The right of cancellation does not exist, for the purchase of a voucher, an online ticket, an actual card or the BWC Museum Island (compare § 8 (6) ).

2. The rescission period is fourteen days from the date on which you or a third party named by you (other than the carrier) have taken possession of the goods.

clearly stating your intention to rescind this contract. You can sure use the attached rescission template, if you wish, but its use is not mandatory. The notice of rescission shall be deemed timely if it has been sent before the expiry of the rescission period stated herein.

Consequences of rescission

If you rescind this contract, we shall refund all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of any additional costs incurred by your optional choice of another mode of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by use) within fourteen days from the date on which your notice of rescission has been received by us. We will refund the same method of payment that you used for the initial transaction, unless otherwise agreed with you; in no instance, will you be charged fees for this refund. We may withhold the refund until such time as we have received the returned goods or proof that such goods have been returned, whichever comes first.

You shall return the goods to us promptly and in any event not later than fourteen days from the date on which you notify us that you are exercising your right to rescind the contract. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before fourteen days run out.

We will bear the cost of such returns. You will only need to pay for any diminished value of the goods if the deterioration in value is due to handling beyond that which was necessary to ascertain the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
