If you receive a defective or damaged product, you are entitled to repair, replacement, or — where applicable — a reduction in price or rescission of the contract, within the statutory limitation period of two years from delivery.
14.5 Digital Content and Services
The right of withdrawal does not apply to digital content (including memberships, subscriptions, downloads, streaming, or other online services) once the service has begun, provided you have expressly consented to immediate performance and acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal, in accordance with Section 356(5) BGB.
