The consumer shall only be liable for any reduction in the value of the product resulting from a handling of the product which goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1. 3. The consumer is not liable for any reduction in value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided him with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the contract. Article 8 - Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof 1.

If the consumer withdraws after having first expressly requested that the provision of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity not made ready for sale in a limited volume or set quantity commences during the cooling-off period, the consumer owes the trader an amount that is proportionate to that part of the commitment that the trader has fulfilled at the time of withdrawal, compared to the full fulfilment of the commitment. 7. The consumer shall not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, which are not put up for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if: a. the trader has not provided the consumer with the legally required information concerning the right of withdrawal, the reimbursement of costs in the event of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, or; b. the consumer has not expressly requested the commencement of the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the cooling-off period. 8.

The Entrepreneur shall reimburse all payments made by the Consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the Entrepreneur for the returned product, immediately but within 14 days following the day on which the Consumer notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless the Entrepreneur offers to collect the product himself, he may wait until he has received the product or until the Consumer demonstrates that he has returned the product, whichever time is earlier. 3. The trader shall use for reimbursement the same means of payment that the consumer has used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund shall be free of charge for the consumer. 4. If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the trader does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.
