We would like to point out that payment must be received within seven days after the confirmation. Otherwise, after this period your order will be canceled automatically.

CONSEQUENCES OF CANCELLATION
If you cancel this contract, we will be required to refund all payments that we received from you, including shipping costs (with the exception of additional costs incurred because you chose a different shipping method than the lowest-cost standard shipping offered by us), without delay and no later than 14 days of the day on which we received your cancellation notice. For the refund, we will use the same payment method that you used for the original transaction, unless another arrangement was expressly agreed with you; in no case will we charge you fees for this refund. We can refuse the refund until we have received the goods back or until you can demonstrate that you sent the goods back, whichever date is earlier.

This deadline will be deemed to have been met if you send the goods before expiration of the 14-day period. You will be responsible for any loss of value of the goods only if this loss can be attributed to handling by you to an extent that was beyond that required to inspect the condition, quality and functionality of the goods.
