9.1 Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The cooling-off period will expire after 14 days from the date of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from this contract with an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). Our contact details can be found below. You can use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not mandatory.

If you use this option, we will send you a confirmation of receipt of such withdrawal on a durable medium (for example by email) without delay.

In order to comply with the cooling-off period, it is sufficient that you send your notification of your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the cooling-off period has expired.

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the cheapest type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which we were informed of your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such refund using the same means of payment that you used for the first transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any case, you will not incur any fees as a result of such refund.

If you have requested to start performing services during the cooling-off period, you shall pay us an amount proportionate to what has been provided until you have communicated to us that you are withdrawing from this contract, compared to the full coverage of the contract.
