Article 6 – Right of Withdrawal
For products:
The consumer may cancel a product purchase agreement within a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without giving a reason. The entrepreneur may ask for the reason but cannot require the consumer to provide it.
The cooling-off period starts the day after the consumer or a designated third party (not the carrier) receives the product. For multiple products in one order, the period starts when the last product is received. For products delivered in multiple shipments, it starts when the last shipment is received. For regular deliveries, it starts when the first product is received.
For Adobe Licenses:
After purchase and correct delivery of an Adobe license, the product is non-returnable. Since the license code can be used immediately, the right of withdrawal is forfeited. By agreeing to the purchase, the customer confirms they understand that no refund or exchange is possible after delivery.
Our "not satisfied = money back" guarantee applies only in cases of force majeure where the customer cannot use the Adobe license due to circumstances beyond their control. In such cases, the customer must contact us within 14 days of purchase for assessment and potential refund.
For services and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium:
The consumer may cancel a service or digital content agreement within 14 days without giving a reason. The entrepreneur may ask for the reason but cannot require the consumer to provide it.
The points in Article 6(3) apply only if the digital product (e.g., licenses) remains unused. After use, the guarantee period expires.
Extended cooling-off period for products, services, and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if information about the right of withdrawal is not provided:
If the entrepreneur fails to provide the legally required information about the right of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, the cooling-off period expires 12 months after the end of the original cooling-off period.
If the entrepreneur provides this information within 12 months, the cooling-off period ends 14 days after the consumer receives the information.
Article 7 – Consumer Obligations During the Cooling-off Period
During the cooling-off period, the consumer must handle the product and packaging carefully. They may only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess its nature, characteristics, and functioning. The consumer may only handle and inspect the product as they would in a store.
The consumer is liable for any diminished value of the product resulting from handling beyond what is permitted.
The consumer is not liable for diminished value if the entrepreneur did not provide all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the time of concluding the agreement.
Article 8 – Exercising the Right of Withdrawal and Associated Costs
If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they must notify the entrepreneur within the cooling-off period using the model withdrawal form or another unambiguous method.
The consumer must return the product as soon as possible, but within 14 days of notifying the entrepreneur, unless the entrepreneur offers to collect it. The consumer is considered to have met the return deadline if they send the product back before the cooling-off period expires.
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 unless the entrepreneur has stated they will cover these costs.
If the consumer withdraws after explicitly requesting the start of a service or delivery of gas, water, or electricity during the cooling-off period, they must pay the entrepreneur an amount proportional to what has been provided up to the point of withdrawal.
The consumer is not liable for costs if:
-
The entrepreneur failed to provide the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, costs, or the model withdrawal form.
-
The consumer did not explicitly request the start of the service or delivery during the cooling-off period.
For digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, the consumer is not liable for costs if:
- They did not explicitly agree to start performance before the end of the cooling-off period.
- They did not acknowledge losing their right of withdrawal by giving consent.
- The entrepreneur failed to obtain this acknowledgment.
If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, any supplementary agreements are automatically terminated.
Article 9 – Entrepreneur’s Obligations in Case of Withdrawal
If the entrepreneur allows electronic notification of withdrawal, they will promptly send a confirmation of receipt.
The entrepreneur will refund all payments, including delivery costs, without delay and within 2 days of receiving the withdrawal notice. Unless the entrepreneur offers to collect the product, they may wait to refund until the product is returned or the consumer proves they have sent it back.
The entrepreneur will use the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund is free of charge.
If the consumer chose a more expensive delivery method than the standard option, the entrepreneur is not required to refund the additional costs.
Article 10 – Exclusions from the Right of Withdrawal
