The contract shall be deemed to have been fulfilled by both sides as soon as we have received your payment and you have received your order.

It shall be sufficient to send the notice of withdrawal within the withdrawal period without stating reasons.

3.2 In the case of withdrawal, a refund of the purchase price shall only be provided if the goods received are returned. This is conditional to the goods being returned in an unused and resellable condition.
