6. 6.

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal
For products:

2. The consumer is only liable for decrease in value of the product resulting from a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is allowed in paragraph 1.
3. The consumer is not liable for any diminished value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided him with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the time of concluding the contract.

8. Sealed audio, video recordings and computer software of which the seal has been broken after delivery;
9. Newspapers, magazines or journals, with the exception of subscriptions to these;
