If CERÊS has given the customer an option to withdraw from the contract within a certain period of time without any further legal consequences, then CERÊS is not entitled to any compensation. Decisive for the timeliness of the resignation declaration is their access at CERÊS. The customer must declare the withdrawal in writing.
