Users that do not qualify as Consumers, cannot benefit from the rights described in this section. Users can learn more about the cancellation conditions within this section.

Exercising the right to cancel

To exercise their right to cancel, Users must send to the Owner an unequivocal statement of their intention to withdraw from the contract.

Online dispute resolution for Consumers

The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, previously available for alternative dispute resolutions that facilitated an out-of-court method for solving disputes related to and stemming from online sale and service contracts, has been officially discontinued as of 20 July 2025, following the adoption of EU Regulation 2024/3228.
