Right of withdrawal within 14 days for distance trading

According to art. 9 para. 1 of GEO no. 34/2014 regarding the legal regime of distance contracts, " the consumer benefits from a period of 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract or from a contract outside the commercial premises , without having to justify the decision to withdraw and without incurring other costs than those provided by art. 13 para. 3 and 14 " of the same normative act.

Thus, according to GEO no. 34/2014, the period for returning a good or giving up a service expires within 14 days from:

• the day on which the Buyer takes physical possession of the last good - if the Buyer orders multiple products in a single order that will be delivered separately
• the day on which the Buyer takes physical possession of the last good or the last part - in the case of the delivery of a product consisting of several lots or parts

In the case of repeated returns, regardless of the type of returned product, the Consumer will be informed through a written notification, call or e-mail, when incorrect behavior is detected.

The withdrawal period expires 14 days from the day on which the consumer or a third party, other than the carrier and indicated by the consumer, takes physical possession of the products.

Before the expiry of the withdrawal period, the consumer informs the professional about his decision to withdraw from the contract. For this purpose, the Professional provides the Consumer with a "contract withdrawal form", the model of which can be found on the main page of the Professional's website. The communication regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal must be sent before the expiration of the 14-day period.

At the time of placing the order, the pandoranarghileashop.com online store software of the seller immediately sends a notification to the buyer's e-mail address about the registration of the order.

This notification is not considered to be a contract concluded between the seller and the buyer. It simply signals to the buyer that the system has registered their request and forwarded it to an employee of the seller.

If the buyer does not receive such notice within 48 hours, then the buyer's bidding obligations and the seller's selling obligations are terminated.

The seller offers the possibility to the buyer, until the start of the execution of the order, to withdraw the order made electronically. When the execution of the order begins, the buyer receives by e-mail and/or by telephone an information regarding the expected duration of the execution and the beginning of the execution, subsequently there is the possibility of withdrawing his order only in person or through any of the contacts displayed on the website of the Seller.

The buyer has the right to withdraw from the Contract, respectively to return a good, within 14 calendar days, without citing any reason and without incurring costs other than those of delivery.
