6.1 After the Customer has received the Products ordered by it, the Customer is entitled to terminate the underlying Agreement with Ecoform Europe within 14 calendar days after receipt of this Product and unopened.

c. that quickly become obsolete or spoil;
d. for which the price depends on fluctuations in the financial market, over which Ecoform Europe has no influence;

6.2 If the Customer wishes to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Article 6.1 of these Terms and Conditions, the Customer should inform Ecoform Europe of this in writing (by e-mail or letter).

6.3 The payments made by the Customer at the time that the Customer cancels the Agreement with Ecoform Europe, pursuant to Articles 6.1 and 6.2 of these Terms and Conditions, shall be repaid by Ecoform Europe to the Customer within 14 calendar days after Ecoform Europe has been informed of the decision by the Customer to cancel the Agreement, including delivery charges (but excluding any additional costs resulting from the choice of the Customer for a different delivery than the cheapest standard delivery provided by Ecoform Europe). Repayment shall be made by the same method of payment used by the Customer in the original transaction, unless the Customer has explicitly agreed otherwise; in both cases no fee will be charged to the Customer for such repayment.

6.4 If a Product is returned that, in the opinion of Ecoform Europe, has suffered damage or has been reduced in value as a result of the treatment of the Product(s) which exceeded that which was necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product(s), then Ecoform Europe shall notify the Customer of this in writing (by letter or e-mail). Ecoform Europe is entitled to deduct the reduction in value of the Product as a result of this damage from the amount payable to the Customer.

7. NO GOOD MONEY BACK

7.1 If, within 30 calendar days after the Customer has received the Product, the Product is found to have a defect or the Customer is of the opinion that the Product does not reasonably meet its requirements, the Customer has two options:

(b) the Customer may terminate the Agreement with Ecoform Europe, by informing Ecoform Europe of this in writing (by letter or e-mail).

7.2 If the Customer asks Ecoform Europe to replace or deliver the missing or defective part of the Product, the Customer must return the Product to Ecoform Europe unopened or used.

The cost of the return shipment by the Customer, the replacement of the Product, and the return of the Product to the Customer shall be for the account of Ecoform Europe, unless it is plausible that the missing (part of the) Product or the defect to the Product is attributable to the Customer or is otherwise for the account and risk of the Customer. In such case, Ecoform Europe is not required to repair the defect to the Product or add the missing part to the Product. In such case, Ecoform Europe shall return the Product to the Customer in the same condition as that in which it received the Product from the Customer.
