1 hr confidence: 
(BrE) right to change your mind (EU) right to withdraw from contract Explanation: Perhaps we ought to shift and switch the emphasis from the discussion entries to actual answers. My Anglo-centric translation of the Danish fortrydelsesret (and literal Spanish term of 'repentance') terms is 'right to change your mind'. Withdrawal IMO ought to be extended by the words: 'from contract or purchase' to avoid any misunderstanding. Gullberg: right to reverse (*cancel*, annul) a purchase. ångervecka : cooling-off week vs. Prisma: week in which a consumer is allowed to return a purchase. ('Cooling-off' on the British Isles is routinely written inside inverted commas to denote an idiomatic expression. Alas, an English Solicitor and a Barrister once claimed at a contract and sale of goods translation workshop in the UK that a contract cannot be 'cancelled' : clearly out of step and sync with the UK Consumer Credit Act 1975 and The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (second weblink). BTW, there is - albeit controversially - no *right* in English law to rescind a contract, rather to have a contract rescinded 1. by mutual agreement oif the parties or 2. by the court as an equitable remedy, so at *the discredtion* of the court, much like rectification of docs. & deeds or even the UK land-regd. entries. Example sentence(s):
