4.2.2 If the consumer has requested that FAC’s performance should begin during the withdrawal period and if this has not been fully performed by the time of withdrawal, the consumer shall pay a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already performed up to the time of exercising the right of withdrawal compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.

4.3 Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

4.3.1 Pursuant to section 18(1) FAGG, the consumer has no right of withdrawal in the case of distance or off-premises contracts for:
