You shall have exercised your right of cancellation within the cancellation period if you have communicated that decision to us in accordance with clause 5.7 before that period has expired.
5.2 Cancellation shall terminate the obligations of the parties: (a) to perform the contract; or (b) to conclude the contract, in cases where an offer was made by you. If you exercise your right of cancel, any ancillary contracts shall automatically be terminated.
5.3 There will be no right to cancel in the following situations:
a. service contracts after the service has been fully performed if the performance has begun with your prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that you will lose your right of rescission once the contract has been fully performed by us;

5.4 The burden of proof that a right to cancel exists in accordance with this clause shall be on you.
5.5 You shall not incur any liability as a consequence of cancellation, except for:
a. the direct cost of returning the products, and

In consideration of the risk of loss or damage of goods as implied under clause 6, we recommend that you use a carrier that allows the tracking and monitoring of the goods. For the most efficient processing we recommend that you contact us at the telephone number indicated to obtain a return case-id prior to returning your product.
5.9 If you cancel the contract, we shall refund all payments received from you including, if applicable, the costs of delivery (with the exception of any supplementary costs if you have expressly opted for a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). This refund will be made without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to cancel this contract in accordance with clause 5.7.

Upon cancellation in accordance with this clause, we shall, without undue delay, reimburse all sums paid under the contract.
