- The Cooling-off Period referred to in paragraph 1 commences on the Day after the one on which the Consumer, or a third party – other than the carrier – designated by the Consumer in advance, received the product, or:
- if the Consumer placed a single order for several products: on the Day on which the Consumer or a third party designated by the Consumer receives the last product. Provided that the Entrepreneur informed the Consumer in a clear manner prior to the order process, the Entrepreneur may refuse an order for several products with different delivery times.
- if the delivery of a product consists of different consignments or parts: on the Day on which the Consumer or a third party designated by the Consumer receives the last consignment or the last part;

1. The Consumer must handle the product and packaging with care during the Cooling-off Period. The Consumer will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and operation of the product. The basic principle in this regard is that the Consumer may only inspect and use the product in the way that he/she would be allowed to do in a shop.
2. The Consumer will only be liable for a decrease in the value of the product that is the consequence of the product having been handled in a manner over and above the manner permitted in paragraph 1.

- The consumer returns the product with all delivered accessories, if reasonably possible in original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
- The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.
- The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the entrepreneur has not reported that the consumer has to bear these costs or if the entrepreneur indicates to bear the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs of returning the product.

- The Consumer will not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas, or electricity not prepared for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if:
- the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, the reimbursement of costs in case of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, or;
- the consumer has not expressly requested the commencement of performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the cooling-off period.
