal regulations or provisions; or
- the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement as of the day on which the price increase takes effect.
- The prices stated in the offer of products or services include VAT.
Article 12 - Performance of Agreement and Additional Guarantee
- The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of the conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
- An additional guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, his supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfill his part of the agreement.
- Additional guarantee means any obligation of the entrepreneur, his supplier, importer or producer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what he is legally obliged to do in case he has failed to fulfill his part of the agreement.

If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only be executed partially, the consumer will be notified of this no later than 30 days after he has placed the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs and is entitled to any compensation.
- After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will immediately refund the amount paid by the consumer.
