The withdrawal period will expire after 7 days from the day of the acceptance of this Agreement. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Agreement by a clear statement by e-mail: support@x-design.com (please quote “X-Design” in your email title) or by mail to Suite 11.109, Level 11, Scaleup Hub, 477 Pitt Street, Haymarket, New South Wales, Australia, 2000 (Attention: Legal Department, Starii) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement.
