Sending the declaration before the deadline is sufficient to meet the requirements. The declaration of withdrawal from the agreement concluded with the Service Provider may be submitted, for example, by e-mail to: [email protected]. The consumer's declaration of withdrawal from the agreement concluded with the Seller should be submitted directly to the given Seller, using the contact details made available, for example, in the received confirmation of conclusion of the Sales Agreement.

  2. An example of a withdrawal form is included in Appendix 2 to the Consumer Rights Act and is additionally available in pt. 24 of the Terms of Service. The consumer may use the model form, but this is not obligatory.

  3. The period for withdrawal shall begin:

    1. for the agreement in the performance of which the trader delivers the Product, being obliged to transfer its ownership (e.g. Sales Agreement) – from taking possession of the Product by the consumer or a third party indicated by them other than the carrier, and in the case of the agreement which: (1) consists in multiple Products delivered separately, in instalments or in parts – from taking possession of the last Product, instalment or part or (2) consists in the regular delivery of Products for a fixed period – from taking possession of the first Product;

    2. for other agreements – from the date of conclusion of the agreement.

  4. In the case of withdrawal from an agreement concluded remotely, the agreement shall be deemed not to have been concluded.

  5. The trader must immediately, and in any event not later than 14 calendar days from receipt of the consumer's statement of withdrawal, return to the consumer all payments made by them, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the choice of a method of delivery chosen by the consumer other than the cheapest available method of delivery). The trader shall refund the payment using the same means of payment as the consumer used, unless the consumer has expressly agreed to another way of refund which does not incur any costs on their part. If the trader has not offered to collect the product from the consumer themselves, they may withhold the refund of the payment received from the consumer until they have received the product back or the consumer has supplied evidence of having sent back the product, whichever occurs first.

  6. The consumer must return the product to the trader or hand it over to a person authorised by the trader to collect it without delay, and in any event within 14 calendar days from the day on which they withdraw from the agreement, unless the trader has offered to collect the product themselves. It is sufficient to send the product back before the deadline. 

  7. The consumer shall be liable for any reduction in the value of the Product resulting from the use of the Product beyond that which is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product.

  8. Possible costs associated with the withdrawal from the agreement to be borne by the consumer:

    1. If the consumer has chosen a method of delivery of the Product other than the cheapest usual method of delivery available in the Online Shop, the Seller shall not be obliged to reimburse the consumer for additional costs incurred by them.

    2. The consumer shall bear the direct costs of returning the Product.

    3. In the case of a service, performance of which has begun – at the express request of the consumer – before the end of the withdrawal period, the consumer who exercises their right of withdrawal after having made such a request shall be liable to pay for any services provided until the withdrawal from the agreement. The amount of the payment shall be calculated in proportion to the extent of the performed service, taking into account the contractually agreed price or remuneration. If the price or remuneration is excessive, the basis for calculating that amount shall be the market value of the service provided.

The consumer shall not have the right to withdraw from an agreement concluded remotely with regard to agreements: (1) for the provision of services where the trader has performed the service in full with the express consent of the consumer who has been informed prior to the performance that after the trader has performed the service they will lose their right of withdrawal; (2) in which the price or remuneration

  1. depends on fluctuations of the financial market which are not controlled by the trader and which may occur before the end of the withdrawal period; (3) in which the object of the service is a non-prefabricated product, produced according to the consumer's specifications or intended to meet the consumer's personalised needs; (4) in which the object of the service is a product which is liable to deteriorate quickly or has a short shelf life; (5) in which the object of the service is a product supplied in a sealed package which, once opened, cannot be returned for health protection or hygiene reasons, if the package has been opened after delivery; (6) in which the subject of the service are products which, after delivery, by their nature, are inseparably combined with other things; (7) in which the object of the service are alcoholic beverages, the price of which has been agreed upon at the conclusion of the agreement, the delivery of which can only take place after 30 days and the value of which depends on fluctuations of the market which the trader does not control; (8) in which the consumer has expressly requested the trader to visit them for the purpose of carrying out urgent repair or maintenance; if the trader provides services in addition to those requested by the consumer or supplies products other than replacement parts necessarily used in carrying out the repair or maintenance, the right of withdrawal shall apply to the additional services or Products; (9) in which the subject of the service are sound or visual recordings or computer programs supplied in sealed packaging, if the packaging has been opened after delivery; (10) for the supply of newspapers, periodicals or magazines, with the exception of a subscription contract; (11) concluded by public auction; (12) for the provision of accommodation services other than for residential purposes, transport of goods, car rental, catering, services relating to leisure, entertainment, sporting or cultural events, if the contract specifies the day or period of performance; (13) for the supply of digital content which is not recorded on a tangible medium, if the performance has begun with the consumer's express consent before the expiry of the withdrawal period and after the Seller has informed the consumer of the loss of the right of withdrawal.

  2. The provisions contained in this point 19 of the Terms of Service regarding the consumer shall apply as of 1 January 2021 and for agreements concluded as of that date also to a natural person concluding an agreement directly related to their business activity, if it results from the content of that agreement that it does not have a professional character for that person, resulting in particular from the subject of their business activity, made available on the basis of the provisions of the Central Register and Information on Business Activity.
