In the case of an effective revocation the mutually received benefits are to be returned and if so derived profits are to be returned.

For you, the period begins on submission of the declaration of withdrawal and for us upon receipt of the same.

Your right of withdrawal shall expire prematurely if the agreement, at your express request, has been executed in full by both parties prior to your exercising your right of withdrawal.
