Exercise of the right of withdrawal
Before the expiry of the withdrawal period, the consumer shall inform the trader of his decision to withdraw from the contract. To this end, the consumer may-
(a) either use the model withdrawal form, which he will find on our website
(b) or make any other clear statement indicating his decision to withdraw from the contract.
The consumer has exercised the right of withdrawal within the withdrawal period if the communication of the exercise of the right of withdrawal is sent by the consumer before the expiry of the period.
The trader may, in addition to the possibilities mentioned above, provide the consumer with the option to fill in and submit electronically either the model withdrawal form set out on our website, or any other clear statement found on the trader’s website. In such cases, the trader shall communicate to the consumer confirmation of receipt of this withdrawal on a durable medium without delay.
The consumer shall bear the burden of proof that he has exercised the right of withdrawal under this Article.
The exercise of the right of withdrawal terminates the obligations of the contracting parties:
(a) to perform the distance or off-premises contract or
(b) to conclude a distance or off-premises contract in cases where an offer was submitted by the consumer.
The trader shall reimburse any payment received from the consumer, including, where applicable, the costs of delivery, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which he is informed of the consumer’s decision to withdraw from the contract. The trader shall reimburse the consumer using the same means of payment as the consumer used for the initial transaction, unless the consumer has expressly agreed otherwise and provided that the consumer does not bear any costs resulting from the reimbursement.
By way of derogation, the trader is not required to reimburse additional delivery costs if the consumer has expressly chosen a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery method offered by the trader.
Unless the trader has offered to collect the goods himself, in the case of sales contracts, the trader may withhold the refund of the price until he has received the goods back or until the consumer has provided evidence that he has sent the goods back, whichever is the earlier.
Unless the trader has offered to collect the goods himself, the consumer shall return the goods or hand them over to the trader or to a person authorised by the trader to collect the goods, without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen (14) days from the day on which he communicated his decision to withdraw from the contract to the trader. The deadline shall be met if the consumer sends back the goods before the expiry of the fourteen (14) day period. The consumer shall bear only the direct cost of returning the goods, unless the trader has agreed to bear these costs himself or the trader has failed to inform the consumer that the consumer must bear them. In the case of off-premises contracts, if the goods have been delivered to the consumer’s home at the time of conclusion of the contract, the trader shall take delivery of the goods at his own expense, provided that the goods are not, by their nature, normally capable of being returned by post.
The consumer shall be liable for any diminished value of the goods only as a result of the handling of the goods other than that which is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. The consumer is in no way liable for any reduction in the value of the goods when the trader has not provided notification of the right of withdrawal.
Without prejudice to article 15 of the Consumer Credit Contracts Law, as amended or replaced from time to time, if the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal from a distance contract or an off-premises contract in accordance with the above paragraphs, any related contracts shall automatically terminate, without any cost to the consumer, unless the consumer has expressly chosen a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery method offered by the trader and except for the conditions listed above under the title ‘‘Obligations of the consumer in case of withdrawal’’. The trader must, in a case in which the related contracts are performed by a person other than himself, upon receipt of the notification of withdrawal from the contract, immediately inform the other person accordingly.
Without prejudice to Article 15 of the Consumer Credit Contracts Law, as amended or replaced from time to time, if the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal from a distance contract or an off-premises contract in accordance with the above paragraphs, and the price is covered, either in whole or in part, by credit granted to the buyer by the trader or a third party, based on an arrangement between the third party and the trader, then the credit agreement is automatically terminated and the consumer is not subject to any costs. The trader must, in a case where the creditor is a person other than himself, upon receipt of the notification of withdrawal from the contract, immediately inform the creditor accordingly.
The right of withdrawal, provided for above in distance and off-premises contracts, is not provided in the following cases:
(a) In service contracts after the service has been fully provided, if the performance has begun with the consumer’s prior express consent and with his acknowledgement that he will lose his right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed by the trader;
(b) In the supply of goods or the provision of services the price of which depends on fluctuations in the money market which the trader cannot control and which may occur within the withdrawal period;

(f) To the supply of goods which, after delivery, due to their nature, are inseparably mixed with other items;
(g) To contracts under which the consumer has specifically requested a visit from the trader for the purpose of carrying out urgent repairs or maintenance work. If, in the event of such a visit, the trader provides services additional to those specifically requested by the consumer or goods beyond those necessary to be used in carrying out maintenance and/or repair work, the right of withdrawal shall apply only to those additional services or goods.
(h) The supply of sealed audio recordings or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, which were unsealed after delivery;
(i) The supply of newspapers and all types of periodicals, excluding subscription contracts for the supply of such publications;
(j) Contracts for the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium, provided that the performance has begun and provided that the contract provides for the consumer’s obligation to pay a price, in the event that- (i) the consumer has given his prior express consent so that the performance of the contract may begin during the period of validity of the right of withdrawal; (ii) the consumer has acknowledged that he consequently loses his right of withdrawal; and (iii) the trader has provided the confirmation provided for in subsection (2) of article 18 or in subsection (7) of Article 19 of the Consumer Protection Law of 2021 (112(I)/2021)
(k) In service contracts which impose on the consumer the obligation to pay a price, when the consumer has specifically requested a visit from the trader for the purpose of carrying out repairs; in this case, the consumer loses the right of withdrawal, after the full provision of the service, provided that the performance began with the consumer’s prior express consent:
It is understood that the exceptions to the right of withdrawal provided for in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) do not apply in the case of contracts concluded in the context of unscheduled visits by a trader to the consumer’s home or excursions organized by a trader with the aim of promoting or selling products to consumers.
