Sending the withdrawal statement provided by the Store within the time limit is sufficient to meet the deadline.
In the event of withdrawal from the contract, the Sales Agreement is considered null and void, and the Consumer or the entity referred to in § 10 of the Regulations is obliged to return the Product to the Seller or hand it over to a person authorized by the Seller without delay, but no later than 14 days from the day of withdrawal from the contract, unless the Seller has offered to collect the Product themselves. Sending the Product back before the deadline is sufficient to meet the deadline.
In the case of withdrawal from the Sales Agreement, the Product must be returned to the address:
The Consumer or the entity referred to in § 10 of the Regulations is responsible for any reduction in the value of the Product resulting from its use beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the Product. To determine the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the Products, the Consumer or the entity referred to in § 10 of the Regulations should handle and inspect them only in the same way they would in a physical store.

The 14-day period within which the Consumer or the entity referred to in § 10 of the Regulations may withdraw from the contract is counted from the day the Consumer or the entity referred to in § 10 of the Regulations takes possession of the Product, and in the case of a service, from the day the contract is concluded.
The right to withdraw from a distance contract does not apply to the Consumer or the entity referred to in § 10 of the Regulations in the case of a Sales Agreement:

3. where the subject of the service is an item that, after delivery, due to its nature, is inseparably connected with other items,
