(1) Where the consumer effectively has withdrawn their declaration of intent to conclude a contract and where the prerequisites for a linked contract have not been met, they also no longer will be bound to their declaration of intent to conclude a related contract. Section 358 (4) sentence 1 to 3 is to be applied accordingly to the winding up of the related contract. Where the consumer withdraws from a timeshare contract or a long-term holiday product contract, they are not to bear any costs for the related contract, either; section 357b (1) sentences 2 and 3 applies accordingly.
(2) A related contract is given wherever it relates to the contract from which the consumer has withdrawn and concerns a performance that is being provided by the trader under the contract from which the consumer has withdrawn, or by a third party on the basis of an agreement concluded by the third party and the trader who is party to the contract from which the consumer has withdrawn. A credit agreement is a related contract also in those cases in which the loan that a trader grants to a consumer exclusively serves to finance the contract from which the consumer has withdrawn and the performance by the trader, which is governed by the contract from which the consumer has withdrawn, has been specified exactly in the credit agreement.
