Withdrawal Information Notice
Version 1.2 · In force from: 7 October 2026
(Information on your right of withdrawal and termination)
ColourSense — personal colour analysis
This document explains how you can get out of the contract and when you get your money back. It is the information required by Section 11(1) points i)–l) and Section 11(4) of Government Decree 45/2014 (II. 26.) on the detailed rules of contracts between a consumer and a business (hereinafter: Decree 45/2014), which implements Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights (hereinafter: the CRD) in Hungary. It contains the completed model instructions on withdrawal (Annex 1 to Decree 45/2014 = Annex I(A) CRD) and, as an annex, the model withdrawal form (Annex 2 to Decree 45/2014 = Annex I(B) CRD).
This notice forms part of the contract (Section 11(6) of Decree 45/2014; Article 6(5) CRD) and the Provider may not amend it unilaterally. It does not affect the rights conferred on you as a consumer by law, from which the parties may not derogate to your detriment by contract.
The other conditions of the service are set out in the Terms of Service (hereinafter: the Terms); this notice is the detailed elaboration of Chapter IX of the Terms. In the event of a difference, the interpretation more favourable to you applies.
A note on the statutory texts quoted. Hungarian law governs this contract (see Chapter XIV of the Terms). Decree 45/2014 has no official English text; where this notice quotes it, the quotation is the Provider's unofficial working translation, marked as such, and is accompanied by the official English text of the corresponding CRD provision, which is authentic in English.

1. The essentials in brief
This section does not replace Chapters 2 and 3, but it will orient you quickly.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I have a right of withdrawal? | Yes. You may withdraw without giving any reason within 14 days of the day on which the contract was concluded. The contract is concluded upon successful payment (point V.3 of the Terms). |
| How long does that right last in practice? | Until the Provider has fully performed the service, that is, until the Report reaches you by e-mail. The delivery time undertaken is within 24 hours at the latest — so the withdrawal window may be short. |
| When do I lose it? | When the Report is delivered, provided you made the two declarations described in Chapter 4 when you ordered. If the service were to qualify in law as digital content, you would lose it when performance begins. Details: Chapter 3. |
| If I withdraw before delivery, do I have to pay anything? | No. The law would allow a proportionate amount to be charged (Section 26; Article 14(3) CRD), but the Provider expressly waives it: if you withdraw before delivery, it refunds the full amount. Details: Chapter 5. |
| What do I get back? | The full amount you paid, within 14 days at the latest, using the same means of payment you used. You bear no additional cost. |
| How do I withdraw? | Using the "withdraw from contract here" function at https://colour-sense.com/en/withdrawal, using the model form in the Annex, or by any other unequivocal statement sent to support@colour-sense.com or to the postal address 2100 Gödöllő, Szabó Pál utca 32., Hungary. |
| And if the Report has already arrived? | Then the right of withdrawal has ended — provided the two declarations in Chapter 4 were made (see the red statement below). Either way this does not affect your warranty rights: if the Report is defective or does not conform to the contract, you have the remedies set out in Chapter X of the Terms. |
| What if we got the information wrong? | Then the withdrawal period is extended by 12 months (Section 21; Article 10 CRD) and you bear no cost of the performance (Section 27; Article 14(4) CRD). Details: Chapter 9. |
| Can I withdraw by telephone? | Yes — no formal requirement attaches to withdrawal. An oral statement made on +36 30 460 0093 is also valid; because of later provability, however, we recommend a written form. Details: point 7.2. |
🔴 Important statement about the position today. The row "When do I lose it?" above describes the legal position that arises if you made the two declarations set out in Chapter 4 when ordering. The ordering interface does not ask for those two declarations today, and the Provider does not send a contract confirmation message. Consequently, at the time this notice is published neither the exclusion under Section 29(1) point a) nor that under point m) takes effect: you may withdraw within 14 days of the conclusion of the contract even if the Report has already reached you, you may keep the Report, and under Section 27 you have to pay nothing at all for the service. The details are in points 3.2, 3.5 and 3.6.
2. Model instructions on withdrawal
The text below is the model instructions on withdrawal under Annex 1 to Decree 45/2014, completed. (Text in force: as established by Section 6 of Government Decree 116/2026 (VII. 30.).) Under Section 11(4) of Decree 45/2014 the information required by Section 11(1) points i)–k) may be given by supplying this model, appropriately completed.
In the English version the Provider reproduces the official English text of the corresponding EU model — Annex I(A) to Directive 2011/83/EU (as amended by Directive (EU) 2019/2161 and by Directive (EU) 2023/2673, applicable from 19 June 2026) — rather than a translation of the Hungarian text. The completion notes
[1]…[6]of the model have been resolved by the Provider in accordance with the statutory instructions for completion; wherever the model deals with goods, the passage has been omitted, because ColourSense supplies not goods but a digital service. The differences between the official English model and the Hungarian implementing text are set out in Note D below.
Model instructions on withdrawal
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us
Ágnes Gróf, sole trader Postal address: 2100 Gödöllő, Szabó Pál utca 32., Hungary Telephone number: +36 30 460 0093 E-mail address: support@colour-sense.com
of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online at https://colour-sense.com/en/withdrawal. If you use this
option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal — stating the
content of the withdrawal and the day and the time on which it was sent — on a durable medium
(e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
If you requested to begin the performance of services during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated us your withdrawal from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
The text of the model instructions ends here. The four notes below are not part of the statutory model; the Provider gives them so that the model is easier to understand correctly.
A) There are no delivery costs. The Provider performs the ColourSense service exclusively by electronic means, by e-mail; it does not ship goods, so no delivery cost arises either for you or for the Provider. The corresponding wording of the model is without object in your contract.
B) The Provider waives the proportionate amount. The paragraph above is the mandatory wording of the statutory model. In addition to it the Provider makes a voluntary commitment that is more favourable to you: if you withdraw or terminate before the Report has been delivered, it charges no proportionate amount and refunds the full amount you paid. The details are in Chapter 5. This commitment does not limit your statutory rights.
C) The Provider does not operate a fax line. The model mentions fax as an example of an unequivocal statement. The Provider has no fax number; the available channels are listed in Chapter 7.
D) Where the official English model and the Hungarian implementing text differ. Two points are relevant to you, and in both the Provider is bound by the wording that is more favourable to you:
- Acknowledgement of receipt. Both Annex 1 to Decree 45/2014 and completion note [3] of Annex I(A) CRD require, alongside the address of the online withdrawal function, that the Provider acknowledge receipt of the withdrawal without delay on a durable medium (for example by e-mail); the Hungarian implementing text spells out that the acknowledgement states the content of the withdrawal and the day and the time on which it was sent. The English version above carries the Hungarian — more detailed — wording, so that the two language versions impose the same obligation on the Provider. The same obligation also follows directly from Article 11a(4) CRD and Section 22(1c) of Decree 45/2014 — see point 6.2.
- The Hungarian text of the "Effects of withdrawal" section adds a further sentence: the Provider also refunds that part of the consideration you paid which exceeds the value of the service supplied by the Provider. The Provider is bound by that sentence too; in practice point 5.2 goes further still, because the Provider refunds the full amount.
3. When and how your right of withdrawal ends
This is the most important chapter of this notice. Please read it even if you skip the rest.
3.1 Legal classification of the service
In the Provider's view the ColourSense analysis is a digital service (Section 4 point 10 of Decree 45/2014; Article 2(2) of Directive (EU) 2019/770): you are not buying "a PDF file" but an analytical performance — the evaluation of your photograph and your answers — of which the PDF Report is merely the carrier.
It follows that the ending of the right of withdrawal is governed primarily by Section 29(1) point a) of Decree 45/2014 (Article 16(a) CRD).
At the same time, the Provider also satisfies, in the alternative and by way of belt and braces, the conditions of Section 29(1) point m) (Article 16(m) CRD) — for the case that the service were later to be classified as digital content not supplied on a tangible medium. The Provider satisfies the conditions of both grounds of exclusion together, at the same time, because the content of the declarations required is almost identical.
What this means for you: whichever classification is correct, you make the same two declarations when you order (Chapter 4), and you may exercise the same rights.
3.2 Primary ground of exclusion — full performance of the service
The official English text of Article 16(a) CRD:
Article 16 — Exceptions from the right of withdrawal Member States shall not provide the right of withdrawal set out in Articles 9 to 15 in respect of distance and off-premises contracts as regards the following: (a) service contracts after the service has been fully performed but, if the contract imposes an obligation on the consumer to pay, only if the performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that he will lose his right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed by the trader;
The Hungarian implementing provision — Section 29(1) point a) of Decree 45/2014 (unofficial working translation; the Hungarian text is authentic):
Section 29(1) The consumer may not exercise the right under Section 20 a) in the case of a contract for the supply of services, after the service has been fully performed; however, if the contract creates a payment obligation for the consumer, only if performance began with the consumer's express prior consent and with the consumer's acknowledgement that he or she loses the right of withdrawal once the business has fully performed the contract;
In plain language, applied to your contract:
- When you order, you expressly request that the Provider begin performance immediately, before the 14-day period expires, and, at the same time, you acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the Provider has fully performed.
- The moment of full performance is the moment the Report arrives at the e-mail address you gave (point VIII.3 of the Terms; Section 17(2) of Government Decree 373/2021 (VI. 30.) on the detailed rules of contracts for the sale of goods, for the supply of digital content and for the provision of digital services between a consumer and a business — hereinafter: Decree 373/2021 —, which implements Directive (EU) 2019/770).
- Up to that moment your right of withdrawal and termination is fully intact — even if you have already paid, and even if the Analysis is already being prepared.
- From the moment of delivery the right of withdrawal ends — but only if the two declarations under point 1 above were properly made.
The two cumulative conditions of Section 29(1) a) / Article 16(a) CRD — and how the Provider meets them
| # | The statutory condition | How the Provider meets it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Performance began with the consumer's prior express consent. | The declaration in point 4.1, by a separate tick box that is not pre-ticked, on the pre-payment screen. |
| 2 | The consumer acknowledged that he or she loses the right of withdrawal once the trader has fully performed. | The declaration in point 4.2, in a single tick box together with point 4.1, on the same screen. |
🔴 The Provider states this openly as well: for as long as the two declarations under points 4.1–4.2 are absent from the ordering interface and are not recorded, the exclusion under Section 29(1) point a) / Article 16(a) CRD does not take effect either, and the Provider does not rely on it. In that case — exactly as with point m) in point 3.5 — point 3.6 applies: you may withdraw within the 14-day period, keep the Report and pay nothing for the service (Section 27 a) ab) of Decree 45/2014; Article 14(4)(a)(ii) CRD).
3.3 Alternative ground of exclusion — digital content not supplied on a tangible medium
The official English text of Article 16(m) CRD:
(m) the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if the performance has begun and, if the contract imposes an obligation on the consumer to pay, where: (i) the consumer has provided prior express consent to begin the performance during the right of withdrawal period; (ii) the consumer has provided acknowledgement that he or she thereby loses his or her right of withdrawal; and (iii) the trader has provided confirmation in accordance with Article 7(2) or Article 8(7).
The Hungarian implementing provision — Section 29(1) point m) of Decree 45/2014 (unofficial working translation):
Section 29(1) The consumer may not exercise the right under Section 20 m) in respect of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, if the business began performance with the consumer's express prior consent, and the consumer, simultaneously with giving that consent, declared that he or she acknowledges losing the right under Section 20 once performance has begun, and the business sent the consumer a confirmation under Section 12(2) or Section 18.
In plain language: if the service were classified in law as digital content, the right of withdrawal would end not on delivery but already when performance begins — but only if all three conditions below are met (point 3.5).
3.4 The two grounds compared
| Aspect | Section 29(1) a) / Article 16(a) CRD — service (primary) | Section 29(1) m) / Article 16(m) CRD — digital content (alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| When the right of withdrawal ends | on full performance of the service = on delivery of the Report | when performance begins |
| What it requires | (i) express prior consent to performance beginning early + (ii) acknowledgement of the loss of the right | (i) express prior consent + (ii) simultaneous acknowledgement of the loss of the right + (iii) the confirmation under Section 18 / Article 8(7) CRD |
| The period between the start of performance and delivery | you have a right of termination, subject to the proportionate amount under Section 26 (which the Provider waives — Chapter 5) | the right of withdrawal has already ended |
| If a condition is missing | you may withdraw and you bear no cost of the performance (Section 27 a); Article 14(4)(a) CRD) | you may withdraw and you bear no cost of the performance (Section 27 b); Article 14(4)(b) CRD) |
Of the two, the Provider always applies the interpretation more favourable to you — that is, the one giving the longer withdrawal period: it accepts a withdrawal or termination statement up to the actual delivery of the Report, and refunds the full amount.
3.5 The three cumulative conditions of Section 29(1) m) — and how the Provider meets them
The three conditions are cumulative: if any one of them is missing, the exclusion does not take effect at all.
| # | The statutory condition | How the Provider meets it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The business began performance with the consumer's express prior consent. | On the summary screen of the ordering process, before payment, you make the declaration in point 4.1 by means of a separate tick box that is not pre-ticked. |
| 2 | Simultaneously with giving that consent, the consumer declared that he or she acknowledges losing the right under Section 20 once performance has begun. | On the same screen, at the same moment, in a single tick box together with point 4.1, with the wording in point 4.2 — one tick makes both declarations at the same instant. The acknowledgement cannot be inferred from general acceptance of the Terms. |
| 3 | The business sent a confirmation under Section 12(2) or Section 18 (Article 7(2) or Article 8(7) CRD). | At the latest when performance begins, the Provider sends, on a durable medium (by e-mail), a confirmation of the contract concluded which, under Section 18 point b) of Decree 45/2014, also restates the wording of the declarations under points 1 and 2. |
If any one of the conditions is missing, the exclusion does not take effect: you may then withdraw within the 14-day period even after the Report has reached you, and under Section 27 of Decree 45/2014 (Article 14(4) CRD) you bear no cost of the performance. The same applies to Section 29(1) point a) / Article 16(a) CRD, whose first two conditions are identical.
3.6 If any of the conditions is not met
The official English text of Article 14(4) CRD:
4. The consumer shall bear no cost for: (a) the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, where they are not put up for sale in a limited volume or set quantity, or of district heating, in full or in part, during the withdrawal period, where: (i) the trader has failed to provide information in accordance with point (h) or (j) of Article 6(1); or (ii) the consumer has not expressly requested performance to begin during the withdrawal period in accordance with Article 7(3) and Article 8(8); or (b) the supply, in full or in part, of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium where: (i) the consumer has not given his prior express consent to the beginning of the performance before the end of the 14-day period referred to in Article 9; (ii) the consumer has not acknowledged that he loses his right of withdrawal when giving his consent; or (iii) the trader has failed to provide confirmation in accordance with Article 7(2) or Article 8(7).
The Hungarian implementing provision — Section 27 of Decree 45/2014 (unofficial working translation):
Section 27 Where the consumer exercises the right under Section 20, he or she does not bear the following costs: a) the full or partial cost of performing a contract for the supply of services, if aa) the business failed to comply with its information obligation laid down in Section 11(1) point i) or k), or ab) the consumer did not, under Sections 13 and 19, request performance of the service to begin before expiry of the period laid down in Section 20(2); b) the full or partial cost of supplying digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, if ba) the consumer did not give express prior consent to performance beginning before expiry of the period laid down in Section 20(2), bb) the consumer, simultaneously with giving the consent under point ba), did not declare that he or she acknowledges losing the right under Section 20 by giving that consent, or bc) the business failed to give the confirmation prescribed in Section 12(2) or Section 18.
In plain language: if the Provider did not obtain the declarations above in due form, or did not send the confirmation, then you may withdraw within the 14-day period, you may keep the Report, and you do not have to pay anything at all for the service — the Provider refunds the full price.
3.7 What the Provider expressly does NOT rely on
The Provider does not rely on Section 29(1) point c) of Decree 45/2014 (Article 16(c) CRD — "the supply of goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalised"), because the Report is not goods: it is not a tangible movable item (Section 4 point 12 of Decree 45/2014; Article 2(3) CRD). The fact that the Analysis is personalised does not, in itself, exclude your right of withdrawal.
4. The two declarations you make when ordering — exact wording
This chapter sets out verbatim the two declarations you have to make on the summary screen of the ordering process. The Provider reproduces the wording here as well so that you can read it both before and after ordering, and so that the wording used on the ordering interface can be checked.
4.1 (a) Express request that performance begin immediately
☐ I expressly request that the Provider begin preparing and delivering the personal colour analysis immediately, before the 14-day withdrawal period expires.
4.2 (b) Acknowledgement of the loss of the right of withdrawal
☐ I acknowledge that upon full performance of the service — that is, when the Report containing the personal analysis arrives at the e-mail address I have given — I lose my 14-day right of withdrawal. I further acknowledge that, should the service qualify as digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, I lose my right of withdrawal already when performance begins. Until the Report is delivered, my right of withdrawal and termination remains in place.
4.3 Display requirements
The ordering interface must display the two declarations above as follows:
| # | Requirement | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A single, non-pre-ticked tick box carrying the verbatim wording of both declarations. | Section 29(1) a) and m) of Decree 45/2014; Article 16(a) and (m) CRD — the acknowledgement must be given simultaneously with the consent; the law does not prescribe two separate boxes |
| 2 | NOT pre-ticked (opt-in); you must tick them yourself. | the requirement that the declaration be "express"; a pre-ticked box is not an express declaration |
| 3 | Kept apart from acceptance of the Terms and of the Privacy Policy, with independent, easily legible wording. You accept the Terms and the Privacy Policy by submitting your order (Section 6:78 of the Civil Code), of which a separate notice next to the order button informs you. | Section 29(1) m) of Decree 45/2014; Article 16(m) CRD — the acknowledgement cannot be inferred from general acceptance of the Terms |
| 4 | Before payment begins, on the same screen as the order button. | Section 15(2) of Decree 45/2014; Article 8(2) CRD — the obligation to pay must be expressly indicated |
| 5 | In the language in which you place your order. | a declaration is "express" only if you understand its wording (Article 5 of Directive 93/13/EEC) |
4.4 Recording the declarations and the burden of proof
Under Section 11(7) of Decree 45/2014 (Article 6(9) CRD), the burden of proving compliance with the information requirements lies with the business. The Provider therefore records, attached to the order:
- the fact that the two declarations were made,
- the verbatim wording of each declaration and the version number of that wording,
- the timestamp at which each declaration was made,
- the version of the Terms accepted and the time of acceptance.
5. Withdrawal before delivery — the proportionate amount under Section 26
5.1 What the law says
The official English text of Article 14(3) CRD:
3. Where a consumer exercises the right of withdrawal after having made a request in accordance with Article 7(3) or Article 8(8), the consumer shall pay to the trader an amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until the time the consumer has informed the trader of the exercise of the right of withdrawal, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract. The proportionate amount to be paid by the consumer to the trader shall be calculated on the basis of the total price agreed in the contract. If the total price is excessive, the proportionate amount shall be calculated on the basis of the market value of what has been provided.
The Hungarian implementing provision — Section 26(1) of Decree 45/2014 (unofficial working translation):
Section 26(1) If, in a case falling under Section 13 or Section 19, the consumer terminates the off-premises or distance contract after performance has begun, he or she is obliged to pay the business an amount proportionate to the service performed up to the time the termination was communicated to the business. The amount to be paid proportionately by the consumer must be determined on the basis of the total consideration agreed in the contract, inclusive of tax. If the consumer proves that the total amount so determined is excessive, the proportionate amount must be calculated on the basis of the market value of the services performed up to the termination of the contract.
In plain language: if you requested performance to begin immediately and then terminate before delivery, the law would allow the business to charge a pro-rata amount for the work already done, calculated on the EUR 75.00 total consideration inclusive of tax.
5.2 The Provider's choice
The Provider does not charge the proportionate amount under Section 26 of Decree 45/2014 (Article 14(3) CRD).
If you withdraw or terminate before the Report is delivered — irrespective of whether preparation of the Analysis has begun — the Provider refunds the full amount you paid, and you have no amount to pay.
This commitment is voluntary, is more favourable to you than the law requires, and binds the Provider in respect of orders placed while this notice is in force. It neither affects nor limits the rights conferred on you by law.
ℹ️ Relationship with the Terms. Points IX.4 and IX.7 of the Terms contain the same waiver: point IX.4 sets out the statutory default rule under Section 26 and states that the Provider does not charge the proportionate amount, and point IX.7 undertakes to refund the full amount with no deduction of any proportionate amount. The two documents are therefore consistent. Should the texts ever differ, this notice is the more detailed one and the interpretation more favourable to you applies (see the introductory provision of Chapter IX of the Terms and the introductory block of this notice).
(Any further voluntary money-back commitment by the Provider: the Provider does not offer a voluntary money-back guarantee beyond its statutory obligations — see point IX.12 of the Terms.)
5.3 The refund and stopping delivery
If you withdraw or terminate before delivery, the Provider stops the preparation of the Analysis and the delivery of the Report.
Important. Initiating a refund does not automatically stop processing and delivery today — in this respect the state of the two systems is not linked, so stopping requires manual administrator intervention, and it may happen that the Report is delivered despite the refund.
If that happens, it does not affect your right to a refund: the Provider refunds the full amount in that case as well. Under Section 25/A of Decree 45/2014 you then refrain from further use of the Report (point 10.1).
6. The "withdraw from contract here" function and the acknowledgement
You can also notify us of your withdrawal on the website, using the "withdraw from contract here" function:
https://colour-sense.com/en/withdrawal
The function is continuously available throughout the withdrawal period: from the footer of every page of the website and from your order confirmation e-mail. You do not need to log in, and the Provider does not make submission conditional on contacting customer service, completing a questionnaire or listening to a retention offer.
6.1 What the form asks for
| # | Item |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your decision to withdraw |
| 2 | Your name |
| 3 | Data identifying the contract: your order reference or the e-mail address you gave when ordering |
| 4 | The electronic address at which you wish to receive the acknowledgement |
The submit button is labelled "confirm withdrawal".
6.2 The acknowledgement of receipt
The Provider sends you an acknowledgement of receipt on a durable medium — by e-mail — without undue delay after learning of your withdrawal (Section 22(1c) of Decree 45/2014; Article 11a(3) CRD). The acknowledgement states:
| # | Item | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The content of the withdrawal | what you declared |
| 2 | The day it was sent | calendar day |
| 3 | The time it was sent | hour:minute, with the time zone |
The acknowledgement and the refund are two separate obligations. The acknowledgement does not replace the refund, and the refund does not replace the acknowledgement. The rules on refunds are set out in Chapter 8.
6.3 If your statement arrives before the Report is delivered
The Provider then stops the preparation and delivery of the Analysis immediately and initiates a refund of the full amount you paid to your original means of payment. You need do nothing beyond submitting the statement.
6.4 If your statement arrives after delivery
The Provider still accepts the submission — it may not be prevented even where, in the Provider's view, the right of withdrawal has already ended. The legal assessment is then made afterwards, and the Provider informs you of the outcome in writing within 30 days at the latest. This does not affect your warranty rights (see Chapter X of the Terms of Service).
7. How to withdraw or terminate
7.1 The deadline
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| By when? | Within 14 days of the day on which the contract was concluded (Section 20(2) point b) of Decree 45/2014; Article 9(2)(a) CRD). The contract is concluded upon successful payment. |
| When is it made in time? | If you send the statement before the deadline expires (Section 22(3) of Decree 45/2014; Article 11(2) CRD). What counts is the moment of sending, not of arrival. |
| Who proves it? | Under Section 22(4) of Decree 45/2014 (Article 11(4) CRD) the burden lies with the consumer to prove that the right was exercised in accordance with that section. We therefore recommend that you keep the e-mail you sent or proof of posting. |
| Do I have to give reasons? | No. Withdrawal and termination may be exercised without giving any reason. |

Using the model form is not obligatory. Any statement from which your intention to withdraw or terminate is unequivocally apparent is valid. Withdrawal is subject to no formal requirement: the Provider does not require the use of a mandatory form, mandatory reasons or a mandatory order identifier (Section 22(1) point b) of Decree 45/2014; Article 11(1) CRD).
Why we nevertheless recommend a written form. Because under Section 22(4) of Decree 45/2014 (Article 11(4) CRD) the burden lies with you to prove that you exercised the right in time (point 7.1). The Provider treats a statement made by telephone as valid and acknowledges its receipt by e-mail, with the content required by point 6.2, but proof is simpler if you also send the statement in writing.
7.3 What helps if you provide it
To speed up handling we ask — but it is not a condition of the validity of your withdrawal — that you give:
- your name and the e-mail address you used when ordering,
- the date of the order or the order identifier shown in the confirmation message,
- the electronic address at which you want to receive the acknowledgement.
8. Refund
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How much? | The full amount you paid — under the commitment in point 5.2 the Provider deducts no proportionate amount. |
| When? | Without undue delay and in any event within 14 days of becoming aware of the withdrawal (Section 23(1) of Decree 45/2014; Article 13(1) CRD). |
| How? | Using the same means of payment as you used (for card payments, to the same card). The Provider uses a different means only with your express consent (Section 23(2); Article 13(1) CRD). |
| Does it cost anything? | No. You bear no additional cost as a result of the refund. |
| What happens to the invoice? | The Provider issues a corrective (cancelling, credit) invoice for the invoice already issued and sends it to you. |
| How long until it shows on my statement? | The time it takes for the refund to be credited depends on your bank and card issuer; this is outside the Provider's control. |
9. If the information is not given — extension of the period
Under Section 21 of Decree 45/2014 (Article 10 CRD):
- If the Provider failed to give the information required by Section 11(1) point i) — that is, the information on the right of withdrawal — the withdrawal period is extended by 12 months.
- If the Provider gives that information later, within 12 months of the expiry of the 14-day period, the period expires on the 14th day after that information is communicated.
In addition, under Section 27 (Article 14(4) CRD) you bear no cost of the performance in such a case (point 3.6).
10. After withdrawal: obligations and rights
10.1 Your obligation
Under Section 25/A of Decree 45/2014 (Article 14(2b) CRD): "In the event of withdrawal from the contract the consumer shall refrain from using the digital content or the digital service and from making it available to third parties." In your case this means that after withdrawal you do not continue to use the Report and you do not make it accessible to third parties.
10.2 Your personal data and the content you provided
a) Personal data. After withdrawal the Provider processes your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy; under Section 23(5) of Decree 45/2014 the provisions of the GDPR govern that processing. Withdrawal does not in itself extinguish the retention obligations imposed by law (for example the accounting retention of the invoice). Your right to erasure and its limits are described in the Privacy Policy.
b) The Provider's obligation to refrain. Under Section 23(6) of Decree 45/2014 (Article 16(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/770) the Provider, upon withdrawal, refrains from using content that you provided or created and that is not personal data. In your contract this means in practice that after withdrawal the Provider does not use the uploaded photograph or your questionnaire answers for the purposes of the Analysis — those data are, however, predominantly personal data, so they are governed primarily by the GDPR and by the Privacy Policy.
c) Making content available on request. Under Section 23(7) of Decree 45/2014 the Provider
makes available to you, at your request, the content you provided or created that is not personal
data. You can send such a request to support@colour-sense.com. Today such requests are fulfilled
manually (point 10.3,).
d) Preventing further use. Section 23(9) of Decree 45/2014 (Article 16(5) of Directive (EU) 2019/770) would entitle the Provider, upon withdrawal, to prevent further use of the service (for example by making the content inaccessible or by disabling the user account). The Provider does not exercise that right, and technically could not: the Report is delivered by e-mail as a PDF file, there is no user account, and a file already delivered cannot be recalled. Refraining from using the Report therefore remains your obligation under point 10.1.
10.3 Right to retrieve your content
Under Section 23(8) of Decree 45/2014 (Section 25(4) of Decree 373/2021; Article 16(4) of
Directive (EU) 2019/770) you are entitled to retrieve the digital content free of charge, without
hindrance, within a reasonable time and in a commonly used, machine-readable data format. You can
send such a request to support@colour-sense.com.
Important. No self-service retrieval (export) function exists today; the Provider fulfils such requests manually.
10.4 What the ending of the right of withdrawal does NOT affect
The ending of the right of withdrawal does not affect:
- your statutory warranty of conformity (kellékszavatosság) rights in the event of non-conforming performance (Chapter X of the Terms; Sections 21–25 of Decree 373/2021; Articles 11–14 of Directive (EU) 2019/770);
- your right to complain and to turn to the Conciliation Board (békéltető testület) — see the Complaints Policy;
- your right to bring the contract to an end if the Provider fails to supply the service at all (point VIII.5 of the Terms; Sections 23–24 of Decree 373/2021; Article 13 of Directive (EU) 2019/770).
11. If you are not ordering as a consumer
The rights of withdrawal and termination described in this notice are conferred on the Consumer, that is, on a natural person acting outside the scope of their trade, profession or business (Section 8:1(1) point 3 of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code; Article 2(1) CRD). If you order within the scope of your trade, profession or business, the right of withdrawal under Decree 45/2014 does not apply to you — the rules on warranty rights are set out in Chapter X of the Terms.

A withdrawal statement is not a complaint. The two procedures are distinct: withdrawal is a legal statement bringing the contract to an end, whereas a complaint is an objection concerning the Provider's conduct, activity or omission (Section 17/A of the Consumer Protection Act). If you disagree with how your withdrawal was assessed, you may make a complaint; the procedure — including the 30-day deadline for a substantive answer, the Conciliation Board (békéltető testület) and the consumer protection authority — is described in the Complaints Policy.
