To verify eligibility, the Operator may access information such as device ID, payment method or e‑mail address previously used for an Athenify subscription. Restrictions may apply when combining with other offers.

User Obligations

Right of Withdrawal

1. Withdrawal Instruction
   You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract was concluded. To exercise your right, you must inform the Operator by means of a clear statement (e.g. letter, fax or e‑mail) of your decision to withdraw. You may use the attached sample withdrawal form, but it is not mandatory. Sending the notification before the withdrawal period expires is sufficient.
2. Consequences of Withdrawal
   If you withdraw, the Operator will reimburse all payments received from you, including delivery costs (except additional costs arising if you chose a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery offered), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day the Operator receives your withdrawal notice. The Operator will use the same means of payment you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise; no fees will be charged for the refund.

If you requested that services begin during the withdrawal period, you must pay the Operator an amount proportionate to the services already provided up to the time you notified the Operator of your withdrawal, compared with the total scope of services stipulated in the contract.

Special Notes on Withdrawal

2. The right of withdrawal lapses under § 356 (5) BGB for contracts for digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if performance has begun after the consumer (i) expressly consented to performance starting before the withdrawal period ends and (ii) acknowledged losing the right upon performance start.
