4.1 The Customer can exercise its right of withdrawal within 14 (fourteen) days after delivery of the product without giving any reason(s) and without any indemnity, on the condition it has only unpacked the product in order to inspect it and try it on as would be possible in a physical shop in order to decide whether the Customer wishes to keep the product or not.
