The buyer who withdraws must pay the entire service even if he refuses execution of the contract: it is impossible to renounce the purchase of the product once the deposit is paid, unless a new agreement is made. found with the seller (excluding consumer credit). It is possible to reimburse a deposit, with possible compensation, if the seller fails to fulfill its main obligation (delivery of a product, in particular).
