  7. The consumer shall not bear the costs for the provision of services or the supply of water, gas, or electricity that has not been made ready for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if:
  8. the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, the reimbursement of costs in case of withdrawal, or the model withdrawal form; or
  9. the consumer has not explicitly requested the commencement of the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, electricity, or district heating during the cooling-off period.

  3. The entrepreneur shall use the same means of payment that the consumer used for the reimbursement, unless the consumer agrees to a different method. The reimbursement is free of charge for the consumer.
