For these purposes, Spanishsimcard.es informs that the Consolidated Text of the General Law for the Defense of Consumers and Users (TRLGDCU) establishes several options to be able to exercise the right of withdrawal. Among them, it contemplates the possibility of doing so by filling out a form electronically. In order to shorten the times and that you can make the return in a comfortable way and without delays, from Spanishsimcard.es we advise you to make use of that option and fill out the withdrawal form.

In accordance with current legislation, it may be possible to annul the contract concluded, without the need to justify such a decision and without penalty of any kind, within a period of 14 calendar days from the receipt of the goods by the customer.

The right of withdrawal shall not apply to contracts relating to:
