The moment you hear the words, "You have multiple sclerosis," your world splits into two distinct eras: the time before, and the time after.
In the time after, you're handed a new, unwanted vocabulary—lesions, demyelination, spasticity. You're thrust into a storm of late-night internet searches that leave you more terrified than informed.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
