If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures.

  3. if the consumer has ordered multiple products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, has received the last product. The entrepreneur may refuse an order for multiple products with different delivery times, provided that he has clearly informed the consumer of this prior to the ordering process.

  1. During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The starting point here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a shop.
  2. The consumer is only liable for any diminished value of the product resulting from the handling of the product which goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.

  2. 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.

The consumer has in any case observed the return period if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
  3. The consumer shall return the product with all supplied accessories, if reasonably possible in the original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

  7. The consumer shall not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, which have not been made ready for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if:

  3. The entrepreneur uses the same payment method for reimbursement that the consumer used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The reimbursement is free of charge for the consumer.

  2. An additional guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, his supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur under the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfil his part of the agreement.
  3. An additional guarantee is understood to mean any obligation of the entrepreneur, his supplier, importer or manufacturer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what he is legally obliged to do in the event that he has failed to fulfil his part of the agreement.
