9.1 Right of withdrawal

You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without giving reasons.

The withdrawal period expires 14 days from the day on which you or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier, takes physical possession of the last good or delivery

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from this agreement by a clear statement (for example, a letter by post, fax or e-mail). Our contact information can be found below. You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but this is not obligatory.

You can also electronically complete and submit the model withdrawal form or other clear statement on our site.

If you exercise this option, we will promptly send you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a revocation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail).

To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that you send the communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

9.2 Consequences of revocation.

If you withdraw from this contract, we will promptly refund to you all payments received from you, including delivery charges (excluding any additional charges resulting from your choice of a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us) and in any event no later than 14 days from the day we are notified of your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will make such refund using the same means of payment as you used for the original transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, there is no charge for such refund.

We will pick up the goods.

You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

You are only liable for diminished value of the goods resulting from use other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and operation of the goods.

There are some legal exceptions to the right of withdrawal, and therefore some items cannot be returned or exchanged. We will let you know if this applies in your specific case.
