This time limit is met if the Customer returns the goods before the 14-day period expires. Please note that, as provided by current legislation, the right of withdrawal is excluded and therefore may not be exercised for Products that have been customized at your explicit request at the time the Order was placed.

In cases where the Seller, in connection with the purchase of a bundle of Products, offers a discounted price compared to the individual purchase price (e.g., 5 for the price of 4, 3 for 2, etc.), the right of withdrawal may be exercised even for only some of the purchased products. In this case, the price will be recalculated based on the regular price for the individual item.

8.7. If the right of withdrawal is exercised in compliance with the above conditions (paragraphs 8.1 to 8.4), the Seller shall reimburse the amounts paid by the Customer no later than 14 days from the day on which the Seller was informed of your decision to withdraw from the contract, provided that the Seller has received the returned goods or that you provide proof that the goods have been sent. The Seller will issue the refund using the same payment method used for the original transaction, unless you explicitly request a different method and the Seller agrees. For example, refunds may be issued by crediting your PayPal account or by bank transfer.
8.8. In case of withdrawal, the only cost to be borne by you shall be the initial shipping costs of the order.

After the Products have been returned, except as provided in paragraph 8.7 and in cases of defective product returns, the Seller will deduct from the refund a flat fee equal to the shipping and delivery costs previously incurred by you, or the standard delivery fees applicable for the relevant destination country. Furthermore, once the returned Products are handed over to the courier designated by the Seller in the Return Form, the Seller releases you from any liability in case of loss or damage during transit.
