3. The consumer returns the product with all delivered accessories, if reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
4. The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.

- the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.
4. The prices mentioned in the offer of products or services include VAT.
Article 13 - Performance of the agreement and additional warranty
1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and the legal provisions and/or government regulations that existed on the date of the conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for use other than normal use.
2. An additional guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, its supplier, manufacturer, or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfill his part of the agreement.

If delivery is delayed or if an order cannot be executed or can only be executed in part, the consumer shall be notified of this no later than 30 days after he has placed the order. In such cases, the consumer shall have the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge and to claim compensation for any damage incurred.
4. After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur shall immediately refund the amount that the consumer has paid.

Article 15 - Payment
