  4. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
  5. The right of withdrawal does not apply to the following contracts: service contracts after the service has been fully performed, if performance began with your express prior consent and acknowledgment that you would lose the right of withdrawal once the contract was fully performed; contracts for goods made to your specifications or clearly personalized; contracts for goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly; contracts for sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery; contracts for sealed audio or video recordings or sealed computer software that were unsealed after delivery; contracts for the supply of newspapers, periodicals or magazines, with the exception of subscription contracts; contracts for the supply of digital content if the supply has begun with your prior express consent and acknowledgment that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal.
  6. By agreeing to these Terms, you confirm that you understand that the product categories referred to in clause 16.5 also include e-books; therefore, you are not granted the right to withdraw from a contract for the purchase of e-books without specifying a legal basis.
  7. When you exercise the right to withdraw from the purchase contract, any ancillary contracts are automatically terminated without any costs for you, except for costs provided for in this section or in Article 6.22812 of the Civil Code. Ancillary contracts are contracts under which you acquire goods or services related to the concluded contract and which are supplied by us or by another person under an arrangement with us. You must promptly notify the other party to the ancillary contract in writing about the termination of the ancillary contract and provide information about your withdrawal from the purchase–sale contract. A separate notification is not required when the ancillary contract was concluded with us and we have been informed of the withdrawal under Article 6.22810 of the Civil Code.
  8. The burden of proof that you have complied with the requirements of this section regarding withdrawal lies with you.

17. CONSEQUENCES OF WITHDRAWAL

  1. If you withdraw from the purchase–sale contract, we will refund to you without delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day you informed us of your decision to withdraw, all payments received from you, including delivery costs (except for any additional costs incurred if you chose a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery we offer). If the Buyer returns only one or several – but not all – delivered items, delivery costs are not refunded if the delivery fee does not depend on the quantity, value, or other characteristics of the delivered items. If the delivery fee does depend on such characteristics, the Buyer is refunded the portion of the fee by which the delivery cost increased compared to what the Buyer would have paid had the returned item(s) not been ordered.
  2. We will make the refund using the same payment method you used for the original transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any case, you will not incur any fees as a result of the refund.
  3. If you withdraw from the contract, you must send the goods back to the Seller without delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day you informed us of your decision to withdraw. The deadline is met if you dispatch the goods before the 14-day period has expired. If you withdraw from the contract, you cover the direct cost of returning the goods.
  4. We may withhold the refund until the goods are received at the bookbook.eu Central Distribution Point at Brastos g. 13, Kaunas, LT-47183, or until you provide evidence that you have sent the goods back to the Seller – whichever occurs first – except where, under the contract, upon your withdrawal we are obliged to collect the goods. When returning goods after withdrawing from the purchase–sale contract, you must comply with the conditions set out in clause 12.4 of these Terms.
  5. We are not required to refund any additional costs resulting from your explicit choice of a delivery method other than our least expensive standard delivery.
  6. If, due to their nature, goods cannot normally be returned by post and were delivered to the Buyer’s home at the time the contract was concluded, we will collect the goods at our own expense.
  7. You are liable only for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods.
  8. When the Buyer exercises the right of withdrawal set out in the Terms, the parties’ obligations to perform the purchase–sale contract cease.
