The Consumer may withdraw from the contract, the subject of which is the delivery of goods, even before the expiry of the period for withdrawal from the contract.

8.2. If a Consumer wants to exercise such right, the Consumer is obligated to notify the Seller of the withdrawal from the contract no later than on the last day of the specified period or to deliver such withdrawal for postal transport no later than on the last day of the period to the Seller’s address according to these GTC. The consumer is obligated to return the product or hand it over to the Seller or a person authorised by the Seller to receive the product no later than 14 days from the date of withdrawal from the contract.

8.3. Withdrawal from the contract can also be sent to the Seller in paper form or in the form of a record on another durable medium (e.g. e-mail). Application for withdrawal from the contract can also be made by means of the Form for Withdrawal from the Contract, which is available in the Seller’s online store. A Consumer is also entitled to withdraw from the contract orally, in particular by a clearly formulated statement of the Consumer expressing his/her willingness to withdraw from the contract. We recommend that the Consumer state the order number, date of purchase, type of product he/she is withdrawing from, his/her name and surname address. The Seller shall return to the Buyer all payments pursuant to this Article of the GTC in the same manner as the Buyer used to pay the purchase price. Such a withdrawal does not affect the Consumer’s right to agree with the Seller on another method of payment, if no additional fees are charged to the Consumer in connection with this.

If the value of the product was reduced as a consequence of handling the product in such a way that is beyond the treatment needed to determine the properties and functionality of the product (e.g. the product will be damaged), the Consumer is liable to the Seller for such damage. The use of the product to a greater extent than is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functionality of the product in particular will be considered as handling the product beyond the determination of the product’s properties and functionality. Justified expenditures for returning the product to its previous condition in particular will likewise be considered as a reduction in the value of the product.

If the Consumer withdraws from the contract in accordance with Act No. 102/2014 Coll., he/she shall bear the costs of returning the product to the Seller pursuant to § 10 para. 3 of Act No. 102/2014 Coll., and if he/she withdraws from the contract concluded at a distance, the cost of returning the product, which due to its nature cannot be returned by postal mail. This shall not apply if the Seller has agreed to bear such costs itself.

8.7. The Seller shall return to the Consumer the payment made for the product, as well as all payments received from the Consumer under or in connection with the purchase contract, including transport, delivery and postage costs, as well as other costs and fees, within 14 days from the day of delivery of the product or proof that the product has been sent to the Seller. This shall not apply to the cost of returning the goods, which is borne by the Consumer him/herself under the conditions set out in point 8.6. of this Article.

8.8. The Seller is not obligated to reimburse the Consumer for additional costs, if the Consumer has expressly chosen a method of delivery other than the cheapest standard method of delivery offered by the Seller. Additional costs between the delivery costs chosen by the Consumer and the costs of the cheapest standard delivery method offered by the Seller shall be considered as additional costs.
