How long is the right of withdrawal for an online purchase in Denmark?
The consumer normally has 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract, counted from the day the goods are received, or from the conclusion of the contract for services. If the trader has not informed the consumer of the right, the period is extended by up to 12 months. The amount must be refunded without undue delay and no later than 14 days after withdrawal is notified.
