The Customer who wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, before the expiry of the above period, must send the Company to the contact details mentioned in the preamble of these GCS, the withdrawal form annexed at the end of these GCS duly completed, or a declaration clearly expressing his desire to withdraw and including his order number.
