Following this notification to the partner bank, the company shall not be responsible for the time and manner of execution of the chargeback, which is decided by the card issuing bank and regulated by the aforementioned contract between the bank and the customer.

Also the customer is obliged (unless the supplier has offered to receive the goods himself) to return the goods within 14 calendar days from the day on which he notified the withdrawal.
- The company is entitled to reject the notice of withdrawal if the goods are not offered for return legally and properly, i.e. in the condition in which they were delivered and not used. If the customer, if the company, at its free discretion and by way of derogation, accepts the return of a used item in view of the withdrawal, the customer is liable to compensate the company for the reasonable reduction in value of the item due to its use. The company shall be entitled to agree with the customer on compensation, even by mutual set-off. If the withdrawal concerns the provision of services, the customer must pay an amount proportional to the services provided up to the date of the withdrawal. If the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, any linked contracts shall automatically terminate, at no cost to the customer.
Exceptions to withdrawal
There is NO withdrawal in:
- Service contracts after the full provision of the service, if performance has commenced with the prior express consent of the customer and with the customer's acknowledgement that he will lose his right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed by the supplier
