Consumers have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days starting from the day on which you, or a third party other than the carrier and designated by you, acquires physical possession of the goods. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (by providing your name, address, email, and order details) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an explicit statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or email). You do not have to use a specific withdrawal form. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that you send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of Withdrawal.
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including delivery costs (except for additional costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw. The reimbursement will be made using the same means of payment you used for the original transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. 

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is earlier. You must return or hand over the goods to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

You are only responsible for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods. If the returned goods show signs of damage or use beyond what is necessary to inspect them as you would in a physical store, we reserve the right to deduct an amount corresponding to the reduced value of the goods from your refund.
