Withdrawal instructions & refund policy
Important: No refund after the PDF download
Once you have unlocked CVwerk Premium and/or downloaded your CV as a PDF, a refund or withdrawal is excluded. The statutory right of withdrawal expires for digital content delivered immediately as soon as performance begins. Legal basis: Section 356 (5) of the German Civil Code (BGB) as well as Art. 16 lit. m of the EU Consumer Rights Directive (Directive 2011/83/EU). Exceptions apply only in the case of technical errors or incorrect charges (see point 4).
CVwerk offers CVwerk Premium – a one-time payment of €5.99 (incl. VAT, in euros) that unlocks the PDF export of your CV (all templates, without watermark) as well as other premium features. This is digital content that is provided immediately after purchase. The payment is processed through our payment service provider and seller (Merchant of Record) Freemius (Freemius, Inc.).
Consumers have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen (14) days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (CVwerk, [email protected]) of your decision by means of a clear statement (e.g. by email). To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that you send your notification before the period expires.
For contracts concerning the supply of digital content not delivered on a physical medium, the right of withdrawal expires if you have expressly agreed that performance of the contract should begin before the withdrawal period expires, and you have confirmed your knowledge that by giving this consent you lose your right of withdrawal once performance begins. We obtain this consent expressly during the payment process (checkout). Once performance begins – that is, upon unlocking or downloading the PDF – the right of withdrawal expires and a refund is excluded. Legal basis: Section 356 (5) of the German Civil Code (BGB) as well as Art. 16 lit. m of the EU Consumer Rights Directive (Directive 2011/83/EU).
CVwerk Premium is digital content that is provided immediately after purchase. Since you expressly consent to immediate performance during the payment process, withdrawal after the feature has been unlocked or after the download is excluded by law (see point 3). There is therefore no general entitlement to a refund after a successful PDF download.
As a gesture of goodwill, we will nevertheless refund the purchase price if one of the following cases applies:
Please contact us within 14 days of purchase at [email protected] and provide your order or payment reference. Each case is reviewed individually.
(If you wish to withdraw from the contract, please fill out this form and return it to us.)
