Cancellation & Statutory Withdrawal Rights

Your Right to Cancel, Explained Clearly

This page explains, in plain language, how the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal applies to orders placed with Carplaylux (operated by Batterijen.net) across Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Croatia, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain — and exactly how it applies to CarPlay systems, Android Auto units, OEM and LED lighting, automotive electronics, and interior and exterior accessories.

14 Calendar Days to Cancel EU Directive 2011/83/EU 7-Business-Day Refunds No Reason Required
14Days to Cancel

From the moment your order is delivered, your 14-calendar-day cancellation window begins. You do not need to give us a reason, and you are not charged a cancellation fee for exercising this right.

How This Page Fits Together

Cancellation Policy and Return & Refund Policy, Working as One Process

To avoid any confusion, here is exactly how the two documents relate to one another. This Cancellation Policy explains your statutory legal right to withdraw from a purchase under EU consumer law, and the notice you need to send us to exercise it. Our separate Return & Refund Policy then covers the practical logistics of sending goods back and receiving your money — the same 14-day return window and 7-business-day refund timeline referenced on both pages. Reading either page gives you the same answer; we simply explain the legal right here and the physical process there, so nothing is left ambiguous.

This Cancellation Policy Covers

Your legal right of withdrawal, the deadline that applies, how to notify us, the model cancellation statement, and which products are excluded from this right by law.

Our Return & Refund Policy Covers

The physical steps for packaging and shipping a returned item back to our Dordrecht address, inspection on arrival, and the mechanics of issuing your refund.

Your Legal Right of Withdrawal

The 14-Day Right of Withdrawal, in Detail

As a consumer buying from an EU-registered online retailer, you benefit from the right of withdrawal granted by Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, as implemented into the national law of each country we serve. Here is what that means for an order placed on carplaylux.com:

14 Calendar Days, Not Business Days

You have 14 calendar days — including weekends and public holidays — starting from the day you (or a person you nominate, other than the courier) physically receives the goods.

Split or Multi-Item Deliveries

If your order arrives in several parcels (for example, a headlight kit and a wiring harness shipped separately), your 14-day period begins on the day you receive the final item.

No Reason Needed

You are free to cancel simply because you changed your mind, found a better fit, or no longer need the item — you do not need to justify your decision to us.

No Cancellation Fee

We do not charge a fee for processing a valid cancellation. Your only cost, where applicable, is the direct cost of returning the goods to us, explained further below.

How to Cancel Your Order

Five Steps, Start to Finish

Cancelling with Carplaylux is a straightforward, email-based process. Here is exactly what happens at each stage:

1

Notify Us Within 14 Days

Before your 14-day window closes, email info@carplaylux.com with your order number and a clear statement that you wish to cancel.

2

Use the Cancellation Statement

You may use our model cancellation statement below, write your own free-text notice, or use our online contact form — any clear statement is valid under EU law.

3

Receive Our Confirmation

We reply within 1 business day acknowledging your cancellation and, if your item has already shipped, providing return instructions and our warehouse address.

4

Return the Goods, If Delivered

If your order has already arrived, send it back to us within 14 days of the day you told us you were cancelling, in its original condition and packaging.

5

Receive Your Refund

We refund you to your original payment method within 7 business days of receiving the returned goods, or your proof of return shipment, whichever is earlier.

If you cancel before your order has been dispatched, no return is necessary — we simply refund the full order value once your cancellation notice reaches us.

Products You Can Cancel

Eligible for Cancellation, While Unopened and Unused

The following categories can be cancelled under the 14-day right of withdrawal, provided the item is unopened, unused, uninstalled, and returned in its original packaging with all included accessories:

Wireless CarPlay Systems

Standard, non-vehicle-configured units, sealed and unopened.

Android Auto Multimedia Units

Unopened units that have not been wired into a vehicle.

LED Headlight & Rear Light Kits

Unopened, non-VIN-matched lighting kits still in factory packaging.

Automotive Electronics

Control modules and clusters that remain sealed and unfitted.

Interior & Exterior Accessories

Unused trim and styling accessories in original packaging.

Each product page states clearly whether an item is vehicle-specific or VIN-matched, so you know its cancellation status before you order.

Exceptions to the Right of Cancellation

Where EU Law Does Not Grant a Right to Cancel

Article 16 of Directive 2011/83/EU lists specific exceptions to the right of withdrawal. Based on how our products are sold, the following situations are excluded from cancellation:

Customized or Personalized Products

Wiring looms, harnesses, or units modified or configured specifically to your vehicle at your request.

Products Already Installed

Any lighting, electronics, or media unit that has been fitted or wired into a vehicle can no longer be cancelled.

Goods That Have Deteriorated

Items damaged, scratched, or altered through handling beyond what is needed to inspect them, as ordinarily allowed in a physical shop.

VIN-Specific Genuine OEM Parts

Used OEM assemblies sourced and confirmed against your specific VIN during our vehicle-verification step, clearly marked on the relevant product page.

These exceptions mirror the exclusions already described in our Return & Refund Policy. If you are unsure whether an item you are considering qualifies, contact us before ordering and we will confirm in writing.

Cancellation Rules by Country

Country-Specific Detail for Every Market We Serve

The 14-day right of withdrawal is harmonized across the EU by Directive 2011/83/EU, but each country implements it through its own national law and enforcement authority. Here is how cancellation rights are enforced in each country we ship to:

Belgium
Implemented through Book VI of the Belgian Code of Economic Law and enforced by the FOD Economie (Federal Public Service Economy). Belgian law requires the cancellation right and its 14-day deadline to be stated clearly before you complete checkout, which we do at product and checkout level.
Czech Republic
Implemented under the Czech Civil Code and supervised by the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce, ČOI). Consumers may withdraw within 14 calendar days without giving a reason, matching the process described on this page.
France
Governed by Articles L221-18 to L221-28 of the French Consumer Code (Code de la consommation) and enforced by the DGCCRF. French law obliges us to provide the model withdrawal form (included above) and to reimburse all payments, including standard delivery cost, within the statutory timeframe.
Germany
Set out in §§355–357 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and supervised through regional consumer protection bodies (Verbraucherzentralen). German law requires the withdrawal form to also be available in German, which we provide on request to info@carplaylux.com, alongside this English version.
Hungary
Implemented by Government Decree 45/2014 on distance and off-premises contracts, enforced through Hungary's county government offices (Kormányhivatal). The Hungarian implementation mirrors the standard EU 14-day withdrawal period described here.
Italy
Set out in the Italian Consumer Code (Codice del Consumo), Articles 52–59, and enforced by the Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM). Italian law requires us to clearly disclose whether return shipping costs fall on the customer, which we do throughout this page.
Croatia
Implemented under the Croatian Consumer Protection Act and enforced by the State Inspectorate (Državni inspektorat). Croatian consumers benefit from the same 14-day withdrawal period, calculated from the date of physical receipt of goods.
Netherlands
As Carplaylux/Batterijen.net is registered and based in Dordrecht, our cancellation process is directly governed by Dutch civil law (Burgerlijk Wetboek, Book 6, Title 5, Section 2B) and supervised by the Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM). This is the legal framework this page is primarily written against.
Austria
Implemented via the Austrian Distance and Foreign Trade Act (Fern- und Auswärtsgeschäfte-Gesetz, FAGG) and overseen by the Consumer Information Association (Verein für Konsumenteninformation, VKI) under Austria's Federal Ministry of Social Affairs. The FAGG applies the standard 14-day withdrawal deadline used throughout this page.
Portugal
Governed by Decree-Law 24/2014 and enforced by the Direção-Geral do Consumidor (DGC). Portuguese law requires clear pre-contractual information about the withdrawal right, which is provided on our product and checkout pages in addition to this policy.
Slovakia
Implemented through Slovak consumer protection legislation and enforced by the Slovak Trade Inspection (Slovenská obchodná inšpekcia, SOI). Slovak law applies the same 14-calendar-day withdrawal period described above.
Slovenia
Set out in the Slovenian Consumer Protection Act (Zakon o varstvu potrošnikov, ZVPot-1) and enforced by the Market Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia (Tržni inšpektorat RS). Slovenian consumers hold the same 14-day right of withdrawal as elsewhere in the EU.
Spain
Governed by the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2007) and enforced by regional consumer authorities under Spain's Ministry of Consumer Affairs. Spanish law entitles you to the same 14-calendar-day cancellation window described throughout this page.

This overview is provided for transparency and general guidance and does not replace independent legal advice. If you have questions about how cancellation rights apply in your specific country, we recommend consulting a local consumer-law professional or your national consumer protection authority listed above.

Why Installed Items Cannot Be Cancelled

A Note on Vehicle Safety and Product Condition

Once a lighting or electronic component has been wired into a vehicle, it can no longer be resold as new, and, in the case of components that interact with a vehicle's safety systems, it cannot always be safely verified as fault-free once removed. This is why installation is treated as the point at which the right of cancellation ends for these product categories.

  • Before installing any product, confirm you still wish to keep it — installation ends your right to cancel that item under EU law.
  • If you are unsure about fitment or compatibility, contact us at info@carplaylux.com before installation, not after.
  • A defective item remains covered by your legal conformity guarantee even after installation — cancellation and defect claims are handled differently, and installing a faulty product does not remove your rights.
