Right of revocation upon delivery of products
1. The consumer may dissolve an agreement regarding the purchase of a product during a reflection period of up to 14 days without giving reasons. 2. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 shall commence on the day after the consumer, or a third party other than the carrier and previously designated by the consumer, has received the product, or:
a. if the consumer has ordered several products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last product. The Blaker exclusively may, provided he has clearly informed the consumer about this prior to the ordering process, refuse an order for multiple products with a different delivery time;
b. if the delivery of a product consists of several shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last shipment or the last part;

Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period
