The Seller is obliged to return to the Buyer without undue delay, no later than 14 days from the date of receipt of the notice of withdrawal, all payments received from the Buyer under or in connection with the Contract. The Seller shall not be obliged to refund such payments to the Buyer before the goods are delivered to the Buyer or until the Buyer has proved that the goods have been sent back to the Seller, unless the Seller proposes to collect the goods in person or through a person authorised by the Seller.
11.7 If the Buyer withdraws from the Purchase Contract, the Purchase Contract shall be cancelled from the beginning, as well as any supplementary contract related to the Purchase Contract from which the Buyer has withdrawn. No costs or other payments may be claimed from the Buyer in connection with the cancellation of the supplementary contract, except for the costs and payments referred to in Sections 9(3), 10(3) and (5) of the Act on Consumer Protection in Distance Selling and the price for the service, if the subject matter of the contract is the provision of a service and the service has been provided in full.
11.8 The Buyer shall bear the cost of returning the Goods to the Seller or to a person authorised by the Seller to take delivery of the Goods. This does not apply if the Seller has agreed to bear them himself or if he has not fulfilled his obligation under Section 3(1)(i) of the Distance Selling Consumer Protection Act.
11.9 The Buyer shall only be liable for any diminution in the value of the Goods resulting from handling of the Goods beyond that necessary to establish the characteristics and functionality of the Goods. The Consumer shall not be liable for the diminution in value of the Goods if the Seller has failed to comply with the information obligation on the Consumer’s right to withdraw from the Contract pursuant to Section 3(1)(h) of the Act on Consumer Protection in Distance Selling.
11.10 In the event that the Buyer withdraws from the Contract and delivers to the Seller Goods that are used, damaged or incomplete, the Buyer undertakes to reimburse the Seller for the value by which the value of the Goods has been reduced within the meaning of Section 457 of the Civil Code in the actual amount and the costs incurred by the Seller in connection with the repair of the Goods and their restoration to their original condition calculated according to the price list for (post-)warranty servicing of the Goods. The Buyer shall be obliged to pay the Seller, in accordance with this clause of the Complaints and Terms and Conditions, compensation not exceeding the difference between the purchase price of the Goods and the value of the Goods at the time of withdrawal from the Purchase Contract.
11.11 In accordance with § 7 (6) of the Act on Consumer Protection in Distance Selling, the Buyer cannot withdraw from the contract, the subject of which is:

- the sale of goods enclosed in protective packaging which are not suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons and whose protective packaging has been damaged after delivery,
- the sale of sound recordings, visual recordings, audio-visual recordings, books or computer software sold in protective packaging if the consumer has unwrapped the packaging,
- the provision of electronic content otherwise than on a tangible medium, where the provision of the electronic content has been initiated with the express consent of the consumer and the consumer has declared that he has been duly informed that he loses the right of withdrawal by expressing that consent.
- the sale of goods which, at the time after the conclusion of the contract and the receipt of the goods from the seller to the buyer, have been assembled, folded or used in such a way that their restoration to their original condition by the seller is not possible without increased effort and increased costs, e.g. folded or assembled furniture, etc.
