of your decision to withdraw from this agreement by means of a clear state-ment (e.g., a letter sent by post, facsimile or email). You may use the with-drawal form template attached here, although this is not required. In order to meet the withdrawal deadline, it shall suffice to send notification stating that you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal prior to the expiry of the with-drawal period.
Consequences of withdrawal
Should you withdraw from this agreement, we shall refund all payments we received from you, including delivery costs (except for additional costs aris-ing if you select a delivery method that differs from the most cost-efficient standard delivery offered by us) immediately and not later than within a peri-od of fourteen (14) days from the day on which we received notification of your withdrawal from this agreement. We shall use the same payment meth-od for the refund that you selected in the original transaction, unless ex-pressly agreed otherwise with you; under no circumstances shall you be charged a fee for this return payment.
We may withhold the refund until such time as the goods have been returned to us or until you have provided evidence that you have shipped the goods, whichever comes first. You shall ship back or deliver the goods to us without delay and, in any event, not later than fourteen (14) days from the date on which you notified us of your withdrawal from this agreement.
The deadline shall be considered kept if you dispatch the goods before the fourteen-day (14-day) deadline has expired. You shall bear the direct cost of returning the goods. The costs have been estimated at approximately EUR 30.00. You shall only be liable for the potential loss in value of the goods if a test of the condition, characteristics and functioning of the goods shows that the loss in value was due to improper handling on your part.
