2. has become aware of the information stipulated in Art. 40d .
The onus is on the supplier to prove when the customer received the information stipulated in Art. 40d .
The time limit is observed if, on the last day of the prescriptive period, the customer informs the supplier of revocation or posts his written notice of revocation.³
