RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

 

Unless the Agreement is exempt from the right of
withdrawal, the Buyer can cancel the purchase of the item in accordance with
the Right of Withdrawal Act.

 

The Buyer must notify the Seller of the use of the
right of withdrawal within 14 days from the deadline begins to run. The
deadline includes all calendar days. If the deadline ends on a Saturday,
public holiday or public holiday, the deadline is extended to the nearest
working day.

 

The cancellation deadline is considered complied with
if notification is sent before the expiry of the deadline. The Buyer has
the burden of proving that the right of withdrawal has been exercised, and the
notification should therefore be made in writing (right of withdrawal form,
e-mail or letter), with confirmation from the Seller that the notification has
been received.

 

The withdrawal period is extended to 12 months after
the expiry of the original deadline if the Seller does not state before the
conclusion of the agreement that there is a right of withdrawal and a
standardized withdrawal form. The same applies in the event of lack of
information on terms, deadlines and procedures for exercising the right of
withdrawal. If the trader provides the information during these 12 months,
the cancellation period still expires 14 days after the day the Buyer received
the information. Seller shall include the right of withdrawal form with
the shipment or delivery of the product(s) or services.

 

When exercising the right of withdrawal, the item must
be returned to the Seller without undue delay and no later than 14 days from
notification of use of the right of withdrawal has been given. The Buyer
covers any reasonably incurred direct costs of returning the item, such as
return shipping.

 

In order for Seller to refund the full amount in the
event of a right of withdrawal, the item must be returned in the same condition
as when you received it. The original packaging must be complete and
without tears / marks.

 

Note that there are special provisions in the
Cancellation Act related to fixed-term benefits and goods that deteriorate
rapidly, such as certain foods, where the general time limit for withdrawal
does not apply. Pursuant to section 22 b and g of the Cancellation Act,
the right of withdrawal does not apply to agreements on:

 

 

If you cancel all or part of the purchase, you will be
refunded the value of the goods at the time of purchase, within 14 days after
we have received and processed your return.

 

If you have paid by card, the amount will be returned
directly to the same card you used when purchasing.

took over the item. If the product or parts of it are intended to last
significantly longer than two years, the complaint period is five years.

 

Please note that if the item has been used abnormally
much or not for suitable use, the right to make a complaint for 2 years
lapses. Remember that foods will often have a different expected shelf
life than other items. Even if the complaint deadline has been complied with,
there must still be a defect in the food at the time of purchase for the
conditions for the complaint to be met.

demand  fulfillment  of the agreement,

fee and a reasonable fee for uncollected goods, depending on the circumstances.

the Buyer pay the purchase price. If the item is not delivered, the Seller
loses his right if he waits unreasonably long to advance the claim.

 

 

LIFTING

 

The Seller may terminate the agreement if there is a
material default or other material default on the part of the Buyer. The Seller
can still not withdraw if the entire purchase price has been paid. If the Seller

pay within this deadline, the Seller can cancel the purchase.
