8.2	As soon as possible, but no later than 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in Paragraph 1, the consumer shall return the product or hand it over to (an authorised representative of) the trader.

The consumer shall be deemed to have honoured the return period if they return the product before the cooling-off period has expired.

9.2	The trader shall reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the trader for the returned product, without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which the consumer notifies them of the withdrawal. Unless the trader offers to collect the product themselves, they may wait with the repayment until they have received the product or until the consumer proves that they have sent the product back, whichever date comes first.
9.3	The trader shall use the same means of repayment that the consumer used for payment, unless the consumer agrees to a different method. The repayment is free of charge for the consumer.
