A corresponding revocation instruction can be found in the respective sales conditions of the seller and can be viewed directly on the platform the wearness via the seller's website as well as via the revocation information of the wearness.

§ 6 TERM AND TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT OF USE

(5) The assignment of the sustainability icons to the respective vendors is based on the information the wearness receives from the vendors on the basis of a detailed questionnaire, in which, among other things, the manufacture, production routes and transport are queried. The icons do not represent a recognized seal or certificate and do not meet official standards.
(6) The platform of the wearness may contain links to external websites of third parties on whose contents the wearness has no influence. the wearness can therefore assume no liability for the correctness and legal admissibility of these external contents. The content of the linked websites is always the responsibility of their respective providers or operators. the wearness expressly does not adopt as its own the content that can be accessed via the reference or link. We cannot reasonably be expected to check the content of the linked pages without concrete indications of an infringement. The wearness will remove such links immediately upon becoming aware of any infringements.
(7) the wearness makes every effort to provide the platform or the online marketplace without interruption. However, since the wearness cannot, for example, guarantee the proper functioning of the Internet, servers and data transmission, there may be interruptions in access to the platform. Availability may also be interrupted from time to time for reasons of maintenance and improvement. the wearness endeavours to keep this to a minimum.
