The reason for this is <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/de\/ALL\/?uri=CELEX:32023L2673\">EU Directive (EU) 2023\/2673 of 22.11.2023<\/a>, which aims to make the withdrawal from online contracts just as easy as concluding them. Consumers should no longer have to search for cumbersome forms or write emails &#8211; one click is enough.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background: Why the withdrawal button is coming<\/h3>\n\n<p>The EU sees a need for action because many consumers find withdrawal too complicated. The new legal situation obliges retailers to provide a digital function for online contracts that makes withdrawal <strong>simple, clearly recognizable and<\/strong> possible <strong>at any time during the withdrawal period<\/strong>.<br \/>According to the EU Commission, the implementation serves to strengthen consumer confidence in online trading and is intended to <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group v4-pattern-general-quote-box has-kpw-pink-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<p>Make consumers more aware of their law of withdrawal and simplify the possibility of exercising it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kernpunkt-der-neuregelung\">Key point of the new regulation  <\/h2>\n\n<p>According to the new regulation in Article 11a of the Consumer Rights Directive, online retailers are obliged to provide an easily accessible and clearly recognizable withdrawal function when contracts are concluded via an online user interface. This function must be marked with the words &#8220;withdraw from contract&#8221; or equivalent wording and remain available at all times during the entire withdrawal period. <\/p>\n\n<p>The consumer must be able to use this function to simply declare withdrawal online by providing certain information such as their name, contract identifier and a means of communication for confirmation. They are then asked to confirm their decision via a confirmation function labeled &#8220;Confirm withdrawal&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n<p>As soon as the consumer executes this confirmation, the trader is obliged to immediately send him a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium &#8211; for example by e-mail. This must contain the content of the withdrawal as well as the date and time of receipt. Withdrawal is deemed to have been exercised in good time as soon as the consumer sends the online withdrawal declaration before the withdrawal period expires.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What online retailers should do now<\/h2>\n\n<p>Even if there is still some time until 19.06.2026, retailers should plan early:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow\">\n<li><strong>Technical preparation<\/strong>: Involve web developers to programmatically set up a revocation function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check placement<\/strong>: The button must be easy to find and logically integrated into the customer account or order area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adapt texts<\/strong>: Cancellation notices must refer to the new function in future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ensure documentation: <\/strong>Implement automatic shipping confirmation for withdrawals received.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check data protection<\/strong>: The function may only collect necessary data and must be <a href=\"https:\/\/kpw.law\/en\/fields-of-law\/data-protection-law\/\">GDPR-compliant<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
