If this is not reasonably possible, the entrepreneur will indicate before the distance agreement is concluded, how the general terms and conditions can be viewed at the entrepreneur’s premises and that they will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at the consumer’s request.
- If the distance contract is concluded electronically, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer electronically by way in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a durable data carrier, by way of derogation from the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded.

- In the event that, in addition to these general terms and conditions, specific product or service terms and conditions also apply, the second and third paragraphs shall apply mutatis mutandis and, in the event of conflicting conditions, the consumer may always invoke the applicable provision that is most favourable to him.
Article 4 – The offer
- If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
- The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer.

- If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures to this end.
- Within legal frameworks, the entrepreneur can find out whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If, on the basis of this investigation, the entrepreneur has good reasons not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled, stating reasons, to refuse an order or request or to attach special conditions to the performance.
- At the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content to the consumer, the entrepreneur shall send the following information, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier:

- the conditions under which and the manner in which the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
- the information about warranties and existing after-sales service;
- the price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content; where applicable, the cost of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery or performance of the distance contract;

- If the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.
- In the case of a long-term transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.
Article 6 – Right of withdrawal
For products:
- The consumer can dissolve an agreement regarding the purchase of a product during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but not oblige him to state his reason(s).
- The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 shall start on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated in advance by the consumer, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:
- if the consumer has ordered several products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last product. The entrepreneur may, provided that he has clearly informed the consumer about this prior to the ordering process, refuse an order for several products with a different delivery time.
- if the delivery of a product consists of several shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last shipment or part;
- in the case of contracts for the regular supply of products for a certain period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, received the first product.
Article 7 – Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period
- During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care. He will only extract or use the product to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The basic principle here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a shop.
- The consumer shall only be liable for any depreciation of the product resulting from a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.
- The consumer is not liable for depreciation of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided him with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the agreement.
Article 8 – Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof
- If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, he will report this to the entrepreneur within the cooling-off period by means of the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner.
- As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer shall return the product or hand it over to (an authorised representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to pick up the product himself. In any case, the consumer has complied with the return period if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
- The consumer returns the product with all accessories supplied, if reasonably possible in original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
- The risk and the 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 must bear these costs or if the entrepreneur indicates that he will bear the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs for return.
- If the consumer revokes after having first explicitly requested that the provision of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity that have not been prepared for sale in a limited volume or certain quantity starts during the cooling-off period, the consumer will owe the entrepreneur an amount proportional to that part of the obligation that has been fulfilled by the entrepreneur at the time of withdrawal, full performance of the undertaking.
- The consumer shall not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, which have not been put up 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 the event of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, or;
- the consumer has not explicitly requested the start of the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the cooling-off period.
- The consumer shall not bear the costs of the total or partial supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, if:
- prior to the delivery of the agreement, he did not expressly agree to the commencement of the performance of the agreement before the end of the cooling-off period;

- If the entrepreneur enables the notification of withdrawal by the consumer electronically, he will immediately send an acknowledgement of receipt after receipt of this notification.
- The entrepreneur will reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the entrepreneur for the returned product, without delay but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless the entrepreneur offers to collect the product himself, he may wait to refund until he has received the product or until the consumer proves that he has returned the product, whichever is earlier.
- The entrepreneur uses the same means of payment that the consumer used for reimbursement, unless the consumer agrees to a different method. The refund is free of charge for the consumer.
- If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.
