CONSEQUENCES OF THE CANCELLATION
If you cancel this contract, we shall refund all payments that we received from you including the shipping costs (except for any additional costs incurred because you selected a shipping method other than the most inexpensive standard delivery offered by us) without delay within 14 days of the date on which we receive the declaration of your cancellation of this contract. For this refund, we will use the same payment method that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; no fees will be charged to you due to this refund.
We may refuse the refund until we receive the goods back or until you furnish evidence that you have sent the goods back, depending on which occurs earlier.

The period will be deemed complied with if you dispatch goods prior to the expiry of the period of 30 days.
We will bear the costs of the return shipment of the goods.
You shall pay for any decrease in value of the goods only if this decrease in value is caused by any handling of the goods not necessary for checking their quality, properties and functionality.
Notes:
1) Pursuant to the law the right of cancellation does not apply to contracts for the supply of goods that are not ready-made and which production involves an individual selection or determination by the consumer or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer, unless the parties agree otherwise.
